Do I need two Adobe Readers?

Hi. My Adobe Reader X would not work, so I downloaded the newer, Abobe Reader XI. I seemed to me that I must only need one reader on my Windows XP, so I attempted to uninstall the earlier, Adobe X. It refuses to uninstall. Is this supposed to happen, or is the older one supposed to remain on my pc?
And, if I am supposed to uninstall it, what shall I do?
Thanks Very Much!

Upgrade from one Reader version to the next should automatically uninstall the previous version.  But possibly the older installation was somehow corrupted, and it could not complete the uninstall.
Download the Acrobat Removal Tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Run the tool multiple times, until all installed Reader versions are removed, then install the latest version again.
Note that the removal tool will also remove Acrobat, if it is installed on your system.

  • Can I register two Adobe IDs on one Laptop?

    Can I register two Adobe IDs on one laptop .... and, if so, how? I think this is what I need to do; we have two Sony Readers and just one laptop. Any advice would be much appreciated .... many thanks.

    Hello Jannette92
    You can authorize to play his and your content but you are going to want to stay away from singing in and out each others Apple ID in the same iTunes library as that can lock out one of the Apple ID’s for 90 days. The best way to handle that is to create a separate user and have it just for his stuff and then use your user for just your iPhone.

  • Can I use two adobe bundle(version) in one computer?

    It is possible to install two adobe version in one computer. Lets say cs3 and cs5 working in one mac.
    Please help me...

    Broadly, the answer is yes.
    However, you must bear in mind the issue of compatibility between MacOS and the various versions of the Adobe products.
    Both versions of CS you propose to use must be compatible with the current version of MacOS you have installed. I use CS4 and CS5 on MacOS 10.6.6 without any problems, but an older version such as CS3 run with CS5 may be stretching things a bit in that respect. Others may have specific experience and may be able to say one way or another.
    If you do have two versions running, you need to set your choice of which version opens if you double-click a file. The default is usually the latest version. Alternatively, you could drag and drop each file onto the icon of the version you want to use.

  • Two Adobe Acrobat Plugins In Firefox ... Want to Remove Outdated Plugin

    Creative Cloud Customer with all Adobe software current
    Windows 8 Pro 64 bit
    Adobe Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.2
    Firefox 19.0.1
    In looking at my Plugins, I notice that I have two Adobe Acrobat, one 11.0.0.379 and the other 11.0.2.0. The last one seems to match my Adobe Acrobat Pro version number. I assume the 11.0.0.379 is outdated?
    If I am correct in my assumption, how do I remove the the outdated plugin? Please be precise and detailed as I am still learning Windows 8. In the picture below, I have circled the plugin that I want to remove.
    I look forward to your assistance.

    Okay, well I just an interesting experience.
    Here's what happened:
    Deleted oldest program without remembering to deactivate first.
    After I uninstalled, I noticed that the program listings in the Control Panel were blank. That is, both the old and new versions were gone.
    In Firefox, the first entry of Adobe Acrobat 11.0.2.0 was gone, but the other listing of Adobe Acrobat 11.0.0.379 remained
    Thinking that I erred in not deactivating first, I used Adobe's Chat to reset my counter. The nice man asked me for my email and then my order number for Creative Cloud. After I logged into my Adobe account to retrieve the information, he promptly told me that he couldn't help me and that I needed to call back on Monday using a 1-800 number. I am puzzled why we bothered with the dance of email addresses and order numbers.
    Throwing caution to the wind, I decided to try to install Adobe Acrobat from my Creative Cloud account. The worst that happen is that it will fail to load.
    I successfully loaded Adobe Acrobat without difficulty. When I viewed the installed programs in the Control Panel, I saw that I had an outdated versions. See picture below.
    Intuitively, I would have expected programs downloaded from the cloud to be current.  So I went Help | Check for Updates
    I installed the updates. See picture below for Control Panel shot.
    Now, going back to Firefox, I am exactly at the starting point.
    In summary, the "older" version appears to stay regardless of whether Adobe Acrobat is installed or not. Perhaps it is attached to Adobe Reader XI. Or, perhaps, it's just there. Installing Adobe Acrobat XI Pro seems to add two programs to the list in the Control Panel. And it seems to have two Adobe Acrobat plugins in Firefox.
    I will call Adobe on Monday with regard to the Deactivate Issue. I have a hunch that it isn't not an issue. They might be able to tell that I uninstalled and reinstalled on the same computer.
    That's it for now.

  • Why does the system need two average costs - 'Average' and 'Average Rates'?

