Acrobat default opening of PDF files

Question

Greetings. I have an Adobe cloud subscription and understand when I download acrobat, it should install the version called for. I am thinking I should have the full version that used to have other names.

When I double click on a pdf in file manager which has an acrobat icon so is the default,, it opens but the interface is different and it starts doing an AI analysis of the document. Sometimes could be helpful but by default, I just want it to open so I can print immediately. Or another one to ask, get the toolbar and full interface back.

Is there a setting that allows this to happen?

Thanks,

BJBBJB1

Hi @BJBBJB1,

To disable processing of document for GenAI on every document open, you can switch off the following preferences

Open Menu (Windows) or View (macOS) > Preferences > Generative AI
Deselect the Show AI summary bar on top of the document checkbox and then select OK

Thanks,

Vinod

Hi BJBBJB1,

Thank you for reaching out.

It seems that you are referring to the new Acrobat version. If you are trying to turn off the AI Assistant feature, please use the steps suggested in the following help document: https://adobe.ly/403txO7.

If you want to get the old version of Acrobat, go to Menu > Disable New Acrobat in the application. You may also refer to the following help document to get familiar with the new version: https://adobe.ly/3FSqdyy.

Feel free to let us know if you are referring to something else or have any questions.

Thanks,

Meenakshi
