Prevent from installing Adobe Acrobat Synchronizer (AdobeCollabSync.exe)

Explorer ,
Oct 03, 2025 Oct 03, 2025

Hello!

 

Is there any way to prevent from installing Adobe Acrobat Synchronizer, which is added to the startup after each program update?

 

Adobe Acrobat Synchronizer
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\AdobeCollabSync.exe

 

Мaybe there is some kind of installation key that cancels the installation of this component?

 

For example, like these installation keys:

/msi EULA_ACCEPT=YES ENABLE_OPTIMIZATION=0 DISABLEDESKTOPSHORTCUT=1

 

I would be grateful for your help.

Dmitry.

Hello Meenakshi,

 

Unfortunately, I have this parameter present in the registry, but after each update of the program, Adobe Acrobat Synchronizer appears in the startup. From this, I can conclude that the bNeedSynchronizer parameter is simply not working.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\Workflows]
"bNeedSynchronizer"=dword:00000000

 It would be better if there was some kind of installation key, canceling the installation AdobeCollabSync.exe if users do not need to synchronize with the cloud in the free version of the program.

 

Thanks,

Dmitry.
