Can't uninstall version 10.? of Acrobat Reader

Some of our users have been having trouble with Acrobat Reader 10, so our IT folks were uninstalling it from our pc's.  For some reason, when they removed it from my pc something wasn't uninstalled completely. I also have Acrobat Pro version 11 on my pc, but I need the reader too so I can test forms as if I was an end-user. IT was able to install version 11 of the reader, but after I use it once, my pc is locked up until I power it off.  We tried the Microsoft clean-up utility and that didn't solve the problem. 
Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks!!

Some things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

    I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

    If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
    I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.

  • Why I can't put signature in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?

    Why I can't put signature in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC? I can use a picture as a signature in Adobe Reader XI, why Adobe Acrobat Reader DC doesn't have this option?

    I can find it when the language is english, but when I change the language to Chinese, it disappeared.

  • Can I uninstall version 9 and put back version 8 ?

    I upgraded to version 9 of itunes but I don't like it, I liked the old show by genre on home page instead of the new itunes peddling particular artist and albums. Can I uninstall version 9 and put back version 8 ? does this matter to my iphone ?

    You can go back to version 8, but it isn't easy. iTunes 9 has already upgraded your library and you'll have to find your backup library to use with iTunes 8.
    I have found that the iTunes 9 store interface offers some advantages, but it takes some exploring to find everything. You can use the down arrows that appear as you mouse over each category at the top of the iTunes store home page to display whatever you like. For example, display a page of only music in a particular genre:
    Here is a tutorial in using the iTunes 9 store: http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/#video-explore
    If you really want to go back to iTunes 8, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2157090&tstart=180

  • Can java script be executed inside Acrobat reader 7

    Hello All
    I am quire new to Acrobat. Please tell me if I can execute a java script in Acrobat reader.
    I am using itext library to add java script to a pdf and opening the pdf in reader and get the error
    NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
    Global.addWatermarkFromText:1:Document-Level:0000000000000000
    First question can I execute this javascript with Reader itself. If yes how should i get rid of this error

    The Acrobat SDK cannot be used to change the information shown for
    each method in the quick bar in the documentation. If that says the
    method does not work in Reader, then it does not work in Reader...
    I do not think there is any similar method for Reader (adding a
    watermark) - very much an Acrobat function. Unless you can pre-create
    the watermark as a form field, so you only have to change the text at
    runtime.

  • Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

    We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser"  option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
    I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
    I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

    Hi,
    It looks like you do not have access to the registry key mentioned i.e. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MSFS.
    This might be due to the fact that you may not be added to the Administrators group or the registry key has been denied access explicitly to a group that you may be part of.
    People in my network setup were facing the same issue, and we fixed the same using Microsoft's "subinacl" tool. You can follow the below mentioned steps to rectify your issue as well:
    1. Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool fromhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en
    2. Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
    3. Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Start -> Run and type "cmd" and click OK)
    4. In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:
        i. cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
       ii. subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)
    You should see some processes happening on your screen. After the process ends, retry the operation you were originally trying to perform. Hopefully, they should succeed now.

  • Can I certify a document with Acrobat Reader ?

    Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to certify a document with Acrobat Reader. The sign toolbar button "Certify" in Reader is always disabled even if the document has not been signed. Thanks in advance.

    I just tried it.   Even saved a document with Reader Extended PDF and a signature field (which you can only do with Acrobat).  I opened in Reader but could not certify it (although I could digitally sign in).  I can certify in Acrobat.
    It's possible you can certify a Portfolio (container for PDF docs) using Reader.  However, right now that's not working with the current version of Acrobat or Reader.  (Adobe engineering is working on that - see my recent posting).
    It's also possible that the bug with certifying/signing Portfolios is also preventing other actions from happening.  I don't know.

  • How do I install latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader?

    I am unable to open two electronic messages from my bank.  They suggested I install the latest verson of Adobe Acrobat Reader.  How do I do that?

    You can download its full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ 
    It would be better to remove all traces of previous versions of Reader before installing the one you want.

  • Can't open files in Adobe Acrobat/Reader

    Why can't I open a PDF file in Adobe/Acrobat Reader? What do I do to fix the problem? My software list has Adobe Reader 11.0.02 and 9.3.1.
    I've updated.

    Adobe is not an Apple product.  Post in Adobe forums.  It's where the Mac users hang out at. 

  • How do I create PDF so that user can insert a placed file using Acrobat Reader

    I have just upgraded to CS4 which has Adobe Acrobat Pro. I am creating PDF's within Pro, adding text fields and buttons for customers to access and fill in using Adobe Reader. This has worked great but I would also like to add a box with text saying 'insert logo here' and when the customer clicks on it then searches their system for the logo, selects and places within the PDF. Can anyone help me on this one?

  • Can not accept license after installing Acrobat Reader 8 and removing 6

    To whom it may concern,
    after installing Acrobat Reader 8, removing Acrobat Reader 6, and starting Acrobat Reader 8 the license agreemnet window appeared as aspected. The problem is it displays everything as far as I can see correctly, but it is not working in any way. I have to close the windows by clicking on the white cross in the title bar. I then receive the message, that I did not accept the license and therefore Acrobat Reader will be closed. And that happens when I click ok.
    Hopefully someone over here as a tip who I can proceed. Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,

    Dear Claudio and Shari,
    Liam's suggestions have been of value for me. The Acrobat Reader is up and running.
    Thank's!
    @Shari
    I'm using Firefox as well. An the tip and tool form Liam helped.
    Just give it a try. The Explorer is used by Windows for more than a simple browser.

  • Can not longer print pdf from Acrobat Reader

    All of a sudden I can no longer print pdf files to my printer.  It is shared by all the computers in our household and any time I try to print from any of the computers now, instead of printing it creates a prn file instead.  I can find no option in the printer properties where selecting or deselecting something to enable or disable printing to files.  All the systems are either MS Vista or Windows 7.  Though there are commands that allow sending a prn to a network printer, they require a named print server, which we don’t have on our peer-to-peer network.
    It is interesting that I can create a pdf file in Photoshop on my system and it will print from Photoshop.  I can also print the “problematic” documents for Photoshop, which I only have on one system. But anything created in Acrobat will not print natively from Acrobat reader.

    In the Print dialog click on Advanced, then uncheck Print to File.

  • How can we create a plugin for Acrobat reader to convert a Pdf to Excel format?

    Hi all,
    I need to convert a pdf to excel format ! is it possible by a plugin in acrobat reader.
    I know that it can be done with Acrobat Professional and i have to do the same with the Acrobat Reader?
    Does the Acrobat Reader support file conversion plugins?
    Sreejesh K V

    Hi,
    I don't know if Reader supports the onversion but you can easily check that : open an Excel file with Reader and check the result.
    With Acrobat Pro when you open a document using Acrobat then it's automatically converted. If this functionality is supported with Reader you will have the same behavior.
    Once it's supported you just have to open your document using Acrobat.exe (or Reader.Exe)
    My mistake I understood the opposite. To check that Acrobat Reader support the conversion you just have to check in the Reader interface.
    Regards,
    Joe
