Feature Request: Option to Permanently Disable AI Assistant

Dear Adobe Product Manager,

I would like to submit a feature request regarding the AI Assistant feature in Adobe Acrobat.

While I appreciate the innovation, I prefer not to use AI features in my daily workflow. The "Ask AI Assistant" prompt occupies valuable screen space and can be distracting, especially when working with documents for extended periods.

I kindly request that Adobe provide users with an option to permanently disable or hide the AI Assistant interface, including preventing it from reappearing after application updates or restarts. This setting should be easy to find and remain persistent unless the user chooses to enable the feature again.

Giving users greater control over the interface would significantly improve the experience for those who prefer a clean, distraction-free workspace.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I hope Adobe will include this option in a future release.

    Is there a way to turn this off in the Admin Portal? or through a registry key and not require individual users to turn it off?
