Why does my Adobe Acrobat take up so much space

[Markfishpickart]

I was doing some system cleanup and noticed acrobat is over 6 gigs! That seems crazy to me. Anyone else experiencing this?

Open your Acrobat.   Go to File/Preferences/Updater.  Uncheck "Automatically Install Updates".

Periodically, uninstall and reinstall. I think mine was up to 8 GB at one time and then went down to 2 GB. 

WARNING: Do do this if you have an old stand-alone version or do not have an installer. You may not get it working again.
