Outlook keeps showing the message "Open PDFs in Adobe Acrobat" hovering whenever I get PDF attachmen

[Zeev5C97]

Whenever I look at an email that has PDF attachments, outlook pops up a small window with the message "Open PDFs in Adobe Acrobat" (see attached screenshot) hovering over and hiding a small portion of the email, and I have to click the small "x" to close it each time - which is a bit annoying. Any way to stop this small window from appearing every time? (without removing the plugin).

Hi @BondG,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for sharing the topic.

The option discussed above is the Adobe Document Cloud Add-in, which pops up on every PDF attachment.

You can disable the add-in from the Options section-> Add-ins of Outlook's File Tab. [Screenshot attached for reference]

Hope this helps.

I had the same issue.  Realizing it's an Adobe Add-In issue, I was able to remove this annoying thing.

How I did it: 

I opened Outlook > File > Options > Add-Ins > Manage [COM Add-ins], Click GO. 

Then I unchecked both Add-ins:  1) Acrobat PDF Maker Office COM Addin and

2) Adobe Document Cloud for Microsoft Outlook - Acrobat.  

Clicked OK. 

Annoying menu bar is gone. 🙂

Click "New Email" (in Outlook). In the ribbon, select the Acrobat tab. Click the "Settings" icon. In the first section, "Prompt while attaching", click "Never prompt while attaching" button. Click "OK".

You can remove this message by going to Start, click or searching for Control Panel. Click on Uninstall a Program and click on all items labeled Adobe and then clicking on Uninstall.

You have most like been infected by an Adobe virus. You can use a safe tool like Microsft Edge to manage PDF documents safely.
