Hi everyone,
I'm looking to remove the "Work on the go with the Adobe Acrobat Reader app. Annotate, sign, and share PDFs on your phone, and edit on tablets." mobile device app advertisement when Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is installed and launched for the first time. I've ran the Acrobat Customization Wizard DC to see if there is any way to remove this, though I am not seeing any settings. I assume there is a registry DWORD value I can add to achieve this, though I unfortunately have not come across any information as of yet.
Thanks!

Although a bit late, but I have the answer for you.
I was asking for the same thing and after some scanning of the Registry I found the following key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AVGeneral]
"bHideUnreadHomeBannerMsgAtLaunch"=dword:00000001
If you add this key with the value of "1" then the "Work on the go" message disappears.
If you want to implement this key via the ACW DC then I would advise you to add this as a machine key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AVGeneral]
"bHideUnreadHomeBannerMsgAtLaunch"=dword:00000001

Hello there,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AVGeneral]
"bHideUnreadHomeBannerMsgAtLaunch" did not work for me.
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
