Uninstalling Acrobat Pro 9

I have installed the trial version of acrobat pro 9 previously.
I tried to uninstall the program from the control panel, but fail to find the program from the add/remove program checklist.
What could I do to uninstall it? I am using Win7.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I repeat, Do you have a newer version of Acrobat Reader on your computer? Sometimes newer versions of Reader interfere with older versions of Acrobat. I had Acrobat 6 and Reader 8 installed and had all kinds of problems.

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?

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.

3D tryout: Do I need to UNinstall Acrobat Pro V7.x.x first?

I tried to install the Acrobat 3D tryout but it didn't work. I already have Acrobat Pro V7.0.5 on my machine. When I run the 3D installer I get this message: " Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate." and... it does :-(
Should I completely UNinstall my current Acrobat Pro V7.0.5 before trying to install the Acrobat 3D tryout? Is this the only way? Thanks!

Catch 22
I moved my files and data to a new machine running some os as the old one - XP SP3 - most apps made it, but Acrobat 7 didn't. So, I uninstalled it, then tried to re-install from my cd - installshield just disappeared. So, tried to re-install 6 then upgrade, but it says "setup has determined that you already have a more functional product installed. " argh. Any ideas?

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.

Uninstalling Acrobat Pro X after installing Acrobat Pro Xl?

I noticed that when I intsalled the new Acrobat Pro Xl as part of Creative Cloud, Acrobat X was not removed.
Since the app alone uses almost 1 GB of space, I would like to safely remove the app, and any related files that are not required for Xl.

Jeff,
In the "Adobe Installers" folder, when opening the Acrobat uninstaller (named "Acrobat X Pro"), the uninstall optons are:
Acrobat X Pro (checked by default)
.– Suite Shared Configuration CS 6 (checked by default)
Remove Preferences (UNchecked by default)
Should I run the uninstaller with the options as is?
Thanks

Uninstalling acrobat Pro X when trialling XI

I have downloaded Acrobat Pro XI to trial but it suggests uninstalling Pro X. how do I trial XI without removing X from my computer and not having either when the trial period is up.

Please refer to the version interoperability chart in the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/problems-installing-removing-acrobat-reader.html
Installation of Acrobat 11 trial uninstalls previous version 10.

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".

How do I uninstall Acrobat Pro XI after the trial period has elapsed?

Buying is not an option for the moment (company processes to follow first - could take weeks!!) and the "readme" files give instructions that cannot be followed because there is no menu available now that the trial period has expired. Right now, I cannot open pdf files at all, even though I still have the free Acrobat Reader software installed.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It seems to me that Adobe Reader is not set as the default to handle pdf's but Acrobat is, and hence after the trial expired you are not able to view the pdf's.
Please follow the steps below to change the default program for viewing pdf's
Launch Acrobat / Reader.
Click on the 'Edit' button in the toolbar, and then select 'Preferences'
A new window would come up. On the left column, higlight the 'General' Tab and on the right hand side at the bottom there's a button called 'Select Default PDF Handler'
Click the button and select 'Adobe Reader' as the default for PDF's.Click on 'Ok' now to save the changes.
Alternatively, you can simply right click on any pdf file and then select 'Open With..' > 'Choose Default Program' and select 'Adobe Reader' from the list of programs.
Make sure the option at the bottom is checked that says ' Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'.
Click on 'Ok' now to save the changes.
To uninstall Acrobat you can simply uninstall it from the Control Panel > Programs or use the Acrobat cleaner tool : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Outlook Quick Print no longer works with Acrobat Pro v11

Hi All,
Prior to installing Acrobat Pro v11 on a Remote Desktop Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) we were able to use the Quick Print function for attachments within Outlook (Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit), although the default printer was physical printer the application would always open with Acrobat Pro even after disabling it as a default application. Upon uninstalling Acrobat Pro v11 the issue no longer occurs and the quick print fuction has been restored to normal.
If there is a known technical solution it would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,

rgrosz789, thank you for your suggestion.
Your code worked but caused run time error at the following line as below.
Sub Test()
    'Dim app As CAcroApp
    Dim app As Object
    Set app = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    app.Show 'Raises run time error
End Sub
I finally uninstalled Acrobat Pro 9, reinstalled it, then, my original program worked fine.
Something must have gone wrong in Acrobat 9 :-)

