Change the Auto-Complete options

The Auto-Complete feature stores any entries that you type in a PDF form field, and then suggests or even automat­
ically enters responses that match your typing in other form fields. The suggestions appear in a pop-up menu, from
which you can select a match. The Auto-Complete feature is off by default, so you must enable it in the forms prefer­
ences if you want to use it.

corrected later—you can edit the list in the preferences.
