Is a removal program available to clean a corrupted Adobe Reader v9 out of my computer?

I can't get rid of it to do a fresh installation of Adobe Reader v9. It somehow became corrupted when I disabled some Raid 1 and Raid 0 drives on my computer to free up some processing power. I began having problems with Reader v9 and it won't let me do a fresh installation of the program.

Pieces of Adobe reader still left on my computer after so much removal.

I uninstalled Adobe Reader.
Then i had seen some folders with few files still on my computer, which i deleted. few days back.
Now today i see there is still an entry of reader in my registry.
Its HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > Adobe > Adobe Acrobat > Discabs
Is it safe to delete?
However, i am not sure though that this is a adobe reader or adobe acrobat entry.
(I never purchased Adobe Acrobat, and never saw it in the add-remove programs list)

I uninstalled Adobe Reader 9.4 in Windows 7 because it was not working correctely. When I now attempt to reinstall, it will not install but rather gives the error "Application already installed." I suspect that there is some part of the program left behind in the system that tells the install program that it is already installed even though it is not. I cannot open any pdf file until this is resolved. Do you have an anwer for this?

Deleting/removing offline PDF files in the iPad Adobe Reader app

Whenever I open a file from the Acrobat.com cloud in the iPad's Adobe Reader app, a local copy is saved which I can read even when not connected to the internet. This is intentional by Adobe, and allows me to read PDFs offline, which is great. My question is, if an offline copy of every PDF I open is saved on the iPad, it will soon run out of disk space. Is there any way that I can delete/remove a specific offline PDF in order to free up disk space? I understand that this would mean that I would not be able to read that file offline anymore until I reconnect to the Acrobat.com cloud and reopen the document from the cloud. Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for reproting the issue. You are right Adobe Reader saves a local copy whenever you opens a file from Acrobat.com. But there is a limitaion to the number of files it saves locally. So whenever the number of files opened from Acrobat.com reaches that value, it removes the first file opened from acrobat.com from its local memory and so on. So there is no chance of running out of memory.
Secondly, if you want to remove the locally saved files then you can just sign out from Acrobat.com and sign in again. In this case it will remove all the files saved locally. Then you have to download them again to view.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Ankit

Adobe Reader 9.3 has stopped working ---- close the program

When trying to open a PDF document, I get the Adobe Reader error box. Adobe Reader 9.3 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program.
I went to the Adobe site and followed the instructions to add/remove program and reinstall newer version from Adobe website. The new install is the 9.3 version and I am still getting this error message. HELP ME!

I am running win 7 ultimate and had the same issue.
To fix: Do a clean install by first uninstalling Reader and removing all left over files....I use Revo (freeware) in the advanced mode to accomplish this
Here is the link if you are interested,,http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html
Otherwise....make sure you remove all the reader files from c:\programs(86) or programs and clean out the registry as well. Reboot and reinstall.
Fixed it right up ..., no more probs.

Two Adobe Reader versions installed: Can't remove ver 8.2.2

I want to know how to remove one of the two versions of Adobe Reader, both of which are now installed (simultaneously) on my Windows XP Home Edition system.
Add/Remove programs shows both of these:
-- Reader v8.2.2 (This is the one I can't get rid of).
-- Reader v9.3xx (This is the one I want to keep).
I can't remove the v8.2.2 program. Error message says to ask the vendor how to do it (or, something like that). Here I am, asking politely.
It should have been removed automatically (in my opinion) when I attempted to install version 9.3xx, but it didn't. Typical.
I need a simple solution that works.
Note: Version 10xx messed up my entire computer badly, therefore I do not want to install it again. It cost me a small fortune to get my OS running again. It was not a virus or malware, either. My system was clean before installing version 10xx.

