Acrobat Uninstall Won't Uninstall (8.1.2)

Whenever I try to use the uninstaller with Acrobat Pro 8.1.2., I get an error: "Invalid application:The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please run uninstaller again."
I installed Acrobat as a separate application (not as part of CS3). I am running OS X 10.5.2, on a 2.6 GHz MacBook Pro with 4 Gb RAM. How do I uninstall Acrobat if I can't via uninstaller?

Not sure if this will help, but maybe you need to "repair" the installation before removing the app.
Launch Acrobat 8 and under the "Help" menu is "Repair Acrobat Installation".
Once you do that, then try running the uninstaller.

Acrobat 3D won't publish with 3D controls in Powerpoint

Acrobat 3D won't publish with the 3D motion controls when published as a powerpoint packaged CD show or as Adobe Presenter files. Controls only appear in the native powerpoint PPT form.

I did a little more testing and here's what I found. If your
audio files reside on a network server (regardless of where your
presentation resides), the publish process will crash when trying
to access the audio. I had to copy my audio files from the server
to my hard drive and import them to the presentation. Then it
published ok. Go figure.

Acrobat/adobe won't let me convert files

It keeps telling me I have to buy the program. I pay for the Cloud on a monthly subscription and I really need to get this file converted so I can make changes for a meeting tomorrow!

I am logged in and am registered. It will simply not let me convert most PDF's to word, whether I open it with adobe, acrobat or pro 11. When I download documents from the school library, I can convert them, anything else I can't. And I really need to. What else can I try?

When you close Adobe Acrobat and launch it again if this is not registered yet.
It will ask you to either use serial number or you may see option subscribe .
You can choose subscribe or register and use your Adobe Id (email id registered with Adobe). As you said you have already purchased subscription then you should be able to activate the subscription the moment you
login with your Adobe id.

Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac-

Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac…?

One of two things:
1. Go to the Terminal App and type the word "sudo" and hit the Enter/Return key. If it comes back with a permissions error then seek from Apple to correct it.
2. If there is no permissions error in the Terminal app then go to the installation log at "/var/log/install.log" or "/private/var/log/install.log". Open it up and see if you find an error about failing to write to the file:
./postinstall: Error in converting the plist /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist to xml1 format
If you get the error above then delete the file at the location and try updating again

Acrobat CS3 won't print through XServe print server

Acrobat CS3 won't print through our XServe print server when connected by AppleTalk. Everything else prints fine. You can print the same .pdf with AppleTalk through Preview. And you can print with Acrobat through any other protocol but AppleTalk. The job spools, looks like it's going through but never reaches it's destination. We have 19 printers so it's not a single printer being cranky, and 35 Macs so it's not just a single Mac. All our users are on Active Directory and all are on the same subnet and VLAN.

Hello Scott,
If you look at the cups error log on the Xserve, does it give any clues as to why the Acrobat spool file is failing? Hopefully there is some indication as to which process is failing and why.
We're not using AppleTalk on our Xserve. All printer connections are set via LPR so I cannot offer any advice based on experience.

Acrobat X won't launch even after following all posted solutions

I have a licensed academic version of CS6 running on a win 8.1 64 bit computer. The software has been installed for < 1 week and was licensed immediately. Acrobat X won't launch. It shows me the window with a large screenshot of what I was previously looking at. I then have to crash out of it. I tried deactivating and reactivitating it last night and it worked fine. One solution also said to update the software. So I did. Now it won't work again. I tried the following solutions:
1) Run the patch in windows
2) Run the acrofix patch through cmd
3) Deactivate/reactivate
4) Update software again (no new updates anyway)
5) Look for and change name of cache.db (no such file)
What can I do? This is a huge hinderance to my work. Thanks!

The software has been fully activated including getting my serial number through registration of an academic account, activating my online account, and activating the account. There are, as far as I can tell, no further things that I need to do. By reinstalling the software I was able to get Acrobat to work again, but I am afraid now that I won't be able to run any updates.

Acrobat XI won't install in English

Acrobat XI won't install in English. How do I change that?

Hi,
I have few questions for you :
1. Are you on windows or Macinstosh OS.
2. By default Acrobat installs in OS language. So I would want to know what is your OS language. Is some language pack applied by default?
3. In case of windows OS, You can choose language of installation by double-clicking "Setup.exe". A pop-up windows comes up which has list of languages. Choose the language to be installed in this drop-down and only that language will be installed.
4. In case you have already Installed Acrobat, you can change display language by going to Edit -> Preferences - > Language. In the drop-down against application Language : Choose the option "Choose at Application start-up". Close Acrobat. Launch it again. A drop-down will be presented. Choose "English" here.
OR,
Press down CTRL + SHIFT and Double-click Acrobat shortcut. A drop-down will be presented to select the display language.

