Manually uninstall acrobat 9.5.2

My computer keeps crashing everytime I use acrobat 9.5.2. A blue screen comes up and states "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA." I tried uninstalling through control panel / uninstall and this crashes the computer. I downloaded the Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool from Adobe and this also crashes the computer when I attempt to use it. I have windows 7. Does anyone know how I can remove this software?

You may find you have to do a repair after uninstalling a prior version. Sometimes some common files are deleted and have to be restored.

How to manually uninstall Adobe Acrobat 9 or force installation?

Acrobat was not cleanly uninstalled with a installation manager Total Uninstall, and now the standard uninstaller is no longer available. Reinstallation is currently not possible because the installer believes Acrobat is still installed. It seems my only option is to manually uninstall Acrobat, or possibily simplier option of forcing installation. I have removed all directories and subdirectories associated with Acrobat but this is not enough. Any help would be appreciated.

Go to Microsoft download and get the "Installer Cleanup Utility" (not sure if that's the correct name, but it's close enough . Run it and see if you can proceed with the installation of Acrobat.
FWIW it's not as simple as that. We use an administrative install point, (following adobe's "instructions" I might add), and several systems, including mine, got pretty jacked up from the 9.3.2 quarterly update.
Had to rip it out by the roots, and the msi cleanup is only part of the solution. Don't ask for a howto - I'm still too traumatized.
Registry surgery, boot to safe mode, remove application directory, some start->run entries, yada yada yada. Had to boot into linux to fix the recycle bin after all was said and done.
What a bloated mess.
I will add that most systems were fine, but this application is waaaaaaay too complex for what it does. Installation is fragile in a managed desktop environment, repair tedious. Updates are unforgiveably large and The MSP approach to patches/updates is a freaking nightmare to deal with. It sprays crap all over the system, the registry, and what the installer does is poorly documented if at all.
Funny how adobe nevers seems to chime in on any of these threads, BTW.

Uninstall acrobat 9.2

When I try to upgrade or uninstall acrobat 9.2 I receive the following error: "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it." I've trolled around different postings and not found anything particularly useful. Can anyone suggest how I can manually uninstall acrobat? My OS is Vista Business.
thanks.

sorry, I meant "update"
It all started when the automatic updater failed with an update a few weeks ago. I ignored it for a while, but the update manager kept bugging me to update and I got tired of the repeated attempts to update and subsequent failure. I tried to update manually to no avail. Since then I have tried to uninstall using the windows uninstaller and received the message I posted earlier. I figured it would be easiest to reinstall, but I'm stuck.

Uninstalling Acrobat Trial on MacBook

I am trying to install a paid version of Professional X but cannot complete the installation due to another version being on my computer. I installed and trial 76 days ago and it has long expired, but I cannot seem to uninstall so that I can download the paid version.

Hi Rita,
We dont recommend to have two different versions of Acrobat installed on same machine. You need to uninstall Trial version from your computer and then install Acrobat X.
What is the problem you are facing while uninstalling Acrobat from your machine?

How to do a manual uninstall of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (9.4.4) on my Mac?

Hi Adobe Acrobat experts,
Can someone walk me through the steps I need to take in order to perform a manual uninstall of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on my mac?
I just got Adobe Acrobat 11 on my mac and don't want to accidentally uninstall that in the process, or delete anything necessary for me to run my other CS4 Master Suite applications.
I can't uninstall the normal way and have tried to troubleshoot it in many ways. So the last resort I have is to manually uninstall. I just don't want to mess up my PDFs.
Thanks so much!

How do I manually uninstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

The program crashed when using compiling the results of a distributed form.
I cannot open or compile any of my distributed forms, or even open the Tracker.
I uninstalled the program and reinstlled it, but the same problem exists.
I cannot use any existing distributed forms or create new ones.
I would like to try a manual uninstall.
Reformatting my hard drive is a last resort.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Mike
Thank you for your recommendation to use Filemaker Pro. We will be buying the program soon.
The documentation for the Microsoft Installer Clean-up tool says 1) that other programs might be uninstalled also, and 2) you should not use it if you have Microsoft Office 2007 installed on your computer. i checked out the referral link for those who have Office 2007 installed, and it gives instructions for uninstalling Office 2007.
Thank you in advance for your response.

