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 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 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!!

Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended Will Not Install

I have the Adobe Master Collection CS5 installed, but needed to use some Acrobat features which I understood were only available in the Pro Extended version, so am trying now to install Extended onto the PC.
The installation however keeps stopping saying I "already have a more functional product installed" ... Acrobat on this PC is the Pro version, but is not Extended ... is there a way to get it to install without removing the current version and all its settings?

Since you have CS5 master collection installed- it comes with Acrobat 9.3 and Acrobat Pro Extended,
that you are trying to install is version no. 9.0. So when you launch the installer, you get the message that you have
more recent product already installed.
For installing Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0, you'll have to deactivate and uninstall Acrobat 9.3 and then install Acrobat Pro Extended.

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI will not install.

I bought and paid for it. I was taken to the page with a download now button. It downloaded the installed. I opened it and hit all the OK and Yes buttons. It loads very slowly to about 70% and then stops and gives an Error code# of 1321 which says the installer has insufficient privileges for files that, when I check, don't even exist.

Hi there xylem,
I'm sorry that you haven't been able to run your new copy of Acrobat. It sounds like you're running into a permissions issue. Please see this document: Error 1321 or 1309 | Install | CS4, CS5, CS5.5 | Windows
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Adobe acrobat pro 8 does not recognize scanner

This question will probably get responses most quickly if posted in Adobe's own forums, since it's about an Adobe product and not the iMac itself.

With the subscription you sign in with your Adobe ID that you used to order the subscription. By installation code, I assume you mean serial number. You do not get one with the subscription, but use your Adobe ID.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 does not start anymore

This happened to me three times now. One time Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 is working properly for weeks. It crashes once and after that it does not start anymore without providing a message or clue.
What I used to do is remove CS6 completely and reinstall it. But this is tedious. Just uninstalling Acrobat Pro and reinstalling it doesn't do the trick.
My guess is that a setting is stopping Acrobat Pro from starting. Is it possible to reset Acrobat Pro settings to the factory default? I've already remove the folders under
%LOCALAPPDATA% \adobe\acrobat and
%APPDATA% \adobe\acrobat
but this doesn't help.

Ok. This occasion I had a bit of time on my hand and found a solution yuhu!
Make sure you have access to you license key as you have to enter it new after this procedure
1) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
2) Delete or rename the file cache.db
3) Open Acrobat Pro, you will be asked to license the software again under your Adobe-ID again.
4) If asked to connect to your Adobe-ID and re-enter the license key.
Now Acrobat Pro is working (as are all the other CS6 applications.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X will no longer start up.

I have been using my version of Adobe Acrobat Pro X for a while with no problems but suddenly today, after I restarted my computer, the program will no longer start up. What would be the best way to fix this problem?

We can't know. You're not telling us anything about your system or the specific error/ behavior you see.

Adobe Acrobat Pro text box not printing and is hidden under box highlight.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.13. I am completing a form with text box throughout the document. I can no get the text box to printing and the text is hidden under box highlight. I have tried printing with the print feature 'Comments & Forms/ Document and Markups' with no luck.

It's doing that because you have field highlighting enabled. YOu can either turn it off or make the field read-only (if it's only used for display and not entry).
