Completing fields automatically
You can use the Auto-Complete Forms preferences to save time when filling in forms. If
the first few characters you type in a form field match something you've typed in a
previous form field, the Auto-Complete feature either displays a list of the most probable
matches or automatically enters a very probable match for you.
To set Auto-Complete preferences:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS), and select
Forms from the list on the left.
2. Choose an option from the Auto-complete menu. When you choose an option, the box
below the option describes the effect of the selected option.
3. If you want to include numerical characters in the auto-complete memory, select
Remember Numerical Data.
To delete one or more Auto-Complete entries from storage:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS), and select
Forms from the list on the left.
2. Click Edit Entry List.
3. In the Auto-Complete Entry List dialog box, do one of the following, and click Yes in the
confirmation dialog box:
●
To remove all of the entries, click Remove All.
●
To remove only some of the entries, select the entries and click Remove. Shift-click to
select multiple adjacent entries; Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to
select multiple nonadjacent entries.
