How do I re-download Acrobat pro XI when Creative Cloud app thinks it's still installed?

I've been having no end of grief with Creative Cloud on my late 2009 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac, running OS X 10.9.2. It slows my finder redraw down so that sometimes it takes 5 minutes to display the contents of a folder in the finder.
So a couple of months ago I removed the Creative Cloud app from my machine, and things started running smoothly again except I was unable to update the rest of my CC apps.
Needing to update the Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop CC, I reluctantly reinstalled the Creative Cloud app, which refused to recognise that I had a bunch of Adobe apps installed (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat, Bridge) ... all except Lightroom, which it recognised. So I uninstalled all my apps and re-downloaded them through Creative Cloud so CC would 'see' that I had the apps. Not so easy with Acrobat XI: I had problems opening it so I went through the 'Uninstal Acrobat XI' app in the Acrobat folder, and now Creative Cloud thinks it's still installed and therefore I can't download a fresh copy.
Should I go through the rigmarole of uninstalling Creative Cloud again and run the risk of it losing track of all my other apps once again, or is there another way to work around this? Every time I try to download from the Adobe site it launches Creative Cloud...
Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me please.

With the help of Adobe support, I signed out of Creative Cloud and signed back in. Although I'd done this yesterday with no result, it worked this time and I'm currently reinstalling Acrobat.

    Hello,
    I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC (together with the Apps) doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

  • Cannot Download Adobe Muse CC with Creative Cloud App

    I have tried several times to download Adobe Muse CC with my Creative Cloud app. No big problems with all the other programs I've downloaded but cannot get Muse downloaded.
    I keep getting Exit Code 7. There are 3 errors with exit codes of 1612 and 255 and do not see an error code for the third error.
    I was trying to paste the Summary of Errors here but will not let me paste anything.
    Basically the download fails and is always looking for Nero.Express.msi for some odd reason, or at least odd to me.
    I tried downloading also from a direct link for the latest version of Muse and it also failed to install.
    I keep reading about uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Air, WHY???
    Any help here? Not sure why I was able to download numerous other programs and cannot get this one.
    Thanks.

    Hi wynter32466,

  • How do I install Acrobat Pro without the Creative Cloud client.

    I work in IT Support for a large organization. We have one user whom we have purchased an Adobe Acrobat Pro XI license for.
    Have installed the Creative Cloud client successfully, but it cannot connect to the Adobe servers to download.
    We have given the users machine temporary access to bypass all proxys and firewalls, and can see that no traffic at all is being stopped or even questioned by our devices in place, however the user still gets a firewall error. Obviously no local firewalls are running either.
    We believe the issue to be related to Applocker, that only allows installs from certain location on the local drive. Our security administrator is insisting that he will not change this to allow for installs from the Creative Cloud folder, and has told us to get the direct install files from Adobe and run the install manually from the existing allowed folder.
    Is there direct downloads for each package? Or am I going to have to download it at home and create an install package manually??
    Ideas??

  • Trouble with Adobe Acrobat Pro installation from Creative Cloud

    When I attempt to install Adobe Acrobat Pro from Creative Cloud, it will always fail on the first attemp. If I retry, it installs it. Then, when I open a pdf document, the application quits in seconds. I get a modal window with the license agreement. However, it is blank and the pull downs are empty. I hit a dead end.
    This is so aggravating; especially when Adobe is charging me for my membership every month.
    What gives? Can someone help with this?
    Brian

    Brian which operating system are you using?  Do you receive any specific errors during the installation process?  If you are using a Windows operating system then please uninstall Acrobat using the Programs and Features control panel.  Once done then please try using the Acrobat Cleaner Tool available at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.
    Also you mentioned that the EULA window is blank you may also want to see Blank EULA screen appears on Acrobat XI launch - http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/blank-eula-screen-appears-acrobat.html.  Solution 2 is not likely to be relevant unless you are using an operating system not currently supported by the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

  • Same conversion as Acrobat Pro X or Creative Cloud?

    Does ExportPDF utilize the same conversion engine as Acrobat Pro X and/or Creative Cloud?

    Yes and no!
    ExportPDF's conversion engine was built upon the same technology used in Acrobat X, however it underwent update/improvements more often than Acrobat X did.
    Acrobat XI, which is now available to Creative Cloud subscribers, also possesses the ability to Save as Word/Excel.  The conversion technology found in Acrobat XI is essentially the same as the ExportPDF service is currently.
    Bottom line, if you have a Creative Cloud subscription and you've installed Acrobat XI, you shouldn't need a subscription to ExportPDF.
    Please let us know if you have any questions!

  • Will I need to download my adobe creative cloud apps again if I re-install my operating system?

    I have recently signed up to adobe creative cloud and am very pleased with the products. It took a while to download the apps (adobe photoshop, premiere, indesign, illustrator and adobe bridge. If I re-install my Operating system (windows 8) on my PC, will I need to download those apps again, or is there a way of saving them to a USB or DVD before I format the drive?
    I hope someone can advise me on this - thanks in advance
    Rob

    So am I right in thinking that there are no '.exe' files which I would be able to save on a USB, hard drive or DVD, rather than download them again?  - it seems like a lot of information to download and I am having to use mobile broadband at the moment. Is there a DVD which you might be able to supply me that I can use in the future?
    Downloading the trial of the master collection would presumably involve me downloading a massive amount of program data from adobe cloud, so I'm not sure if this would help. I really appreciate your suggestion and speedy response to my query. Please let me know if there is any other method that you could suggest. Kind regards

  • How do I find the serial number for my creative cloud apps?

    I just downloaded Photoshop and Lightroom as part of the photography bundle for CC. Each time I launch the app, it is asking me to enter my serial number or continue as a trial. Does anyone know how to avoid this?

    If you are still using them as a trial then I do not think there is anything you can do but continue as a trial or purchase. When the trial period runs out the programs will stop functioning.
