Uninstall Acrobat 8.0 Professional

Tried uninstalling acrobat 8 on computer using control panel.  Uninstall froze, and needless to say has left all contents on computer.  Tried uninstall tool rom adobe and contents were cleaned out, but it still remains in my program list and will not allow me to do anything about it.  When trying to reinstall, I get an error everytime.  Any help with this would be appreciated.

Run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool.

  • Cannot view PDF files with Reader once we uninstall Acrobat X Professional

    Our office recently installed Acrobat X Professional on all of our computers. One of our groups uses Adobe Reader to view documents in a medical records system. The documents are imported into the system via an interface that converts them to PDFs. Before the installation of Acrobat X, the documents were viewable with Adobe Reader. We were told that the medical record system is not compatible with Acrobat X, but it is with Acrobat 9. After we uninstall Acrobat X, the documents are still not viewable with Adobe Reader. We were told to unistall all Adobe products, but we are unable to uninstall the Reader. We are running Window XP Professional SP3. Is there a way to completing uninstall Reader? Or do you have any other suggestions?

    Here's my problem, running 10.7.3 and Safari.
    I installed the 10.1.3 and have been running in 64 mode. If when viewing a PDF I choose File>Save As... I get a dialog saying "Export as... and upon trying to do so I get an error message that it can't export.
    If, however, I choose the little floppy icon in the popup at the bottom I get a "Save a copy as..." and everything works as expected.
    If I delete the Adobe plugins as specified in earlier posts, I get the Preview view of PDFs in Safari and Save As works normally.
    I tend to like Adobe's viewer because it defaults to a bigger view, otherwise it's apples/oranges, er adobes.

  • Adobe Acrobate 8.0 Professional trial uninstall help

    Good morning, I downloaded a trial of Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional & I've decided not to purchase at this time. I would like to unistall this trail as I'm now unable to use Adobe Reader as the Professional version gives me a pop-up window saying I cannot use it without purchasing Adobe Professional. I've tried to unistall with "Add/Remove programs" & I get a error msg "error 1402.could not open key: HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Classes\adbanner.adbanner\CurVer. Verify that you have suffcient access to that key, or contact you support personnal." Please help - I have Windows XP.

    You need to be logged in as the administrator to uninstall the package. Sometimes you have to reinstall before you can uninstall. Even after you uninstall, you may have to use the MS clean up utility mentioned in other topics and reinstall Reader (the uninstall will like break Reader).
    Strange that you have been running AA8 Pro trial. It has not been available for almost a year.

  • I have Acrobat 7.0 Professional loaded on Windows 7; No Printer & error msgs

    I have Adobe Acrobate 7.0 Professional, loaded onto a new Dell Inspiron N5010 clone where I have Windows 7. I installed the Acrobat successfully, but the virtual printer does not show up as an available printer in my Devices & Printers.  Also when I click on the desktop icon for Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, I get these error messages:   There was an error while loading the plug-in 'Accessibility.api'. The plug-in failed to initialize.  Then when I click on the OK button, I get another pop-up window saying:  There was an error while loading the plug-in 'AcroForm.api'.  The plug-in failed to initialize.  Then when I click on the OK button, I get a final pop-up window saying: There was an error while loading the plug-in Annots.api. The plug-in failed to initialize.  Anybody ever get this set of issues???, and if so....Help!  I would be ever so grateful.  I am worried that Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional is incompatible with Windows 7.  I know that if so, it might mean I need to buy 9.0.  Can I just upgrade?  Is that less costly?  Many thanks to anyone who can offer some advice.  ---DMN

    Further to this original post ---  OK, I uninstalled and then reinstalled the program, to no avail.  I did however get a message which I had gotten before but since I was not yet aware that the program got installed with any problems, I had not noticed... This time I took notice.  The error message was clearly what it is about, at least to a great extent.  I got this message:  Warning 20225: Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item:  Adobe PDF Port Printer may be unavailable.  GetLastError:  The operation completed successfully.  So then after the reinstallation, I went into Control Panel, Printers & Drivers and made a valiant attempt to manually install a virtual printer port.  I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional installed in another computer on which I have Windows XP Pro (yes the only other computer--  I am permitted two installations for this program--  I confirmed this with Adobe), by looking at Properties and copying down exactly the text, etc. which described the names of the two possible ports, etc.  Tried to "tell" my new computer (the one which has Windows 7) that it should set up and/or look for such a virtual port, again to no avail.  I am amazed that Adobe does not allow me to even pay cash money for tech support, but they wouldn't do it.  I guess you can have just so many employees who know the programs, etc.  Anyway, as I said before I may just break down and buy the 9.0 version which the Adobe techie told me is indeed compatable with Windows 7.  He did not tell me that Windows 7 was incompatible with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional but that 8.0 is indeed incompatible.  Just googled the term "Warning 20225" along with some relevant buzz words.  I can see there is still a bit of tweaking I may be able to do before I cry "uncle!"

