Hi,

 

Use this thread as a reference : https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader/disable-quot-work-on-the-go-with-the-adobe-acrobat-rea...

 

And use the Enterprise Toolkit Windows Registry Reference as an official guidance to make sure you don't break something: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Windows/FeatureLockdown.html

Which specific registry key disables the "Go Mobile" on Acrobat DC?  I've tried many but none work.

Hello,

Actually there are three layers of banners which need to be disabled

 

1. "Go mobile with your PDF's"

Can be disabled as followed:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\HomeWelcomeFirstMile\bEnableFirstMile (DWORD 32bit) set to 0

 

2. "Work on the go with the Adobe Acrobat Reader app. (...)"

Can be disabled as followed:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\Workflows\cServices\cAcrobatApp\
bAcrobatAppInstalled (DWORD 32bit) set to 1


3. "Scan business cards, receipts, notes, (...)"

can be disabled as followed:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\Workflows\cServices\cScanApp\bScanAppInstalled (DWORD 32bit) set to 1

 

Works for Acrobat DC as well, you just need to adapt and create the entries in the hive of Acrobat DC under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\(...)

On my machine the Key "Workflows" was not existing and therefore had to be created including the sub-keys, which contain the DWORDs

4 years later and your info is still gold!
How did you figure this out? This is nowhere documented by Adobe. Even with processmonitor I couldn't figure out which values in the register were modified. Certainly not the values that you provided..

 

Thanks!!!
