Need help with auto-detect feature when creating a form with fields.

[lizm22190582]

I am attempting to create a form with fillable fields. Prior versions of Adobe would suggest an auto-detection option (though a dialog box that appeared) which saved quite a bit of time. My current version of Adobe (Acrobat X Pro) does not seem to have this feature. Any suggestions would be appreciated. It is way too time consuming to add each field one by one. Is it possible that I somehow have this feature turned off? I have attempted it with multiple documents with the same result.

Thank you for your time.

When you select Prepare Form, look way down at the bottom under the word Start. What does it say?

If it says OFF, as mine does, click Change to go to Preferences for Forms and turn it on.
