Big Blue Annoying Hints

Hi

 

How can I turn off these unhelpful, annoying "tips" in Adobe Acrobat Pro Continuous Release 2023.003.202.44 so that I never see them again?

Same issue for me, since at least 2020. No way to permanantly turn them off, nor admission from Adobe that it is not possible to turn them off.

Hi @D4v3,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

 

There are feature lockdown settings I could find to disable tips within Acrobat:

For Windows- Lockable Settings (https://adobe.ly/47IEffH)

For Mac- Lockable Settings (https://adobe.ly/47IEffH)

 

For Windows, the locations shared in the link should be available within the Windows Registry.

For Mac, please read this article carefully for a better understanding: Pre-deployment configuration (Advanced) — Acrobat Administration Guide for Macintosh (https://adobe.ly/47IEffH)

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @S. S thanks for your reply. I have had a look through the article and link you sent, but I have been unable to implement any change as I have been unable to locate/ create the required .plist file on my iMac (Monterey). Are you able to provide any further assistance as I would really like these blue pop ups gone for good.

Thank you for your reply @Joel Geraci .

 

I turned off the checkbox even though I was getting the "after editing" alert every time I edited, not when I launched Acrobat.

 

 

Because this  said "when I launch", I quit and relaunched Acrobat. It put me into the "new experience", which I quickly turned off.

 

 

I immediately got another Unwanted Big Blue Alert, even though the checkbox was off.

 

I'll experiment more tomorrow.

 

Jane
