Hi. After updating Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to version 21.001.20135, an ad banner appeared at the top right panel. How can I remove it? Is there ane reg tweak?

Hi Matvey, thanks for your post. Can you please let us know why would you like to remove the ad banner?

Because I don't need pro version features.

Hi Matvey, the banner can be removed by setting the following registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\Trunk\FeatureLockDown]
"bEnablePersistentButton"=dword:00000000

Hi gauranja,

thanks a lot it works. Only come back when I make a upgrade. With a new Installation the reg works.
