I upgraded to Adobe DC for a few months, then I didn't need it anymore, and went back to the free Adobe reader version. At that point, it started launching at start-up, taking over my whole screen. It's been driving me crazy.
But I did find this online: How to Stop an Application from Opening at Startup With Mac OS X , and it does stop the full application from opening. At this moment, only the icon in the bottom ribbon appears. The full program doesn't launch, just the icon. And for now, I'll have to live with that....until I find a different/better PDF reader and bid Adobe adieu.
If have an older installation then please make sure to read the general terms of use and uninstall any old Reader and plug-in installation before installing the new reader and the plug-in. The integration works with the 2019.010.20064 version of Acrobat Reader DC and Acrobat DC. Please do not use the plug-in with an earlier version of Acrobat.
Adobe developed the Portable Document Format to standardize electronic document handling. PDF, the file format that carries the business world on its back, is everywhere, from product manuals to legal documents. To open, view, and edit PDFs, you need a PDF reader -- for example, Adobe's free Reader. Despite competition from simpler tools, Reader remains the standard the others are judged against. We looked at the latest version of Reader, Adobe Reader X. With it you can view and annotate all PDF files, sign documents electronically, and access optional Adobe Online subscription services directly from inside its interface.
As we noted, Adobe Reader X is the standard for freeware PDF readers, none of which can match Reader's capabilities and extras. Lighter, simpler tools are available, but Adobe's free reader remains the one to beat.
Adobe Acrobat Reader Lite is a free software used for viewing, printing and annotating PDF files. Developed by Adobe, Adobe Reader Lite is a stripped version of the popular Adobe Reader DC (Document Cloud), bringing you all the essential tools to interact with PDFs but without the unnecessary bloat and resource-demanding features that the latter is known for. Considered the leading PDF reader in the market, Adobe Reader Lite is the go-to choice for everyone looking for a powerful document management application that will go light on their computer resources.
