Last week, Adobe released to their enterprise IT lab collection the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool. It removes a standalone installation of Reader or Acrobat including the user preferences. Being a “Lab” product, the tool is very much in beta but it can be tested and it is great to see Adobe providing the tools to make using their. Feb 28, 2018 We have various versions of Adobe Reader DC in our enterprise and working with the uninstall codes is not an option. There are too many variables for that. The cleaner tool was an excellent solution for this but since Windows 10 1709 it keeps crashing at the end. And it crashes at every event mentioned here.

Windows¶

Note

The AcroCleaner is not an uninstaller and should NOT be used as such. Adobe provides the utility as a least resort to repair machines after a failed or partial uninstall. Always uninstall DC products via standard, supported methods.

The Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool removes a standalone installation of Reader or Acrobat, including any leftover preferences and settings remaining after a standard program uninstall.

Acrobat

While most installs, uninstalls, and updates operations happen without incident, there are cases where a user may not be able to complete such tasks due to some registry or file conflict on the machine. This is particularly problematic when permissions set on plist entries or files prevent the successful installation of new installs and/or updates. The cleaner tool fixes such issues by cleaning up corrupted installations, removing or fixing corrupted files, removing or changing permissions registry entries, etc.

Note the following:

  • The tool provides options for removing problematic Acrobat items only while leaving Reader untouched and vice versa.

  • The tool cannot be used with any Creative Cloud products or Acrobat delivered with CS products. It can only be used for standalone versions of Acrobat and Reader.

  • In some scenarios, the cleaner tool for Windows might affect some preferences common between Acrobat and Reader. Therefore, when both Acrobat and Reader products are installed on machine, Adobe recommends the remaining installed product be repaired after running the cleaner Tool.

Known issues¶

  • If you have both Acrobat and Reader installed, removing the product that is the default PDF viewer can result in the other product failing to become the new default PDF viewer. When this problem occurs, run Repair on the remaining product and reboot the machine to make the remaining product the default PDF handler.

  • For Acrobat Pro Extended 9.x, the tool leaves the Acrobat entry in Add Remove Programs. To manually remove this entry, run an uninstallation from the ARP entry or manually remove the following registry entries:

    • Windows 32 Bit OS: HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall<Product-Code>

    • Windows 64 Bit OS: HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall<Product-Code>

    • The product code is language specific. For example, for EFG it would be {AC76BA86-1033-F400-7761-000000000004}

  • The Cleaner Tool removes the Reader 9.x or Acrobat 9.x installation even if the user chooses Cancel at the Files in Use dialog during uninstallation. The File in Use dialog appears when you try to uninstall a currently running product.

A user-friendly software solution for safely removing all the traces left behind after having removed Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat

Acrobat Cleaner Tool Adobe

Adobe products can come in quite handy since they come with great feature-sets and intuitive interface, yet it is very hard to completely get rid of them should you decide to uninstall them. The best way to make sure all traces are removed is to rely on dedicated cleaning apps or to try Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool.

As the name implies, this tool can only be used to erase the leftover items of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, so if you are interested in thoroughly cleaning your PC of another Adobe app, you need to keep looking.

The software utility does not require any installation so you can carry it on your USB device and run the app off it whenever needed. It can efficiently remove all user settings or preferences that are left behind after having uninstalled the said apps.

You will need to run Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool and specify the Adobe product you want to thoroughly clean. This way, if you want to keep another Adobe program on your PC, its settings will not be modified.

Next, the app will scan your PC and detect all leftover files. If this process fails, you can manually specify the folder where the remaining items are stored.

If the product you are interested in removing is Adobe Acrobat, please note that its traces can only be cleaned if you installed it as a separate app, that is, not as part of a Creative Suite.
