Adobe Reader 8.1.1 - How to Uninstall ?

I recently downloaded Adobe 8.1.1 and have not been able to open pdf files on other browsers. I have tried to change(repair)the download, then tried removing the download hoping that re-installing would help. However,when I hit Start, go to Settings, then Control Panel, then Add / Remove programs, and press "Change" I get the following message:
"The patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
When I press "Remove" the following message appears:
"This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
I got the free download of 8.1.1 from the adobe site, how do I "verify that the patch package exists or if it's valid" ?

Augustine,
Adobe Reader 8.1.1 has been "CORRUPTED"
Adobe Reader 8.1.2 is supposed to remedy this
I use "Google"
Type in "WINDOWS INSTALLER CLEANUP UTILITY"
When "results" appear-look for "support,microsoft.com" DESCRIPTION OF WINDOWS INSTALLER CLEANUP UTILITY" AND "click"
When page opens, scroll down to "Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility package now. (You can read instructions or not)
When "File Download-Security Warning" box appears "click" RUN
After download completes--Open "Programs" on your computer and look for "WINDOWS INSTALL CLEANUP"--Click to open
When box opens look for 8.1.1 (or) Adobe 8.1.1 and "click" (HIGHLIGHT)WARNING--DO NOT HIGHLIGHT ANY OTHER PROGRAM!!!!
At bottom of box Click "REMOVE"
Go back to "CONTROL PANEL" "ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS" Adobe Reader should have been removed.
Now download ADOBE READER 8.1.2
Let me know how it works out

IE11はAdobe Reader XIにまだ正式対応していないみたいですね。
参考フォーラム：
Re: IE11にAcrobat XIのアイコンが表示されません…
Adobe ReaderはX以前とX以降で大きく機能が変わっているので
X以降から発生している現象のように思います。
もうお試し頂いているかもしれませんが、Adobe Reader XI（11.0.09）が

adobe reader 11.0.10 windows 7 home edition Everything was working fine, but I got a "communication not available error" and rebooted the wifi. The next day, when I went to print, after selecting the number of copies etc, I clicked on "print". The next screen is the progress report "Printing xxx.file.", and nothing happens. The computer is completely lock and I have to reboot. I can print excel and word files, but no pdf files, either from the internet or one of my documents. I have tried saving the internet pages and then printing later, but that doesn't work either. One suggestion was to go to edit, preferences, security enhanced and turn off enable. That worked for one document ( a test) from my computer, but when I tried another file, no go

Adobe Reader does not work-how to use adobe reader on Lion

I was trying to print an international label on eBay via Adobe Reader, and was very dissapointed and shocked that it does not work on Lion.
I was so happy that I figured out how to use adobe reader on Lion, and hope I can help anyone else who is frusterated too.
Step 1. Download Google Chrome
Step 2. Printe your international label, or whatever you need to do that uses Adobe Reader

Thanks Shelly! I too was having trouble and thought it was something wrong with my Mac. I still have a big though. When I try to print the saved pdf file, I get a pop-up that says "The document could not be printed. There are no selected pages to print" even though I am looking at the complete doc. It's there and in my print prompt "all pages" are selected to print. The way I got around this, is by emailing the pdf file to a gmail address and viewing the attachment via Google Docs. It loads perfectly and prints without a problem.

Adobe Reader And SharePoint Workflow: How To?

Hi all,
We are using SharePoint 2010 as our collaboration portal.
Our Marketing department wants to use feedback workflows on PDF documents.
The PDF documents can be commented and all reviewers should be able to do that in turn or parallel.
We can start the workflow on the PDF document and users can edit the file by entering comments.
However, as soon as someone has entered comments into the PDF file the corresponding SharePoint workflow tasks are cancelled?!
It appears that when commented, Adobe Reader does not change the exisiting document, but deletes the old one (hence the cancellation of the workflow tasks by SharePoint) and consolidates the comments into a physical new document?!
Does anyone know how to fix this and what is best practice in these scenario's?
Much obliged,
Vladja

Hi SAMSUNG,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the full path of a document in a list workflow.
You can set the variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the document. The screenshot is my testing. In my testing (in the red area), when the title of a document was equal to the tile of the current item, set a variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the
document. I used ‘Log to history list’ to check the value of the variable in Workflow History .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

My computer is infected with adware. I deleted Adobe Reader thinking it might have the adware in it. Since the problem started the same day as Adobe Reader was installed. How do I reinstall Adobe Reader?

My computer is infected with Adware. I deleted Adobe Reader thinking it might have the adware in it. Since the problem started the same day as Adobe Reader was installed. Reader wasn't the problem. So how do I get Reader reinstalled?
And if anyone knows how to delete WebProtect ads, please let me know. It's actually getting worse.

Hi frostedinsilver,
I'm sorry to hear that. What a hassle.
You can download Reader from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.

Adobe Reader 9.4.6: how to skip print dialog

Hello,
in our company we implement a freestanding self-services kiosk project.
The kiosk uses a browser, which links with internal application server, which contains the required information.
There's also an option to print some documents via Adobe ActiveX PlugIn. Explored some versions of Adobe Reader, we considered that the most appropriate is version 9.4.6. We strongly needed to set Adobe Reader so that the only clickable button in upper toolbar is “Print” button, and also side navigation panel is hidden (because pdf file opens in the frame within the kiosk system page). We've succeeded with this issue.
But now we experience one more problem. When the user clicks the "Print" button, the print dialog appears. Is it possible to choose default printing settings and start printing avoiding print dialog by some standard options?
Or maybe you can provide us an event, which initiates Adobe print dialog, so that we can use it to fire the OK within java script.
Best regards
Anton.

Looks like you need a silent print, take a look at:

The steps are for Acrobat. You'll need to see if they work with Reader.

Is it legal to burn the adobe reader software if so how do i?

My grandfather has a computer but no internet access. He uses his computer solely for geneology, word processing, and organizational purposes. I recently found some historic public domain documents that i know that he would be very interested in; however, they are in pdf form and for him to view the documents he would have to have a pdf reader and as i said earlier he can't simply download the software. If anyone has any advice both my grandfather and myself would greatly appreciate. I only want to download and burn the reader software and possibly an older version because i am not sure his system can handle the specified requirements for 9.0.
Many thanks,
Coryishappy

What OS is he running?
You can get Reader 7 at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/7x/7.1.0/enu/AdbeRdr710_en_US.exe but if we know the OS, we can suggest the best version to run.
Oh and yes, for what you are using it for, it's legal.

Not able to open adobe reader 8.1.2, upgrade or uninstall

I am using Windows 7 operating system. My adobe was working a couple of months ago, but now I get an error when I try to open it. It is not able to find the network location (?) and gives me a repeated fatal error. I have tried to uninstall the original program but it won't allow me to do that either, the same if I try to upgrade. I need this for both school and work. Any ideas?

Can you post a screenshot of the error message that you are seeing?

How do I uninstall adobe reader from my iPad 4?

I can only preview first page of documents on a website that says I should be able to open them in adobe reader. how can I fix this? Do I need to uninstall adobe reader and reinstall? How is that done on an iPad? I did update the reader, turn off iPad and restart. Made no difference. Thanks.

I suspect that the particular type of your documents may not be supported by the Reader mobile products. (However, you should be able to open them in the desktop version of Reader on your Windows/Mac computer.)
Do you see an error message? Could you provide a screenshot and add it to your next reply?
Thank you for your help.
