Removal of Acrobat toolbar from Office

How do I get rid of the PDFMaker and Connect toolbars from Microsoft Office? They're quite irritating and they don't go away, even upon deletion.
I'm using Acrobat 8 Professional and Microsoft Office 2003.

There's no way to do it when it's already installed?
Yes you can. Use the Add/Remove Programs on your system.

Removing Acrobat Toolbar from Office 2011

I've searched the Web and all the solutions to this don't seem to work with Office for Mac 2011...
So ... I made the mistake of opening Adobe Acrobat Pro (The full app) yesterday, and when I did, it automatically (despite asking me and me saying "no") installed into all the Office apps the highly annoying and totally unnecessary Acrobat toolbar.
Does anyone know how to remove this thing? I've tried everything I can thing and everything I've found on the Web.
Halp!

There are reports of this happening in Office2011 on the OfficeForMac Forums. 2011 has returned the ability to use Macros. And the PDFMaker is a Macro. Acrobat installs this in any version of Office that can use Macros, whether it has the ability Function. In 2004 you went to customize menus and unchecked PDFMaker Then you you looked for PDFMaker in Acrobat and and Office. And yes Acrobat indeed does trigger its installation. Its been so long since I had to do it but at one time there was a Kludge to prevent it from happening. You had remove the offending item then create aBlank folder and name it exact same as application (Macro) and place it in place of the original file. In UNIX which is the underlying basis for the Mac OS. you can write over top of a Folder with a File.
2011 is almost line by line port of Office2010 for PC with some features left out. And there are some cases where they didn't or proof read the code to leave out items that will only work on PC. One such problem is That you can not use the word "File" or Fileserver in the name of any File, Folder, Harddrive, of fil Server paths. Something that is acceptable on Mac's for as long as Mac have been. Also certain forbidden characters such as <>| \/ " subscripts and superscripts and numbers can not proceed names (document1.docx is aceptable - 1document.docx is not). They put in a piece of PC Code that looks for this stuff. So for office2011 Mac, any way you can't name a File, Directory Hard Drive, or Fileserver in a PC, you can't in Office Mac 2011. It doesn't affect Office 2008, or 2004.
So if that insertion code Macro, is still in Acrobat 9, or even 10 it will install PDFMaker whether it can be used or not.

How to remove PDF Maker toolbars from Office/Word/Outlook ??

Cannot find a solution for this anywhere:
Using:
- CS 3 Design Suite with Acrobat installed (going to Control Panel > Add/Remove/Change CS3, no options available for Acrobat, only install/re-install)
- Office 2003.
The annoying toolbar appears in Outlook and Word, tried registry hacks, 'Templates & Add-ins' (no option to uncheck PDF Maker).
Can't get rid of it.
Any help?

You go back to the repair and remove the PDF Maker option in the install. Basically to not get that option on install, you would have done a custom install and disabled PDF Maker. Unless you are really super annoyed, I would suggest you just leave them there as it is likely that in the future you will want them to be able to transfer links, bookmarks, and such (it is needed for that functionality).

I would like to be able to remove the 'bookmarks toolbar' from the bookmarks menu.

Recently Firefox had a .. problem. I'm not sure what it was, or why. I just opened it one day and it had to 'reset'. So, it did, and i lost a bunch of things like addons and themes and stuff like that. Its not a big deal, because all the data was still there. Still, i have to fix some things again.
I'm still using Firefox 15 - mostly because of some addons that aren't available in later ones, namely an addon that lets me make the window title Aero themed, i like that much more than the solid colours and i can't find one that works with later versions (anyone know of a way around that i would love to hear that too.
Anyway, my question is simple I used to have the ability (i guess, an addon i've since forgotten about) to go to remove the 'bookmarks toolbar' from the Bookmarks menu. Also, i had a 'save all tabs' or something similar to that. Does anyone know an addon, or tweak, or anything that could get me that again?

Sounds that you had a chrome folder with a userChrome.css file in it to do such a customization.

If you have the Old Firefox Data folder on the desktop then check that folder for the chrome folder and copy that folder to the current Firefox Profile Folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

There is no brightness toolbar unless your iPhone is jailbroken. If so, you can try to restore to remove the JB.
The only place brightness exists is under Settings.

