  MacKeeper is one of the worst pieces of software you can install on a Mac. Will provide you no protection whatsoever. The only thing it will do is cause problem.

  Remove the notice and forget about MacKeeper.

  Print > save as PDF - use an excerpt (part of Mac OS X), so Adobe Reader should have no effect on that at all.

  As for the error "file corrupted", simply uninstall the Reader app will not affect it. Follow these steps:

  Mac/HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins

  

  Trash the files AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin

  Mac HD/Applications

  

  Trash the application Adobe Reader

  [user] / Library/Preferences

  

  Trash the com.adobe.Reader.plist file

  To access the [user] / Library, hold down the 'Option' and click on 'Go' in the FInder menu.

  Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe

  

  Trash the drive (full record)

  Empty the trash.

  Download the installer FULL here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  Quit your browser, and then reinstall the drive.

  Run it from the Applications folder and agree to the license agreement.

  You should have no problem with Safari PDF files download.

  Unfortunately, ANY PDF file that says it is damaged.... You will need their trash.

  Hi Rachel

  Go file > Scripts > Image Processor which opens this Panel

  

  It will be easier if you put all the images in a folder, you can select this folder and all the files it contains batch. The numbered sections are in the order you need to follow, so nice an easy.  Don't forget to assign a location record well, or you might struggle to find their.

  An alternative, FI you re using Windows is Irfanview.   It has more options than the Image Processor, but maybe it's a little harder to use.

  Good luck
