Adobe Reader: How do I remove the Share button and popup?

Thank you.

With all software, I try to remove clutter from the screen, so I can concentrate on the task - marking student scripts in this case.   I never want a summary of a student script - I need to consider and comment on every word and concept from the student.  The screenshot illustrates many completely redundant features for the task: All tool (including side panel), Share, AI assistant, PDF Space, e-sign, convert.  It would be much better if they could be removed so that Reader opens with a cleaner screen.   If I want them, I can find them in the menu.  The new small commenting panel is an excellent introduction, but I don't want the others - no matter how useful they might be to other users - just too busy. And some of them open as I am trying to read and comment on the open document. Really distracting and unnecessary.

Thank you for the prompt (but negative) response.

May I quote back to you 

"Your feedback matters—and we’ve listened.

We understand that not everyone requires AI assistance in their workflow. Many of you shared concerns about intrusive prompts and lack of control, and we’ve taken action. 

Now, Acrobat gives you complete control over AI features through Preferences. You decide what stays on and what turns off—no enforcement, no surprises — just flexibility. "

The same applies to most features of just about every piece of software I use. They all get feature bloat.

So if you are actually listening, please apply this policy to all the features.  I do not want anything to do with signatures etc,  etc,
