Can I delete Adobe Reader after purchasing Adobe Acrobat?

Hey all....
I just purchased a Fujitsu ScanSnap that came with Adobe Acrobat. With that, I though I would be able to delete Adobe reader off of my computer thinking that Acrobat would now take over for all .PDF's I wanted to look at, but for some reason I'm getting an error and I had to reinstall Adobe Reader- Even now when I open a .PDF- it opens with reader- if I want to open with Acrobat, I have to open Acrobat and then open the file from the menu bar. Any help on how to get rid of reder would be appreciated!
Thanks!

From what I understand, you uninstalled Reader. However, Acrobat had already been installed. When you uninstalled Reader, you broke Acrobat and would need to do a repair. They share some files and the Acrobat uninstall is not good about checking those files. That is why things started working again when you reinstalled Reader, effectively fixing Acrobat. As graffiti said, having both is not recommended. I would suggest you uninstall Reader again and then repair Acrobat. You can also uninstall both and reinstall Acrobat. Be careful about the uninstalls on Acrobat so that you also do the proper deactivation, not reducing your number of permitted installed.

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

2 medical softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install but IExplorer succeded

Hello,
We have two softwares ( medical application) which open pdf via adobe reader XI.
Theses softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install( using adobeArCleaner+Customisation Wizard XI).
At this point Internet Explorer is ok to open pdf with adobe reader...
We have to launch manually adobe reader once on the computer to make the two applications to manage openning pdf
Launching adobe reader seems to finish the installation...
Did the editors have to put an "option" when they open pdf ( to act like Internet Explorer...) ?
Thanks

I am very glad to have a so rapid answered!
Sorry I was not precise...
When the file should open,
for one application an error is happening,
for the other application which is a "web" application, an other window ( not "web") opens with adobe reader and the pdf document ( the expected behavior is to open adobe reader and the pdf file in the web window already opened)
I think that the file association is ok, if we double clik on a pdf, adobe reader is opening and then the file is opening in adobe reader window...
If I open Internet Explorer and I search for a pdf on the web, It is openning in the same window web.
But something seems not finish for the medical softwares...

I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here
== When I download and try to read a .pdf file and when I am asked to turn off all Firefox files and if I do, I lose them since I need to know how to save them without rebooting my computer.

Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

I want to upgrade my Adobe Reader XI to Adobe XI Professional. What do I need to purchase?

I want to upgrade my Adobe Reader XI to Adobe XI Professional so that I can combine and split documents. Do I need to purchase the upgrade version of Adobe XI Professional?

Useful things to know.
1. This is not considered an upgrade. It's a separate product, and runs separately. You can have both installed (though it's often better not to). This is important because some people buy Acrobat, then run Reader, and wonder why it hasn't changed.
2. You must not purchase an upgrade. When you purchase an upgrade you have already own a version of (paid for) Acrobat. You have to say what version you already own, and this will be checked; you cannot use your purchase of an upgrade version if you don't own an older version.

You need to open Reader outside of Safari Start>All programs and accept the agreement.

How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

Cannot re install adobe reader after Anna update !

Hi there, i know there has been some chat about losing Quick office and Adobe reader after Anna update on N8s on this site, I also lost office and Adobe after the update ! I needed to get office asap so i went to the quick office website and paid for it, that works fine but it seems adobe will not install even directly from quick office ! The support from QO has been great but i still cant re install adobe !! They have finally suggested that i re install Anna and than try again ! Does anyone have any other ideas !
Solved!

@beefy122
I have the same problem but I am not prepared to pay for Quick Office or pdf reader because the full versions came as standard with my N8.
It appears that the Anna upgrade comes in 3 parts:
The main Anna file, Additional file 1/2 and finally additional file 2/2.
I installed the Anna upgrade then 24 hours later I was offered (both via Ovi Suite on my PC) the 2/2 additional file.
However, Quick Office and pdf reader are apparently included in 1/2, which has not yet been offered to me, presumably because my phone has not recognised that it has not been installed.
I am on Orange Uk and I wonder if Orange have not yet fully tested the updates and therefore that is why the full suite is not available to me. I may be wrong of course.
At one point on one of the other threads, someone had posted a link to the updates required for both 1/2 and 2/2 but these links disappeared from the posting quite quickly.
Which updates have you loaded?
I have re-installed Anna 3 times and it has never offered me the 1/2 update that I require.
I would also appreciate other ideas but they have not been forthcoming yet despite many postings in quite a few threads (other than suggestions to reset the phone etc, that I am not prepared to do)
History: Always Nokia since 1994 including Nokia 2140, 7110e, 6150, 6210, 6310i, 6230i, N82
