I was horrified to find that Acrobat DC was automatically saving PDF files to the cloud. How do I stop this?

Acrobat doesn't do this.

Acrobat did do it on my machine.
If I select Home then Recent I get a list of recently opened files. Some of them had a small cloud icon next to the file name. If I hover the mouse over this icon it says that the document was saved in the cloud (not exact wording). To verify that these were in fact saved in the cloud I made sure one of the files was no longer on my computer then clicked on it in the list. Sure enough if opened. I went to my account on Adobe and found these files and deleted them all from Adobe's servers.
Now I want to make sure this does not happen again.

Under Help, just select Sign Out, then never sign back in. That way you don't have the option of even accidentally saving to the Document Cloud.

I tried that and I am not able to sign out. I get a pop-up with the warning "Initializing registration ... Please retry after a minute."

That means you wait a minute...or more like 2 minutes and click help again, your signin/out account will show.
