Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional - will not uninstall

I tried to install this program with Windows 7, 64-bit numerous times and it would not work 100%. I even downloaded the "patch" file for windows 7, but the program would freeze every single time I opened it. I have since reverted back to just using Adobe reader, but CANNOT uninstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. The uninstall completely freezes about 60-65% of the way through, and I just end up closing it down. However, I cannot install any new software on my computer because the installer application keeps saying that another program is being installed (Adobe) when in actuallity it is NOT!
Pleeease provide any help as to how I can uninstall this program. The program is still listed when I got to the control panel and uninstall a program. I have tried Modify, Repair, & Remove all unsuccessfully. I have deleted all files from the C: drive except the "Resource" folder, which I keep getting Folder Access Denied and that I "require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder." Well, I am the administrator and the ONLY user on my computer, so I don't know what that is all about. I am beyond frustration with this, the microsoft forum told me to check here for assistance.

Hi meanwire,
I had a similar problem .
Here is the solution that worled for me. try it out:
1. Install Acrobat 8.0 (which i think you have already done)
2. Now go to the following link and download Acrobat 8.1 update
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3662
3. Apply the downloaded 8.1 update manually
4. Once the manual update is successful launch Acrobat and do Acrobat menu Help ->Check for updates
Hope it works for you!!
Regards,

Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 will not uninstall

I am helping a customer who had a hard drive problem. Using WinXP recover I was able to get him back and then we used a cloning program to move everthing to a new drive. It all came up and mostly is running fine, except for a strange Acrobat problem.
He has a fully licenensed version of Acrobat Pro 7. When we tried to install it, we got errors. So next I went to programs remove and removed the Acrobat 7 pro and even went so far as to remove most all registry entrees.
He went to open a pdf file and the 7 popped up and opened the file! So where is this thing? If I uninstalled it why is it coming up? We rebooted the computer after the uninstall and still this crazy program is opening. I checked the help file and sure enough it says Pro 7. The desktop icon is gone and the one in the start programs shows blank.
So then he also has a licensed ver of 9 pro. So we tried to install that and it said there is an older version - 7- on the computer do you wan to remove it? We said yes! Then it tried to install itself and the next message we go was that there was an older version of 9 on the computer and so it could not finish the install.
I searched everywhere including the registry and could not find anything that said ver 9!! Nothing! Nada!
So we tried installing ver 7 again but it said it was already on there and yet I cannot find it in add remove programs or anywhere else.
Can someone tell me what is going on here?
Thanks for you help

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8. It worked until 2 days ago, now it won't do anything. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with no luck.

32 or 64 bit system? Have you updated Acrobat? Was anything else installed between when it worked and did not? When you say AA 9 will not open, does that mean when you have selected it in the programs list (OK, that is the metro interface if you have not installed the desktop options -- 3rd party)?

Adobe Acrobat Pro X will not open PDFs

Hello,
My Adobe Acrobat Pro X will not open PDFs. This happens twice a month and is becoming extremely irritating. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing and a system restore. What can I do to make this problem go away?
Thank you.

To check that it is an Acrobat problem, open Acrobat from the programs list and try to open a PDF from the file menu. I suspect this will work fine from what I read into your post. I suspect that somehow your OS is changing file associations. In that case, right click on a PDF and select Open With>Select Default Program and then select Acrobat. Be sure the check box for default program has been checked.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

When I double click on the AA9 icon to initiate installation, it whirls away for a while then asks if I want to allow "this program to make changes to his computer?" I click Yes and it begins to process again for a few minutes. Then it displays the following Invalid Unicode file error message...and simply stops processing or installing. In that last process, it also reaches out for whatever reason and activates the magnifier tool in Windows.
I have thought that perhaps upgrading to a higher version of Windows might help, but who knows for sure?
P.S. – This is a brand new HP Pavilion dv6 series computer that is more than adequate to this task.
Thanks for your interest in helping!

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional does not accept the correct serial number after reinstallation

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional does not accept the correct serial number after reinstallation, what to do?

Thank you Bill. You could help me with the answer and the one in the other forum:
"Acrobat has a separate installation process and needs to be activated with your Adobe ID I think. The question on CC is really one for the folks in the CC forum (Adobe Creative Cloud), not the Acrobat forum".
I could resolve things with Adobe CC. I don´t need my old Acrobat 8, but I could finally install Acrobat XI Pro - and this time it seems to work, without permanently crashing down.
Thank you.

