Help with uninstalling "old" Adobe Reader

Since I trust anything Adobe 100%, I did not hesitate to follow a link (contained in "Adobe for Andoid" email from you to me) to install Adobe Reader on my new NOOK HD+ 32.  IT IS A "BAD" LINK, details were forwarded to Adobe by Chrome Support 7-2-13.  What I have been told from Barnes and Noble, Chrome, Google and Adobe "HELP" Professionals  is to uninstall the download.
You'd think even a 56 year old tech-novice could handle this, right?!?  I Can't because the "Unfortunately System UI message freezes everything up until I respond "okay".... Between my "okay" and typing the "uninstall "  address to my Search bar, the "UI' message has taken over my screen and has frozen every  click I know how to make.  After doing this 5+times, all of the icons begin to shake and then the page completely turns itself off.
I am hoping someone is able to advise me how to "uninstall" from somehere other than my Nook.
Thank you very much,

It's really hard to say what's going on without knowing more about the system. It's possible that the program is generating an FDF (Forms Data Format) file and launches it, causing the PDF to load and populate with the data in the FDF. Folks have reported that recent changes to Reader have broken this type of thing. So you may need to go back to an even earlier version, such as 9.2 or 9.3, or somehow contact the developers of the application for help.
Is this something that happens in a web browser?

  • Need support person for help with loading the adobe reader

    We purchased Adobe reader but it will not load onto my computer and per my boss I need to get help from you.
    my phone number is 813-445-7295 ext 104

    Nobody will ring you, sorry. But perhaps we can help (this is not Adobe staff).
    Let's start with what you purchased. Check your receipt. Adobe Reader is free, nobody should have charged you for that..
    Then, let us know what you mean by "will not load". If you get any messages, please let us know the exact words.

    Do I need to need to uninstall old adobe flash before new version can be installed?

    No, the Adobe installer will simply over-write the earlier version.

    I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • Problems with SharePoint2010 and Adobe Reader X

    hi all,
    i have a big problem with SharePoint2010 and Adobe Reader x. We can open .pdf Files from SharePoint but not Safe. The Error Message is "
    SharePoint, SQL and OS are installed in English. The problem is that the site was probably created from a German template.

    Hi,
    Could you repost the error-message that you see in Adobe Reader? The problem might be because of a known bug in Microsoft SharePoint server 2010. Certain required field types are missing in the German/French site templates which cause a SOAP request on the server to fail. A workaround is to add these field types to the library. You could add these fields manually or using a script. You could look for following field types which might be missing from the site template.
    "Content Type ID","Approver Comments","Name","Document Modified By","Document Created By","File Type","HTML File Type","Source URL","Shared File Index","Title","Template Link","HTML File Link","Is Signed", "Document ID Value", "Document ID", "Content Type", "Created", "Created By", "Modified", "Modified By", "Has Copy Destinations", "Copy Source", "Approval Status", "URL Path", "File Size", "Item Type","Sort Type", "Effective Permissions Mask", "ID of the User who has the item Checked Out", "Is Checked out to local", "Checked Out To", "Unique Id", "Client Id", "Virus Status", "Check In Comment", "Edit Menu Table Start", "Edit Menu Table End", "Server Relative URL", "Encoded Absolute URL", "Property Bag", "Level", "Is Current Version", "Item Child Count", "Folder Child Count", "Select", "Edit", "UI Version", "Instance ID", "Order", "Workflow Version", "Workflow Instance ID", "Source Version (Converted Document)", "Source Name (Converted Document)", "Document Concurrency Number","Relink", "Merge", "Path"

    Is it the Download assistant that is freezing or is it the web browser that freezes?

  • Please help me with installation of adobe reader

    Hello, I hope I'm in the right spot.  I finally was successful in downloading and installing flash player but now I can not download and install the adobe reader!!  It gets all the way through the download and gives me the message "installation did not pass the integrity check"... as a result I can no longer read pdf's...  Please help.  What is up with this???   This was the same message and problem I had with installing the new flash player, but I ran a debugger and then was able to download the flash player.  I tired running the debugger again and installing reader but it did not work.  Please help.  Thank you,
    Kathleen

    I've had the same problem installing the update for Adobe Reader 9.3.2.  On every PC at work (Windows XP SP3) I have had to uninstall Adobe Reader and reinstall in order for the 9.3.3 to be accepted!  Annoying but acceptable.  However, on one particular PC I now have the problem where I am unable to neither uninstall nor update nor reinstall - whatever I do the same message comes up:
    "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
    I hoped your link would assist, but alas it has not.
    I have tried System Restore to a time prior to all this fuss and bother, but that hasn't helped either - the same message still comes up.
    I am now at a loss as to what to do next and getting peed off as I'm having to try to resolve this remotely while at home, on a weekend, when I should be out enjoying the glorious London sun!
    Cheers in advance to anyone who can help =)
    P.S. Our PC's aren't linked to a network server - they are standalone.  We're a charity with limited funds alas.

