I am having same problem! I don’t know why Adobe can’t tell me how to remove the old version so I can install the new one. It is imposssible to check important documents with adobe reader.

When I print any PDF file the text comes out in goobly-gook, just weird symbols. How do I correct this?

Like everyone else I was getting Error message 1714 and have been going around in circles and tearing my hair out until seeing the posting from Marc on 7.3.08 referring to Maggie Hallinan’s solution – it works !!! I am so happy – I now have Version 9 installed and working properly, including printing thanks to Windows install clean-up.

Can’t print pdf files after updating from version 8.1.2 to version 9. I can open files but it will not print,says unable to print…is printer ready,which it is. It gives no choice to find printer, simply to exit.

I have Adobe 6.0.0, 7.0.8, 8, 8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.3 all installed on my computer. I was going to upgrade to 9.0. Should I remove all the old versions before installing 9.0 ??
