I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and unfortunately didn't think to check compatibility when I upgraded to macOS Catalina. Now the following message pops up on a regular basis:
"Adobe Acrobat Pro" will damage your computer.
This file was downloaded on an unknown date.
[X] Report malware to Apple to protect other users
[Show in Finder] [OK]
If I go to the file in Finder and try to open it:
"Adobe Acrobat Pro" needs to be updated.
The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information.
[Learn More...] [OK]
The "Learn More..." button sends me here:

When I try to run Acrobat X Uninstaller, I get pretty much the same message:
"Acrobat Uninstaller" needs to be updated.
The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information.
[Learn More...] [OK]
I have also tried the AcroCleaner (https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html) to no avail.
The selected product is not found installed on this machine.
What would be the best way to completely uninstall? I could start by moving the "Adobe Acrobat X Pro directory from my Applications to the Trash, but I feel concern about other things that are left behind.
macOS Catalina Version 10.15.7
Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 10.0.0
Thank you!

If both the uninstaller and cleaner tools are not working I think your only option is to trash the application itself.

Thanks for the reply! I figured that much and was hoping to get more details about any other files that may be left behind that I could clean out manually. Do you or does anyone have guidance on this?
