Is it safe to uninstall older versions of Adobe Acrobat?

It is safe to delete older versions of Adobe Acrobat?  I currently have:

Adobe Acrobat 8 Prof

Adobe Acrobat X Standard

Adobe Acrobat Standard XI

The reason why I ask is I get updated Adobe Acrobat X and it out of the error.  So, is it safe to remove 8 and X?

Thank you!

Yes, every facility is independent of the others.  In addition, there are known issues when you try to use older versions of acrobat together as you do.

  • Save on the older version of Adobe Acrobat Standard DC

    Someone knows how to save an older version of Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.  I try to help someone who has Adobe Acrobat Standard DC on their pc and when they transfer the file to his boss his Adobe do not see.  The boss has an older version of Adobe.  I watched SAVE AS and I even looked under reduce the size of file for the other version, but nothing.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    In the general case, a PDF file generated with the current version of Adobe applications, including Acrobat Pro DC, InDesign CC, CC of Illustrator, Photoshop CC, etc. should be easily open, visible and printable versions of Acrobat or Reader going back to Acrobat 8 or 9 at least and in most cases, even Acrobat or Reader 6!

    Only if you use the special security / encryption functionality might you encounter any backward compatibility issues.

    Also note that even the latest versions of many viewers no Adobe PDF can not completely and correctly supports PDF versions of common or even Acrobat!

  • Safe to uninstall older versions of PS?

    There are years that I upgraded from Photoshop CS4 to the CS6. Is it safe to uninstall CS4? In the old days, an upgrade updated your existing software. Now, it seems that the upgrade is really a completely different installation of the software. If for some reason, I have to reinstall CS6, do I need to reinstall CS4 first? Thxs.

    All versions of Adobe software installed in their own files. Updates do not install on top of older versions.

    You're sure to uninstall CS4 using the Adobe CS4 uninstall program on your hard drive

  • Remove the compatibility with older Versions of Adobe Acrobat

    I'm trying to scan hundreds of documents as PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I'm on Mac, the latest version of El Capitan and find that Preview 8.1, the PDF Viewer integrated for OS X, has difficulties to open a portion of my scanned documents. Interestingly, the only ones who have color in them. Black and white analysis open very well. I think it's an Apple problem, and not what I'm here for.

    Anyway, I went back to PDF it wasn't opening and Acrobat to remove compatibility with earlier versions of Acrobat. I kept compatibility with "Acrobat 4.0 and later versions. After that the file opened without problem in the preview. I noticed that the quality of the new PDF degraded slightly when I removed the compatibility. I guess that's because Acrobat must perform a new rendering of the PDF file.

    Is there a way I can create a PDF file to a JPEG file that is only compatible with versions 4.0 and later? I rather do pretty early in my workflow, and then go back and remove the compatibility and degrade image quality.

    Thank you!

    Hi Link648099,

    First thing, Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Mac El Capitan.

    The PDF created in Acrobat 9 shouldn't be compatible with version 4, please check the levers of the compatibility of the https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/understanding-pdf-compatibility-levels PDF

  • Why can I not install older versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader?

    Adobe Acrobat Reader DC could not print a PDF on my HP LaserJet 6MP printer, but there is no problem on another PC by using drive X.

    I tried to uninstall the CD player and downloaded a free download apparently XI - the only player, I could find - but the installation seems to install anything... but it says that the installation is complete.

    What should I try now?

  • Impossible to uninstall older Versions of Adobe products

    Hey,.

    I recently updated my Adobe Creative Cloud products to the latest versions (2015.5), however, all the old versions are still there (2015), or at least, that's what Windows tells me in the control panel. Tried to uninstall, but I keep to uninstall error. No error code in particular gave, said simply that it is impossible to uninstall. I ran CC Cleaner and it showed that the old files of 2015 was still there. I ran the vacuum, but the log file indicates that he failed to remove a majority of everything. I decided to rerun the times cleaner, and now it does not show that all files in 2015 are installed... but low and behold, Windows still shows that they are installed. Clicked on uninstall to see to it it erase just displayed, but Creative cloud appears with the error message that it is impossible to uninstall. Should I go in the folder Program files and delete the files of 2015? Just trying to save some additional gigs of hard drive space. If that doesn't work, then I won't bother to face it, I'm too busy. Thanks for reading!

    Let me know if I need to view the log file. It's stupid to time, so I won't waste time everyone.

    If your cc app shows that older applications are available for the installation, install to restore uninstall programs.

  • I have older versions of LR and Psalm it is recommended to uninstall older versions?

    Is - this safe/recommended to uninstall older versions of LR & PS?

    I recommend you leave these older versions for a few months and if you find that you can never get them, uninstall.

    because the plugins/devices etc. cannot have updated versions, some people need their old versions to perform a particular task.
