I looked for an uninstaller. None. I did a manual uninstall using EasyFind and AppCleaner. Things are zippy again (knock knock).
I'll stick to Preview and Skim.
The Behemoth Adobe Built. Never again.

I like Gryphonent's comment - the one about it taking up 415.8 MB of disk space - "Adobe, are you out of your mind??????"
Behold, biggest fattest stupidest slowest most unpredictable piece of bloatware ever "built". And the files that it generates in every conceivable nook and cranny of your Mac probably amount to another 415.8 MB.
But let's look at the bright side. With Adobe out there, we never have to worry about a dystopian sci-fi vision like "The Rise of the Machines" coming true. No terminators in our future. No need for John Conner.
Thanks, at least, for that, Adobe. And for your piece de resistance, Flash. Yep. We're safe.

So it's a good idea to have Adobe Reader installed, even if it's just for every once in a while.

After a half hour of hanging I quit and rebooted and tried again. Same thing.

Here I got version 10.1.2 dated „14. September 2011“.
Kind of chaotic.
Trying to contact Adobe one is pushed around in circles.
Perhaps Mr Adobe will read this.

Very embarassing if you have a lot of pdfs. The only thing is to read pdf with safari or preview but it crashes preview. :(

For those with the Reader installed on Case-SENsitive partitions and receiving the error popups when the Updater is run:
This is an OLD BUG, the people at Adobe seem to have not heeded previous bug-reports.
Please try the Renaming Steps found in this post, made by Techtronic:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2160596#2160596
(I called-up Terminal and placed symlinks with ‘ln' in related ways. This needs to be done whenever a Major Update is installed.)
Also please file a proper bug-report here:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=49
PLEASE submit a bug-report as the sheer number of them ought to raise concerns how wide-spread this problem is.
Thanks.

The size of the file to be downloaded from MacUpdate is shown as 2.6MB. Clicking that link instead takes one to the Adobe Reader site. The file that was downloaded there is AdbeRdr910_en_US_i386.pkg.zip, a 44.1MB file. When I checked the zip contents, version 910 is listed, not 913 or 9.1.3, and every file in that zip has dates on or before Feb.27, 2009.
Has an earlier version mysteriously crept back into the Adobe website? Has the MacUpdate guru flipped his link? Or, do I adjust my meds and continue to use Skim?

On restarting the app, the "About Reader" box shows "Version 9.1.3".

For those who want a tangible item to store in their software archives, then you can download the actual updater app at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Macintosh
You'll find a list of updaters for everything from 6.0.2 up to today's 9.1.3 update, with PPC and Intel versions noted.

When a PDF opens in Safari using the Adobe plug-in, the Safari print dialog is superseded by the Adobe Reader dialog. This eliminates the ability to change paper size!
If you want to be able to use other paper sizes, and still want to have your PDFs open in Adobe Reader vs. Preview (and it's Safari plug-in), just take the following steps:
1. Remove the file /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
(this can also be done in Adobe Reader: File:Preferences:Internet:Display PDF in browser OFF)
2. In Terminal.app (as the correct user): defaults write -app Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool Yes
3. In the Finder, select any PDF file and "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
4. Under "Open with" select Adobe Reader.app and click "Change All.."
PDFs will now download to your default download folder and automatically open (depending on security settings) in Adobe Reader.

Can anyone verify this? Or reccommend a way to remove security from unecrypted and non-password protected PDFs? Thanks!

PDFpen is not free but it's reasonably priced and pleasantly easy to use.