How to remove the app-toolbar from projects?

hi all.
i know there was somewhere a tutorial-part on how to make the app-toolbar invisible in the layout, but i can't find it anymore.
i mean the toolbar with
edit application : edit page X : new : session : debug : show edit-links
thanks for hint!

Joshua,
You only see the toolbar when you are logged into a workspace as a developer. You don't really have to remove it for end users. Try this: make sure you're not logged into a workspace and run your app directly:

Remove Read Mode Hovering Toolbar from Local Installation

You can just jump to the below red colored question if you don't want to read the supporting description.
I prefer to read PDF documents especially long ones in a non-disturbing manner.
More like in a clean look that is trending with cleaner designs in MS Office, Win 8, and others.
Here is an example of kind of view I am talking about that I would like.
We can get up to this point with few simple key stokes, Ctrl+H (Read Mode) would hide your side navigation tab and your main toolbar.
F9 would hide your Menu bar. Now all you have is the title bar, scrolling bar, and the bottom highlighted hovering toolbar.
Granted that yes you can move around the hovering toolbar by simple dragging and that it fades in-out but with any mouse movement it appears back on.
Yes its useful for controls, but if I want any I can just press Ctrl+H and/or F9 and it will bring me all the controls necessary.
I can use full screen mode yes for removing all the excess visuals and purely focus on the document but I can't select text or do any other things unless I come out of the full screen mode, which then destroys the purpose of clean look bringing back to normal look.
QUESTION
How to remove the Hovering Toolbar from the read mode?
We are not talking about embedding setting in a PDF so that it would do that on any computer but configure my local computer's Adobe Reader so that every time I go into read mode I wouldn't have to see the above highlighted hovering toolbar.
If there is some simple setting to disable it that's great, if I would have to do some destructive work and remove code/files to get rid of the hovering toolbar that's fine too.
Thanks.

Remove Contribute CS3 toolbar in MS Office?

Is there a way to remove the Contribute toolbar from the MS
Office applications? I know it was possible in version 4 but I
don't see it in CS3 (4.1).
Any help would be appreciated.

To remove the Contribute plug ins - you will need to close
both Contribute and MS Office applications. Then navigate to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Contribute CS3 and rename the
following file from officeplugin.dll to officeplugin.dllOLD. When
you relaunch Word, Excel or Outlook - the Contribute toolbar should
be removed.
If you choose to add the toolbar again in the future, you
just need to remove the OLD from the file name. Then bring up the
command.exe window and browse to the program's directory C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Adobe Contribute CS3\ and then run the following
command: regsvr32 officeplugin.dll
This will re-register the .dll file responsible for the
toolbar.

How to remove the toolbar from Excel / Office

I will never need to use Contribute in any Office App. I want
to remove the toolbar from Excel, at the moment. I have tried every
way conceivable to get rid of the toolbar yet it comes back when I
restart Excel. What do I need to do to make it go away for ever? It
shouldn't be this hard! I have unchecked its toolbar box 20 times,
yet it comes right back...

I know that it's late for this thread and you may never see
this, but just in case you do... a big thank you from me as well. I
installed Contribute only because I thought that I might see what
it does some day. I still haven't figured out anything even
remotely useful, and yet I had that accursed indelible toolbar
inflicting itself on me every time I opened an Office application.
I generally like Adobe software, but they made a meal of that one.

Removing Toolbar from Windows taskbar

Hello,
I need to deploy a script on almost 150 PCs with Windows 7 64bit. The script will uninstall and remove everything related to Office 2000. The script is ready, it`s working absolutely fine. However when we did install Office 2000 we alos did create a Toolbar
called "office 2000" and it was attached to Taskbar. Now when I will remove everything from that particular folder the taskbar still sits in there. I tried to find a registry key/value responsible for that Toolbar, but I cant`t anything suitable.
I`ve made a research in Google, but still nothing special found.
Does anyone know how to remove it using some commands in CMD/Powershell or by using VBScript?
Could anyone please advice on that?
Thank you

Hi Rubens,
I found a similar discussion, and this seems has no API to do this, simply because it would get abused, for the
reasons listed here:
Why
is there no programmatic access to the Start menu pin list?
For more detailed information, please go through this thread:

the Links Toolbar on the Windows Taskbar via PowerShell
If there is anything else regarding this matter, please feel free to post back.

I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.
