Since about a year Acrobat Reader always opens a loop of about 10 empty popups when a pdf document is opened.

This is absolutely annoying and I would like to dispose this reader and replace it by an other program, if Adobe don't solves this problem.

The only way to get rid of it is to log off from Adobe cloud but this can't be serious the solution.

All the colleagues in my company, who haves Adobe accounts, have the same problem.

Until now I could bnot find

Hi there,

Hope you are doing well and sorry to keep you waiting.

This issue has been fixed with the April release for Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC ver. 22.1.20117 (Win) and the fix will be enabled via a registry key

Please update the application to the recent version 22.1.20117 (Win), from the help menu > check for updates or you may also download the patch manually from the link https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/index.html and you may reboot the computer once and use the registry key as below:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown
iReaderSSONGLSignIn = 1 (DWORD)

Note: As a side effect of this fix, the user will not be able to sign in to Reader from the sign-in button.

Hi Amal,

the update itself did not solve the problem and making changes in the windows registry is not recommended/advisible for company installtions because the login should go on working with the Adobe Cloud and CS applications and we must avoid side effects - such a registry hack workaround shutting of the login feature would not solve the problems but create new ones.

A login feature for Reader DC should be optional but never forced over a loop of login screens.

Kind regards

Hi Amal,

I just installed the patch from your link and restarted the computer.

Unfortunately the patch did not solve the problem that occurs in the same way as before.
