Hi,

 

I stupidly tried to install Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 on my new Mac with an M1 Processor, running MacOS Monterey.  I got an installation failure, of course, and then investigated, only to find out that the M1 Processor isn't supported.  😕

 

So, I'd like to fully uninstall the mess I've made.  I followed the instructions found here from Adobe, running the "Adobe Uninstaller", and the uninstaller ran, but the logs didn't look too promising.  Here are the logs from the uninstaller.

I'm not too convinced that the uninstaller got everything.  Would anyone be able to confirm for me, please, if my hunch is correct?  And if "yes", how I can go about manually deleting all the remaining files for a full cleanup?

 

Thank you!

Hi there

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble.

 

Please try to run the Acrobat cleaner tool https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html and reboot the computer once and see if that works.

 

Regards

Amal
