Can I hide or disable EchoSign?

Since we already use an electronic signature application we would like to hide or disable EchoSign on Adobe Reader to avoid confusion. Is this possible?

You can add the following registry key to the machine with Reader:
Disabling all hosted services through registry
bEnableAcrobatHS (dword : 0) at HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Workflows
you need to add Workflows key manually.

if this is for a Reader deployment you can generate a mst file using the Customization wizard.

More preferences which can be set via the registry download the AIM tool:

Looking for same sort of answer, but more on the lines of tagging the document to tell Reader not to display the Sign feature.

We will not have control over people's machines or Reader installations.

If you apply security to the document the EchoSign functionality won't be available for use with the file. You can do this with Acrobat.
