Is there a way to disable the adobe added option in the context menu that appears when you highlight text on Android?

Please add a toggle to hide "Add to Acrobat PDF Spaces" from the Android highlight menu.

Currently, when the app is installed, it automatically injects shortcuts like "Add to Acrobat PDF Spaces" and "Create PDF" into the system-wide text selection context menu (the menu that appears when highlighting text in any app, like a web browser).

Giving users control over this would greatly improve the user experience and keep our mobile workspaces clean.

    Hi there 

     

    Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out and sharing your observation.

     

     "Add to Acrobat PDF Spaces" and "Create PDF" aren't a popup Acrobat is drawing on top of Android. They're standard Android text-processing actions that surfaces in the floating selection toolbar. Currently there isn't an in-app switch in Acrobat to hide them. Mostly the floating toolbar only shows the first few items inline and tucks the rest behind the overflow (three-dot) menu .

     

    If it continues to appear, please share:

    1. The version of the Acrobat Mobile App and the OS you are using? Tap on the profile > About Acrobat and try updating the app to the latest version available on the App/Play Store and reboot the device once.  
    2. And a small video recording of the steps you are taking and the issue as it accurs for further checking by our engineering team.
