Can someone please tell me how to turn off this stupid AI generated descriptions?

 

I've already switch off Generative A.I. features.

 

I don't need pointless descriptions of drawings please let me switch this off.

Any update on this? I also hate this intrusive feature.

Hi tshill,


Thank you for reaching out, and sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue.



Could you please provide more details about the description issue in the PDF? It would be helpful if you could share a short video demonstrating the problem and include the PDF as well. Also, please confirm if you created the file.


Thanks,

Meenakshi

Unfortunately, it’s a production file that is not cleared for public release yet, so I can’t share the file or images/video. But the appearance is just like that posted by keithm26524928 above. Most annoyingly, it appears when I try to hover over a comment so I can see what the comment says, obscuring the comment hover-preview.

I did not create the file.

Adobe needs to look at the PDF desktop application and the summary generations. They eat up too many resources and lock the system (windows) at times. We need to either get a buttton to activate the summaries or another option (AI On/Off Toggle) but they can't be automatic. I have two machines. One with 8GB ram (traveling) and my production machine w/128GB RAM. The 8GB dies or locks but the 128GB can run endless summaries quickly. 

 

Thanks,

Hi @keithm26524928 ,

 

Can you please tell:

1. Are you observing this on Acrobat desktop app or on Acrobat web?

2. Can you share the pdf?

3. Is this happening with all the files?

4. Are you observing this on hover ? Please explain the exact workflow.

 

Thanks
