Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI trial on my Mac

I have a licensed version of Acrobat Pro X. I accidentally downloaded and installed Pro XI trial. Now whenever I try to use Acrobat Pro the trial version comes up and wants me to buy it. How can I get rid of XI trial? Just clickingMacintosh HD-> Applications->Adobe Acrobat XI Pro->Acrobat Uninstaller fails, saying that some processes are running.
I am using OS X 10.8.5 (12F45) on my mid 2012 Macbook Air.
I use the Chrome browser.

I feel your pain. In fact, I have been suffering the same pain for several months. I am happy with Acrobat X and wish I had never downloaded the XI Trial. I still have not found any way to get the XI trial out of my life (i.e., off of my MacBook Pro). Nor have I found any way to make Acrobat X (instead of XI) my default for opening .pdf files. However, after going through the steps listed below, Acrobat X once again "acts like" it is the default application for opening .pdf files. That means now (even though XI STILL shows up as the default when I select "open with") when I click on any .pdf file to open it, Acrobat X opens it, sparing me the MADDENING appearance of Adobe's notice saying my XI trial has expired and I have to buy XI to make that notice go away. If you have found a better solution, please let me know! If you have not, I hope this will work for you:
Select (i.e., highlight; do NOT open) a .pdf file that is on your desktop.
Then (in Finder) choose File > Get Info.
In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with”
Select "Acrobat X" from the pop-up menu.
Then click "Change All".

Why no Acrobat Pro 9 trial versions for Mac

I received my upgrade box for CS5 and the instructions said to delete (uninstall) Acrobat Pro 9 and then re-install it from the included disk. No big deal, I installed CS5 then uninstalled Acrobat as instructed, popped in the DVD of the new Acrobat Pro 9 that came in the box and up pops a message that every Mac users knows asking what I'd like to name the blank DVD and if I would like to mount it? That means the DVD is bank and never been burned. Confused I put it in my laptop with the same result! It was a blank DVD from Adobe!
Looking at the back of the disk it was clear it had never been burned to, you can tell when a disk has an image on it or not.
So thinking I'm clever I go to the download site to download a trail version of Acrobat Pro 9 thinking I could install it and when the question comes up to use it in trial mode to enter a serial number I could just enter the number and be done with it.
So I followed the procedure and waited for the emailed link to tell me where to get my download from, 10 minutes later it showed up, I followed the link and the pull down option only showed 4 versions to download, all for Windows! I searched and searched and could not find a Mac version anywhere.
Today I was able to get customer service on the phone who was glad to ship me another copy, they at firs suggested I just download the demo (just like I tried the night before) and I told them I could not get a link for the Mac. She put me on hold, then came back to the phone apologizing and telling me I was correct, there is no trial or download version of Acrobat Pro 9 for the Mac. I would have to wait for the replacement DVD.
So to me the question is I would have a hard time believing there are more Acrobat Pro 9 versions on PC's than on Macs even though there are so many more PC users. I've never met a single Acrobat Pro user on a PC and I work in IT/MIS at several very large companies. Only the Mac people ever seem to want the pro version, sometimes a few PC users in Marketing or legal want the Regular Acrobat but not the Pro version.
So Adobe why no Acrobat Pro downloads or trials for Mac users? Seems the long standing good relationship between Mac users and Adobe continues to be neglected and diminished. This is hardly the only item I've come across in the last few years where Adobe treats Mac users like secondhand users.

What extra work! two, three lines of extra code (may just one) to put a time limit in, that can be overridden with entering a bought serial number. Even shareware peopel do it.
And I remeber when Acrobat only worked on Mac's. You see it was introduced to Mac's first. Microsoft wouldn't allow it until version 3 or 4. If I still had my 7100/66 I might could prove was I one of the beta Testers. But that machine was traded in on the G4-500 (which I still own).
Most major software companies will come out with a new application on the Mac first. Because Mac users tend tobe willing to try out something new on the cutting edge. Then when its prefected they come out with a PC version, and forget about the Mac community.
Look I am 61. And I didn't just fall off the turnip truck yesterday. I've been around since before the days of the moden internet. I started with Buliten Boards on 300 baud modem on an old fashion POTS line. Cost me a fortune in Phonebills
So don't discount my experiences so lightly. I've used appliactions such as ATM Aldus PageMaker (yes you heard right Aldus). I've use Word Perfect for Mac and PC back when it was owned by WordPefect, then Novell) I've use Microsoft works when it came out for the SE/30. Lotus 1-2-3 both on Mac and PC, FaxSTF, and other that are now none existent on the Mac. Chance are I was using Computers about the same as some of you and probabaly earlier than some. I lived it.

