Looked at the impressive list of crumbs I have with the little mouse of EasyFind.app. What have I done so far since yesterday ? None is left in my computer, but crumbs of them are everywhere. So, no, deleting Adobe related material may not cause pain to installed Adobe software: None is left (flash, creative suite, photoshop elements, acrobat reader in its multiple incarnations.). And given that Adobe has over the past years become more and more invasive of my system, I have tried to remove all Adobe-related stuff from my computer. Other potentially deranging things may lurk hidden in libraries or in the system folders, like plugins for safari as suggested by Test screen name, possibility daemons or other like robots acting with root privilege and calling the mother ship Adobe as and when they decide to look for updates or other stuff, possibly preference files, etc (this is the unknown part, the one for which I seek advice). Try67, deleting the app is certainly needed, I agree, but this is not enough IMHO. Test screen name, I agree with your reservations, I have the same, but what is your recommendation ? More to the point, the Downloads folder is a folder containing things which are not installed yet.
Reynices, sorry but my downloads folder is always empty and, anyway, I have routed all my downloads to the desktop to avoid the issue which seems to plague you (having a junkyard in the Download folder).
Does anyone on this forum know how to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader DC from my mac ? On this forum where I have been routed after asking for advice in the Acrobat application menu > "Help", I saw a reply for Windows installs and saw an earlier similar question from a mac user, unanswered (the unsatisfactory recommendation was simply to discard the Acrobat Reader folder from the application folder). On my mac and on the Adobe website, I find no trace whatsoever of any uninstaller. Now that I succeeded in issuing the recommendation letter, I want to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, no longer needed, from my mac. Without Adobe Acrobat connected to my browser (Chrome was specified, I first used Chrome and concluded with my regular browser Safari), I was prevented from authenticating, hence prevented from issuing the recommendation later. Thats what I expect based on experience with. If I click and drag to define the area I want to select, that rectangle is the only image that gets copied to the clipboard.
It was needed for reviewing the "as-uploaded" recommandation letter and then authenticating it. I have Reader 8.1 installed on my XP Pro PC, and when I click once with the Snapshot too, it selects the whole page and copies it to the clipboard. I did so because it was required in the process of sending a recommandation letter to the Houston University Law School (Law school Admission Council, Newtown, Pa 18940). I just installed yesterday Acrobat Reader DC on my MacBook Pro (mac OS 10.12 Siera).
