Reader DC - Disable Home screen Welcome to Acrobat Reader DC!

[Guest]

Is there a way to disable Recommended tools for you and Always open PDF's in Acrobat reader tiles on Home tab in Reader DC 19? I have tried using FTEDialog, bShowWelcomeScreen, bHideUnreadMsgAtLaunch, and bUsageMeasurement but nothing has worked.

Hi,

Thanks for raising your consern here.

You can always minimize this section. Using three dots on the top of cards/tiles choose to Collapse All.

Do let me know if this is helpful.

Thanks,

I have the same issue but still no resolution.  I already have a 'Tools' Tab for my users so, is there a way to remove the Tool Suggestions listed at the top of the recent files pane?

Charu - thank you for your suggestion but I'd like to just hide these.  As I mentioned, I have a Tools tab for my users to access the tools so I don't want these to appear at all.

You are an Adobe Employee so, can you tell me how to completely hide this?

No, apparently Adobe cannot do that, even though it should be simple.

It is 2020, and Adobe's official answer is "train each user to do it manually".

I don't want to minimize it, I want to remove it!!! I DON'T NEED IT!!!

Since Reader is free, you'll have to deal with it. It's for Adobe's marketing of those features.

Are you sure Acrobat Pro is free? Are you REALLY sure?

Sorry, this thread is for Reader, I overlooked it. But I can't get rid of it even if I pay.
