Reader 9.4.x uninstall before installing Acrobat X?

Does Adobe Reader 9.4.x need to be uninstalled before installing Acrobat X? If I fail to do so, will Acrobat X become the default reader application assuming I do not alter the installation defaults? Is there any reason to keep Reader 9.4.x if I am installing Acrobat X? Should I upgrade to Reader X prior to installing Acrobat X? Thanks in advance for your prompt replies.

Having just spoken with "Sam" at Adobe technical support, it was suggested that I uninstall Adobe Reader prior to installing Acrobat X Pro. I was told that if I did not do so, it would prompt me to upgrade during the installation of Acrobat X since the version of Reader is 9.4.x and not version X (or above). I was also told that once Acrobat X Pro is installed, it will become the default application for handling PDF opening. If anyone has any additional or different information, please post it here.

    No. From the very beginning all versions of PSE have been able to coexist.

  • Does earlier version of elements need to be uninstalled before installing PSE13?

    does earlier version of elements need to be uninstalled before installing PSE13?

    Hello,
    don't worry, I for my part I have on my computer more of these earlierer (outdated in some cases) Adobe programs, to see the difference or for some other reasons. Try them out for a while and then decide, whether you need the both.

    Assuming that you are in Win (which you haven't said), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:

    Then, download the full offline Reader installer from

    and run it immediately after restarting your computer.

  • Please install Visual Studio 2005 before install Acrobat 9 Plugin Wizard

    Hi,
    I have Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition installed on my computer. I keep get error message said "Please install Visual Studio 2005 before install Acrobat 9 Plugin Wizard" when I installed Visual Studio App Wizard  Acro9PIWizInstaller.msi.
    Any idea?

    Do you take me as a joker ?
    *Of course I have contacted the micorsoft support first !*
    *They ask me to try to install the .net framework 3.5, to see if the setup wasn't define as XP compatible.*
    *Then they don't have answer yet and asked me to contact Toshiba support (funny no ?)*
    Also If you look at the microsoft support forum the only installation pbm with Visual Studio with Vista is toshiba laptop satelitte related
    Ok now, as it's my job, here is what I think :
    Maybe the laptop was first setup with XP and maybe Tshiba reseler did install Vista on it as a migration !
    First case
    So to be absolutly sure it wasn't the case I did a format of my HDD and reinstalled vista from the Toshiba Crash and recovery CD
    Second case
    The problem remain, so it is possible that this Recovery CD and/or any other Toshiba product create this problem !!!!
    Note that the C# or J# express just work fine, it's only the Visual Studio 2008 tem suite and pro

  • Acrobat shows as "up to date" on a fresh Yosemite install. Can't uninstall or install Acrobat.

    Yesterday I installed Yosemite on a brand new MacBook Pro. Today I installed Adobe CC. When the CC application launched for the first time it showed Acrobat XI Pro as being installed and "up to date".
    I did NOT install Acrobat, but I want to. The problem is, I cannot uninstall it, since it isn't actually installed!
    Other CC apps seem to install correctly.
    Steps I have tried to remedy the problem are:
    - Restart the computer
    - Run the Adobe cleaner tool and reinstall Adobe CC
    - Delete AAMUpdater, AAMUpdaterInventory and OOBE and reinstall Adobe CC
    I know that there are many reported compatibility problems between Acrobat and OS X Yosemite, but I hope it is actually possible to install Acrobat on Yosemite? Any tips?

    Adobe support resolved this for me. I had to unplug all external hard drives, and once that was done ACC no longer detected Acrobat as being installed.
    At the time the problem presented I was plugged into an old MacBook, which was in "target disk mode" - in other words, it was being treated as an external hard drive. I guess ACC detected an Acrobat install on that hard drive.
    After unplugging the external drive, and signing out and back in to ACC everything worked smoothly.

  • Do individual Adobe products need to be uninstalled before installing creative cloud?

    I am deploying user licenses to several users in a department where a lot of individual Adobe products are installed and already in use. Will these individual products need to be uninstalled before using or installing Adobe Creative Cloud?

    U-96,
    When you install different versions, you should always do so in order from first to last. With a different order, you will (almost certainly) overwrite crucial files with older versions.

  • Uninstall Before Installing CS6 Design Std.