Acrobat Pro XI - Crashes when Acrobat Preferences is Opened

Hi
Brief History:
I am in the UK and run Mac OS X 10.8.2. Other Adobe products are CS3 Master Suite and Acrobat Pro 8. All installed on the Start Up Drive.
Downloaded and installed the Trial version of Acrobat Pro XI, intent on UpGrading on the basis of a functional copy of Acrobat Pro 8 running on the Mac and duly registered in my Adobe Account.
Happy with the Trial version the UpGrade Licence was purchased and the Serial Number was used in an attempt to convert the software to a Licenced version. However a message, something similar to that shown, declared:
The Serial Number entered is valid. Acrobat cannot find a qualifying product.
Whilst seeking help on the Adobe web site a ‘Chat’ system message popped up and subsequently a very helpful CS Agent ‘talked’ me through the problem. With the aid of Challenge Codes Acrobat Pro XI was made to accept the input of the Serial Number.
It seemed to be the end of the problem, gone was the nag screen and everything seemed to be working well, leaving me to get on and enjoy using XI?
For a few days everything seemed OK, then I tried to view a PDF from a web site and a message appeared:
Adobe PDF Document
There is a problem with the Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
If it is running, please exit and try again. (4.9)
This subsequently appeared at every attempt to view any PDF from the web.
Downloading PDFs from web Links to the Mac and then opening them works without any problems.
Remedial Actions:
I have trashed the Acrobat Pro XI Preferences File (.plist), used Disk Utility to Repair Permissions and rebuilt the Launch Services Database amongst other things. None of these actions have made any improvement to the situation reported.
The prospect of uninstalling Acrobat Pro XI was considered but due to the problems converting to the Licenced version I decided that being able to partially use Acrobat was better than having nothing at all.
I moved on to see if anything could be done in Acrobat Preferences.
Acrobat Pro XI Crashes:
Opening Acrobat Pro XI, either with or without a PDF displayed, Acrobat opens and a few seconds after the Acrobat > Preferences Link is hit Acrobat Pro XI crashes. This happens for as many times as you care to try.
A substantial Report is generated and is sent to Apple but not Adobe.
Acrobat does not crash until Preferences is accessed.
I am asking for help here because having had two more ‘Chats’ on the Adobe Help web site, the first Agent deferred my request ‘until the arrival of the Acrobat Experts‘. After waiting 4 hours as requested, the second Agent ignored all the information tendered asking only a few questions before informing me that ‘This Case will have to be answered by Telephone’.
The fact that I always clearly inform that using the Telephone is difficult for me due to hearing problems was apparently of no consequence to this individual.
I Telephoned and waited for an hour before hearing a human voice, thankfully the line was quite good.
Unfortunately I was committed to other tasks and needed to break off from the conversation before any real progess was made.
The CS Agent arranged for me to receive a Call Back. The time for the Call Back came and passed along with a few more hours. Whilst I was making ‘another’ cup of coffee the phone rang for about 5 ‘rings’ and cut off. Naturally it was a withheld number, this may have been the expected call?
The Case that had been opened for this problem was upgraded with a copy of the Crash Report. On the next visit to my Account Case History all of my Cases were found to be marked as ‘Withdrawn‘ or ‘Not Appropriate’. IMO Adobe taking such retrospect action is not appropriate.
I will start the ‘on-line help’ journey again tomorrow but will not be holding my breath awaiting a successful outcome and feel that it may be better to ask some questions in this Forum:
1. Am I entitled to 90 Days, or any other period, of Free Support from Adobe?
2. What is the best way to proceed toward getting a resolution to these problems?
3. Can anyone offer a direct solution to the Acrobat Pro XI Crashing problem?
Any input will be gratefully appreciated, best wishes, G

I met same problem.
I removed a plugin :

then it worked.