  • How to uninstall multiple Adobe Reader Install

    Dear Forum,
    Last night I attempted to install Photoshop Elements 6 for OS X and ran into problems. I have the Photoshop installed and registered. But it also had the Adobe Reader as a choice. So,I thought that the reader is probably required to read the users guide. So, I had problems downloading it, and ended up with multiple downloads which I would like to uninstall. I have one icon for the Adobe Reader Installer, and 3 other reader icons showing in applications. How do I uninstall these extra duplicates. I was up all night with this problem. I have an iMac which is 6 months old, 3 G RAM. I use Firefox 3 most of the time. I have other programs which I would like to load, so I don't want to use up memory if I don't have to. Also, it shows a circle with a slash through it sometimes which says it is not can't be used in this architecture. Help!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Annie

    A program doesn't use any memory at all unless you actually start it,
    so don't be concerned about using memory.

  • How to uninstall manually Adobe Reader XI in a corrupted install and not being able to uninstall from control panel

    It seems that Adobe Reader X1(11.0.0.9) installed and the installation was corrupted.  It now opens up the Windows help center automatically.  Booting the computer in safe mode and trying to unistall in the control panel,  I get the Windows Installer Servicee could not be accessed.  I am able to uninstall other programs with no problem. 
    can someone help?

    One way is to download again and install, then uninstall. That sometimes resolves the issue. To clear the registry of Acrobat and Reader (this is the Acrobat forum by the way, Reader is another forum), use http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.

  • Help with replacing an Adobe XI with an older version on Windows8

    I have Windows 8, Adobe Export PDF (which is an essential for me), and Adobe Reader XI. An online course that I am taking requires that I uninstall Adobe XI, and replace it with an older version (10.1.4?) in order to access class online textbooks. I am concerned and wondering if it will affect my Adobe Export or if it is compatible with Windows 8. Help? I want to try to find out if I will be facing any issues before I start messing with things.

    What is the problem with the Reader XI accessing these online docs?  All Reader versions should be fully backwards compatible.  Also I don't think Reader X was tested on Windows 8.
    However, if you really want to install Reader X, uninstall XI (from Control Panel, or using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html), then download/install Reader 10.1.4 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and update it to 10.1.9.

  • Uninstall of Adobe Reader XI to go back to Adobe 9

    I recentely installed Adober Reader XI and discovered that my print functionality is limited. I would like to uninstall Adobe XI which should leave me back with Adobe Reader 9 which is still on my computer. Can anyone walk me through the process and where I might find the uninstall?  Thanks in advance for the help!

    Sure - I installed Adobe XI on my computer and although I can print when I right click and hit print; I can no longer print from the Menu bar up top. Prior to installing Adobe XI I could print from the Menu bar.  When I try printing PDF's from the menu bar the pdf shows a blank screen.  When I do it by right clicking I can see the PDF and print.  I believe it may have something to do with the Adobe install and so I was simply trying to go back to the version I had before I started experiencing the problem. Feel free to offer any other suggestions you might have.... Thanks for he help!

  • Please help! Cannot install Adobe Reader!

    Hello, I hope someone can help me!
    I tried to use Adobe Reader and I got an error message. I was not able to open Adobe Reader at all. Since I had had some trouble with my hard disk, I thought maybe some data could be damaged, so I decided to uninstall and re-install. This didn't work either. I now have no Adobe Reader on my computer and I am not able to install it. I get the message: "Die Anweisung in "0x0cf00068" verweist auf Speicher in "0x0cf00068". Der Vorgang 'written' konnte nicht auf dem Speicher durchgeführt werden". With every try I get the same message, but with a different code. This was also the error message I got in the first place.
    I use Windows XP and Windows Internet Explorer.
    Can anybody tell me what to do?
    Thanks!

    Thank you Michael, for your response.
    I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately the Cleanup Utility cannot find Adobe Reader, so I think I deleted it thouroughly enough. The error message I got initially, was the same, so I think it must be something else. But no idea what. I'm really puzzled (and annoyed, I cannot do my work now!).
    Any other ideas? Please?

  • Deleting old Adobe Reader applications...

    I have downloaded the newest Adobe Reader application but still show multiple older versions of Adobe Reader(7.08 & 8) in my Applications folder.
    Can I delete and trash these without losing some necessary files to run the 9 version only...?
    I also run Classic 9 OS occasionally for older applications and in that Application folder there is an Acrobat Reader 5.0 which I don't know if I need to have or if I can update it to a newer version that would work with Classic 9.

    I would say to play it safe you might want to delete the Acrobat files (maybe archive them just to be safe) before doing your upgrade. I don't know but it is possible the Acrobat Reader installer may have an uninstall button. Programs like Acrobat and Office like to put files all over the place so if you really want to make sure all the old is gone you would need to do a lot of manual weeding. However, it is slightly possible that when you run the installer it might ask if you want to get rid of earlier versions. Try running the installer part way and see what options it offers. Usually you can cancel before installing if you decide you need to do something before installing.
    Now, there's OS9 and there's Classic. OS9 is when you boot to OS9 and OS9 is totally in control. When you boot to OSX and run Classic, it is OSX that is really in control and it is pretending (emulating) OS9 +at the same time+. If you start a program written for OSX while in Classic it will just start the program in OSX. If you actually boot to OS9 then it is extremely unlikely it will run the OSX version. There were some programs written around the transition period that would run on both, but I doubt any recent release would. The bottom line is, if all you do is run Classic then you could also get rid of your version 5 too.
