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.
