The Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool removes a standalone installation of Reader or Acrobat, including any preferences and settings that may be preserved during a standard program uninstall. The tool has both a user interface as well as a command line interface.While most installs, uninstalls, updates, and repair 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 registry entries or files prevent the successful installation of new installs and/or updates. The Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool is designed to fix such issues by cleaning up corrupted installations, including removing or fixing corrupted files, removing or changing permissions registry entries, etc. The tool provides options for removing problematic Acrobat items only while leaving Reader untouched and vice versa.There are 2 versions for download: AcroCleaner for 10.x and later: Use the AcroCleaner Version 2 for 10.x and later to cleanup failed or partial uninstalls of 10.x and 11.x products. AcroCleaner for 9.x: Use the AcroCleaner for 9.x to cleanup failed or partial uninstalls of 9.x products.
