Nothing like an auto-enabled opt-in to be a beta tester.
If it happens to decide to make you a beta tester, and you don’t want to be, shut it off here (first close all docs you might have open):
Acrobat Preferences > Generative AI > uncheck Enable.

LOL this is causing quite an uproar at Reddit among the corporate administrators who don’t want a beta AI scooping their PDF data (at least the entries I read)

I’ve noticed how innovative companies like Adobe, Google, Facebook, Amazon, and others start out making great customer-focused products and become established and rich as a result. As time passes and their customer base solidifies, greed sets in. They slowly and incrementally shift their focus to what’s best for them instead of what’s best for their customers.
There’s a new term for that.
It’s called Enshittification.
This might say tiktok but the subhead is what the article is about.
