A Dark Site with no internet connectivity - Reader (64/32bit) spawns many AcroCEF

Question

Hi,I've read that AcroCEF is inseperable, can't be configured via Registry etc.but, i don't it, i'm in dark site, no web whatsoever.if i rename the AcroCEF.exe file and several others, that annoying behaviour stops and i get my PDF with very minimum resource usage by Acrobat.exe or AcroRD32.exe. The behaviour i'm referring is having multiple AcroCEF.exe spawn each with a different role, some are renderer, some utility, some are gpu-process (Which I don't even have as this is VDI)And i know that this is just a mini chromium adobe runs to handle off-process fetch etc.And even thos is disabled messages on startup i can still see something trying to go to ipm2.adobe.com or RNA-whatever.adobe.com So, any reasons you guys think, i'll have a problem reading PDFs if i rename those executable files to prevent them from runnning?
