How to stop the windows which open permanently while you start the Adobe Reader

[antons47532193]

When I start the Adobe Reader, this window opens and wants me to create an Account. But I already created an Account and don't want to close the advertisment every time I start the Reader.

After I closed the window another appeares:

It asks me always the same: Do you want to read the whole document or just one page. But I don't want to decide it for the same document again and again when I open it and this for each document. Is it possible to stop these windows appearing?

Thanks for your help

Anton

Hello Anton,

We're sorry for the trouble you had, the first screen is the First Time Experience (FTE) screen which displays help content and tips when the application is started.

You can disable the screen permanently through the registry settings. Assuming you are using a Windows machine, to disable the FTE, set the registry value:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown]

"bToggleFTE"=dword:00000001

Open registry through Run command i.e. type regedit in Run and click ok.

1. Navigate to the Registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown.

2. Highlight FeatureLockDown.

3. In the right window, right click in the Blank space and choose New > DWORD (32 bit) Value.

4. Enter the value bToggleFTE

5. Highlight the Registry value i.e. bToggleFTE > Right click and choose Modify.

6. Enter Value Data as 1 and click Ok.

Reboot the computer and launch the Reader.

For the second screen, Go to Edit > Preferences > Reading.

Under "Screen Reader Options" select "Only read the currently visible pages".

Click Ok, reboot the machine and check.

let us know how it goes and share your observation.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
