Problems Uninstalling Acrobat 9 pro ...

I was wondering if anyone else was having problems uninstalling Acrobat 9 Pro. I run an IT department and have tried everything that can think of to get the thing uninstalled. Nothing's working, it continuously comes up with errors saying that it can't uninstall, that there is already a newer version of Acrobat installed, or some other random errors. The computer is an "extra"computer, and the cd key for Acrobat 9 Pro is now installed on another machine. All I want to do is take Acrobat 9 off and reinstall Acrobat 8.
Any suggestions?

Deactivate before uninstalling (unless this is a volume license). Then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool.

  • Uninstalled Acrobat Pro (part of CS 5.5 Design Standard) and now need to reinstall. How??

    I am so confused. I have CS 5.5 Design Standard running on a Windows 7 computer. I have the serial number. The problem is, I stupidly uninstalled Acrobat Pro and now need to reinstall it. What do I do? I downloaded Acrobat Pro X from the download link on the Adobe site but it won't take my serial number. I am guessing because the serial number pertains to the entire Creative Suite, not just Acrobat.
    Please help. Thanks!

    Correct. You need to use the full suite installer.

  • Printing problem with Acrobat Pro 10.1

    I get an "Insufficient memory" message on my LaserJet printer when trying to print certain PDFs using Acrobat Pro 10.1, but the PDFs are printed without any problem from Acrobat Pro 9 or Preview. Does anybody else have this problem?

    Thanks for responding I was using an MS Excel spreadsheet to merge details to produce labels in a programme called NiceLabel Pro.  The information from the spreadsheet was very simple - a readable code number and a QR code.  In the Nice Label document setup you nominate the printer - in my case this was the Adobe PDF printer - to produce a Press Ready quality PDF file.  I tried several times to print this file and each time ended up with page 1.  As the job was urgent and I had a deadline to meet, I ended up installing a programme called Nitro - which also produces PDF - to complete the job, without a problem.  However, I would prefer to stick with my Adobe Acrobat software as the other alternative is limited in its pre-press options.  Hope this information will enable a solution to the problem.
    - Thanks, Lynne
    Hi again Dov - have you been able to come up with an answer to my Acrobat problem.  Would like to begin 2015 with workable Acrobat.
    Many thanks - Lynne

  • 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?

  • Problems Installing Acrobat Pro 9.0 after Hard Drive Crashed

    I am having to reinstall my Creative Suite CS 5.0 on my MacBook Pro after the replacement SSD crached and I had to reinstall the suite back onto my orginal hard drive. Everything in the Creative Suite installs with no problem except Acrobat Pro 9.0 and Distiller. After it is copied, I open it and after a few seconds I am presenting with the following message...
    "Suite Product Activation Needed - Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Adobe Acrobat, please start another component of this suite (such as Adobe Photoshop)."
    I have tried opening Photoshop first and then opening Acrobat, but I get the same message.
    I am at a lose as to what to do.
    Thanks for any help.

    Matthew,
    As you stated the CS5 version has a separate disk for Acrobat 9 and a separate serial number for Acrobat 9.  Unfortunately the error message you are seeing is usually seen when launching Acrobat shipped with either CS4 or CS5.5 as the activation of the product is tied to first launching another suite product.  Try removing the Inprogress key from the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Inprogress.
    Of course only do this after backing up your registry.

  • Uninstalling Acrobat Pro 9

    I have installed the trial version of acrobat pro 9 previously.
    I tried to uninstall the program from the control panel, but fail to find the program from the add/remove program checklist.
    What could I do to uninstall it? I am using Win7.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I repeat, Do you have a newer version of Acrobat Reader on your computer? Sometimes newer versions of Reader interfere with older versions of Acrobat. I had Acrobat 6 and Reader 8 installed and had all kinds of problems.

  • Printing problem in Acrobat Pro

    Hello all.
    I have acrobat pro CS4 and have just made this my default from Preview as I am finding print output from preview is really bad.
    However I am having an issue in Pro.
    I cannot seem to make it understand the dimensions my printer can goto. I have a phaser 8550 which can print to within 8mm of the edge of the paper (A4)
    Now if I tell it to reduce to fit and print it will print with the bottom edge being a good inch from the edge. If I tell it not to reduce then it will print to within the 8in, but of course the image is cropped.
    Is there anyway to get this right?

    You say you're using Verdana but you're not. The error message clearly shows you're using MyriadPro Bold.
    You probably recently installed the Mac OS X 10.6.7 update which has a bug with OpenType PostScript fonts like MyriadPro Bold. Either use Verdana or another TrueType or PostScript font, or revert to Mac OS X 10.6.6.

  • If I install the update to Adobe Reader 10, will that cause problems with Acrobat Pro 9?

    Firefox (version 15.0.1) is telling me I need to install an update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4 in order to view pdf files in my browser. I use Acrobat Pro 9. The update is actually Adobe Reader 10, and I am wondering if I install this, will it cause problems with my version of Acrobat Pro?
    Because I am not sure if this is so, I have temporarily disabled the plug-in and now pdf files download automatically rather than display in my browser. I would prefer they open in my browser but do not want to upgrade to Acrobat X.
    My OS is Windows Vista. I did not include the "troubleshooting information" file because I'm not sure what specific info is being requested.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi WMdotcom
    did you try to view pdf with your acrobat pro 9 ?

  • Printing Problems with Acrobat Pro 9.5 for Mac

    I have Acrobat pro 9.5 for Mac.  I'm using a Canon MG8150 multi-function printer.  Everytime I try to print from Arobat Pro I get an error message.  Any suggestions?  I can print my pdfs from Apple Preview; so it's not the document or the printer.

    The first problem is probably a permissions issue. Run Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility. For the second see this
    Announcement: Known Acrobat Issues under Snow Leopard
    Hide Details
    (1) The Adobe PDF Printer module does not work under OS X.6. Please see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html to find out how to create Adobe Quality PDFs under Snow Leopard.
    (2) Opening files from the finder, including files authored by Adobe applications, may not open them in the original authoring application. Omitting a file extension from the file name will increase the likelihood of this happening. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/511/cpsid_51110.html for more information.

  • Problems updating Acrobat Pro X to 10.1.0

    I tried to update my Windows Acrobat Pro X (from 10.0.3 to 10.1.0) and have been getting some questionable behavior (hard to categorize for these general ones). However, what I did notice specifically is when performed the update (Have done it a couple of times hoping to "repair" the fix), I get an "Error 1328: Error applying patch to file C:\Config.msi\PT56C.tmp....". I selected "Ignore" (which may have been my mistake) and allowed the update to continue. Now, "Tools\Delete page" no longer works (what I've discovered so far) and I get an unpredictable crash/debug session that comes up (using MS Visual Studio).
    I've read so far that the only way to eliminate this update is to "start all over" (Didn't see anything on this forum).
    Any one else experience this and is there a better fix for it?
      Thanks and cheers....Steph

    John,
    Thanks for the fast reply.
    I downloaded the update directly from the Adobe website and installed it locally. I also disabled AVG to make sure security did not get in the way. I am running WinXP SP3.
    As I mentioned, tried a couple of times. Same error 1328 result and ensuing problems with Acrobat. Just to be sure, Acrobat was working great before I installed this update   I wish I could roll back the update and get Acrobat back to how it was....