    Hello Gurus!
    The documentation does give definitions for 'Average' and 'Average Rates' cost types, but at a very basic level.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/A60725_05/html/comnls/us/cst/settask.htm
    I would like to know why the system needs two costs? How are they calculated and how are they used?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    I can suggest you a workaround that will help you keep only the 64-bit version of Photoshop.
    Visit "Uninstall a Program" in Windows 7 Control Panel and uninstall Photoshop completely.
    Visit this page and download trial version of Photoshop.
    Run the installer manually and choose the 64-bit version only (uncheck 32-bit version).
    Launch the product and specify your Adobe ID credentials.
    The product will switch to non-trial (i.e. full) mode when it recognizes your Adobe ID.

    Thank you; in order to provide help, we need to know if you are on Windows, Mac OS, or whatever other OS where Adobe Reader is supported.
    Now, you write that you have "two Adobe 9 programs listed"; where is that - under Add/Remove Programs, or on your disk?  Can you provide the exact names of these programs?
    On disk, Adobe Reader is usually installed at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader - if this is where it is on your computer, where is the other one?

  • Can not download PDFs to Safari or Firefox. 27" iMac running 10.8.2. Have disabled two Adobe plug ins per search in community. Did not work. Dowloads fine on other computer (older iMac, 10.6.8). Advice appreciated. Lyman

    New iMac 27" running 10.8.2. Can not dowload PDFs. Have taken two Adobe plugins out of library (as suggested in comments I found last night). Did not fix proglem. Older iMac running 10.6.8 sitting next to new one can download fine. Then have to move downloads to new machine to use them. Thanks for help and suggestions. Lyman

    My own answer. This was solved by a simple restart of the computer. This is the second time in a week that a restart has been needed to resolve "refuseal to work" type problems. I don't recall restarting being a regular fix in earlier OSs.Hope this doesn't become a standard fix as that could be really tedious. Lyman.

  • Adobe Readers Uninstallable

    June 14 submitted this problem.  Still unresolved  Download,any version of Reader will not start or activate. Have Windows 7, 62 bit, Explorerer.  Wells Fargo informed me that I needed a new version of Reader.  I had 9.5.5.  to open PDF bank statements.  When I couldn't get any readers to Download, I uninstalled 9.5.5..No luck.  Deactivated McAffee and also "popups." numerous times.  Pat Willener recommended that I go to the Offline Installer, still no luck.
    Comments and advice please.  Don't know what to do.
    Veljoca2

    The down load did not even begin let alone complete. 
    By no luck, I meant that  no down load occurred and ergo no install.
    Just ran a complete virus check of the computer no viruses. I wasn;t actually starting a "new topic"  as I brought it up June 14 and you suggested some fixes.
    The problem right now is I need an Adobe Reader program and am unable to download one.
    Don't know if this is pertinent or not.  But just tried to open Adobe.com program on my computer.  Message was that I needed updates to Adobe AIR.  They downloaded but on the install a message "Sorry an error has occured.: Could it be that there is an agreement that should have been signed but wasn"t?
    Sorry to ramble on.  I appreciate your help.

  • Reconcile two adobe id

    how do i reconcile two adobe id? I am signed in CC on my laptop and my desktop with two different ID and cannot access the same updates on both machines. I need to reconcile these accounts--but how? Thanks.

    One Adobe ID provides you to access the & activate the CC two times. You can not have two Cc in one ID as it can be activated twice only.
    In case if you are facing issue with updates, please contact Adobe Support for this at

  • Does anyone know how to reconcile (merge) two adobe id accounts?

    I have two Adobe ID accounts and the email address associated with the older one no longer exists. I need to either merge the two accounts, or get the password update link in a different way ( the automated email method doesn't work because that email address is defunct.  I can't get through to Adobe on the chat line as it is always busy.  Anybody have a work-around for updating the old password?
    Or know how to reconcile the two accounts? Here's hoping!  ~Bill

  • I have two adobe accounts and I want to synchronize them.

    I have two adobe accounts: one for work and one for home. I want to synchronize them so I can download the cloud on my work computer.

    Yes you can DavidStafford although if your membership is provided by your work I would verify with them that it can be utilized for personal use.  You can find more details regarding how to activate your membership on different computers at Activation & deactivation help - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html.
    I would also recommend searching the Adobe Creative Cloud forum at Adobe Creative Cloud as this topic is discussed quite often.

    Hello, I want to perform a simple task.I have two Adobe ID accounts linked to two different email addresses. One account i do not want to use anymore but it is linked to my main email account. the account i do not want anymore is still in its free stage and i have not purchased anything with it. My other Adobe ID account is linked to an email i rarely use and don't particularly want to use. i have tried changing the linked email account to my regular one i use. But it obviously does not allow me because of it already being linked to my other non used obsolete Adobe ID account. Is there any solution to this?? Please help.