You are correct. It was Adobe Flash v10xx that I meant instead of Reader.
I did a lot of reading in various web sites and forums about Microsoft's "Cleaner" tool that you recommended. Most people are saying that it can actually cause more problems than it solves. That's the main reason Microsoft stopped offering it. Apparently, the cleaner tool doesn't distinguish specific programs and their requirements when it removes dll's and other filetypes. It just removes all of them, which can disable other programs on my system that need them.
I wrote, originally hoping that Adobe itself would know how to get rid of a program that THEY put on my system. Yes, I agreed to installing it, but I believe any company who produces something for the Windows user-market, should make certain that people can uninstall it completely. It's their product. I shouldn't have to beg for help, go to Microsoft or any other place to get utilities (which are no longer supported!), to merely uninstall a program.
And, I noticed that this forum offers no way for me to EDIT my own posts! That's a shame, because I'd like to re-word it.
Although I appreciate your replying to me very much, at this point I'm afraid to use the utility you suggested. There must, or should be some other way to get rid of a program (which ADD/REMOVE Programs can't do). Adobe is at fault.
If I don't get another solution soon, I'll just delete this entire topic.
Thank you, again.

Automatic remove all existing Versions of Adobe Reader ?

Hello,
i am seeking for a program which removes me all (really all) old Versions from adobe with registry cleanup and so on.
Its very hard to do this manually. I found a solution for Adobe Reader 8, but its a complete manually way.
I've updatet all Adobe Readers to the latest version, but i can still see entrys of old Adobe Readers 9.0 abd 9.3 in the hklm\software\microsoft\uninstall Folder.
any ideas
best regards
Muelli

Hello all,
ok let me describe my question: is there a tool vom Adobe directly which cleans up all Adobe reader versions?
Such a tool exists for flashplayer for example, which works fine. So i hope such a "cleanuptool" was providet by adobe too.
otherwise i need all registry-entrys for the versions starting from version 8.0 to clean up all old versions, which is a lot of work.
regards
muellie
PS: why i need that? we are providing softwaremanagement in our company. now we have differnet versions from adobe reader all over the company (around 2000 clients). we would like to have one version all over the company but need to remove all old things before, especially the reader itself and the language-packs.

I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out? Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document. I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed. Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc.... Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

Removing red and green grammar error lines in Adobe reader?

How do i remove the green and red lines in Adobe Reader?
They are spelling and grammatical errors, and they appear on printed documents?
Is it from Microsoft word that i converted it from, as i turned off grammatical and spelling errors from word options, proofing etc.
I don't want them on my printed material, so what would i go about doing?
If someone could point me in the right direction then that would be great.
Thankyou.

The PDF document was created in microsoft word, also the parts that have the green or red wavy underlines, are imported from Powerpoint.
Is there a way to remove these red and green lines without having to edit the powerpoint parts eg instead of going into power point making the changes and then bringing them into word again.
So if they could be removed from the word document alone.
Thankyou.

Remove an update for Adobe Reader

Hi everyone,
I have searched around and couldn't find an answer regarding this... I would like to remove update 11.0.10 for Adobe Reader. I need to do this in order to test some of our in-house applications.
I would like to remove the update only, not the whole Adobe Reader application since we might have to push a solution to thousands of people.
I tried multiple MSIEXEC.EXE commands to uninstall the patch but always get an error stating that this patch cannot be uninstalled. is it true? Am I forced to uninstall the whole product?
Thanks for your help

I should say so, yes. I don't think Adobe Reader does the necessary thing of keeping copies of all modules at all versions so you can roll back selectively.
You could probably slipstream patches into the original 11.0 installer to make a single install, using normal Windows Installer techniques.

Adobe Reader 10.1 removal Problem

Firefox is not available in C:\Program Files and in Add/Remove Programs

I am trying to run an Oracle application which is currently installed in one of our user's PCs, but when we try to generate a report it would fail to do so as Mozilla Firefox is installed on the system and I believe it is set as the default browser. I tried to uninstall it as it is not required anymore, but to my shock I didn't find it in Add\Remove Programs list and also not in C:\Program Files. I tried installed Windows Clean-Up utility, but the application doesn't exist there either. I want to remove Mozilla completely, can someone please help?!! By the way, I also deleted the Mozilla files under the Application Data of all user accounts on that machine; still no luck.

