Adobe Acrobat Reader For Mac Os X 10.9.5
Adobe Systems has announced the release of Adobe Reader 8, the latest major release of their free Portable Document Format (PDF) readers software for Mac OS X and Windows.
New features in Adobe Reader 8 include support for Adobe Acrobat Connect, an online collaboration service that works using Flash. A new streamlined interface features user-customizable toolbars, and Reader users can fill and submit forms, save data and digitally sign documents. The software also features graphics acceleration on supported systems.
Support for Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9) was introduced with Acrobat and Reader 10.1.8 and 11.0.04. As with any new support for a new OS, unexpected issues could appear. Adobe plans to fix any discovered problems in upcoming releases.
It’s the first Intel-native version of Adobe Reader to be released. It’s worth noting that the Intel-optimized version is a separate download from its PowerPC counterpart, which may cause some confusion for Mac users and IT personnel who have grown accustomed to Universal binaries, which combine PowerPC and Intel optimizations into a single application.
Adobe Reader 8 is available in English, French, German and Japanese versions. Chinese and Korean releases are coming in early 2007. Available for Mac OS X and windows, Adobe Reader 8 is also coming for Linux, HP/UX, AIX and Solaris operating systems in 2007.
System requirements call for a G3 or better processor, Mac OS X v10.4.3 or later, 128MB RAM, 110MB hard disk drive space and Apple Safari 2.0.2.

Acrobat Reader For Mac Osx
Way 1 – How to Uninstall Adobe on Mac Manually
- Go to the Applications folder in the Finder.
- Find and remove the Adobe Reader application to the Trash.
- Empty the Trash.
But this is not the end! At this point, you have removed only the executive part stored in the Applications folder, while all the service files, caches, logs and other debris still remain on your Mac.
To delete all of them you have to go to the following locations:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
~/Library/Caches/Adobe
~/Library/Saved Application State/com.adobe.Reader.savedState
~/Library/Caches/com.adobe.Reader
~/Library/Caches/com.adobe.InstallAdobeAcrobatReaderDC
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe
~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Reader.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.AdobeRdrCEFHelper.plist
~/Library/Logs/Adobe_ADMLogs
~/Library/Logs/Adobe
~/Library/Cookies/com.adobe.InstallAdobeAcrobatReaderDC.binarycookies
*Tilda before the “Library” means that the folder is hidden.
If you don’t know how to display hidden files and folders, read our previous article How to Show Hidden Files on Mac. Or just use the Command+Shift+G (⌘+⇧+G) shortcut to go to the mentioned folders.
Once you removed all service files of Adobe Reader, empty the Trash. And voila! You’ve completely removed Adobe Acrobat Reader from your Mac.
Way 2 – Uninstall Adobe Reader with App Cleaner & Uninstaller
You can easily delete Adobe Acrobat with the help of Adobe Reader removal tool App Cleaner & Uninstaller. Just follow these three easy steps:
- Launch App Cleaner and scan your hard drive (the app does it automatically).
- Find Adobe Reader in the list of your apps.
- Select all Adobe files and click to Remove.
Please note, Adobe Reader has a lot of service files that are also used by other Adobe applications. If you have several Adobe applications installed, those shared service files will not be available for removal, until you have more than one Adobe app. If you have only one Adobe app, you will see all its service files and will be able to remove them. Also, make sure in the Preferences that App Cleaner searches for service files in the System folders.
