How to turn off "Ask AI Assistant" box at bottom of window

[Nicholas K]

This "Ask AI Assistant" box has started popping up at the bottom of the window when viewing a PDF. It has an option to "hide for this session" but how do I turn off permanently? It's just another annoying dialog box filling up my viewing screen

Bob, I don't know if this helps or not but I reverted back to the 64-bit version and while it's still not ideal, I don't have to see all the AI and suggestions. Until Adobe accepts the fact that no one really wants their AI offerings, I'm sticking with this version. Based on everything I've seen it appears they're unwilling to listen to anyone and keep pushing.

Yes, that DOES help and I am very inclined to do it. I just got the new version last month when I purchased a new laptop. I find the new interface overpowering--all of the things I don't want take up more space than ever (bigger buttons, more white space around the button bars, bars across the top/side/bottom), leaving even less room for the workspace for which I am actually there. And this problem is compounded for me because my new laptop is SMALLER than my previous one, so I need that workspace more now than ever.

Now I just need to figure out how to get the 64-bit version on this new laptop...

How do you revert back to the 64-bit version?

Hello @David_M2121

You can directly download the 64-bit installer from Adobe’s official page: Download Acrobat 64-bit for Windows. For Mac: Download the Adobe Acrobat Unified App for macOS.

Please note: Use the Acrobat Cleaner tool to remove the currently installed Acrobat app, and restart the machine.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

Unchecking the Generative Ai features do absolutley nothing. Every time I uncheck them and close the application, when I open it they are back again. What a POS

I’m running into an issue with the new “Ask AI Assistant” box that pops up whenever I open a PDF. It has a small option to “hide for this session”, but that only lasts until I close/re-open the file.

I’d really like to disable this permanently — not just hide it temporarily. At the moment it’s just another intrusive dialog taking up part of the viewing area.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to turn this off completely in settings, registry, or preferences? Or is Adobe (or whichever app this is bundled with) planning to add a “never show again” toggle?

Nothing has worked to date and the developers seem unwilling to give users the option to opt out. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
