Hi,
I am getting sick of this crap, it is not even intelligent enough to figure out I do not want it. No matter how many times I hide the thing it keeps coming back.
Am I the only one who sees this and thinks it is useless.

The datasheet is 440 pages so what use are the 5 most important points and more important in whose opinion is it that they are important.
Is there a way to tell it to sod off for good?

Regards,
Bob

What application is that?

In Win 7 I use the PDF-Xchange viewer and don't get that unwanted 'help'.

There are many other PDF viewers to choose from.

Hi John,
It is Adobe Acrobat which is the default PDF viewer in Chrome, perhaps I should go back to Firefox?

If I open a datasheet it is there, not sure if there is an option to change it.

Bob, check your "My Messages". Apologies, Charlie

Enable "Ask me what to do with each download" or similar setting.

Then you can just download the PDF and view in a 'proper' PDF viewer.

Google Chrome has its own PDF viewer that does not do that, but you can add a Adobe extension which is what is doing that.
I don't know how you would disable that feature in the Adobe Chrome extension, but if you go to the Chrome settings there should be a Extensions option at the bottom of the list that appears at the side of the screen, select that the remove the Adobe extension if you don't really use any of the extra functions it may provide over the default Chrome PDF viewer.

Thanks,

I do not know how it got installed but I have removed it now and gave them a bit of a rant when asked why I was deleting it. Nobody will read it but I feel better.

Tried it with a datasheet and feel a lot happier there is no rubbish distracting me.

I think with respect to "artificial intelligence" most pay too much attention to the "intelligence" part.

Quote"Artificial" describes something that is made by "humans ?" rather than occurring naturally, or something that is not sincere or genuine.
Man-made (not sure about this either), Synthetic, Fake, Imitation, Contrived, Feigned

Humans have a tendency to reflect truth rather than false or fake, imo one can assume this AI rubbish is created by non-human entities. 
Looking at the utter sh3t on youtube (for one) off late this is the only conclusion one can draw.

To my way of thinking artificial and intelligence are polar opposites so AI cannot be trusted.

AI only knows what it has learned from outside sources so the old  coding saying of 'crap in, crap out'  must apply
