Cannot completely uninstalled trial version of Adobe Acrobat Professional 9

Hi,
I've downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 as a 30-day trial. When 15 days or so have passed, I've decided to discontinue my use and uninstalled the trial version via Control Panel - Programs and Features. However the program refuses to go away. When I install Acrobat Reader 9 it tells me that I already have Adobe Acrobat Pro and should decide to choose one as the default PDF file-handler. Now once in a while when I open a PDF file the Pro trial window would pop-up and ask me to enter a key or choose the trial version. When I choose the trial version it then says that an error has occurred when loading the trial information, or something like that.
I've looked for the Pro folder/files throughout my computer and found nothing. I've tried Microsoft's Windows Install Clean Up utility and removed Pro from the program list there, however that did not change anything. I still get the trial pop-up and the error message that follows (see attachments).
Any thoughts?

If the executable is removed, then it is not possible to run it anymore.  Therefore the uninstall did not really remove everything.
Can you check if there is anything left in Program Files\Common Files\Adobe?
If you really cannot find what's running, try Process Monitor from Sysinternals to see what's running when you open a PDF file.

  • How to uninstall trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro from a mac?

    I installed a trial version Adobe Acrobat Pro from the Creative Cloud list on my Mac Pro 10.7.5. First, although I was supposed to have a 30 day free trial, it expired immediately. Worse, every time I try to open my former Adober Acrobat, I get prompted to buy a yearly subscription to Acrobat pro and cannot use my older version. I have tried various ways to uninstall the Acrobat Pro version and to get back to normal, with no success. Anyone out there to help or must I spend money on an international call to ask Adobe what to do? It seems that they have shut down their "chat" service. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Robert

    This is not a Technical Communications Suite product. If this is AE CS4 you can try the CS4 Clean Script:

    If that fails, try the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool.
    If that fails try the AE forum.

  • How do I get rid of the trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and now my trial is over.  I can no longer view any .pdf files on my computer--every time I download a .pdf file it just takes me to this site and tries to get me to buy the product.  I tried to uninstall this program, and when I do it says, "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transforms are valid."  Please help me get rid of this so that I can re-install Adobe Reader so that I can view my own files!

    When I go to remove it, it says, "Error applying transforms.  Verify that the specified transforms are valid" & will not let me remove it.  Do you know of anything else I could try?

  • Downloading Trial Version of Adobe Acrobat XI

    I downloaded my trial version of Adobe Acrobat xi and cannot run it because it keeps asking for a serial number.  What do I do? Where can I get a serial number?

    Is there a "continue trial" type of option provided anywhere?
    You only need a serial number to activate it after purchasing it, not for the trial version.  If it is indicating that the trial has already been used and you never installed the trial before, there are circumstancxes when that can happen and there is no way to fix it. 
    Trial mode expires prematurely

  • I downloaded a Trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI.  Now the trial has runout and I've signed up for a subscription.  However, my software still needs a serial number.  How can I get a serial number for the installed software?

    There is no serial number and you don't need one. What you need for a subscription is to SIGN IN within Acrobat, so it knows the subscriptions you own.

  • Trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    Is it possible to successfully deploy a trial version of Adobe Acrobat 9 across a Windows network? Can a group of users open a single file from inside Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 at the same time, rename it and work from the individual copied file?

    To be absolutely clear, it would be possible to start with a common pdf practice file, if a trial copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 was installed on EACH local machine, which would then open as a read-only file, which would be need to be resaved for each individual user?
    What each trial version would continue to do, if I'm not mistaken, is that the popup of the trial version information offering a purchase option of the full version would continue to appear at scheduled intervals.
    Are these two scenarios correct? Thanks for the help!

  • I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am do

    I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am doing wrong. Have project I need to submit today. Please help.

    Unfortunately, what you describe isn't a common problem. It is pretty surprising, but hopefully it's a simple as clicking or pressing the wrong thing. So, to find this out we need to know, step by step, at the most basic level, what you click or type EXACTLY and what you see. That should let us get to the cause.

    Hi Atul,
    Thanks for answering my post and giving me these recommendations to try, it is greatly appreciated.
    I tried your first suggestion and it still does not work.
    I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on a Mac Pro.
    I have already installed the Creative Cloud panel on my computer, but when I try to download a trial version of Adobe Muse from the Adobe site, it just shows a continual looping thinking icon in the Apps section with no other information.
    Thanks for all your help,

  • I cannot install the trial version of Adobe Muse

    I cannot install the trial version of Adobe Muse. When I am in the Apps section of Creative Cloud it just shows the thinking animated icon.

    Hi Alistair,
    Can you please elaborate on the issue or help us with a screenshot?
    Please check your firewall settings or try the following steps :
    Rename the opm.db file.
    Close the Creative Cloud application if it's running.
    Navigate to the OOBE folder.
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac OS: /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
    Rename the opm.db file to opm_old.db
    Launch Creative Cloud
    Regards,

  • Trial version of adobe acrobat 9 pro

    My question is, I am trying to get the program to the read a loud feature, How do I do that? I have text on a PDF file and I need to hear it read to me.

  • Is it safe to uninstall older versions of Adobe Acrobat?

    It is safe to remove older versions of Adobe Acrobat?  I currently have:
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Prof
    Adobe Acrobat X Standard
    Adobe Acrobat XI Standard
    The reason I ask is I keep getting Update Adobe Acrobat X and it error's off.  So, is it safe to remove 8 and X?
    Thanks!

    yes, each installation is independent of the others.  in addition, there are known issues when trying to use some of the older acrobat versions together like you're doing.

  • Cannot get a trial version of Adobe Illustrator

    I want to try Adobe Illustrator; I downloaded Adobe Creative Cloud in order to get a trial version of Adobe Illustrator. I downloaded it, updates included. At the end of the process I double click on Adobe Illustrator app and I get an error message: Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application. That I obviously did several time. Always the same error message. I also used the Clean tool, and also un- and re-installed Creative Cloud, no way. Any suggestions? MacBookPro OS 10.9.3

    There is a forum specifically for download & install problems here:
    Downloading, Installing, Setting Up
    They might be of more help to you in sorting this out.
    Good luck.
