Missing Setting In Acrobat Pro

New Here ,
Mar 11, 2025 Mar 11, 2025

There seems to be a setting missing in Acrobat Pro that is present in Acrobat Reader. One of my users used to have their Adobe automatically open files after they downloaded them from a website we use. No, using adobe pro on a new computer, the process he was used to no longer works. Looking through the settings in Acrobat Reader vs Acrobat Pro there is a missing setting when using the pro version. the missing setting is in the screenshot BelowAdobe Setting.jpg

I suppose it's because Acrobat Pro users don't like their PDFs to open automatically in a spyware.
Otherwise, in all web browsers there's a setting to configure which software should open, automatically or not, downloaded files.
With Firefox and Edge, opening PDFs in Acrobat works just fine.

Hello!

 

I hope you are doing well.

 

As our community product experts correctly shared, the feature is not available in the paid version of Acrobat. If you wish to raise/file a feature request, you can use the URL to do so. As the expert highlighted, if you wish to change the opening or downloading of the files automatically, you need to change the browser settings. See these article for more information: https://adobe.ly/4lbbdeR

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
