Stop the Adobe Product Improvement Program prompt from appearing

How do I stop the Adobe Product Improvement program prompt from constantly popping up whenever I open a pdf?      I've tried to follow all the instructions to disable but to no avail.    When I go to Help and try to follow the path, I can't get to anywhere to de-select participation.   What can I do, this is very disruptive and wasn't occurring two weeks ago, but now all the time??
Help ??

Thanks for the response.   I’ve done this before, and I’ve just tried it again, and it doesn’t change anything. 
If I go to “Help” and choose “Improvement Program Options” it simply brings me back to the popup window that asks “Help Improve the Adobe Reader Experience” asking for permission to include me in the program.   This window offers these two options:
“Yes I would like to help make Reader even better”
“No, thank you”
Then I can choose one of three actions
“OK”
“Remind Me Later”
“Cancel”
No matter which one I choose it doesn’t change anything, next time I try to view a pdf this same window popsup again asking me to participate in the improvement program.
This wasn’t like this two weeks ago, it just started and without me changing any settings on my computer.
What am I missing?
Thanks,  Ed

  • How do I stop the Adobe Product Improvement Program prompt?

    How do I stop the Adobe Product Improvement Program prompt from coming up every time I open Photoshop CS5 on my Mac, even after I have responded that I do not want to participate?  This is becoming very annoying and I have looked on line for a method to turn this off without luck.
    Thanks,
    Alan

    It only asks once.
    So it sounds like your preferences might not be getting saved for some reason (usually a permissions problem on your system)..

  • Disable\Remove "Check for Update" "Lightroom online" and "Adobe Product Improvement Program"

    Hi,
    I wanted to confirm if it is possible to remove\Disbale the options like  "Check for Update" "Lightroom online" and "Adobe Product Improvement Program"
    under help menu in adobe lightroom 5.3? I intend to deply this application and want these options to be unavailable for the User.
    Kindly suggest, Thanks.

    So far as I know, the only way to make these features non-functioning is to detach the computer from the internet.

  • Adobe product improvement program turn off? photoshop will not launch.

    I launched photoshop and a window popped up... "Help improve adobe products"      Do not participate    Participate
    regardless of either one photoshop is all grayed out under the windows and will not start...

    Could mean that you do not have sufficient user privileges/ file permissions and the info for your choice cannot be stored, hence it pops back over and over....

  • Flash Professional CS5 crashing (Adobe Product Improvement Program)

    Everytime I go to start up Flash CS5 the APIP pops up and no matter what option I click  it crashes. I looked and saw some fixes for other programs, but those fixes, didnt help for flash.
    TIA!

    Did you follow the suggestions in this thread:

    That should let you disable it in multiple ways if you're comfortable enough using regedit if you're using Windows.

  • Photoshop CS5: Can't Disable Adobe Product Improvement Popup

    Every time I launch Photoshop CS5, I get the "Adobe Product Improvement" window, asking if I want to participate in the program. It offers me two choices: Yes, Participate or No, Thank You. I have been clicking on the "No" button for months, but the window always comes up the next time I try to open CS5. And I have to click one of the buttons before it will let me work on a file. Needless to say, this is very annoying. Can you tell me how to disable this window?

    Seems that 1712 is a time out error. Basically, Mac is waiting for Photoshop to respond in some fashion and is not getting what it wants. So this error is being returned by the OS and not Photoshop, which doesn't help us diagnose the source of the issue. Since it worked recently, first and foremost, try this (compensate for version number on file and folder names): http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/

  • Adobe online improvement survey continues to appear

    Every single time I open Adobe Photoshop CS6 I get asked to participate in the Adobe Online Improvement survey. I have declined 500 times by now. Adobe's direction instruct me to go to help > Adobe online improvement survey and select 'Do not allow'. Except 'Do not allow' is not available. It only brings up the same survey window I get when I open the program, where I can once again decline to participate. I have deleted my preferences file but have had no luck. Adobe help is apparently not working anymore either. Any suggestions? This is incredibly annoying.

    The problem is not common - I don't think I've seen it discussed here.
    There is no "Help > Adobe online improvement survey" entry.  Can you be more specific (ideally take a screenshot) about exactly what it tells you to do to avoid the survey?
    There IS a Help - Adobe Product Improvement Program entry.  When I click that I get this dialog:
    [Do Not Participate] seems the appropriate choice.
    You're saying that's not the dialog you see when you choose Help > Adobe Product Improvement Program?

  • How do I stop the Adobe Popup when printing?

    I am constantly creating PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. I create from multiple programs: Office Word, Excel, Paint, Etc. as well as AutoCADD.  I create them using Adobe as a printer, thus printing to PDF. Once the PDF has been created from the other program via printing to Adobe, the new PDF file pops up for viewing. I am ok with this; however I then click onto another program and after a few second the PDF pops up again. Even if I close it a few seconds later it pops up again. When I am printing multiple sheets out of a program I am jumping back and forth and the popup feature slows me up big-time or causes me to mess up the files I am working with.
    How do I stop the Adobe Popup?

    That fixed the problem of the printing taking over the screen multiple times. I would like to have a solution where the finished file shows "PDF results" once, letting me know that the file has been created successfully, then let me get back to another program. Maybe this can be an upgrade with the next version.

  • Can you keep the Adobe products after you cancel your membership?

    I was wondering if you can keep the Adobe products after you cancel your membership, whether on month-to-month or annual.

    No... you stop paying rent, the programs stop working
    If you want a (higher at one time) single purchase, and you can use 3 year old software, look at Creative Suite 6

  • I had all the adobe products on my old laptop and it broke, but i backed up the harddrive. why isn't it letting me use any of my adobe products!?

    I'm so frustrated. My laptop overheated or something a few months ago, and i took it to a repair shop and he saved my hard drive. and I finally got a new macbook pro, and i have my old hard drive plugged in and dragged all my applications over. I tried editing a photo with photoshop, and it said "error 16: please uninstall and reinstall the product. If this problem still occurs, please contact technical support for help, and mention the error code.... "
    what would uninstalling it and reinstalling it do? would i love everything or have to pay for it again? I'm a recent art student graduate, and i cannot afford getting the adobe products again and they're all on my computer, just not working. What do I do?

    You can download CS6 from this link.  Use your current serial # to license it.

    First right click on the Adobe Photo Downloader, and then select disable. Think that should do the trick. Did that 2 months back, so I can't really recall well.
    Hope this helps. Jya. ^_^
    Hi,
    I can't find the disable button. Can anybody help me?

  • The Adobe product that installed "Adobe Device Central" has not been activated.

    After the download for the CS5.5 Design Standard finished, I pressed the handy button labeled "Download Complete! Open bundle." However, when I press that, I get a message that says:
    Thank you for using "Adobe Device Central". The Adobe product that installed "Adobe Device Central" has not been activated. Please launch and activate that Adobe product before continuing to use "Adobe Device Central".
    This has been the case for multiple attempts at varied times. What do I do?

    Christy Wurtz can you please post a screen shot of this error?  Where are you downloading the installation files for Creative Suite 5.5 from?

    Search any of the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch forums for "flash". You'll find a number of threads on the issue with suggestions for alternative app/service combinations that allow viewing of some Flash content.
