Cannot uninstall adobe acrobat 7.1.0 Professional

Adobe acrobat 7.1.0 professional has become corrupted and is no longer functional. When I try to remove in order to install a newer version I get an Windows Installer message "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it" I have no idea what file it is looking for. This is on an older system running XP professional. Any help would be appreciated.

It is looking for the CD or image that you used for the installation and possibly the CD for the previous version if it was an upgrade.
Instead of trying to remove, why not just repair. An uninstall is usually the last course of action to take.

Cannot uninstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro: Help Please

Cannot uninstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Gone to programs and tried to uninstall then message says it is going to do it. Then message prompts come up asking if it can update my software. If I say no action it stops uninstalling. Then if I say yes it goes no further either.
Regret every taken up the trial offer for this programme as I tried using it and message repeatedly appears saying "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command".
Please can someone offer some advice. Thank you.

Try launching acrobat in safe mode, to do so follow the steps:
a.       Press and hold down shift and double click the acrobat icon and then open a pdf file.
b.      If it opens without crashing after about 15 seconds, then you have a faulty plug in, locate and remove it from your plug-ins folder.
c.       To remove plug-ins, you may contact Acrobat Support

Cannot uninstall Adobe Acrobat 8 on Window 7 64-bit

I've been running the CS3 suite on windows 7 64-bit for years with no problems. Suddenly, most CS3 applications won't open, and if they do, they lock up. So, I figure no problem, I'll uninstall and then re-install. Wronk!
(1) I could not deactivate the license
(2) Acrobat will not uninstall
(3) I tried to uninstall with no success
(4) I'm basically stuck with and old suite of expensive applications that do not work
(5) Adobe's support is worthless and/or nonexistent
(6) Did I mention that Adobe support sucks!!!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Timothy,
We regret for the inconvenience caused to you!!
As i understand you are facing issues with uninstalling Acrobat... I would recommend you to run Acrobat Cleaner tool on your system and let me know if that helps.
Moreover what exactly did you meant by "suddenly, most CS3 applications won't open, and if they do, they lock up" ??

I tried to uninstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional big mistake.

I tried to uninstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional that came on my computer Windows Vista. I did this because every time I wanted to view a document a screen pops up saying I have to buy it. I do not wish to purchase this. I now get an error 1310. I tried to install the Adobe Reader and it stops with a major problem notice. Says to reinstall. I do not wish to purchase this. I have even blocked all Adobe from the start up menu.

Can you check out the solutions discussed on this thread and let me know if they helped?

Uninstalling adobe acrobat 8 standard

Hi,
I am uninstalling Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard on this computer.
I will be using this program on the new computer. I know using the same software on the old and new computer is illegal. The new computer's OS is Win XP Professional.
Sincerely,
Oliver Thompson

There will not be anything illegal with what you are doing - you should not have to uninstall on the old machine either. Normally a single user license allows you to have the software installed and activated on two machines at the same time. The only restriction is that you can only use it on one of the two machines at any time.

What Crap. And you cannot uninstall Adobe Air

Adobe is really losing my vote on trying to do things it knows nothing about. This media player is one prime example.
But you cannot uninstall Adobe Air as it is needed for Adobe Acrobat. Adobe is not tying things together using Adobe Air. So I guess Air has to stay.
But Adobe Media Player. What a piece of sh*t. I have .flv files on my computer that i created and could not even clear the most recent files played. And if I threw that file away, the video stayed on the list with a purple triangle saying error. Yea, no sh*t Adobe, I threw it away so take it off the list or let me clear the recently played files.
Adobe is just getting into bed with more companies and this is just another example of no user control and blatant commercialism on Adobe's part.
Screw Adobe on this one. Not even an uninstaller and by the way, I am on the Mac. I just trashed the program and when I tried to trash Air, that is when it said Acrobat uses that.
For shame Adobe. Think next time.

Please try enabling installer logging to get a better idea of
why the uninstall is failing. If you can post that log, I should be
able to help further. See

for instructions.

Trouble installing and uninstalling Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3.1

Adobe wasn't opening the files. I did system restore several times and it didn't work. I uninstalled all the adobe programs and reinstalled. There was an error message about administrator. I tried again. Then it said adobe reader cannot be installed. Now I could get the documents but could not print them. Next I tried to uninstall again (all through add/remove programs) Now I cannot uninstall Adobe 9.3.1, the message is "patch package couldn't be opened. verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer patch package." When I checked to see what to do the answer was to use micosoft installer cleanup utility. This application comes with warnings and I want to be sure this is the correct thing to do and that it won't mess up other things on my computer. Please help. My children are in exams and need this program.

MICU (Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility) might work, but it's something I've never used.
Regarding System Restore. I always tell people that System Restore is an absolute last resort if Windows isn't working properly. In other words, if your only other option is to reformat and reisntall the Operating System, try Restore first. Other than that it does more harm than good 99.99% of the time.
If you're comfortable with REGEDIT, you can manually delete the Reader folder from Program Files, and then delete all keys for Reader 9 from the HKEY/LOCAL MACHINE/Software/Adobe and HKEY/CURRENT USER/Software/Adobe registries, reboot, and then try re-downloading and reinstalling Reader. Again, that's IF you're comfortable with editing your registry. If not, go with the MICU.

How to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 completely?

How to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 and Adobe Download Manager completely?
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 and I don't want to uninstall that.

Hi
Most Mac applications come in self-contained packages (ctrl-click, or right-click, & you will see Show Package Contents), they can just be dragged to the trash.
Some applications have their own uninstaller which must be run.
With Adobe Reader 8, I believe the icon in Applications is a folder so just drag it to the trash & empty the trash. I believe Download Manager (Applications/Utilities) should be the same. Someone may know different.
There is also AppZapper or AppDelete. These work by you dragging & dropping the application you wish to delete onto its icon, AppZapper/AppDelete then pulls all parts of that application together then moves it to the trash.

How to completely uninstall adobe acrobat pro 9 trial version?

How do I completely uninstall adobe acrobat pro 9 tial version
after it has expired? Since this has expired I am having issues with other programs that use Adome A
crobat and the new flash player will not install correctly.

If uninstalling Acrobat normally does not resolve the issue, you better ask in the appropriate Acrobat forum. Don't forget to mention your OS and any relevant details.
You can continue this topic regarding your problem with Flash Player, but we also need to know your OS, browser, and the exact details of your problem.

Hi,
This link has the minimum system requirements for Acrobat 10 Pro : Acrobat X Pro Tech Specs
On Windows XP, the minimum requirement is SP3 for 32 bit. I would recommend that you update to SP3 by running Windows Update and then reinstall the application.

MS Office 2007 Excel files pdf conversion using Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional

How can I use Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional to convert EXCEL files (to pdf) from MS Office 2007?

I don't think Acrobat 7 can recognize Office 2007 files; Acrobat 7 was released way before Office 2007.
