Hi, 

 

 

I run Acrobat PRO JP2K Version 4.000.00000.52132 64-bit 

Don't get me wrong, I love Acrobat products, but there's a very annoying bug in acrobat. Sometimes it opens in a "Help Improve Acrobat" and there is no way to get rid of the window:

 

 Usually I kill acrobat in the windows program manager and pray for it open without asking me again. I tried to write many things, perhaps it wont let me go without hearing what it wants to hear, but I had no success. Any tip?

Hi @Alfredo Maranca 

 

Sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you had.

This feedback window, "Help improve Adobe products," should be one-time suggestion. If  you continue to receive this pop-up, then try this:

Navigate to Acrobat>Edit (Ctrls+K)> Preferences> General> Message from/to Adobe> Show me a message when I launch Adobe Acrobat (uncheck) or select Never "Send crash reports.">ok

 

 

Hope this works.

 

Thanks,

Akanchha

I have the same problem. Every time I close adobe pro i get the same message asking me to rate it. Whether I do or not it still does the same. I have tried your suggested fix and it doesn't work. I assume you keep these ratings, so you must be able to see how many times I rate it. It's incredibly annoying and you need to fix.

Hi 

 

Sorry for the troubled experience. And thanks for reaching out. 
Please try uninstalling Acrobat using the cleaner tool: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html;

Please restart the machine once the uninstallation is over, and then try installing Acrobat. This seems to be a machine-specific issue; we are not aware of this issue at our end. The thread you replied to is almost two years old. 

 

Let us know how it works.

Best regards,
