Keep getting Full Screen mode prompt every time I open a new PDF file.

Question

Since the Sept 2023 update, every time I open an Acrobat file, it gives me the following prompt, asking if I want to put it in Full Screen mode - which I never want to do. I have to check "Remember my choice for this document" and then "No" every single time. This is really frustrating because I typically have to re-export and save new pdfs multiple times (graphic design related) so remembering my choice for a pdf doesn't really work for me, as I typically have to overwrite the pdf multiple times.

Is there any way to make it so Acrobat stops asking me if I want to go full screen for every document? It's really frustrating. I've tried Preferences, General, Reset All Warnings, same with unchecking the options at the top of Preferences, Full Screen menu. Nothing has worked.

Then you'll have to disable it for each file, under File - Properties - Initial View.

I have the same issue, super annoying. WIndows 11, newest Acrobat DC. I deal with a lot of single-use PDFs from this one specific client, and the only choices Acrobat gives me is to A) Automatically open the document in full screen or B) Bother with the pop-up every time I open a document. Who at Adobe decided I wouldn't want them minimised? Please fix!
