Question

Cannot turn off AI Assistant

Cannot turn off AI Assistant. The instructions I found say to do it in Preferences > Generative AI. However, I don't have this option in Preferences. Yes, I gave the latest version of Acrobat Reader.

So, the question remains: how can I turn off AI Assistant?

Hi @timofej,

 

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

 

Are you using an IT provided or Enterprise account? I wasn't able to trace the subscription on the email address registered on the community.

One thing that I would like to know if whether you are logged in to the application. If not, please sign in and check if you are able to see the preferences.

 

Also, if you are on an Enterprise license, I would suggest checking on with your IT team whether they have disabled the option from the backend. 

 

Look forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you for the fast reply, Souvik!

     

    I've installed the software myself after downloading it from you website. So, this is neither IT provided nor Enterprise version. I've signed in to the application but the Preferences options have not changed.

    @timofej, Sorry for the trouble. 

     

    I have shared this with the dev team for further solutions.

    You might want to try disabling the feature from the registry of your device till I get a response from the team.

    More steps here: Lockable Settings (adobe.com)

     

    Also, for the tools panel, you can save the last view settings of your document by going to Preferences-> Documents-> check the option "Restore last view settings when reopening documents."

    [added screenshot for reference]

     

    Once done, close the tool pane when viewing the document and close Acrobat.

     

    The next time you launch a PDF in Acrobat, the tools panel should be closed.

     

    Let me know if this helps.

    Thank you for your help, Souvik!

     

    The AI button is gone after I've edited the Registry. However, All tools panel is still there each time I open a document, even if I've checked for "Restore last view..."

     

    As well as the Comments panel to the right, that I don't want to get opened either.
