Opening Acrobat Reader forcing me to sign in to Acrobat?

Stop this!

Cannot use Acrobat Reader.  Is it not free any more?

Having to force quit and use preview instead.

Uninstalling Acrobat Reader.

Wasting my time.

Sorry to read this,

have you created a free account with Adobe, no cost attached, no purchase needed?

[Steven33716140yh0n]

I have an Adobe account, I have a subscription to Adobe but it is really, really .... annoying when it asks me to sign in every time I open a PDF via Reader or Acrobat.  It is very intrusive and wasting a lot of my time.

It is equally frustrating that the software has to be force quit to stop it asking.  We have no choice but to log in or crash out.

Surely I shouldn't need to sign in every time open a PDF?!!!

Acrobat reader has always been free. Why do I suddenly need to sign in at all to use the free edition?
