How to disable "Edit PDF" Popup

Everytime I try to view a PDF that I've scanned I get a popup asking to add "Edit PDF."

No matter what I click on it keeps on coming back up.

I've tried shutting down the program and restarting the computer as well.

How do I disable this popup?

It seems that your last reply to Adobe Reader fixed the issue.

A document needs to be opened in Adobe Reader in order for Adobe Reader to recognize that that box has been closed and doesn't need to pop up anymore.

Afterward any viewing of PDFs outside of Adobe Reader won't receive that popup.

Hello Scyntre,

Sorry for the issue. Please share some details here:

Are you on MAC and trying to view PDF in Safari? Can you please confirm the version of the Reader you are on? Also, you said that it only comes when you view the scanned PDF. Have you tried any other non-scanned PDF file and does it throw the issue?

Thanks,

Anurag
