Uninstall Adobe Reader 8.1.2 on Mac OS 10.4.11

I think I botched the install and would like to uninstall and reinstall cleanly. How do I uninstall?

>In all my years of using free Acrobat (now reader? - why the change in name?
The name was Adobe Acrobat Reader until version 5.0. As of 6.0 (2003)
they changed it to Adobe Reader.
>
> what(): Unable to determine registration filepath!
Could be this issue:

  • How do I uninstall adobe reader from my iPad 4?

    I can only preview first page of documents on a website that says I should be able to open them in adobe reader. how can I fix this? Do I need to uninstall adobe reader and reinstall? How is that done on an iPad? I did update the reader, turn off iPad and restart. Made no difference. Thanks.

    I suspect that the particular type of your documents may not be supported by the Reader mobile products.  (However, you should be able to open them in the desktop version of Reader on your Windows/Mac computer.)
    Do you see an error message?  Could you provide a screenshot and add it to your next reply?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Uninstalling Adobe Reader

    I've just attempted to uninstall Adobe Reader because of pdf problems in Safari. Unfortunately, I still have the app but it can't be trashed because it is in use. Does anybody have any advice? Many thanks.

    Quit the application before trying to delete it. Also see below:

  • Uninstalled Adobe Reader 11.0.0

    For Adobe
    I have an iMac with OS 10.8.5 and I'm using Safari web browser. After I had INSTALLED Adobe Reader 11.0.0 I have experienced problems on several web sites where either side can not be displayed or may not be printed. Since I also have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and use it without problems on another iMac I decided to uninstalled Adobe Reader 11.0.0. I have moved it to the trash. I have emptied the trash and I have restarted the iMac. I've set Acrobat 9 Pro to be the program to use when loading web sites and I have reset Safari. Nevertheless, getting the message Adobe Reader blocked on this site.
    When I go into Safarie, settings, security, manage site settings appears Adobe Reader 11.0.0 still in the list of Internet accessories.
    I think that there still must be something on my iMac? How do I get it thrown out?

    Try this:
    Go to Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    Locate the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files.
    Copy them to a flash drive or other removable media, and remove that media so it cannot be accessed by OS X.
    Trash the original files from that folder.
    Empty the trash.
    Relaunch Safari and see if it helps with PDFs.
    Open Acrobat 9 and see if it still works as it did.
    IF both work, you can "dump" the plugins from the removable media.

  • Can't update or uninstall Adobe Reader 9 on Windows 7

    I keep getting a message to update Adobe Reader, but when I try I get a message:
    'Adobe uninstall update failed could not open hkey-local-machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run\optionalcomponants\imail'
    I tried also uninstalling it through the control panel. Shows it uninstalling with a progress bar and then the same error message pops up and the progress bar goes in reverse till finally there is no uninstalling of the Adobe Reader.
    Is there some other way to uninstall and reinstall Abobe Reader? Are there instructions available somewhere to uninstall Adobe Reader manually which include the registry keys to unistall for Adobe Reader 9? I have seen step by step instructions for earlier versions, but I don't know if those would be the same for later versions like Adobe Reader 9.

    Can you please try the following:
    1. Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en
    2. Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
    3. Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Vista/Win7Start -> type "cmd". In the section above you should be able to see a command.exe. Right click on the same and select Run As Administrator)
    4. In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:
        i. cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
       ii. subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)
    Try updating Reader now, it should work.

  • Cannot uninstall Adobe Reader 7.0.8...keep getting "Error 1402" message..

    Hello. I use Windows XP Home Edition. I am trying to uninstall Adobe Reader 7.0.8 so I can then install version 9, but I am not able to uninstall 7.0.8. During the uninstallation process, I get the following error message:
    *****Error 1402. Could not open key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{C523F39 F-9C83-11D3-9094-00104BD0D535}\Programmable.
    Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.*****
    I went to another forum and asked for some help there...the guy there gave me some steps to follow, and I did so. Here they are:
    1. Deleted "Adobe Reader Speed Launch" shortcut from Startup folder.
    2. Deleted the Adobe folder (which contained 2 other folders: Acrobat 6.0 and Acrobat 7.0) from C:\My Computer\Local Disk\Program Files. I had to use a separate program (provided by my helper who gave me these steps to follow) called "Unlocker" to accomplish this, since, originally, when I tried to delete this Adobe folder, I would get a message saying "Cannot delete pdfshell.dll: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." Unlocker solved this problem, and was able to delete the Adobe folder.
    3. Rebooted machine
    4. Ran CCleaner's registry cleaner
    5. Rebooted machine again
    6. Tried using CCleaner's "Uninstall" utility to uninstall Adobe Reader 7.0.8. When I tried this, I got the same "Error 1402" message as listed above.
    7. Backed-up my registry
    8. Tried to just delete this particular offending key using RegEdit...but when I tried, I got a message saying this:
    *****ERROR DELETING KEY
    Cannot delete Programmable: Error while deleting key.*****
    I really need some assistance with this...at the moment, Adobe Reader 7.0.8 still seems to be installed on my machine (it's still listed in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel, and it still shows up in CCleaner's Uninstall Utility)...despite the fact that, as I mentioned above, I used Unlocker to delete the Adobe folder from Program Files. Also, at this moment, no pdf files will open on my machine...so this is quite an urgent situation. Does anyone know what else I should do now? Is there something I need to do regarding the "Permissions" for this particular registry key?
    I appreciate anyone's assistance...thanks.

    Hi..I went ahead and ran the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. I used it to remove "Adobe Reader 7.0.8." After doing this, I checked in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel to make sure that AR 7.0.8 was gone, and it thankfully was. Then I deleted the WICU, ran CCleaner's registry cleaner, rebooted, and tried to install Adobe Reader 9.0. When I tried this, I got the following error message (this occurred during the time when the installer was "writing system registry values"):
    *****ADOBE READER 9 INSTALLER INFORMATION
    Error 1402. Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{C523F39 F-9C83-11D3-9094-00104BD0D535}\ProgID.
    Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.*****
    What should I do now? Do I need to do something about the "permissions" for this key?
    Thanks to anyone with advice...

    You can extract pages with Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

  • Silently Uninstalling Adobe Reader 9

    Hi all,
    I am looking to silently uninstall Adobe Reader 9 due to the same exact problems posted in the below link:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5c482
    *It's the C++ Visual Runtime Error due to the appdata folder redirection.
    Does anyone have a way to uninstall with either the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 (which I used to roll it out) or do I need to work with msiexec and it's parameters? I will be uninstalling from all Windows XP-based machines if that helps.
    Thanks,
    Joey

  • Unable to uninstall adobe reader 8.16 on windows xp

    I wanted to uninstal adobe reader 8 after finding I could use adobe reader 9, I uninstalled adobe reader and ended up having to restore my system after a server problem with the new software putting adobe 8 back. I tried to uninstall it again after switching off the machine for a while for the serer to recover, I still cant uninstall 8 even after installing adobe reader 9.

    I tried on the day to navigate the adobe site on dial up, adobe should cater to people on a budget if they are going to service us with a free reader. Personally I would prefer another program to decode a pdf document that does just that - without all the other stuff I will never use. Today I found I may be able to uninstall adobe 8 by running kb404307, I couldn't even find a download page for the fix. Once again I got frustrated with my pc and adobe.
