      Be absolutely certain you've found and trashed every PR file, extension,
      color profile, etc before reninstalling.




Adobe used to have a tech doc on manually uninstalling PR. I can't find it any more, but I did manage to keep a text file of its contents. Here's what it said:

How do I manually remove PressReady 1.0 from the Macintosh?

Adobe PressReady 1.0 software does not include an uninstaller. The removal of PressReady 1.0 from your Macintosh must be done manually.

To manually remove PressReady 1.0 from the Macintosh, perform the following steps:

Step 1:
From the desktop, double-click the Macintosh HD.

If you have important files located in the Adobe Circulate folder or the Adobe PressReady folder, you will need to relocate them to an alternate preferred file location before proceeding to Step 2.

Step 2:
While holding down the shift key, click the Adobe Circulate and Adobe PressReady folders, drag them to the Trash.

If you have the retail version of Adobe Acrobat 4.0 installed on your machine, go to Step 4.

In this example, there is only one Adobe printer plug-in named Adobe Epson Plug-In #00. Your system may have more than one printer plug-in listed. All listed plug-ins must be deleted.

Step 7:
From the Extensions folder, repeat Step 6 for the following:

The Adobe Postscript 3 file
The Adobe Printing Library file
The Adobe Printing System file
All files that begin with PR followed by your printer model

You may need to scroll to locate the above items.

Step 8:
If the dialog boxes depicted in Steps 8 and 9 do not appear proceed to Step 10.

If you have created a desktop printer, the dialog box below will appear when you drag it to the Trash. Click OK.

Step 9:
Click OK.

Click the Create Adobe PDF file, drag the Create Adobe PDF file to the Trash.

Step 13:
From the Printer Descriptions folder, repeat Step 12 for the following:
