Question

Can't turn off "Open all PDFs in Adobe Acrobat" pop-up on a Mac

Every time I open Adobe Acrobat application on my Mac, I get an annoying pop-up that takes over my screen in a very non-user-friendly fashion asking me to set the default application for PDFs. No matter how many times I click no it always pops up. How do I turn this pop-up off for good without using Adobe Acrobat as my default PDF application on my Mac? There must be a setting somewhere.

    Hi Josh30547982qfki,

     

    Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the trouble.

     

    Please try the following steps:

    - Launch Acrobat and go to Application Preferences.

    - Select General under the Categories tab.

    - Scroll down the right-hand window to the option "Messages from/ to Adobe".

    - Unmark the option " Shows me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat".

    - Click on the OK button at the bottom of the preferences window.

     

    Let us know if that helps.

     

    Thanks,

    Meenakshi
