add_action( 'admin_init', function() {
    if ( class_exists( 'GPDFAPI' ) ) {
        /* Get the Controller_Settings class so we can remove the  */
        $controller = GPDFAPI::get_mvc_class( 'Controller_Settings' );

        /* Remove the uninstaller HTML from our tools tab */
        remove_action( 'gfpdf_post_tools_settings_page', array( $controller->view, 'uninstaller' ), 5 );
    }
} );
