How to Stop Adobe from Asking for Adobe ID Every Time a PDF Opens

When entering your Adobe ID in the login prompt, look closely for a "Stay signed in" or "Keep me signed in" checkbox. Ensure this is selected before you submit your password.

If you use third-party system optimization or disk cleanup tools (like CCleaner), check their settings. Ensure they are not configured to automatically clear Adobe application data, cache, or cookies.

Open Adobe Acrobat or Reader. Go to the "Help" menu at the top of the window and select "Sign Out". Close the application entirely.

Reopen the software, navigate to "Help", and click "Check for Updates". Follow the on-screen prompts to install any available updates.

Click "Sign In" in the top right corner. Enter your credentials, make sure you opt to stay signed in, and verify if the issue persists when opening subsequent files.

Open your antivirus or firewall settings and add Adobe Acrobat or Reader to the trusted applications list. This ensures it has the necessary permissions to write session data to your hard drive.

If you are using a company-managed computer, contact your IT department. Ask them to check if a group policy is enforcing credential clearing upon exiting applications for security purposes.
