Removing Acrobat 9 Standard from my pc's Add/Remove screen

My pc is on Windows XP Professional.
I am unable to remove "Acrobat 9 Standard" application from my PC's "Add Remove Programs" screen.  The application shows up in the list and when I select the Add/Remove option I get this message.  The program is not now on my PC.
"This action is only provided for products that are currently installed".
I tried the Acrobat Tech support suggestion:
To use the microsoft special products removal program.  Microsoft has since removed that program (because of technical difficulties it's use caused) and Microsoft now suggest that I use the normal Add/Remove procedure for removing a software package from my pc.  That process does not work.
Note:  Acrobat 9 Standard was removed originally, but the program was still displayed on the Add/Remove screen.  Now I want the program to go away from my Add/Remove Screen and do not know hot to make it happen.
Help?

  • I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 through time until I am currently using version X, which doesn't work with Office 2013.  Can I upgrade to version Standard XI?

    Over the years I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 to currently working with version X.
    However, since getting a new laptop it doesn't work with Office 2013.
    Can I upgrade to Standard XI?

    Upgrade pricing now only applies to version 9 and X. So if you have a retail serial number for X, you should be able to upgrade. (Or consider subscription).

  • If I remove all photos from my iPad, does it remove them from the photo stream also?

    I don't think so, I think it stores them on the cloud. I just did a test on my own iPad and although I deleted the source image in the Photos app the image remains in the Photo Stream

    Many apps are not completely removed if the .app file is trashed (which is what I believe you've done so far).
    If you don't want to dig through the system to manually remove library files, I recommend the use of AppCleaner, which does the job for you.

  • Removing Acrobat Toolbar from Office 2011

    I've searched the Web and all the solutions to this don't seem to work with Office for Mac 2011...
    So ... I made the mistake of opening Adobe Acrobat Pro (The full app) yesterday, and when I did, it automatically (despite asking me and me saying "no") installed into all the Office apps the highly annoying and totally unnecessary Acrobat toolbar.
    Does anyone know how to remove this thing? I've tried everything I can thing and everything I've found on the Web.
    Halp!

    There are reports of this happening in Office2011 on the OfficeForMac Forums. 2011 has returned the ability to use Macros. And the PDFMaker is a Macro. Acrobat installs this in any version of Office that can use Macros, whether it has the ability Function. In 2004 you went to customize menus and unchecked PDFMaker Then you you looked for PDFMaker in Acrobat and and Office.  And yes Acrobat indeed does trigger its installation.  Its been so long since I had to do it but at one time there was a Kludge to prevent it from happening. You had remove the offending item then create aBlank folder and name it exact  same as application (Macro) and place it in place of the original file. In UNIX which is the underlying basis for the Mac OS. you can write over top of a Folder with a File.
    2011 is almost line by line port of Office2010 for PC with some features left out. And there are some cases where they didn't or proof read the code to leave out items that will only work on PC. One such problem is That you can not use the word "File" or Fileserver in the name of any File, Folder, Harddrive, of fil Server paths. Something that is acceptable on Mac's for as long as Mac have been. Also certain forbidden characters such as <>| \/ "  subscripts and superscripts and numbers can not proceed names  (document1.docx is aceptable - 1document.docx is not).  They put in a piece of PC Code that looks for this stuff. So for office2011 Mac, any way you can't name a File, Directory Hard Drive, or Fileserver in a PC, you can't in Office Mac 2011. It doesn't affect Office 2008, or 2004.
    So if that insertion code Macro, is still in Acrobat 9, or even 10 it will install PDFMaker whether it can be used or not.

  • Why when I removed smart playlists from my iPhone are they removed from iTunes?

    So I was trying to remove some playlists from my iPhone then reload them so the sort order would be correct.  But after I removed the playlists from my phone then synced with iTunes, the playlists were removed from iTunes.  Why?  Can they be recovered?  I had a few I really liked.

    Hi Makki28,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your iPhone. If you are having issues with incomplete transfers of your purchases from your iPhone to iTunes on your Mac, you may want to double check that you are following the steps as outlined in the following article:
    Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
    If you are still having incomplete albums, you may also want to try directly redownloading the purchases from within iTunes, as noted in this article:

  • Removed hard drive from fried Mac, how to remove files?

    My G5 died, officially.  Would need to spend too much $$ to fix it, so we bit the bullet and got new technology, iMac 21.5"....love it!  The only problem is that in the turmoil of trying to get the old Mac to work, we asked the tech guy to just remove the hard drive and we would have the files removed.  He mentioned some kind of case with a USB hook up that will show it as another drive and we can just copy/move the files. Is that just an external drive?  Can't remember what he told us exactly and can't contact him currently.
    Any advice would be appreciated. Bobbie

    SATA enclosure.  Better with Firewire than USB, especially FW800, as the transfer rates are significantly higher with FW800. 
    Toaster (drive dock) is a nice solution, as it allows you to easily swap bare drives.  An example from OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/NewerTech/Voyager/Hard_Drive_Dock   The FW800 capable unit is the better choice, IMHO.  With a dock, you can then store drives in a nice ESD case from Wiebe Tech like these: http://www.wiebetech.com/products/cases.php
    Standalone enclosure: an example from Acomdata: http://www.acomdata.com/p-262-samba-quad-interface-external-enclosure.aspx which is falling in price still.
    The Quad units support eSata, which is a nice option in any event.

  • Is it possible to remove Adobe PDF 8.0 from the list in "Add Printers"

    When I add a printer on my system, there is a printer named "Adobe PDF 8.0" on the Add Printer list. I believe that this is a remnant left over from previous versions of the operating system (from Leopard or so). Can this item be deleted from this list? It isn't functional at all, and I'd rather not have it cluttering up the list. I've searched through the system looking for anything that could be causing this item to be listed there, but there appears to be no .PPD file or any entry in a .plist file that I can find. I've seen other people asking about this printer, but more from the perspective of "how to get it working" or "how do I print to PDFs now?". That isn't my question. I just want to nuke this item from my "Add Printers" list like it never happened. Thanks for any leads you can offer.
    See screen shot below if you are confused as to what I am talking about. The top "Adobe PDF 8.0" is from my computer. The second one is something someone is incorrectly sharing from their computer (which I will remove as soon as I get access to it).

    I tried manually removing some files but still the Adobe PDF 8 appeared in the Add Printers > Default view.
    I then ran the Adobe Acrobat uninstaller and this successfully stopped the Adobe PDF 8 "printer" from appearing. Thankfully the Uninstaller also created a log file that I have posted below showing all that was removed from the Mac. Note that you probably don't have all the files listed, especially if you have already removed Acrobat 8 from this Mac, but if you remove the files that are remaining then this will be sure to stop the printer from appearing.
