Hello, is it possible to remotely disable the AI Assistant on all installations of Acrobat (Pro and Reader) in the Organization so that end users cannot access this feature?

Thank you

Hi @Marco5E4C,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

 

You can roll it out in an active directory by creating a GPO to add the below registry key, and run gpupdate /force on the user machines.

 

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown

create new D Word key: bEnableGentech

value: 0

Setting the value to 1 will enable generative AI features.

 

 

If you are solely using Intunes for device management, you can disable it via a remediation with two scripts.

 

Detection:

$path = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown"
$name = "bEnableGentech"
$type = "DWORD"
$value = 0

Try {
    $Registry = Get-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name $Name -ErrorAction Stop | Select-Object -ExpandProperty $Name
    If ($Registry -eq $Value){
        Write-Output "Compliant"
        Exit 0
    } 
    else {
    Write-Warning "Not Compliant"
    Exit 1
    }
} 
Catch {
    Write-Warning "Not Compliant"
    Exit 1
}

 

Remediation:

#Fileext
$regkey="HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown"
$name="bEnableGentech"
$value=0

#Registry Template
If (!(Test-Path $regkey))
{
    New-Item -Path $regkey -ErrorAction stop
}

if (!(Get-ItemProperty -Path $regkey -Name $name -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{
    New-ItemProperty -Path $regkey -Name $name -Value $value -PropertyType DWORD -ErrorAction stop
    write-output "remediation complete"
    exit 0
}

set-ItemProperty -Path $regkey -Name $name -Value $value -ErrorAction stop
write-output "remediation complete"
exit 0

Note: Before running the script, please read and validate on your end.

Hello,

I applied this, but the AI feature is still available on Acrobat and Reader.  Is there a different for 64-bit installations?
