    I've been having an issue where if I fill in a text box, it fills in another text box somewhere else. This will happen on several forms and it has only been happening recently in the past few weeks.

    I have attached a form that this is specifically happening.

    Page 2's 'Other (Specify)' box and page 6's 'Date Signed' middle day text box are essentially linked, whatever you enter in those boxes will show up with the same text.

    I originally opened it on a computer with win10 with adobe acrobat pro where I noticed the problem. I then opened it on 3 other win10 pcs with adobe reader to check, same thing. The odd thing is that this same file, when downloaded and opened on a macbook with adobe reader works perfectly fine and it doesn't happen.

    Is this any settings issue that I can change or version change? This is frustrating with adobe.
