How to hide the signature bar at the top of the document view window?

That bar, that never disappears, keeps reminding you about the signature of the document.
I don't need that, it distracts me and it occupies space, how to hide it?
I need to see the documents, not notification bars that can't be hidden.
It's crazy how there is no simple way to remove all the useless tools and infographics when trying to read a simple pdf. 

Thanks for any help.

@matteo_8036  dang?! I don't have that bar! You can try in the 'Preferences?' To disable the automatic verification of signatures. Go to Edit > Preferences > Signatures and then click on More next to "Verification." Then un-tick the box that says "Verify signatures when the document is opened." 


But, I also have my version of Acrobat with the 'Disable New Acrobat' as well. This screenshot shows, it is Disabled.
