How can Turn off the 'AI Assistant'?

Report · Jul 16, 2024

How can I get rid of the horrible 'AI Assisitant' ? I hate, hate, hate, hate eeverything about it. I hate the popups that constantly get in my way every time I open a new PDF, I hate the way it dramatically slows down the application every time I want to just search for something, and I hate that way that it doesn't work at all or provide any value of any form. I just want it gone and never, ever, ever, ever, under any circumstances want it to be there getting in the way of every simple thing I want to do. Please, please, please, please: how can I make it just go away? I just want to open and look at a PDF for heavens sake, I don't need any of this AI nonsense.

Hi all,

Your feedback matters—and we’ve listened.

We understand that not everyone requires AI assistance in their workflow. Many of you shared concerns about intrusive prompts and lack of control, and we’ve taken action.

Now, Acrobat gives you complete control over AI features through Preferences. You decide what stays on and what turns off—no enforcement, no surprises — just flexibility.

For more information on preferences, please check this out: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/we-heard-you-full-control-over-ai-features-in-acr...

Best regards,
Tariq | Adobe Community Team

Not really. Adobe employees have to phrase things very carefully.

For example, he can't say your post was rude and uncalled for. I can.
