Please, please do this. It's distracting, and somewhere between pointless and actively harmful on the vast majority of PDFs I read.
People frequently use Acrobat for vitally important documents where all the details matter. To give a sample of the past month, I've used Acrobat for government-distributed voting instructions, technical manuals, and information-dense study guides. "Summaries" of these documents will necessarily elide important details at best, and potentially misrepresent vital information at worst.
While I'm sure there exist legitimate use-cases for this tool, they will never be appropriate for the sort of documents I use Acrobat to view. This is seriously the number one thing pushing me away from Acrobat and towards a more stripped-down PDF reader.
