Deleting Adobe Reader 8 and 9 after Upgrading to 10

I upgraded several months ago but noticed that Adobe Reader 8 and 9 are still in my Adobe folder under programs. Can I delete those folders/files or does Reader 10 need them??

The standard advise is to rewmove all traces of previous versions of
Reader before proceeding to a new install. If the previous versions have
not been removed, the standard advise is to remove all trace
s of Reader (all versions), and then rein
stalling the one you want. To eliminate
Reader, you can follow the procedure described here:

How do i delete adobe reader and stop paying for it

i want to delete adobe reader and stop paying for it

Or are you paying for any of the Acrobat.com services (CreatePDF, ExportPDF, SendNow)? If so, contact Adobe Customer Support by chat or phone.

Issue with Adobe Reader/IE9 after upgrade

Hi,
We have an application that displays an interactive PDF (generated using Forms ES2) in an IFrame within the browser window (IE). There is a button in a different frame that passes a String[] to this PDF using the "postMessage" Javascript method on the PDF object. The setup was working fine all these years in Win XP + IE8 + Adobe Reader 9. But when we upgraded to Win 7 + IE9 + Adobe Reader X, now on click of the button, when the pdf.postMessage is getting executed, IE9 crashes with error "Internet Explorer has Stopped" working. Has any one else encoutered this kind of problem before?
I tried doing some research. The issue seems to be with IE9, but I couldnt figure out why this is happening. Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Firefox tells me to update Adobe Reader and after I try to do that Adobe says I already have the most current version.

Firefox shows that my Adobe Reader needs to be updated to version 11.0.84 and when I try to do the Adobe Reader update, it tells me I already have it.
I also did a refresh of Firefox and I still have the same problem. I am using Windows XP SP3. I do not know what to do. Thank you. Please tell me what I should do next.
Thank you.

Thanks, a few people seem to have encountered the same problem.

Can't view pdf; getting message to launch Adobe Reader and sign user agreement that I can't find.

I'm trying to view my son's 1098-T on his college's website, but keep getting the message "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser."
When I launch Adobe Reader, I can't find a user agreement to accept. I have tried relaunching both Google Chrome and Adobe Reader several times to no avail. I've also redownloaded and tried to reinstall Adobe Reader, but it got a message it was already installed. I previously had problems getting the pdf to fill (the form was blank and didn't have my student's info), and reinstalled Adobe Reader before I realized I had to disable Google Chrome's pdf viewer, which I have since done.

Sorry. I have a Mac with OS X 10.9.5
I've since totally deleted Adobe Reader and reinstalled it but have the same problem anytime I try to view a PDF with Adobe Reader. The college website won't let me save the form, only view it. If I use another pdf viewer the form won't fill with my son's info; I think it has to be Adobe Reader for some reason

Cannot Delete Adobe Reader 9 Installer after failed download

I tried to download Adobe Reader 9 and the installation froze around 83%. After multiple attempts I tried downloading an older version (Adobe 8) and it worked but the installation folder for Adobe 9 is still on my desktop and it will not let me delete it. I have already tried using the Windows Install cleanup tool but it did not work. Any other ideas on how I can get rid of this installation program?

Thanks.. I managed to find a way to make it work.. I had no Adobe Reader in my list of programs when I went to Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove.. I took a chance and deleted Acrobat.com.. that allowed me to reload the latest v of Reader. I hope it didn't mess anything else up.

I had same situation. Was able to delete by the following: (don't know why)
In Windows Explorer dragged the Adobe AIR folder from Desktop to another folder (which
removed it from the desk top display). Then just deleted it from the other folder.
Hope it works for you.

I've deleted Adobe Reader 11 and rebooted and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11 and I still get the error message that 'Adobe Reader is blocked because it is out of date'. Using Windows XP with the latest updates (SP3).

Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
Google Chrome is a problem:
if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version. Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
My suggestion; use a different browser!

Can I delete Adobe Reader after purchasing Adobe Acrobat?

Hey all....
I just purchased a Fujitsu ScanSnap that came with Adobe Acrobat. With that, I though I would be able to delete Adobe reader off of my computer thinking that Acrobat would now take over for all .PDF's I wanted to look at, but for some reason I'm getting an error and I had to reinstall Adobe Reader- Even now when I open a .PDF- it opens with reader- if I want to open with Acrobat, I have to open Acrobat and then open the file from the menu bar. Any help on how to get rid of reder would be appreciated!
Thanks!

From what I understand, you uninstalled Reader. However, Acrobat had already been installed. When you uninstalled Reader, you broke Acrobat and would need to do a repair. They share some files and the Acrobat uninstall is not good about checking those files. That is why things started working again when you reinstalled Reader, effectively fixing Acrobat. As graffiti said, having both is not recommended. I would suggest you uninstall Reader again and then repair Acrobat. You can also uninstall both and reinstall Acrobat. Be careful about the uninstalls on Acrobat so that you also do the proper deactivation, not reducing your number of permitted installed.

