Get rid of Adobe Reader FOREVER & still read all PDFs online?

I have this problem. I hate ADOBE ACROBAT READER. I install it when I have to, and more and more it seems that if I want to look at a PDF online, Preview doesn't get the chance because the Adobe Reader butts in and reports that it can't find an Adobe Reader compatible program.
Or that I must have Adobe Acrobat Reader to read the PDF and do I want to download Adobe Acrobat Reader?
Or something similar.
Is there any SIMPLE way to get rid of Adobe Acrobat Reader altogether once and for all, so that I never have to see it, or use it, or think about it again?
If there is, I would MUCH appreciate a HOW TO because it's making me ill.
PREVIEW is great for what I need, and if I could just get PREVIEW to take over all PDF duties, I'd be fine.
Alternatively, if there's another PDF reader/writer etc. for Mac, I'd pay real money for it if necessary.

It may be necessary to go to Adobe's website to find an uninstaller.
Preview should automatically take over the job.
I don't have Acrobat and have no problems so far.
I removed it about six months ago when it's major vulnerabilities to malware were pointed out.
Never follow links from pop-ups that say you need a new version of Acrobat, Flash or other software (video codecs are a favourite) as they stand a high chance of being re-directs to malware sites.
Always check the latest versions from your own bookmarks to the vendor sites.

This should help you empty what's currently in the trash, but is no guarantee you got everything related to MacKiller off the drive. See Ogelthorpe's link.

How do I get rid of adobe's "improve our products" popup window which keeps freezing CS6?

In theory it would have to come up at least once and then you could choose yes/no. You can also choose that when you install it, so try to reinstall to put the respective configuration in place.

I have licensed Lightroom 5.6 and my serial number. I want to install it on a new computer. I can get nowhere using Adobe site as it is all Creative Cloud related. I never had to use CC before. All I want is to install my already purchased Lightroom on new computer (without deactivating on old computer)

you may as well install the later lr 5.7.1 rather than 5.6 and then updating.

How to get rid of Adobe Reader on my OSX 10.9.5

I have a Mac mini, using OSX 10.9.5 and was forced to download Adobe Reader by Public Works, government of Canada, in order to print their document. For starters this is SO wrong.
When I completed the download, Adobe Reader wanted me to approve it replacing my Preview, which I didn't want to do, so I answered NO.
Now I can't get into the damnable Adobe Reader to get rid of it.
Can you please let me know how to get rid of ALL of Adobe Reader from the download?
Thanks in advance for your anticipated help.

Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
Look for these two files.
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
Right click on those and select “Move To Trash”.
Restart the computer.

Some of my pdf files (since upgrade to Acrobat DC reader) have greyed-out blanks. How can I get rid of this so I can read what is obliterated?

I installed Acrobat Reader DC version 2015.007.20033 on May 3 as an upgrade to the previous version (which worked perfectly). Now some of my pdf files have greyed-out blocks obscuring the text (which I imagine is being hidden by the blocks). In some cases the whole document is illegible. What has happened? How do I get rid of the problem?

Don't know what the problem was, but it disappeared after uninstalling the programme and re-installing it. (It may have had something to do with the few preference changes I made in trying to customise the appearance to look like the previous Adobe version, but if so, I'm not clear which (one?) of them caused the grey-outs).

How do I get rid of the "white banner" that reads "cut" when in Quicktime?

I've cut a piece in FCP and exported it as a QT movie....when I view it in QT, stream it on the internet, or view it on my iPod, it has a white banner that reads "cut" how do I get rid of this? And do I need to re-export it?
Thanks

while not exporting markers is one way to cure this, it's not very effective if you do want to place your chapter markers in fcp and also maybe place some compression markers. i usually place chapter markers in fcp and don't have an issue with the quicktime text track rearing it's head. do a search in the dvd sp forum, this comes up a lot. here's one thread. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1088176&#1088176

How to get rid of Adobe Watermark in Premiere 9 after purchase?

I downloaded the trial of Premiere Elements 9 and
began editing a project. Then I made the purchase frm Amazon and installed the serial number in the trial version. I can't get rid of the Adobe watermark on the transitions. Even clearing the transition and inserting the same one or another transition, it still caries the watermark. How do I get rid of it?
Thanks.

Hello, John. Premiere Elements has its own forum and you'll usually get better answers to PRE questions there, since not that many people here use PRE:

Auto Response emails: How to get rid of Adobe Forms Central Banner

Please if someone could help, that would be greatly appreciated.
So my company uses these forms ( a total of 10) for different purposes when getting new resellers for our manufacturers. With a few of these forms our manufacturers want a copy of the new applications sent to them
We have created them accounts and they recieve notifications by email just as we do. The only issue is we wish to get rid of the banner on top that says "Adobe Forms Central". The issue is we do not want our manufacturers to see we are using an outside source, no matter how well it works.
Please if anyone has experience with this let me know. I am attaching a screen shot of the banner in case I am not using the propper term.
Thanks in advance..

Sorry, there currently isn't anyway to get rid of the branding in the email notifications.

Urgent help......can't get rid of adobe icon....

Hello,
I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8
In my utilities, i discover this
There's that Adobe Flash Player Install Manager..........when i click this icon, it's asking
me for my password.......which I straightaway click the cancel button, as from the news
today, I know that's a malware. No installations made whatsoever.
But I can never get rid of that icon above completely from the utilities, when i try to trash it,
this comes up -
What to do now? I'm afraid if i keyed in name and password, the opposite might
happen.....as I don't want to install this adobe flash player......any solutions to my problem?
Appreciate all the replies, thanks.

If I click on the icon itself......this will come up
When I click uninstall, also, same thing asking for password...... if i do so,
I know I'm done....... when i click quit, it'll just close the window....
Just couldn't figure out how to completely erase it out of my Mac 10.5.8 system....

Get rid of Adobe Icons

I know this isn't an Adobe forum, but I installed the new Creative Cloud
today from the Adobe website to check out the new Photoshop, which
I didn't like and uninstalled it again. In that process 4 Icons remained.
I can't find a way to get rid of all that sh*t. I already cleared out the Adobe
Application Support Folder.
Any help? Please?

Well it looks like this, once you klick on the icons the question mark pops up.
I'm running this:

I have a virus Mackeeper and Zipcloud i have tried to get rid of them but they still posits

I have a virus i believe it is MacKeeper and Zip cloud can anyone tell me how to get rid of them please?

Did you download Mackeeper or are you just getting ads?
If the latter, try AdwareMedic:

If no success, use these Apple Support directions:

If you have Mackeeper installed, ask for uninstall directions.
