How do I turn off the "Generative summary" banner in Acrobat Reader mobile?

New Here ,
Feb 15, 2025 Feb 15, 2025

I use Acrobat Reader for iOS, and I develop/publish mobile-friendly ebooks in PDF format. Lately, this "Generative summary" banner occupies prime screen space atop every page. Both in standard reading mode (no problem) AND in immersive reading mode (problem).

 

I have gone into User -> Settings -> Enable generative AI features in Acrobat and turned the slider to OFF.

 

It's still there.

 

Again, no problem if the banner is there in standard view mode, alongside other tools such as highlight, markup, and find text. But in immersive reader mode, I don't think there should be ANY interface buttons or tools. How do I get rid of this for myself, and can I tag our PDF ebooks so that this banner is default-off for our customers when they read our stories and comics?

Click on the Profile - Preferences - Generative AI - Uncheck the boxes for Enable gereative AI features in Acrobat and Show AI Summary Bar on top of the document

 

This worked for me to clear all of the Generative AI Summary banners that I was seeing every time I opened a new pdf.

I still have this issue on my desktop computer. I have done everything the internet and adobe suggest. I have turned off Generative AI so many times in so many places, I have updated to the newest Adobe. Yet I still get this stupid banner every time I open a pdf and with my job thats at least 1,000+ times daily. PLEASE 🙏🙏 make this stupid banner go away!!

For good. Everywhere.

Har artist ka sapna hota hai ke uski creations duniya dekhe, pasand kare – aur jab aap Adobe Contributor bante hain, to yeh sapna ek haqeeqat ban sakta hai. Chahe aap photographer hain, graphic designer, ya illustrator – Adobe Stock par apna kaam share karna na sirf aapki creativity ko global manzar par laata hai, balkay aap is se earning bhi kar sakte hain.

Main ne bhi yehi socha: "Kyun na apna fun dunia se share karun?" Aur yeh safar shuru ho gaya. Ab har image, har design aik naya mauqa hai – seekhnay ka, kamane ka, aur grow karne ka.

Agar aap bhi creative hain, to rukna kyu? Adobe Contributor banein aur apni dunia ko roshan karein!

I keep seeing references to some magic "Generative AI" option in my preferences. It's not there, and because it's not there, I can't disable it. Every time I open a document, even the same one, I'm prompted. I'm reading technical manuals and I don't want a summary.

+1 for this. Using v25.08.50 and it's still not fixed. There's no option to turn it off. We don't want all this stupid AI crap.

Dummies feature ever- if you were to add a feature, add it properly. Don't push a bug to your product. So annoying! Desktop version too!!!
