How to turn off the 'We recommend Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to view or print a pdf' advertisement

Hello,

Every time I go to export a file to print, it keeps giving me this unexpected inappropriate advertisement for Adobe Acrobat? I do not want their software on my machine, at no point in time will I pay them an egregious subscription fee just to view my own PDF documents, when all of the competition does it for free, and does it in a far better manner.

How do I remove this unwanted, unexpected, in my face advertisement from Adobe? I didn't pay for this software to be advertised at, I didn't pay for this software to have terrible adobe trash shoved in my face.

This is not appropriate, this is for getting work done, not playing pattycake with Adobe.

Adobe Reader is free.

Meant to say edit PDF documents, not view. Adobe's free version is very restrictive, and their company being dishonest as they are, I won't put their trash on my PC.

Edit a pdf? Why do you want to edit your tax return pdf? You should not be editing it. Are you using the Turbo Tax Online version or the Desktop program? If you need to change something you need to go though the tax interview steps or in the Desktop program you can also use the Forms mode to make edits or overrides. If TT let you edit a pdf (or if you override amounts) then they can't guarantee your return. The pdf file should be exactly what you actually filed.
