Possible to disable auto fill in PDF Form

[Saurabh D]

Hi,

I'm displaying a PDF form in an Asp.Net web page using the PDF Viewer control. However, the PDF form fields are showing my browser auto complete options. Is it possible to disable this? Seems strange that the PDF Viewer will show chrome autocomplete options.

Thanks.

Hi Saurabh,

On further analysing, you can achieve your requirement with "Possible to disable auto fill in PDF Form" by disabling the auto fill option in chrome browser (Chrome Settings -> Autofill -> Addresses and more -> disable save and fill addresses).

Could you please confirm whether the given solution satisfies your requirement or not?

Hi,

Unfortunately disabling autofill at the browser level will not work for me since it would require every client using the application to turn off autofill in their browser when they are using the application, and then turn it back on when they're not using the application. I tried setting it for all <input> controls in the page using javascript but no success there as well. Can you pls advise if there is another way.

Thanks.
