How to Restore Missing Auto-Complete Phrases in Adobe Fill and Sign
Question details
The user is unable to find their previously saved auto-complete phrases, such as names and dates, in the Adobe Fill and Sign application.
- Product
- Adobe Fill and Sign
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- The user is attempting to fill out a PDF form using their saved personal information.
- Observed behavior
- The auto-complete feature fails to suggest or display previously saved phrases, leaving the saved entries completely unavailable.
Ensure you have a stable internet connection to sync cloud data and verify that you haven't recently cleared your device's app cache, as this can delete locally saved auto-complete data.
Verify Adobe ID and Account Sync
Most missing auto-complete phrases are caused by being signed out or using the wrong Adobe account.
If your phrases were saved while logged into an Adobe account, they are synced to the cloud. Logging out or switching accounts will hide these phrases.
Launch the Adobe Fill and Sign app and navigate to the Profile or Settings section.
Verify the currently signed-in Adobe ID. If you are signed out or using a different email, sign out.
Log back in using the original Adobe ID that was used when you first saved the auto-complete phrases.
Wait a few moments while connected to the internet for the app to sync your cloud data and restore your phrases.
Update the Application
Outdated app versions can suffer from syncing bugs that prevent saved entries from displaying properly.
Rebuild the Auto-Complete Profile
If your data was stored locally and the app cache was wiped, you will need to re-enter your information manually.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my auto-complete phrases suddenly disappear in Adobe Fill and Sign?
This usually happens if you were automatically signed out of your Adobe account, switched to a different Adobe ID, performed a major device OS update, or cleared the app's local data cache.
Can I recover Adobe Fill and Sign data if I didn't use an Adobe ID?
Unfortunately, if you used the application without logging into an Adobe ID, your auto-complete phrases were saved locally on your device. If the app is uninstalled or the data is cleared, those phrases are permanently lost.
Does WPS Office support saving signatures for PDF forms?
Yes, WPS Office provides robust PDF editing features, including the ability to securely save your custom digital signatures for quick reuse on any PDF document.
