how to stop auto fill in preview app

It's so annoying! Even if you select it and it fills in a couple fields, it still pops up al the time. I'm running Sonoma 14.2.1.

Sadly since you included two questions in one post, and since the second less important question was answered, I don't think we're getting an answer on the real question.

I'm using standard IRS fill-in PDFs to do my taxes, and darned Preview keeps wanting to fill my cell phone number into the "Name(s) Shown on Return" field at the top of every page. Apple, PLEASE LET US TURN THIS OFF!!!!!!!!!!

More and more, this is why people are turning away from Apple. I find the functionality of Apple products and software to be subpar nowadays. Little things like this should be addressed immediately.

(And if you have a solution to stop the blue up arrow indicating cap lock from popping up without use Terminal I would be greatly appreciative.)

There is a temporary method…

1. Press the Caps Lock key
2. Click on the indicator which turns off Caps Lock
3. Press the Caps Locks key again
4. Type

It will remain in ALL CAPS UNTIL YOU PRESS CAPS LOCK AGAIN.

Just adding support for this - it is infuriating at tax time when many of us are filling out PDF forms
