What is Adobe fatigue syndrome?
Fatigue in the dictionary is “Something, such as tiring effort or activity, that causes tiredness or weariness.”
The word Syndrome has this meaning “A complex of symptoms indicating the existence of an undesirable condition or quality.”
So seeing the Adobe ID login for the zillionth time could cause this?
A search on Google for Block the acrobat login gave me 132 results.
It seems that I am not the only one who is sick of being prompted for my non existing Adobe ID.
One result is this article on Medium titled “How to block Adobe Acrobat Internet Connection”
It seems like blocking Acrobat in the Firewall is the method they choose: If Acrobat thinks there is no internet connection, it can’t prompt you to log in to that pesky (non existing) Adobe ID.
The article starts promising much, then it suddenly is interrupted with :
Yes, to complete the steps to stop Adobe from prompting me to create an Adobe ID, I must first create a Medium ID
I get it, they have the right to put their content up for members only, but the irony…
In case you followed the steps above, and got stuck, here are the final steps to block Internet on Acrobat.
Next to This Program Path, browse to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
Click Next
Click Block the connection,
Click Next
Leave all the boxes ticked Domain, Private, Public,
Click Next
Name your rule, mine is called “Block Acrobat”
Enjoy.
Now if Google was really of any use, it would demote the medium article, no penalise it, for forcing an ID on an article about avoiding another companies ID.