Adobe acrobat pro DC trial download error (Mac)

When I try to download the trial version of Adobe acrobat DC pro on my mac, it gives an error "Acrobat installer encountered an unexpected failure. Please try again. If it continues to fail contact Adobe support". I have tried doing in about 5 times, it failed every time. Any fixes? It would be greatly appreciated.
Version of Mac OS: OS X (10.8.5)

No I'm running 10.8.5. (and can't update due to a critical application incompatibility).
Thank you for clearing this up.

Unable to unistall Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Trial for Mac

I downloaded the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Trial for Mac on my MacBook Air. I decided it was not worth the money to purchase. How do I get rid of it? It has expired, but now I cannot open my regular Adobe Reader?

Hello,

I uninstalled the Acrobat Pro XI trial. Unfortunately, I cannot access my paid up Acrobat 10 Standa

I uninstalled the Acrobat Pro XI trial. Unfortunately, I cannot access my paid up Acrobat 10 Standard Edition

You installed Acrobat XI Pro Trial and you had Acrobat X Standard installed.
If Acrobat X Standard got removed then need to either reload it with your Acrobat X Standard DVD or contact Adobe to get access to the Standard download via your Adobe ID.

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?

Acrobat Pro XI trial message

Why do I get an Acrobat Pro XI 'trial offer message when I try to open a document in acrobat reader. The message prevents me from opening the documents with one click. I then have to save the document and use open with instead.

Ok, I realise there is another problem. The screen shot shows Acrobat XI Pro - that's the current version.
But the serial number you have is from an old product (sold 2008 until 2010), CS4. That includes Adobe Acrobat Pro, but it is version 9.
So, you may find you have Acrobat Pro 9 in your Start menu. Certainly you can't use the serial number you mentioned, from CS4, to make the Acrobat Pro XI demo work.
So, I guess the next question is
- did you buy Actobat XI Pro separately
- or is it just a demo you wanted to try?
(Installing Acrobat XI probably uninstalled Acrobat 9, which is another and rather awkward problem).

Acrobat Pro XI fails installation on Mac Pro with Mavericks 10.9.3

I've downloaded the Acrobat Pro XI Trial installation package twice. Each time I run the installer it fails. As the installer proceeds I see the following messages:
Copying Files
Running Scripts
Validating Packages
As soon as the "Validating Packages" message appears it is replaced by a message indicating that the Installation Failed.
In the PDApp.log file I see a number of error messages like the following:

I've just subscribed to Adobe Acrobat Pro, downloaded it to my MAC

I've just subscribed to Adobe Acrobat Pro, downloaded it to my MAC and every time I try to open a PDF it quits unexpectedly.

If by 11 you mean 11.0.0, I suggest that you update to 11.0.09 and try again.

Having install issue: acrobat pro xi (trial)

I keep having problems installing acrobat pro xi trial version. Initially the error code I got was Error 16...after numerous re-install attempts the installation is interrupted and I am forced to hit "Finished" to exit from the install window. If I try to re-install the same thing will happen.
I have gone through the folder setting options and rebooted only to encounter the same issue over and over. Working on windows xp.
I want to try the acrobat cleaner: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
but I'm nervous that it will delete other Adobe software installs(CS4) on my computer.
Is there any hope?

Hi Monica,
I'd like to assist!
Error 16 ususally comes up due to insufficient user permissions.
Please follow the steps mentioned in the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error- cs5.html
Let me know if this helped!
Kind regards, Stacy

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.

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files...

