Disable Generative AI Features in Adobe Acrobat Settings
The most direct way to stop the AI Assistant from appearing is to turn off Generative AI in the app's internal preferences.
Adobe allows users to manage their Generative AI preferences directly within the mobile application settings. Disabling this option will prevent the AI Assistant from analyzing your documents and popping up during your workflow.
Launch the Adobe Acrobat app on your phone and tap on your profile icon located in the top corner of the screen.
Scroll through the menu options and select 'Preferences' or 'App Settings'.
Look for a section or toggle labeled 'Generative AI', 'AI Assistant', or similar, and switch the toggle to the 'Off' position.
Update, Reinstall, or Seek Adobe Support
If the disable toggle is missing, updating the app or reaching out to support may be necessary.
Try WPS Office for a Distraction-Free PDF Experience

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the Adobe AI Assistant appear on my phone?
Adobe recently integrated its Generative AI Assistant into the Acrobat mobile app. This feature was often enabled automatically via an app update to introduce users to new document summarization and query capabilities.
Can I permanently delete the AI Assistant from Adobe Acrobat?
You cannot completely remove or delete the AI Assistant code from the app, as it is built into the software. However, you can usually disable its functionality by turning off the Generative AI feature in the app's settings.
Is my document data being sent to Adobe's AI servers?
When the AI Assistant is active and you use it to interact with a document, the specific file may be processed by Adobe's servers to generate summaries or answer questions. Disabling the AI feature prevents this processing.
