bAcroSuppressUpsell not working in DC 2017

Hi all,

I'm locking down Adobe Reader DC 2017 Classic Track, everything is going to plan, I've blocked the updater, all web services, the problem i'm having is that "bAcroSuppressUpsell" doesn't seem to block Adobe Reader advertising the mobile app.

Any ideas?

The registry setting I have set to date are:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\2017\FeatureLockDown]

"bSuppressSignOut"=dword:00000001

"bToggleFTE"=dword:00000001

"bToggleShareFeedback"=dword:00000000

"bAcroSuppressUpsell"=dword:00000001

"bShowAdsAllow"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\2017\FeatureLockDown\cServices]

"bUpdater"=dword:00000000

"bToggleFillSign"=dword:00000001

"bToggleAdobeDocumentServices"=dword:00000001

"bToggleAdobeSign"=dword:00000001

"bToggleSendAndTrack"=dword:00000001

"bTogglePrefsSync"=dword:00000001

"bToggleWebConnectors"=dword:00000001

"bAdobeSendPluginToggle"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\2017\FeatureLockDown\cWelcomeScreen]

"bShowWelcomeScreen"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\2017\Installer]

"ENABLE_CHROMEEXT"="1"

"Disable_Repair"="1"

It turns out that when you set the above mentioned key, that it resets itself after a while, to disable this functionality, you need to set the following keys

HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\2017\IPM\bDontShowMsgWhenViewingDoc: 1

HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\2017\IPM\bShowMsgAtLaunch: 0

Solved this, you need to add the following DWORD

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AVGeneral\bHideUnreadMsgAtLaunch with a value of 1