Acrobat 8 Professional will not Reactivate after installing new MBO

I have installed a new MBO and Processor. the HD has not changed all programs requiring reactivation have ahd no issues except Acrobat 8 pro
After installation I get to the screen were it asked for by serial number, I enter it and move on to next step------
Next screen says please identity the product you are upgrading from in the drop down box.
There are not products listed at all?????? its blank????
I called Activation support and was rudely told it was a general program concern and not problem.
I find this hard to believe since there activation module is kicking off the entire mess.
How do I get the program activated as it will only allow install to the the trial verison???
I will not take time off of work travel to sit on hold and work through this please either give me a written path to correct or refund the cost of the program
Thsi is the original store data when the program was bought

Dear vernon dygert,
Thank you for your purchase of downloadable Adobe products.
For your records, we have included your serial numbers below.
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (Windows,English)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Deactivations are counted. I would like to know the number of deactivations that are allowed. Without knowing, I would call Adobe before doing anything and have them put a notation in your file of what you are going to do so that if you have a problem with activation you have something to refer to.
I received a letter from Adobe about this and their assumption is that if you do too many deactivations then you are trying to run Adobe on more that 2 computers. In my case, I used to many deactivations screwing around with different raid configurations.

Adobe Acrobat XI Professional does not open.

Acrobat XI Professional does not open. Reader will not open PDF files. Using Windows 7 Professional on Dell Reader does not open PDF Files. I have uninstalled and re-installed twice.

Ran Window program compatibility. Changed settings for Acrobat X1 to always disable protected mode. Did not work. Received Following Error MESSAGES: BAD PARAMETER and Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server. Latest version of Acrobat XI. I downloaded from Creative cloud again this morning. Deleted programs and re-installed from creative Cloud - April 2, 2015.

I have installed a free download from an older version adobe reader and it will not uninstall?

Most programs unistall easily from the control panels add/remove programs icon application.
This older version i installed on my computer will not uninstall.
Any sggestions.
It tends to stall out or not uninstall at all.
There is not even an unistall choice available any more on the add/remove programs.

You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Download of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro will not complete

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and when I dowload it gets to a point where it says "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Set up will terminate." But nothing is installed. Am I missing something?
Help?

While the Standard version is not a more functional version, the message you are getting is one that you would get if you were trying to install Standard when Pro was installed. I can only think that you need to uninstall Standard if you want to have Pro.

Adobe acrobat dc app will not open [iOS]

Adobe Acrobat app will not open on iPad. Tried downloading another app and will not allow transfer from file sharing section in itunes

We've heard from many users that the desktop iTunes app often fails to copy files for some reasons.
You may find answers in the Apple Support site.
iPad - iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
Have you tried other desktop File Browser apps (such as iExplorer, iFunBox) instead of iTunes? For example, you can use iExplorer in the free demo mode for file system access. Other users had successfully copied files from/to iPad/iPhone using it.
Please give it a try and let us know if it works for you.

Adobe/Acrobat PDF documents will not open, tried community suggestions, version 9.4.4.235

Assorted websites may refer to links for documents to open, but I receive an error message stating that the Adobe/Acrobat loaded will not open them, I have tried all of the community suggestions to no avail

Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the following. 
#Fun Web Products 
#My Web Search Plugin 
#Smiley Central 
For the above three, see: http://www.pchell.com/support/mywebsearch.shtml
In addition, disable the Yahoo ActiveX plugin.
ActiveX is a Microsoft technology which is frequently targeted by criminals. Although the technology is reasonably safe when running inside Internet Explorer, it potentially exposes your system to attack when installed in Firefox.
You do not need it to access Yahoo in any event.
If the problem persists in spite of the above steps, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
'''N.B.''' You do not need to run "Hijack This" as described in the link since Firefox provides the option to disable plugins as mentioned above.

I have CS6 downloaded and paid for. However my Adobe Acrobat X Pro will NOT download! PLEASE HELP

I went through and did the download process and it only downloaded half of my Creative Suite 6. I REALLY need Acrobat X Pro for a project!!!

You need to install the Suite software thru the Suite itself. If you only get a partial download of the Suite then try again. Make sure you have cookies enabled and clear your cache. If it continues to fail try using a different browser.
CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Need volume license download for Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. Not available in downloads portal.

We have a volume license for Acrobat 9 professional, and I can see the key in my portal. We, however, do not have a disk for this license, nor is a download available in the downloads portal.
Since we have purchased this software, it would be nice to install it on our computer, especially since we have been recently upgrading hardware.
Thank you.

What did you do with the original media at the time of the volume license purchase? If it was a download, then where did you save it (and best backup the software)? There is a download for the regular AA9 distribution that can probably be found by searching this forum. It is a bit tricky to download, but can be done last I checked.
