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.2024-02-03 14_04_40-pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro (64-bit).png

I've never tried Bluebeam, but it looks interesting. How are its accessibility features?

Good Day All

I have been trying to research on how to do this. I think I have found the solution to these annyoning popups.

Try this: go to main MENU, PRFERENCES, GENERAL and de-select the "SHOW QUICK ACTIONS ON TEXT SELECTION". This works on both the old and new versions. I hope these are the annyoing popups that everyone is referring to. I tried both the old and new apps and no popups appear on editing or inserting an image. I hope this helps.

Preferences | Accessibility | Uncheck "Enable assistive technology support" worked for me to turn off those annoying blue "assistive" popups on how to use Acrobat such as "Request E-signatures" EVERY time I open a file.  I had already turned off the "Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat", which did not get rid of these blue pop-ups but this did.

Mind-bogglingly ridiculous. Even if there is a solution that works for some, why do we all have to search for it?

Did anyone find a fix for this? I unchecked everything I could think of and I'm still having the messages all over the place.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Adobe, when will you actually listen to your users?

This problem persists.

It is a hindrence to productivity and you need to provide a setting to turn it all off.

Any software updates should remember the setting.

Many of us are users of Acrobat for years and don't need a pop up telling us how to tie our shoe laces.

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the trouble caused.

 

Please let us know the pop-ups that you are referring to. It would be helpful if you could share the screenshot. 

We will check with the team if we can disable those.

All of the pop-ups that were adding in the latest rev are annoying and
useless.

Good Day

The pop ups that I am referring to are when EDITING or ADDING an image and these were popping up and interfering with the images and text. I managed to disable those. But the other pop-ups are built in the programme somehow as there are no pop-up options to choose from to switch these off.

Hi @Lara Vandelli,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with using Acrobat.

 

You might want to try the steps below:

1. Go to Start > Registry Editor;

2. Go to Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\AVGeneral

3. Create a DWord: bInfobubble

4. Set the Value: 0

 

More info here: https://adobe.ly/45GRLRO.

 

Note: Please close Acrobat and terminate any task from Task Manager before following the step.

 

Hope this helps.


Regards,
Souvik.

Deleting Adobe and Cancelling My Plan Because of this. Every Document that I open asks me if I'd like to fix typo's. What a literal nightmare. Such a joke.