I believe that it's a good idea to leave them be JUST in case they installed a dependency that a new application is using.
This isn't exactly likely but it could happen.
When I'm uninstalling applications I use a tool called
Revo Uninstaller which finds files and registry entries that applications might leave behind.
Will your machine explode and Windows stop booting? Probably not.
Are these left-over files destroying your Hard Drive capacity? Again, Probably not.
Basically, I can't think of much of a reason to delete them so I think it's decent to leave them just in case, but again it probably wont do any damage. Running an third-party application like
CCleaner is also good practice and could likely delete some of the unwanted/unneeded files and crud like that.
Also, most application settings are usually present in the C:\Users\UserAccount\Application Data\ and not in the Program Files or Program Data.
Goodluck bud,
Any questions or concerns feel free to let me know.

How do I remove an advertising program by the name of SmartSuggestor? I cant find it in the ad ons and I cant find it in my add remove programs on my pc.

I keep getting these stupid ads that are apparently from smartsuggestor but I cant find the program anywhere on my pc then I contacted the company and they tell me that it is a firefox issue yet i cant find it in the firefox settings either. I went into the Smart Suggestor site and the name of the extension/program came up as "No extension Found". I cant find anything that even resembles anything to do with the program at all not in the add remove program through control panel or through the extension plug ins area in firefox and was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.
I did not download this crap then all of a sudden I am plagued with pop up adds and other sorts of advertising all stemming from this bloody Smart Suggestor. I have got myself a good pc cleaner along with a few Malware removers and also upgraded my security programming but nothing will either find nor rid my pc of this problem. I have downloaded and reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox and I am still having the same issue, has anyone else gone through this and how can I get rid of this problem?

Windows App Certification Kit - Test Fails for Validate Desktop App at "Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values"

Hi,
I am trying to validate a .Net Framework 4 WinForms application for use in the Microsoft Partner Network portal.
I am using Windows App Certification Kit 3.4 for Windows 8.1 , and the Validate Desktop App option.
To build the package I am using InstallShield 2012 SPR Limited Edition (for Visual Studio), and the validation fails
only with the following error (please also see the attached image):
Clean reversible install test: Failed to Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values
Error Found: The registry population test detected the following error: app didn't create the required registry entries.
A non-optional value 'DisplayName' is missing or invalid (same for 'Publisher', 'ProductVersion')
Please note that I have filled in all the publisher/product details in the InstallShield project, on the General Information page.
Also I have tried to use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project for VS2013, and the validation failed with the exact same error.
(https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d)
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.

You may need to add the necessary info to the app’s Windows Installer package so it can configure Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel correctly. Setting these properties automatically writes the corresponding values into the registry. From the picture,
you are missing some necessary information about your desktop app.
Also You need the correct admin permissions to write to the registry.

How to remove Java Applications from "Add and Remove Programs" list?

I have deployed my Java applications (both JWS and Applet) via JNLP with allow-offline option enabled and without installer-desc option specified.
My questions are:
1. An entry is added to the Add and Remove Programs list after launching the application via JNLP. Is it due to the specification of JNLP or JWS? Is there anyway to prevent this behavior?
2. I removed my application by clearing the cache via Java Control Panel but the entry for the application is still listed in Add and Remove Programs. How can I remove the entry in the Add and Remove Programs?
I have tried following methods but neither works:
1.Go to Add and Remove Programs, and click [remove] button to the right of my application.
*Warning message like 'Application cannot be uninstalled completely' is thrown.
2.Follow instructions listed @ [Microsoft Online Support site|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314481/en-us] to remove my application manually via Windows registry.
*Couldn't find appropriate registry entry to delete.
Thanks in advance!
