Generative AI prompt blocking features
When using the search function in Adobe Acrobat, the (extremely annoying) AI "help" prompt blocks text on the document. This should be removed or made smaller. Or, the option to remove generative AI from preferences should be made available for all users.

You’re absolutely right, this constant AI help prompt in Acrobat really gets in the way. Fortunately there is a way to disable it:
On the desktop version, go to Edit (or Menu) → Preferences → Generative AI, then uncheck “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat”.
If you're using Acrobat on the web, go into your Settings → Generative AI and disable it there.
Also, if you want tips on writing prompts that avoid feeling robotic or too “AI-ish”, you might find www.deepseeksguides.com/how-to-make-deepseek-write-like-a-human/ useful, it gives detailed guidance on making AI outputs sound more natural.

Put it this way: I've downloaded SumatraPDF already as an alternative.
