How can you turn off these annoying pop-ups in Acrobat. Why did Adobe think this was a good idea? They are so distracting when I am working.

    PLEASE PLEASE help us find a way to turn off the very annoying popups tool tips! The suggested "Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat" was already unchecked.

      Same for me. That box is unchecked and I still get the stupid pop-up when I open a new PDF.
      I don't want Adobe's unhelpful spam pop-ups. PLEASE HELP TO TURN THEM OFF.

        I open Acrobat Pro to actually get work done. I instantly get interrupted by some annoying pop up - which I always cancel. It happens almost every time

        I find it very very irritating from a user persepctive. Perhaps you should rethink this as it doesn't serve the customer well at all.

            I get pop-ups like this every other day, while the messages in the settings are all turned off...

             


            NOTHING would make me happier than to learn how to turn these off. Does anyone know?

            Adobe, if you are listening, you know what would be a great new feature? The ability to turn off ALL in app notifications and suggestions.

              1. In Acrobat, open the Preferences (Edit > Preferences on Windows or Acrobat > Preferences on macOS).
              2. Go to the General pane.
              3. Disable the checkmark beside "Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat".

               

              They're called "In Product Messaging" with an internal process name of "upsell" alerts. If you're the administrator for your organization, you can disable them by looking for and enabling the bAcroSuppressUpsell flag. More info on locking down such features here: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Windows/FeatureLockDown.html
