Stop the annoying AI Popups
In my line of work, I look at a lot of technical drawings in PDF form. The incessant popups suggesting I summarize my pdf of a drawing are so annoying. In fact, I don't ever want to use AI on my work as it is against company policy. I sometimes regret downloading this program, and I will be looking for an alternative soon.

As an engineer in high tech, I use LLMs several times a day _by_choice_ when I want or need to. I do not want my document viewer / editor volunteering to analyze my documents.
If I read a technical document that is mostly diagrams and engineering drawings, Acrobat concludes that it looks like "a long document" and asks me if I wish for it to "summarize" this document for me.
There is beauty in clean, efficient software that is simply a pleasure to use. A racing bicycle should be beautifully engineered in its simplicity, excelling at one thing rather than endeavoring to be an ice cream truck complete with blaring square wave tones. In software engineering, a code module should do one thing and do it well. As soon as other features are crammed into it, it reeks of scope creep and we refer to it as a "code smell."
And your outsourced feedback "forum" is so terrible that you have spammers. Seriously, what the heck? Do you think so little of your customers?
Is Adobe so incompetent at customer service that they redirect customers to an outsourced site that is like talking to the vacuum of space? Stop listening to your business consultants and start listening to your customers.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been trying different sites for SASSA and SRD updates, and most of them are full of ads or popups. I checked the one you shared, and it really is cleaner. I also use this one sometimes for cross-checking my status: https://sassascheck.co.za/ it’s been reliable so far.
