I downloaded What I thought was Adobe Reader but instead it was Acrobat 7 day trail. I have done the following and still when I open a pdf it opens in Acrobat.

Originally uninstalled it with Revo Uninstaller Pro, pdf's still opened in Acrobat
checked control Panel and under programs no mention of Acrobat.
Got the Acrobat cleaner tool and ran it, rebooted. pdf's still open in Acrobat
Checked default apps and pdf's are set to open with Chrome but they still open in Acrobat


I've tried everything and for some reason I have Acrobat even though it doesn't show up in control panel or my Revo uninstaller Pro.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to completely uninstall Acrobat

When you used Revo, did you do the Advanced Method and Uninstall all the remnants in the Registry?
You can use Hunter Mode to remove the rest of Acrobat from your system.

@Logical Ron ,
Download the same Acrobat version, and install it again (overwrite previous installation files), Reboot. It will make an "uninstall" entry in "Programs and Features" (Control panel). Then uninstall it from there (don't uninstall Adobe products with 3rd party apps!). I think you chose "Force Uninstall" in Revo!
