How

Whenever we open a new document in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, we find a Tools Pane popup every time to the right of the screen.It features a list of useful features like Protect, Fill & Sign, Comment etc., however, most of the features here will take you to the Adobe website for upgrading to the Pro Version. One of the main reasons why some people decide to get rid of Adobe Acrobat is that it bombards the screen with a dialogue box which includes the option to open the PDF document in a browser window. Users have to press the 'open' button, otherwise, the program will not allow them to view the file. Uninstall Acrobat DC on macOS using the Acrobat DC uninstaller Go to Finder Applications Adobe Acrobat DC, and double click the Acrobat Uninstaller. The uninstaller asks you to select the product. Select Adobe Acrobat and click Open.

You can cancel your trial or individual plan (purchased from Adobe) through your Adobe account page. Sign in to Select Manage plan or View plan for the plan you want to cancel. Under Plan information, select Cancel plan. Step 2: After moving the Adobe Acrobat Reader application file to Trash, there are still Adobe Acrobat Reader related cache data, app settings, and other 'Hidden' Adobe Acrobat Reader component files. To get rid of all these Adobe Acrobat Reader leftovers, you need to move further: Open Finder in Menu, click Go enter: /Library/.

And after removing the offending plugin for Safari, I always venture into Applications>Microsoft Office>Office>Startup and remove the Acrobat files from each of the Excel, Powerpoint, and Word folders.
That Acrobat toolbar in MS Office doesn't seem to have a purpose other than to annoy me.

Wow thank you so much for mentioning how to get rid of the stupid acrobat toolbar.
Mac os high sierra antivirus. It takes up a whole row on my 12' iBook and is just one more click that causes me to try to avoid the entire Office suite.

Once again, this is the definitive trick to get rid of Acrobat stuff in Office: in the 'Microsoft Office'/Office/Startup folder, there are 3 folders: Excel, PowerPoint, Word. In each of them you have to create a *folder* with the name of the annoying Acrobat additions. More precisely:
- in the Excel folder, create the folder 'PDFMaker.xla'
- in the PowerPoint folder, create the folder 'PDFMaker.ppa'
- in the Excel folder, create the folder 'PDFMaker.dot'
Hope this helps.

I have been wanting to dump those for so long. Thank you.

Open Acrobat Reader, select Preferences from the Adobe Reader menu, select Internet from the list, uncheck the top option 'Display PDF . '
This is a lot easier.

Actually, unchecking the preference doesn't 'stick', which is, I think, the point of the article. The next time you open a PDF with acrobat or reader, the preferences reset themselves so that the next time you view a pdf in Safari, the adobe plugin launches. I've had this happen numerous times.

First, I'm annoyed that both Safari and Acrobat ignore the user and try to offer features I simply do not want enabled.
Second, I'm even more annoyed that (blame either Acrobat or Safari here) the previous hint STOPPED working all of a sudden. Thanks for the heads-up that my former preference would be ignored.
Finally.I'm bummed that this particular hint didn't work for me. I did everything (unchecked pdf support in Quicktime and Acrobat as well as moved the plug-in to the disabled plug-ins folder). Seems I'm now cursed with PDFs buried in Safari (hence my use of Firefox more often these days). The hint to use that other plugin is a good one (just installed it).thanks!

Personally, I enjoy PDF's opening in my browser. But I do think they opened up to slow.
BUT! i think i found the problem. In the Adobe preferences, there is a setting which allows you to tell it what kind of internet connection you have. Mine was set on 56Kbps. so obviously i changed it to LAN Speed (i'm on a cable modem) and now PDF's open up almost instantaneously.
I hope this is doing what i think i'm doing. I'm going to do more testing. But i would love to hear from others and see if this helps the slow PDF opening of Adobe Acrobat.

1) Open Acrobat
2) Go in : menu Acrobat, Preferences, Internet
3) Uncheck 'Display PDF in browser using.'
