Except for some small, minor leftover files, all you need to do is put the main app in the trash and delete it.
Thank you gentlemen, it worked perfectly. Are there any residual files that may cause any problems and need removing?
leftovers = as Kurt said, a few small ones are likely - none harmful in any way = Adobe is a very old developer working with Apple since both were young
If you wanted to dig for a handful of now inert files totaling under 2 MB, there will be a .plist file in your Preferences folder, and some leftover data, also in your user account, under the /Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/ folder.
Hi Kurt, Chitlins,
Many thanks for your kind assistance. As you have probably guessed I am relatively new to the Mac environment, it is many years since I used one, and I am grateful for all your help.
Thanks to you both, once again.
Peter.

And very different from OS 9 and earlier. 🙂
Hi Kurt,
Thanks for the email. The last Mac I used was a Macintosh 11x way back in 80's. I did use one of the earlier MacBooks but then went to PC's and stayed with them until last year when I got an iMac 27". A beautiful machine.
Regards,
Peter.

Our first computer was an IBM XT clone running DOS 3.1 with 640K of RAM and a huge 30 MB hard drive (what in the world would we ever do with all of that space? 🙂 ).
I started using Macs around OS 8 in prepress production after many years on proprietary Scitex workstations (CMYK only color correction and retouching machines for the printing industry). After building and using a fair number of my own PCs using most versions of Windows, I finally bought my first Mac - a used Power Macintosh 7500. Kept moving up from there and pretty much haven't looked back.
Nothing against Windows itself or using apps on them (have a Windows laptop and Win 10 installed on my Mac), but Macs really are better. You don't have to spend anywhere near as much time on them to keep them running. And of course, virtually no malware in comparison. At least for now.
You're welcome. In my experience, everything usually turns out to be pretty easy.
My first place for "How do I do ____" is Mac Help = in the Finder > [Help]menu > Mac Help > { search term(s) }
welcome back.
