How to disable "To Do"?

[AdobeGetsWorseEveryYear]

How do I disable this terrible "feature"?  This document that I signed three years ago (in Adobe Reader I might add) has popped up in this new and useless "To Do" section and won't go away.

Also, does anyone have a suggestion for a good PDF reader?  Adobe Reader used to be great, but now it seems to do everything except open PDFs.

Hello there!

I am sorry for the trouble you had, the 'To Do Card' option is to check any pending workflows for PDF files like Review, views, and Sign.

You can disable the To Do card option through the registry settings, for detailed information, you may refer to the help article, look under Home Screen and Startup Lockable Settings

The registry path is HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown

Specifies whether to show To Do Cards in the Recent Tab view

When set to 1, To Do cards do not appear in the Recent tab. Possible values include:

    0 or null: Show cards for unaccepted workflows (reviews, views, and sign).

    1: Hide cards for unaccepted workflows (reviews, views, and sign).

Feel free to update this discussion if you have any further query.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
