Question

Can I select minimal access options for Adobe Acrobat for Google Drive?

Hi,

 
I installed the Acrobat add on for Google Drive and accepted the minimum access permissions, however, when I right click a PDF document in Google Drive and "open with" > " Adobe Acrobat for Google Drive"
it asked me to select more access options before I could open the document.
 
For every subsequent PDF I open, I need to select at least one other access option until they are all exhausted, and I am not blocked by this question, to open a PDF document.
 
If I don't enable another access option, I am taken to:
without the document opening.
 
I only want to accept three of the seven access options. For example, I don't want to enable "see info about users on your domain", but I must eventually select it in order to view a PDF document.
 
Is there a way around this?
or must I eventually select all access options to use this add on?
Is this a bug in the "Adobe Acrobat for Google Drive wants access to your Google Account" function?
 
Thanks

Did you ever get an update here? I have the same question. I'd like to be able to use this tool, but am not ok with sharing personal information for other people on my domain.

Hi Lynne342689688dzn,

 

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

 

Currently, it is not possible. You must select all the options on the page to use the service.  

 

 

 

However, you may share your suggestion with the product team here: https://adobe.ly/4ahM9gn. 

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hi Rosie,

 

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry to hear about your experience.

 

Would you mind sharing the video of options when you open the PDF on Google Drive? 

It will help us to better understand your issue.

We will check with the team if that can be minimized.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi
