How to turn off AI completely

[amy_0404]

I just want to get rid of the bubble at the bottom of my screen for the AI assitance. Can this be turned off so that I don't have to hide it each session? I hate that it's there and in the way. 

I understand that I can go to preferences and turn off the generative AI stuff. I tried that. it doesnt work, as it's already unchecked.

@amy_0404 Could you please update to the latest Acrobat version and try re-launching again.

@amy_0404 Could you please confirm what is the exact version of Acrobat you have?

For mac : Acrobat -> About Adobe Acrobat

For win: Hamburger Menu(top left) -> Help -> About Adobe Acrobat

The latest version with the fix for above issue is being rolled out you will get the update in a few days or you can manually update to the latest version.

Revert to the Classic UI: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/acrobat-2023-how-to-revert-to-classic-gui-user-in...
And you will no longer see the AI assistant.

Thank you!   Who knows what I'm missing that might be nice/helpful  in the new Adobe by reverting to the classic AI but this suggestion is the only solution I've found that removes the flashy AI Assistant button on a Mac.  I believe it's appearance on the toolbar should be controllable via the Generative AI preferences settings.

How do I get that to work on my Android phone?

Absolutely this!!! I've no problem with new features such as AI, but having to turn off this for each PDF I open makes me resent any improvements that the AI may or may not provide.
