AcrocleanerDC v.7

AcrocleanerDC is a dedicated command line utility designed to completely remove Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and Acrobat Reader DC from Windows systems. This utility goes beyond a regular uninstall by removing leftover registry keys, services, and folders associated with these applications, ensuring a thorough cleanup of your Adobe PDF software.

Key points about AcrocleanerDC:

• It completely removes standalone installations of Acrobat Pro DC or Reader DC, including any leftover files and settings after a regular uninstall.
• This tool is designed for situations where a standard uninstall or upgrade procedure fails or problems, such as corrupted files, licensing issues, or registry conflicts that prevent a clean removal.
• This cleanup tool is not a universal uninstaller and should never be the first step in an uninstallation; Adobe recommends using official uninstall methods before using this tool.

Why use it

AcrocleanerDC cannot be used with Adobe Creative Cloud products or versions of Acrobat installed as part of the Adobe CS suite — it only supports standalone versions of Acrobat and Reader.

Because some preferences are shared between Reader and Acrobat, running Acrocleaner may affect remaining Adobe PDF software if both are installed. In such cases, Adobe recommends repairing the remaining software afterwards to restore functionality.

The tool offers command line options to operate silently or automatically and can clean detected installations system-wide or from specific locations.

Users should note that complete removal with AcrocleanerDC may affect other Adobe applications, so caution should be exercised if multiple Adobe software is installed.