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional won't install with new serial number from Adobe

    Having replaced my PC I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional but I was unable to activate registration as it had already been registered and is an 'old product'.  I have contacted the Adobe on-line advisor and was given a new serial number and a file to download. 
    The set-up wizard will not complete even though I type in the new number accurately and each time I've had to abort installation as it says it can't be verified.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or explain what I might be doing wrong please?
    Thank you

    Thank you Bill for replying.
    I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting.  Activation fails each time I've tried.  As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice.  They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it.  I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
    I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
    I'll now follow the link you've given me.   Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

  • Free (?) upgrade because Acrobat 7.0 professional won't install in Windows 7

    I have Acrobat 7.0 Professional running under Windows XP pro with no problem. I understand from user forums that this version does not run under Windows 7. Does Adobe offer me a free upgrade to a version compatible with Windows 7 or am I forced to buy yet another piece of software from Adobe in order to be able to use Acrobat under Windows 7 ???

    Thank you Bill for replying.

  • Printer and printer-scanner isn't recognised by Acrobat 7.1 Professional, though it is by Reader

    I'm running Acrobat 7.1 Professional with latest updates, on a WinXP system (SP3). Printer-scanner is a Brother 420CN and a laser printer HL 2040. Neither is recognised by Acrobat, although I can print to them from Reader (latest version) and any other program. This failure to recognise printer occurred failry recently, possibly after a recent update to Acrobat? I've tried "Detect and repair", but it appears to not run. (A dialogue screen flashes and disappears too fast to read) I've reinstalled Acrobat using the msi file in the Acrobat folder. Nothing has made any diference - still no printer!
    In print set-up or print, a dialogue box asks "Before you can perform printer related taks, such as print set-up or printing a document, you need to install a printer. Do you want to install a printer now?". On selecting "Yes" another box opens stating that "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running" However on checking component services, print spooler is running! I've checked this both before and after going through this dialogue.
    I was unable to reinstall Acrobat over the present installation using the opriginal CD as it recognised the installed (and updated) Acrobat as being of a later version than the version on the CD, and I didn't want to uninstall and then reinstall as I wanted to keep the document history. (Is history in a file that I can copy and keep during an install, or is it not deleted during uninstall?)
    Has anyone else faced and solved this printing problem? Has anyone any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for your advice

    If you are using a Windows based computer, follow the instructions for resetting the AMDS >  How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    Reset the AMDS then see if the battery will charge while the iPhone is on.
    If not, try a reset.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Can't uninstall Acrobat 7 in Win 7 XP mode

    Badly in need of some advice...
    I have Win 7 Professional edition, which has XP mode. I have Acrobat Standard 7.0 installed in XP mode, which very badly in XP mode. So now I've bought Acrobat Pro XI -- but haven't tried to install it because I can't find any way to uninstall Acrobat 7.0 -- it isn't listed in Add/Remove programs (in fact, NO programs that I installed in XP mode are listed).
    I've searched (a lot) online and can't find anyone posting about this problem. Does anyone have any idea how to uninstall Acrobat 7.0 when it is installed in Win 7's XP mode?
    If nobody knows the answer to this, does anyone know whether installing Acrobat Pro XI with Acrobat 7.0 already on my computer will create problems? -- Will Acrobat XI automatically uninstall 7.0 (even if 7.0 is installed in Win 7's XP mode?!)?
    Thanks very much for any help!!

    SOLVED! And I can't believe how dense some people can be -- and here I'm referring to me. For anyone who may have this problem, this is the solution I found:
    When you've started Win 7's XP mode, you get a plain-Jane desktop screen with icons of the programs you've installed in XP mode. I have searched for a way to get to Add/Remove XP programs, but never could find it. The reason is, at least on my monitor, that I couldn't see the Start button in XP mode. Putting the cursor on the bottom of the screen just makes the Win 7 start button visible. I had to click -- just once -- on the scroll bar in order to make the XP start button visible.
    Once it was, I easily got to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs, and there, lo and behold!, Acrobat 7.0 was listed. I uninstalled it easily.
    I hope this can help someone else. It sure was frustrating!

  • Installing Acrobat 6.0 Professional on XP

    Acrobat 6.0 Professional was installed on my system when I upgraded to XP a number of years ago. The software worked without any problems. The software installation appeared to have become corrupted and I attempted to uninstall it. The uninstall was not successful and I continued with a manual uninstall. The Acrobat Installer starts and when I click on Install Acrobat 6.0 Professional I get the following pop-up error message “The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.”  I checked the Startup.ini file and noticed XP does not appear in the file. The operating system closest to XP that does appear in the Startup.ini file is WinNT. Can I install Acrobat 6.0 Professional on my XP system? If so what do I need to do next?

    Michael thanks for your help the Microsoft. The Windows Cleanup Install Tool worked great!

  • Can´t deactivate Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 Professional

    Hello,
    my issue is that i have one orginal Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 Professional.
    I installed it on my Computer, but i want to activate it on a different Computer. So i want to return the e-license Choosing Help>Licensing>return E-License.
    But i cant push the button. (the letters on the Button are gray)

    Hans,
    The fact that the Return e-license menu option is disabled (while the product still works normally), means that you are running a version of the product with a volume license serial number. Adobe discontinued the e-license program on March of 2007 so the software no longer requires an e-license to operate.
    Simply uninstall Acrobat 8 Professional from the computer you no longer need, and install it on the new machine using the same serial number (you had used on the first machine).
    That should be all.