Acrobat Pro won't open, how do I restore it?

My Acrobat Pro won't open, how do I restore it?

Yes, updates run each time I reinstall Bill.
On one forum, it was suggested to download Adobe cleaner. I ran it every time before reinstalling. Adobe XI Pro works after that, but is so unstable. Cant figure out what triggers it to stop launching.

Acrobat X won't scan

Acrobat X worked fine on a Dell Dimension B110 connected to a Dell 946 printer. I upgraded to a new Dell XPS running MS 7 and connected to the same Dell 946 printer. The scan document function no longer works. I reloaded the Acrobat X program, searched for updated driver, etc. all with no luck. I hope someone can help.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
If I read it correctly, it is 10.0 The full label on the box reads
"DUS/A.ACRO,10.0.WIN,GEN,UE. W/SENSOR "
I have been through, and performed all the troubleshoot steps including
troubleshoot scanner issues. I have also tried to find help from the Microsoft
site and the Dell site.
Thanks again.

Adobe acrobat 8 won't install with Indesign and Dreamweaver CS4

I have a client who I had to build a new computer for which is Windows XP Pro. On her original machine I had AA8, InDesign CS4, DreamWeaver CS4, Contribute CS5, Adobe Reader 9.3 and Adobe Photoshop 6. I have tried puting AA8 on the new machine that has all of the above on it and I get a response that I have a newer version of AA and it won't install. I don't have any AA on this machine so I'm not sure what to do. She says she can't edit PDFs or combine them and that she can't create a PDF ind Word and Xcel and edit them. Should I tell her to upgrade to AA9 so that it is compatible to the CS4/5 products?
Thanks,
Lgarn

Thank you Bill for replying.
I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting. Activation fails each time I've tried. As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice. They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it. I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
I'll now follow the link you've given me. Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

Acrobat just won't open...

Adobe Acrobat 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I keep getting that pop up error every time I try to open it. I've uninstalled all Adobe related software and reinstalled...still won't open.

Something changed since the last time you used Acrobat. It is just a matter of figuring out what it is. Windows updates? Do you have restore points so you can roll it back to when you know it was working?

Acrobat 10 won't start anymore

Love how you spend thousands to get the latest software from Adobe, and then when you simply need to open a PDF file right before a presentation, the application won't open.
Found one discussion that advises to uninstall and the reinstall. Seriously? And I need to download Adobe's special "the regular uninstaller process does not work so use our alternate" tool?

Same problem running CS6 Master Collection Acrobat X Pro on Win 7 64-bit. Had just created a .pdf from a webpage by printing to Adobe PDF. Gave the file a name, saved it, it popped up on the screen just fine and then Acrobat promptly disappeared. Now Acrobat will not launch. Have tried the usual gambit of solutions to no avail. Seems obvious to me something in the last update FUBAR'd Acrobat.
Sorry for the blow by blow that is about to occur below, but I am trying to give as much info as possible so that maybe Adobe will get this fixed ASAP.
I just deleted the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db file. That does allow acrobat to launch, but it launches to the EULA agreement (see screenshot).
I click "accept" and it there is no animation on the button. It acts like it is not accept the selection, but if you wait a couple seconds you get this screen:
Apparently I have a trial good for 89+ years :^)... anyway, click to License This Software and get this screen:
I select Sign In and it takes it a bit, but eventually gets to provide serial number screen:
Of course, guess where my license number is? Yep, saved as a .pdf.... so I exited out of the license page (NOT backed out) and restarted it with the intent of using it in trial mode to get the license number I need. When it launched, it went to the splash screen and seemed okay, so I open a file and it seems fine.
I then click help>product registration. It brings me to the CS6 Master Collection screen and asked for me to enter my adobe id/pw. Upon doing that, I receive this
And it appeared to be working now. Acrobat is showing me it is at version 10.3.1
But it is buggy. I can work in a file for a few minutes then the Master Collection Trial page already shown above pops up, my license status that was okay a few minutes ago is now back to "Complete/Update Adobe ID profile and we are in a loop of following the above steps over and over. *sigh*
I've got things to get done today! I'm going to use it for a while and see what happens.
I'll post an update later.
If anyone has any ideas or further info please let me know.
Thanks!

Acrobat 10 won't start

On a Win7pro/64 machine I've been trying to upgrade form Acrobat 9 to 10. I uninstalled 9, installed 10, and at first got the dialog "internal error occured" then another dialog with a runtime error. I'm installing from an education licensing disk which I think only has 10.0.0, so after the error I downloaded the 10.1.3 update and ran it. Still won't start, but now all I get is "an internal error occurred." The runtime error is gone. And the program still won't start. Here's the details from administrative events.
