How can I unistalling Adobe Reader without damaging other Adobe software??

I want to uninstall old versions of Adobe Reader, which for some reason are not removed once I update the software. The old versions I want to get rid of are 6.0, 7.0 and 7.0.5 (I just installed 8.0). I cannot find an Adobe Reader unistaller anywhere, and the Adobe site itself is not much help.
I found an old thread here in the fora (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7064835&#7064835) that partially addresses the issue, but the advise is applicable only if there is no other Adobe software installed in the computer (see Kurt Lang's reply). I have other Adobe software, including Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.
So, question is: How can I uninstall those old versions of Reader, other than dragging the folders to the trash, as that might not be advisable in my case?
And why is it that updates to the software are not automatically deleting previous versions of it? Is it something in my computer's setting that's causing this to happen?
Thanks much for the help.

Just drag the older versions of the Reader out of the Applications folder to the trash. Done. They have nothing to do in any way with other Adobe products on the hard drive.
Edit: To clarify on my post you linked to. As long as you stick to just dumping the Reader apps themselves in the main Applications folder, you're fine. Just leave the few small leftovers in the Support folders alone.

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

  • How do i install adobe reader without installing products from google.

    i dont like google, i dont like a bunch of worthless taskbars crowding my browser. so how do i install adobe reader without installing google products when you dont even give me the chance to say i dont want them?
    It is unethical to force onto people products of any nature that they do not want. i do not want google products so by your installation for adobe reader automatically installing google products without my consent is unethical.

    I don't understand the "forcing" part; the bundled software is clearly optional, and can be unchecked before the download.
    Or using the download link that Michael provided earlier (which is posted at least a dozen times every day in this forum).

    Please reply to my e-mail:   [email protected]

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

  • How can a document be darkened before printing in Adobe Reader?

    How can a document be darkened before printing in Adobe Reader?

    Darken the text is what I meant by that.    When the document is scanned and emailed, the text is light in some cases but can be read when it’s opened up on the computer but once it’s printed, some of the text can hardly be read.
    I was hoping there was a way to darken the text of a document before printing it but it doesn’t sound like that is an option.
    Thanks for responding.

  • How can I indent a paragraph WITHOUT creating spaces above or beneath?

    I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a G5 Macintosh running OS
    10.5.5.
    I selected a new HTML document (Dreamweaver opened it as a
    CSS) and pasted text from a MS Word document.
    When I "Indent" ALL of the text everything stays the same
    except that it is ALL indented.
    BUT when I "Indent" only one paragraph then that paragraph is
    not only indented BUT there ALSO appears an extra space before and
    an extra space after that paragraph.
    What this is doing is inserting <blockquote> before and
    after the paragraph.
    How can I "indent" a paragraph without any spaces appearing
    before or after the paragraph?
    Also can this be easily done from the Design page?
    I tried inserting a tag by pressing the "tag" button on the
    keyboard but that did the same thing as using the "indent" function
    (i.e. also inserted spaces before & after the paragraph).
    BTW: I am a novice, so please try to make it as simple as
    possible.

    When you paste from Word, you often get line breaks instead
    of paragraphs.
    I think that's the problem.
    Instead of this -
    <p>this is a paragraph</p>
    <p>this is a paragraph</p>
    <p>this is a paragraph</p>
    <p>this is a paragraph</p>
    you get this -
    <p>this is a paragraph<br />
    this is a paragraph<br />
    this is a paragraph<br />
    this is a paragraph</p>
    In which case the symptoms are completely understandable.

  • How can Apple tell that the liquid damage in my mac air was made by me?

    Apple said my five months Mac Air has liquid damage inside and I need to pay more than $400.
    I totally cannot accept it.
    Please have a look below two pictures from Apple.
    I can see corrosion, but how can Apple tell this damage was made by me?
    Actually I can easily approve this was definitely not made by me because of this part's location.
    Please have a look below picture. I circle it by black on the left above corner.
    This Part is facing to the ground and is covered by the case like below picture.
    All of above picture can easily approve I cannot put water inside to damage this part without damaging other parts.
    1. if water from keyboard, water will definitely pass by other places and damage other parts.
    2. if water from buttom, there is protected by the case. How can I put water inside?
    I believe that my case was just Hastily delt by one junior staff and later the manager just tried to cover his staff's mistake.
    I know the apple's product is very good. But if apple treats customer like me, I believe sooner or later Steve Jobs would cry in heaven.
    One of my friend told me normally there are several paper inside laptop and they will change the color if touching  the water.
    So people can tell the laptop was poured in water if several paper change the color togother.
    I think this way is fair enough. But in Apple store when I asked the manager whether Mac Air has this kind of paper inside.
    His answer is "not sure". I really do not know How can this man be manager!!
    can somebody tell me whether mac air have this kind of paper inside the body?
    Thanks,

    this:
    Did not exist at the point of delivery to the consumer.
    Nor did the white corrosive agent present exist at the point of sale.
    " exposure   of copper   alloys   to   moisture   or   salt   spray   will   cause   the formation  of  blue  or  green  salts  called  verdigris.  The presence   of   verdigris   indicates   active   corrosion."
    I see also 2 contact points with DEEP corrosion pitting not indicative of any defect from the factory.

    how can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.
