Question

Is there a way to prevent Adobe Acrobat Pro DC from attempting to connect to the internet each time it launches?

I am behind a proxy that changes daily, and I usually don't need the internet services.

I don't want to enter my proxy password every day when I open a PDF file.

I don't want it to prompt me for my proxy password unless I explicitly attempt to use an internet service.

The only way I was able to stop it was going into my Creative Cloud preferences and Unchecking, "launch creative cloud at login"... that helped, if that's the issue?

It will still connect to the internet on a regular basis to validate your subscription, though.

Do you know how often it needs to validate my subscription by checking online? If it checks it every day, then I'll be back where I started, since my proxy server changes my password every day.

Assuming you have the subscription version of Acrobat, I don't think there's any way around it. Why not simply add an exception in your proxy for this application?

Under LAN Settings -> Proxy Settings, I only see an option to add addresses to the exceptions list. How can I add an exception for a specific application like Adobe DC?

I've done some additional searching and still can't find a way to bypass the proxy for a specific application in Windows 7.

Is there a way for me to find out if I have the subscription version of Acrobat DC? My company purchased a single user license key for me. If I don't have the subscription version, is there a way to disable the automatic internet connection?

Thanks for your help.
