In Acrobat Pro and Adobe reader the Generative AI upload is enabled by default and you have to opt-out if you don't want to do that. Here for more: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/generative-ai.html

Following script can be deployed with a policy and creates two plists which disables Generative AI in Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro.

 

#!/bin/sh
# Adobe Reader
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :DC dict" /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Reader.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :DC:FeatureLockdown dict" /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Reader.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :DC:FeatureLockdown:bEnableGentech bool false" /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Reader.plist
# Adobe Acrobat Pro
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :DC dict" /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :DC:FeatureLockdown dict" /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :DC:FeatureLockdown:bEnableGentech bool false" /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist
