How do I uninstall Acrobat Pro XI after the trial period has elapsed?

Buying is not an option for the moment (company processes to follow first - could take weeks!!) and the "readme" files give instructions that cannot be followed because there is no menu available now that the trial period has expired. Right now, I cannot open pdf files at all, even though I still have the free Acrobat Reader software installed.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It seems to me that Adobe Reader is not set as the default to handle pdf's but Acrobat is, and hence after the trial expired you are not able to view the pdf's.
Please follow the steps below to change the default program for viewing pdf's
Launch Acrobat / Reader.
Click on the 'Edit' button in the toolbar, and then select 'Preferences'
A new window would come up. On the left column, higlight the 'General' Tab and on the right hand side at the bottom there's a button called 'Select Default PDF Handler'
Click the button and select 'Adobe Reader' as the default for PDF's.Click on 'Ok' now to save the changes.
Alternatively, you can simply right click on any pdf file and then select 'Open With..' > 'Choose Default Program' and select 'Adobe Reader' from the list of programs.
Make sure the option at the bottom is checked that says ' Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'.
Click on 'Ok' now to save the changes.
To uninstall Acrobat you can simply uninstall it from the Control Panel > Programs or use the Acrobat cleaner tool : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

I can't activate my premiere pro CC after the trial now has expired.

My trail mode has expired, so I signed a creative cloud contract. Now when I try to open premiere pro it asks me to either enter a license key (which I don't have) or sign in with my password and ID. As soon as I do this the program redirects me to the website, where you can sign a contract. When I try to sign it again, it says I already have signed it (of course). But the program still says the trial has expired and I need to sign in. I even tried to uninstall the program completely but when I reinstall it the same error occurs again, same like before. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Chris

Photographer's package - can i drop in and out of membership when required and if so is it only after an initial period has elapsed?

Hi there
The Photography plan is only available as an annual plan (either pay up front or paid monthly) so you'd be signing up for a year.
A month to month plan is available for Creative Cloud complete and single apps which means you don't have to commit for a certain period of time and can stop and start.
Subscription terms available here: https://www.adobe.com/misc/subscription_terms.html
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Hi,
Do you get any error while activating Muse, or could you please provide some more details.

Acrobat Pro 9 & XI both installed on Mac. How can I uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 & not affect Acrobat XI?

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro XI are installed on the same iMac with OS X 10.8.5. How do I safely uninstall only Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting Acrobat Pro XI?
When I first installed Acrobat Pro XI, I thought maybe I was suppose to leave Acrobat Pro 9 on my computer.
So now I have both Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro 11 installed.
I see no benefit to having both installed. I want to uninstall only the Acrobat Pro 9 and not Acrobat Pro XI.
I am not sure that I can safely uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting the functioning and files for Acrobat Pro XI.
I started to uninstall Acrobat 9, but I stopped when I saw a warning in a little window.
I went to the "Acrobat Uninstaller.app" file in the "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder and double clicked it.
The Acrobat folder for Acrobat XI Pro came up with the file "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" selected
I manually selected the "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" file in the "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder.
When I clicked on "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" for Acrobat 9 a window with a warning came up. So I stopped.
"Uninstall will remove files, folders, and preferences installed by Acrobat from your system.
There is no undo available. User data files and directories shared by other Adobe applications will not be removed."
Should I go ahead and click [Uninstall]?
I don't think it will delete my pdf files.
Will this affect my Acrobat XI operating &/or preferences? Will Acrobat XI still function correctly?
What do I have to do to safely have just Acrobat XI on my computer without Acrobat 9?
Thank you for any help.

I am trying to uninstall, I tried to uninstall, but I got the following message when trying to uninstall: "Invalid Application. The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller." Acrobat 9 installation suddenly stopped working
Can you help?

I just downloaded acrobat pro DC for the trial version and it won't open

I downloaded the trial version of acrobat pro DC on the 30 day trial. It installed fine. But when I click on it it will not open. If I try to open it from clicking on a pdf file it won't open either.
I only downloaded this, not the whole adobe suite. I am on windows 8.1. I only downloaded it today and still have the 30 days left on the trial.
I have tried repairing it. Uninstalling and reinstalling and restrarting my computer. No error message comes up when I try to load it. Nothing happens. HELP

Hey pollyr15695121,
Please try downloading Acrobat DC trial version from the below mentioned link and check again:

Help!! How do you retrieve photos from Lightroom after the trial ends??

Hi, I was trialing the latest version of Lightroom and the trial period expired.. I have never used Adobe products before and I didn't realise I wouldn't be able to retrieve the photos after the trial ended! The photos are needed for an assignment for Uni that is due tomorrow!!
Is there ANY way to get the photos back??? Thank you!
Francesca

As Dorin says, your pictures are still there. Lightroom never modifies your images, so they're still there in whatever format you imported them. If you don't have use of Lightroom, you don't have access to the changes you've made to your images in Lightroom unless, while you still have use of Lightroom:
You export the images (to TIF or JPEG)
In Edit menu, catalog settings, metadata tab, you check "Automatically write changes into XMP", in which case the changes are written into the XMP sidecar files, which can be read by ACR in Photoshop (or Elements, I think).
To get yourself out of a fix, as c.frans says, download the LR4.1 RC2 version. This requires no serial number but it will time out in June, I think so remember to do one of the two options I mentioned above before then.

Uninstalling Acrobat Pro X after installing Acrobat Pro Xl?

I noticed that when I intsalled the new Acrobat Pro Xl as part of Creative Cloud, Acrobat X was not removed.
Since the app alone uses almost 1 GB of space, I would like to safely remove the app, and any related files that are not required for Xl.

Jeff,
In the "Adobe Installers" folder, when opening the Acrobat uninstaller (named "Acrobat X Pro"), the uninstall optons are:
Acrobat X Pro (checked by default)
.– Suite Shared Configuration CS 6 (checked by default)
Remove Preferences (UNchecked by default)
Should I run the uninstaller with the options as is?
Thanks

How do I download Acrobat Pro XI for Mac Trial edition from my PC?

Seems wierd, but I want to download it here at home on my fast connection so I can then install it on my Mac at work which has a R E A L L Y R E A L L Y S L O W connection.
Any help would be appreciated.

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Can I download final cut pro X trial version and use final cut pro 7 during and after the trial period ?

My company uses Final cut pro 7 and I have to know if we can try Final cut pro X on one of our G5 and, in the case of we can't switch to FCPX, if we can use FCP7 again without re-initialise it. Thanks
sorry for my english. it's not my maternal language.

You cannot use FCPX on a G5. It's Intel only.

How much does it cost for iWeb after the trial is over?

thanks.

iWeb is a free application and you don't pay to
publish web site using iWeb, but you MUST have a
.Mac
account if you want to use iWeb to publish your
sites
on the internet.
So if you want to carry on using iWeb to publish
your
web sites to the internet, you must upgrade your
trial .Mac account to do so.
Actually, this isn't entirely accurate. It is
possible to use iWeb to publish to a folder and
upload that to just about any internet hosting
provider. But publishing to .mac by far the simplest
option.
In this case with the ability of this user, I did not even mention it !