    I currently have activated trial versions of Photoshop CS6, ID CS6, and Illustrator CS6. I have PS deactivated (I have a separate single app license for that). ID and Illustrator are activated via my Creative Cloud subscription.  I have decided to purchase CS6 Design Standard. Do I need to uninstall Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign before installing the CS6 Design Standard downloads? 
    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    Hi,
    Although you already have those softwares (photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator) installed in your system however you will still have to uninstall these applications before installing Design Standard in the same computer because the installer for Suite and standalone products are different.
    Thanks

  • Question before installing Acrobat XI Pro...

    If I install it, will I lose Adobe LiveCycle? I'm on Windows 7 with a Creative Cloud membership.

    Hi Syrax12,
    When you will install Acrobat XI, LiveCycle Designer ES2 installed with Acrobat X will be removed automatically from your machine.

  • Do I have to uninstall Acrobat X before Installing Acrobat XI

    I just purchased Acrobat XI and have X installed from CS6. Do I have to uninstall X or will XI uninstall it as it installs XI?

    Well, I decided to uninstall it just so there werent system files in there from both versions. AA X was installed originally with CS6, but I didn't see an upgrade option for XI so I just bought it.
    How do you deactivate without uninstalling a version of Acrobat?

  • Uninstall before installing universal FCP?

    just wondering if i have to unistall FCP studio apps before i install new universal FCP 5 + dvd studio pro, motion, et al.

    You most certainly do not have to. It's no requirement, if that's what you're asking.
    I personally did an Erase and Install of Tiger, then from scratch installations of FCS, but my machines were getting crowded with a lot of junk (downloading too much stuff from versiontracker).
    But I would have felt just as confident simply updating/installing over the existing apps if I was a more disciplined downloader.

  • Git Already Installed - Should I uninstall before Installing XCode 4?

    Hi Folks
    I already have git installed (Version 1.7.3.4 in /usr/local/git).
    I would like to use XCode 4 but as I understand it it installs git.
    So my question is really do I need to try and uninstall my existing git to avoid conflict or perhaps I could prevent XCode 4 from installing git and config it to use the existing installation?
    I don't mind leaving my existing install if there will be no conflicts but equally I'm nervous about persuading XCode 4 to use my existing install in case the version that XCode 4 installs is customized in any way and things would break without it?
    Any experience/advice appreciated.
    Regards...jeremy

    From the latest Xcode 4 readme:
    New Issues
    Source Control and Snapshots
    Git: Xcode doesn’t commit pull or merge source control operations on conflicted binary files when using Git. Instead, a dialog appears indicating that Git failed to merge a binary file.
    After the dialog appears, finish the operation by entering this command in Terminal:
    git commit

  • Installer created via Deployment Utility - disable uninstall before install?

    With an Installer created by the TestStand 3.1 Deployment Utility, when the Installer executes it always has to first uninstall any deployed files that are on the target system.  If I wanted to disable this feature and have the Installer just always overwrite existing files is there a way to do so?

    Hi Snood1,
    I was able to reproduce that message on my end here and unfortunately could not find a way to prevent that message or auto-uninstall.  I tried using the command prompt, but could not get a silent uninstall to occur.  I did however try it out on both TestStand 3.5 and 4.0 and each of these versions recognized that I was upgrading my deployment and installed over the old system with the new versions of the files.  The only thing I know to recommend here is an upgrade of the version of TestStand if you want to prevent this message.  If needed, click here for product information.
    Best of luck!

  • Do I uninstall before installing new drive

    Sorry, I am suuuurrree this has been asked a million times, but didn't see it in the FAQ.
    I am putting a Sound Blaster Li've into my rig, do I need to install from the CD? If so, do I install the updated driver listed in the download section over it's Both of them, there is a big pack and one that says I need it st.
    From this page:
    http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=&sOSName=Windows+XP&regi on=&Product_Name=Li've%2+5.&Product_ID=50&modelnum ber=&driverlang=033&OS=0&drivertype=0&x=8&y=4
    Thanks.

    You just install the Li've Uni-Pack, not the driver update pack. That update pack is for an update to the initial unified driver that is no longer posted.
    The problem is the only software update that'll then install are the 2 PlayCenter downloads. First, 3.02.52 then 3.02.70. The other software needs a previous installation to update.
    A way around this is to install the full cd from badboy's posting of Creative cd's. After that you just need the PlayCenter 3.02.70 update. It installs the same package as the Li've Uni-Pack but also has full versions of the software package.
