How to Stop Adobe Acrobat Screenshot Notifications on Xiaomi Poco F6
Question details
The user wants to stop Adobe Acrobat from sending notifications or automatically opening files immediately after capturing a screenshot on a Xiaomi Poco F6.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Device & OS
- Xiaomi Poco F6
- Scenario
- Taking a standard or long screenshot on the device while Adobe Acrobat is incorrectly configured to handle image files.
- Observed behavior
- Adobe Acrobat intercepts the screenshot action, displaying an unwanted notification or opening the image, which can also prevent the user from taking scrolling long screenshots.
Ensure you know your device's settings layout, as Xiaomi Poco F6 uses MIUI or HyperOS, and unlocking your phone is required to access the application manager.
Clear Default App Settings for Adobe Acrobat
Remove Adobe Acrobat's permission to automatically handle image files, restoring the default screenshot behavior on your device.
When an app like Adobe Acrobat is accidentally set as the default viewer for screenshots (usually PNG or JPG files), the Android system forces it to react every time a screenshot is saved. Clearing this default setting will stop the app from intercepting your screenshots without affecting its ability to open PDF documents.
Unlock your Xiaomi Poco F6 and tap the 'Settings' gear icon located on your home screen or in the app drawer.
Scroll down the settings menu, tap on 'Apps', and then select 'Manage apps' to view all installed applications.
Use the search bar at the top to type 'Adobe Acrobat' and select it from the list to open the App Info page.
Scroll to the bottom of the App Info page, find the 'Clear defaults' option, and tap it to reset the application's file associations.
Restart your phone, then take a new screenshot. The Adobe Acrobat notification should no longer appear, allowing you to view images natively.
Switch to WPS Office for a Seamless Document Experience
Tired of heavy PDF apps interfering with your phone's basic features? WPS Office offers a lightweight, all-in-one alternative for reading and editing PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations. It respects your device's native settings without hijacking your screenshot notifications.
- 1. Install WPS Office: Download and install WPS Office for free from the Google Play Store on your Xiaomi device.
- 2. Open a PDF: Navigate to your file manager and tap on any PDF document you wish to view.
- 3. Set as Default PDF Reader: When prompted by Android, select 'WPS Office' and tap 'Always' to set it as your preferred app exclusively for documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Adobe Acrobat automatically open my screenshots?
This happens when you accidentally tap 'Always' instead of 'Just once' when opening an image file for the first time, causing the Android system to set Adobe Acrobat as the default handler for all image formats (like JPG or PNG) generated by your screenshot tool.
Will clearing default app settings delete my PDFs?
No. Clearing default settings only removes the phone's instructions on which app to automatically use for certain file types. Your PDF files, images, and the app itself will remain entirely safe and untouched.
How do I set my Gallery as the default app for screenshots again?
After clearing the defaults from Adobe Acrobat, take a new screenshot and tap its thumbnail to open it. Your Poco F6 will ask you which app to use. Select your native 'Gallery' app and choose 'Always' to re-establish it as the default viewer.
Why couldn't I take a long screenshot on my Poco F6?
The MIUI/HyperOS long screenshot feature requires the native system to process the scrolling capture. When a third-party app like Adobe Acrobat intercepts the initial screenshot image file, it interrupts the system's scroll capture process, causing the long screenshot attempt to fail.
