How to uninstall Acrobat (test that I decided to not sign for) so that Adobe Reader will work properly

I signed up for a free 30 day trial of Adobe Acrobat.  After that I decided not to go forward, I learned that Adobe had automatically changed all my default settings for PDF for Adobe Reader of Adobe Acrobat.  Now that the trial is over, whenever I have download a PDF doc, it is automatically registered as an Adobe Acrobat - so I can not open in Adobe Reader.  Do I need to uninstall the Acrobat from Adobe from my system (blocked software given the test is completed)?  Will be present-installing, this may affect any other aspect of my PDF docs or Adobe Reader recorded?   Would appreciate your help.  Kathie

Control Panel > programs and features, select Acrobat and uninstall. After the uninstall, that it might be good to run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and remove anything to the left of the Acrobat folder. You will need to reinstall, or at least repair, drive.

  • How to make sure that Adobe Reader has been properly patched?

    Before patching

    Adobe Reader version 9.3.0 installed via GPO worked without problem for months on Windows XP Pro SP3

    Connection method

    I copied the following files to the local C:\V932 folder:

    AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi (installation of MSI v9.3 original file)

    AdbeRdrUpd932_all_incr.msp (the downloaded file patch released in April 2010)

    Then I used the following command:

    msiexec /a AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd932_all_incr.msp

    The result

    -AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi file is updated to the date and time that the above command completed
    -4 new folders created (commune, CommonAppData, Program Files and Windows)

    Then, I created a new folder (\\servername\AdbeRdr932) on the server and copy all the contents of C:\V932 to this shared folder. After that, I created a new GPO package to upgrade the version 9.3.0

    Rebooted my Windows XP Pro machine and the upgrade went successfully. When I check help - about, it shows that I have 9.3.2

    Here's the problem:

    When I compare Adobe Connect files in the following folders, some files do not match:

    C:\Program 9.0\Reader of Adobe

    and

    \\servername\AdbeRdr932\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader

    For example:

    Properties of AcroRd32.exe in the C drive shows the version of the file 9.3. 0.148

    Properties of AcroRd32.exe in the shared folder shows the version of the file 9.3. 2.163

    There are other files (DLL, EXE) that do not match. The files in drive C: is earlier than those on the shared network folder. Now I don't know what to trust, the version information illustrated with Adobe Reader - About or file version information.

    For those who deploy Adobe Reader version 9.3.2 via GPO, you see the same problem?

    As you say-

    When I check help - about, it shows that I have 9.3.2

    and

    Properties of AcroRd32.exe in lecteurC poster file version 9.3. 0.148

    These two statements tell the whole story.

    Try one thing - Go to help--> on... I know that you have done this, and on this screen, it shows 9.3.2... thats fine

    Now take the mouse to the position on the start screen where 9.3.2 is written and click

    After clicking, you will see a different version string. I bet that now you will see 9.3.0.148.

    This is what is happening behind the scenes:

    First version 9.3.2 is levied on a registry entry

    But when you click on the start screen, that version is levied on the AcroRd32.dll

    Unfortunately there is no right way to distinguish if the drive has been properly patched or not because sometimes version to the splashscreen is supposed to change after click on (if changes will only in the files other than AcroRd32.dll)

    In your case, the installation of the Reader 9.3.2 is corrupt because the way in which you create an agreement in principle is wrong.

    Follow these steps to create an AIP and deploy via GPO:

    Perform an administrative installation

    1 copy the installer msi Reader 9.3 to your machine.

    2. create a distribution point (a folder where the installer can install the non compressed

    program files).

    3. Click Start, click Run, and then type the following command:

    msiexec /a

    4. When you receive a prompt asking you where to install the files, look for the distribution point

    you created in step 2.

    5. click on OK. When the installer has finished, all files will be on the distribution point.

    Also AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi is also present on the distribution point. (This msi is used in step 7 below)

    To add patches to the administrative installation:

    6 copy the fix msp Reader 9.3.2 on your machine.

    7. click on start, then click Run and type CMD.

    At the command prompt, type the following:

    msiexec /a /p

    Once the installation is successful, you can copy this folder (distribution point) to any server and create the package of GPO.

    It is a two-step process.

    You have tried to do in one step! and that's where you were going wrong.

  • How to uninstall Acrobat Pro XI once past the trial period?

    The purchase is not an option at the moment (first of all the business - process can 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 can't open pdf of all files, even if I have a free Acrobat Reader software installed.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It seems to me that Adobe Reader is not set by default to handle pdf files, but Acrobat is, and so after the trial expires you are not able to view the pdf files.

    Please follow the steps below to change the default program for viewing pdf files

    Launch Acrobat / Reader.

    Click on the button "Edit" on the toolbar and select "Preferences".

    A new window would be developed. On the column on the left, Higlight the 'Général' tab and on the right hand side at the bottom there is a button called "select default PDF Handler."

    Click the button and select "Adobe Reader" by default for PDF files. Click 'OK' to save the changes.

    Alternatively, you can simply right click on any pdf file and select "open with...". ">"Choose default program"and select"Adobe Reader"in the list of programs.

    Make sure that check the option at the bottom that says "always use the selected program to open this type of file".

    Click 'OK' to save the changes.

    To uninstall Acrobat you can simply uninstall in Control Panel > programs or use the Acrobat cleaning tool: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

  • How to use the Adobe Air?  Adobe Flash must Adobe Air to work properly?

    How to use the Adobe Air?  Adobe Flash must Adobe Air to work properly?

    Flash Player requires no AIR.

    AIR is a technology that allows Flash developers to make stand-alone desktop applications and mobile.  Some desktop applications of AIR (generally older) require the shared AIR runtime to exploit, while others are packaged in stand-alone applications with no external dependencies.

    Hope that helps.

    Since you talk about Microsoft, I guess you're on Windows.

    Well join adobe at www.adobe.com . But you don't need to go to remove a program in Windows. To remove a program from Windows go to control panel, select programs and features, and when he opens it opens to uninstall a program page. Just click on the program that you want to uninstall (Adobe Reader) and then click on the word uninstall menu bar. Quite.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.