How to view PDF documents because say you must launch adobe reader and accept the end user license

I have a question about to display the PDF documents, could you tell me how can I display it?, I have this message that say before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser

I've got the same issue and I want to use Preview to read pdfs on Safari. At some point I had Acrobat Reader installed, but deleted it and everything associated with it. However no matter what, I get: "Before launching pdf documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the end user license agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
This means I am forced to use Reader, when I don't want to. There seems no way to default to Preview to read pdfs on Safari, even after deleting Adobe Reader completely.
Anyone have a clue how to fix this?

Adobe Reader and Photoshop extensions default to preview in Mountain Lion.

My pdf files and all my images that I have designated to Adobe Reader and Photoshop in the "Get Info" window of these files... continually Default to Preview after a few days. This must stop... I never had this issue in Snow Leopard or Lion! Yes... I do hit the "Change All" button each time. Apple and Adobe seem to be at WAR over Preview, and we are payng the price!

For Adobe Reader, try deleting the application, downloading it and reinstalling. I just did this and the first time I opened it, I was asked if I wanted to make it the default.

Why can't I open PDF files on my iMac. I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license, as instructed then quit the application and relaunched it and I still can't view the PDF document. The screen comes out black. Please advice. Thanks

Why can I view PDF files from the Web on my iMac even after I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license agreement.I then quit the application relaunched it, as instructed snd still the PDF document comes out blank or black. Please advice. Thanks

Are you saying that Adobe Reader or Preview can't read PDF file that you download? Or, are you saying that you can't display PDF files in your Safari broweer? If the latter, then delete any AdobePDFViewer plugins you find in /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and restart. That should allow Safari to display PDFs in its window. BTW, that's the worst place to view them. Better to download them and use Adobe Reader or Preview.

I am unable to update my album art since I commenced using match (and after upgrading to Yosemite). How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

I am unable to update my album art on my iMac since I started using Match (and after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3). A message advises that it's not possible to removed old artwork if it's embedded. How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

Normally artwork recovered with iTunes is stored as a separate artwork file and iTunes refers to that file to display artwork when you click on a track. However, if you then copy the file to another player the artwork file is left behind and the track will not display the artwork on the other player. To get around this it is possible to embed the artwork in the music file itself so it always travels with the file. Artwork can be embedded by you or files from third party sources may arrive with embedded artwork. iTunes apparently now won't replace artwork for such files. You can accomplish this by completely deleting artwork for a file or set of files in Get Info, then getting iTunes to fetch artwork which will then be set as a reference file rather than being embedded.
I use an old iTunes so unless you are using an ancient iTunes it won't help for me to give you great details. To erase artwork I simply get info on a series of files and check the box next to the artwork box without adding any artwork and close. To do it for single file I Get Info, go to the artwork display tab and click delete. Here's a Windows reference for a newer iTunes (but the "old Get Info" reference is for early iTunes 12 and no longer works with newer):I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12

FireFox still identifies pdfs as Foxit documents even though I'm opening them in Adobe Reader and uninstalled the Foxit trial and FF plugin years ago.

When I click on a pdf file link in FireFox, the Windows open file dialogue opens, saying "You have chosen to open [filename]
which is: Foxit Reader PDF Document [filesize]
from: [author]
What should FireFox do with this file?
[selected radio button] Open with Adobe Reader
THERE IS NO PROBLEM OPENING THE FILE. It opens in Adobe Reader, in a window outside of Firefox, which is exactly what I have it set up to do. The problem is that it identifies the file as a "Foxit Reeader PDF Document," even though I uninstalled the Foxit trial and associated FireFox plugin ages ago, and Foxit does not appear anywhere on my computer in any way, shape or form (that I have access to). No Foxit in the file associations for Windows, or in the applications associations for FireFox. There is no Foxit plugin installed, and I even went and deleted what was left of the Foxit directory. Yet pdfs are still identified in FireFox as Foxit files, so FireFox must be storing this old info somewhere. How do I get rid of it?
BTW, files open in a browser window inside the browser in the other 3 browsers I have installed, so there is no open file dialogue, and I can't tell whether there is the same problem. When I check the properties of a pdf outside of FireFox (by rightclicking a pdf on my desktop, for example), it is identified as an Adobe Reader file. I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. I have two Adobe Acrobat plugins showing in FireFox (10.1.8.24 and 11.0.5.3). Should I have two? No plugins, extensions, or anything else by Foxit.

Most likely this information is in the mimeTypes.rdf file, which can accumulate a lot of obsolete information which occasionally does cause problems. You can rename the file and have Firefox rebuild it from scratch with only the current applications detected (as far as Firefox can tell from the Windows Registry).
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Restart Firefox. Presumably now it will forget all about Foxit. Unfortunately, it may also have forgotten some of your application preferences, but hopefully those won't take too long to reestablish.
