How to stop Adobe Acrobat from Automatically Opening Downloaded PDF Files?

[John37032664ppwp]

Hi Everyone,

I am currently Downloading PDF Files from my Gmail account to my Desktop.

Up until today, I was able to Download these files no problem.

Today however, everytime that a PDF Files completes downloading from Gmail to my Desktop, Adobe Acrobat Automatically Opens the file on my Computer.

This is Driving me MAD!

Is there any way to stop this from happening?

I've attached a file that I got from a Reddit post - where other people were having this issue.

It seems that in the past, that there was a check-box option in Acrobat Reader under Edit -> Preferences -> General  to turn off this annoying features. But this option is missing on my Acrobat Reader.

For users who use new Version of adobe (2024)
the feature is hidden in the Preferences tab in adobe
1.Select your profile on the right upper side 
2.select preferences
3.select General
4.uncheck the option Open PDFs Automatically when downloaded from chrome browser (something Like that)

and Done

Hallo,

Ik heb de optie "PDF's automatisch openen bij downloaden van de Chrome-browser" binnen adobe acrobat reader wel kunnen vinden, maar in de PRO versie kan ik deze niet vinden. Ik heb versie 2024.003.20054.

Kan iemand mij helpen deze optie te vinden in Adobe Acrobat PRO