Uninstall Acrobat 9.0.0 Pro from Mac OS

I have just upgraded my OS to Mavericks, which doesn't work with Acrobat 9 Pro, so I've purchased Acrobat XI and installed it. Now I can't get rid of Acrobat 9 Pro. The uninstaller in that folder doesn't work. When I try to open it, the uninstaller that came with Acrobat XI opens instead and can't "see" the Acrobat 9 folder or app so I can't use it to uninstall 9.
If I need to do a manual uninstall, what files other than the ones in the Acrobat 9 Pro folder in the Applications folder do I need to remove?

Hi Carolyn,
Please check the doc: http://www.project-insomnia.com/wp/2009/07/22/manually-uninstalling-adobe-acrobat-reader-9 -on-mac-os-x-leopard/
You might want to uninstall Acrobat 11 first and then manually remove Acrobat 9 files as you might inadvertently remove Acrobat 11 files while trying to manually remove Acrobat 9 files.
Both the application share the same folders to save the files and related preferences.

How to uninstall Acrobat X on a Mac which now has Acrobat XI.

I'm plagued by not being able to get rid of Acrobat 9 and X now that I have Acrobat XI through Adobe CC. My uninstall apps have disappeared or don't work. Is it possible to manually get rid of these unwanted files?

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?

Problem uninstalling Acrobat 9

I had a long expired trial version of Acrobat 9 on my computer. I may have inadvertently deleted the installer recently, and have run into propblems. Every time I try to open any file on my computer, Windows Installer wants to run the installer, but it can't find it, because a file called Acropro.msi is not available. I tried to uninstall Acrobat 9, but I got a message saying that it cannot be removed. When I realized the problem was likely due to having deleted the installer, I thought that, if I installed a trial version of Acrobat 10, it would include uninstallation of the old program. That didn't work either, because Windows installer again is looking for AcroPro.msi to complete the task.
So, I now have a downloaded trial version of Acrobat 10 that won't install, and an old trial version of Acrobat 9 that won't uninstall, as well as a very annoying dialogue box that opens every time I try to open a file.
Help. please!

That probably won't go away without heavy surgery on the Windows registry. You'd have to manually delete acouple of keys like the relevant Adobe keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and other such places as well as the file type handlers in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT branch. Other than that the simple solution would be to reinstall Acrobat 9, then uninstall it...

Uninstalling Acrobat X if installer corrupted

I cannot uninstall (or reinstall) Acrobat X because i get an error message "This patch package could not be opened". I guess this is due t a corruption of the installer due to disk problems. Is there an uninstaller that I can use and/or instructions as how to manually remove Acrobat X ?

Dear Jeff,
THANK YOU ! The tool was exactly what I was looking for and it worked like charm !
I should have gone my-self to the donwloads ... but actually it is not referenced (or I did not see it) on the parent directory http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/ ...
By the way, sorry for being late (you answered very quickly) but actually I'm in Belgium and if you are in the US, it was daytime for you and very late in the night for me. So, I only saw your message when waking up today.
Cheers !
PS: I will post another question about how to copy the configuration of one installation to another on another computer. If you have an idea about that...

I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

How do I manually uninstall CS3 Master Collection?

I started having problems with Encore, then Premier Pro. The programs have been functioning OK for some years, but started to fail for some reason some months ago. When I run the Installation program to uninstall it starts off OK showing a progress bar, but after some time it fails to progress and stops. I then tried the CS Cleaner Tool, but that increased the problems, so now I can not launch the installer program at all, and I get a notification that my license is no longer valid. Seems I will need to manually uninstall all CS3 programs (Master Collection).
I have a MacPro, OSX ver. 10.5.8 (Leopard), as I´ve been told that never versions off the operating system do not function well with the CS3. (I also own ver 10.6). I´ve long time searched the internet for a solution without beein able to solve this, so grateful for any help

I cannot say I have conclusive help to offer. At one point in time a couple years back CS3 started to go flaky on me and eventually led to prohibiting me from accessing any of the products that came with it, claiming my license was not valid.
Below are some notes I jotted down that served to help me... I cannot say if they will be a help to you.
One thing that I found troubling was that there was mention of no support from Adobe for CS3 any longer at various points along the line while trying to find a solution - hard to accept that a failing license would be ignored. I think the last bit of info I show below relates to having found someone at Adobe who was willing to try to help despite that... but I managed to fix things with the first bit of info I list before that person got back to me.