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files, when I click on icon I get this message: the last time you opened Acrobat, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its window again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the window yourself. There are 2 options: Don't Reopen or Reopen Either choice leads to a window that pops upend says please wait while we launch Acrobat and then window just closes quickly.

Hi mbt6833,
You may goto control panel and then go to program and features.
Select the Acrobat pro and chose the option change from the top. Fallow the onscreen instruction a windows will pop up where you need to choose repair.

Cannot install Acrobat Pro from Cs4Web Premium. Mac osx lion

I have had a problem for a while that although the updater keeps announcing an update and allows its download it will not update saying that Acrobat Pro needs re installing.
I have tried to reinstall several times but each time the install hangs on "Preparing to install".
Today I bit the bullet and uninstalled Acrobat Pro to try and resolve the problem and I still, after numerous attempts, get the installation hanging up at "Preparing to install".
I have repaired disk permissions and no change.
The disk image I am using, fully paid CS4 Web Premium, was downloaded today.
I need Acrobat Pro to function on a daily basis and any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you for your time
Will

I am having the same problem as Willwinch, and it is increasingly upsetting me. My Acrobat Pro 9 was running perfectly fine until a HD failure. I installed and restored my files from a time machine backup and right away received a "Suite Product Activation Needed" error message. After chatting with Adobe customer support, I was advised to ininstall and reinstall Acrobat Pro. Fine, did that only to get an error that said "Licensing for this product has stopped working.". More customer support chatting indicated that the activation process for Acrobat Pro 9 is not supported with Lion. That is worth repeating, the ACTIVATION process is not supported. They said nothing about the actual software as much as I tried to get the "support" to clarify.
To make things more frustrating, my only option to get Acrobat Pro would be to upgrade to version X... Which I do not care to do. I paid $2600 for the Master Collection 16 months ago and I was hoping I could have functioning software a little longer than that. To make things EVEN MORE frustrating, because I bought the suite, I can only upgrade to the CS6 suite. Not only do I not care for Acrobat Pro X, I don't care for the entire suite at the moment. I am comfortable with CS5.
There has got to be some license file I can access and copy over or some other method of activation that will allow me to use my legitimte paid-for software that obviously works. I teach at a university and for years I have been a strong advocate of not pirating software to my students for a bunch of reasons. One of those reasons was "You will be glad you did when you need support". It is sad that is not true. I am not about to start pirating Adobe software, but I sure am going to be less likely to advocate against it from now on.
EDIT: This gets awesomer. I finally called a sales rep and he said I could upgrade to just Acrobat Pro X rather than having to upgrade the entire suite... which is sort of a consolation prize since I was hoping to get Acrobat Pro 9 working as it was. However, there was a little emailing and account snafu which resulted in Adobe charging my card twice AND me getting locked out of my Adobe account. Now I get to wait 5 to seven days for $199 of the $398 I was charged today to be refunded. It is amazing how easy money flows into Adobe and how difficult "service" and "product" are to get out. The sales rep was at least friendly and not condesending as the tech help was earlier.

Uninstalling Trial version of ELS 6 also uninstalled Acrobat Pro 10 from ELS 2.5

I currently have a licensed copy of eLearning Suite 2.5 on my machine. I downloaded the trial version of ELS 6 about a month ago, but decided just to buy Captivate 6 as a standalone product. So I uninstalled ELS 6 today (which includes Acrobat Pro 11) and installed Captivate 6. I then discovered that Acrobat Pro 10 was no longer present on my machine, so I'm assuming that the uninstall process for ELS 6 must have somehow uninstalled it as well. I have the serial number to activate ELS 2.5 if I were able to download it again, but it's no longer available for download through the website since the new version has been launched. I don't have the install disk, since it was just purchased for download. How can I reinstall Acrobat Pro 10 on my machine?

Acrobat 10 was uninstalled when you installed Acrobat 11 as part of the installation process.
If you originally chose the download option you can check to see if the software is still available on your order page at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ. If it isn't you can contact our support team and they maybe able to re-enable the download.
If you did not choose the download option but have lost your installation media then I am not aware of any locations which you can download the older versions of the eLearning Suite from.
