How do I stop Acrobat from displaying these annoying and instrusive banners whenever I open Acrobat on my Mac?

I feel like I'm running crappy adware…

You can remove 'Get Inspired..' via Preferences / Generative Ai > Untick Show Ai Video cards

 In continuous release version 2025.001.20756 there does not appear to be a preferences entry for Generative AI.  However, while looking for that (again) I did find a way to get rid of this visual pollution.  In Menu, under View, select "Disable new Acrobat".  Et viola!

Our Acrobat was installer was modifed by the Customizarion Wizard.  Our IT department may have removed the Generative AI options in the app.  Regardless, disabling  "New Acrobat" does the trick, as long as you won't miss any of the other features.

I am paying for Adobe Acrobat; but it feels like it is finaced by advertisements. I have never seen so many annoying popups.

I have this request too.  I would really like to disable the "Get inspired by curated PDF Spaces" banner.  It smacks of MS putting Solitaire on enterprise licensed Windows 11.

Hi rcostain,

 

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

 

There is no default option in Acrobat to remove these banners. We will check with the team to see if they can be removed and share the correct information.

We appreciate your response.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi
