In addition to @Amal. 's. reply, if your documents are stored locally, removing Acrobat will not remove the files. However, I'm sure we'd all feel better if you backed them up first, just in case.

Looking ahead, always download Adobe applications directly from the Adobe website. Pirated versions can include malware so please run anti-virus and anti-malware scans as soon as possible.

You can download a free version of Adobe Reader using this link: https://get.adobe.com/reader/. Please note that Adobe Reader is not Adobe Acrobat. You can open and view PDFs in Adobe Reader, but you will not be able to edit them without purchasing an Adobe Acrobat subscription.
