How to remove Acrobat from Edge?

[Caiopneg]

I've always opened PDFs through Edge, but recently I needed to install Adobe Acrobat to sign them with an A3 digital certificate.

The thing is, after I installed this damn program, it inserted some configuration into my Edge and every time I open a PDF, the Adobe logo and the "Edit with Acrobat" button (in Portuguese because I'm Brazilian) appear, as shown in the attachment. It didn't install any extensions in Edge, but these things still appear in it.

I've already uninstalled Acrobat from my PC, restored Edge's settings, and deleted cookies and cache, but nothing worked. Does anyone have a solution to recommend?

Hi @Caiopneg,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble.

You can trying using this link to get to the extensions page: edge://extensions/, and remove the Acrobat extension from your browser.

Let me know if this works for you.

Hi @Caiopneg,

Sorry for the delay.

The button you see is because of the ongoing partnership between Adobe and Microsoft, where Acrobat powers the PDF viewing experience in the Edge browser: Adobe and Microsoft Bring Industry-Leading Acrobat PDF Experience to 1.4 Billion Windows Users throu...

Please let me know if your PDF functionality is being affected beyond the appearance of the 'Edit with Acrobat' button at the top bar, and I will get this escalated to our Microsoft Partner team.

Thanks,

So it is not possible to remove the "edit with acrobat" button and the Acrobat logo from Microsoft Edge?

@Caiopneg This is more of a design change from Microsoft, and the best suggestion here would be to contact Microsoft support to suppress it from the backend.
