Help! Every time I open an Adobe with comments the comments field opens up

Question

I keep trying to disable this. I go to "preferences" and then unclick the "show comments pane with a pdf with comments is opened" but after I save and close it, when I reopen it that box is ticked again?!?!

Can someone PLEASE help on this? How can I permanently disable this so when I open up a PDF the comments section doesn't open? THANK YOU!!!

Hi vincent36926644bzah,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the delay in response.

Please try repairing the installation. In Acrobat Reader, go to Menu > Help > Repair Installation.

If that does not help, try reinstalling the application using the following steps:
- Remove the application and run the cleaner tool (https://adobe.ly/45fjRBG).
- Reboot the machine
- Install Adobe Acrobat Reader from the following page: https://adobe.ly/3VrVttk;

Let us know if the issue still occurs.

Thanks,

Meenakshi
