Why must I sign-in in order to print an Adobe Acrobat DC document?

[adobedcnewby]

All of a suddent Adobe requires me to sign-in to Adobe or Google or Apple in order to print an Adobe PDF document? When I select the Adobe PDF document to print it launches as normal and presents on the computer screen. Then a second dialogue box shows up and it is a requirement to sign-in to either Adobe or Google or Apple. Never seen this before. When I click out of the sign-in box it closes and then a moment later the Adobe PDF document that I intend to print also closes. I own this copy of Adobe Acrobat DC. How to solve this problem?

Do you have Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Reader? What exact version (like 2016.234.55667, not “latest” please)? Subscription or perpetual license (if paid)?

You have ALWAYS needed to be signed in to use a subscription to Acrobat Pro. This has not changed. You must enter the Adobe ID which you used for the subscription.  Make sure you do this, and don't sign out (unless you are leaving the computer for someone else to use of course).
