How to Disable "Do you need to fill in this form?" Fill & Sign Prompt Notification

Question

This blue box pops up every time I open a document, and the need to X out of it every time is intrusive to my workflow, it has no relevance to me whatsoever.

Please tell me there is a way to disable this notification? Thank you.

Thank you, Souvik. My apologies, I'm on a Mac, I should've clarified.

Is there a method for Mac, or maybe a checkbox hidden in preferences somewhere?

Hi @troyjack,

Sure. Below are the codes you can add through the terminal, which are alternatives to the Windows registry codes.

sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :FeatureLockDown:bEnableRCMNewPOPUp bool false" /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist

sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :FeatureLockDown:bEnableContextualTips bool false" /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist

sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :FeatureLockDown:bEnableContextualToolbar bool false" /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist

To add them, follow the steps:

Go > Utilities > Terminal > copy one line at a time.

Note: If you see any errors like "Entry already exists," change the word "Add" to "Set."

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Souvik.

Hi troyjack,

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

Please confirm if the pop-up appears every time you open the PDF form. Generally, these pop-ups appear a few times initially. Could you share the time frame since you received this pop-up?

We will check with the team if there is an option to turn off this pop-up.

Feel free to let us know if you need any help.

Thanks,

Meenakshi
