Can't uninstall doPDF and its components
Can't uninstall doPDF and its components
doPDF is a good program, but I want to uninstall it because I'm getting some issues with the add-ins for MS Office.
From the Control Panel I tried to uninstall the various components. Each uninstall ran without any errors. But the programs are still there. I have done this several times and also rebooted the PC. Each time after running the uninstaller the programs are still there. I checked my folders. I can see a lot of stuff in C:\Program Files\Softland. And a lot of stuff in the registry.
In Control Panel I have the following programs that won't uninstall.
In my Printers folder I still have the doPDF 8 printer driver and it still works.
Please tell me how to uninstall these items.

Re: Can't uninstall doPDF and its components
Hi,
You will need to uninstall doPDF first and after that you must uninstall novaPDF - "NovaPDF 8 SDK COM" is not distributed with doPDF so you must have either installed the SDK separately and you'll need to uninstall it too.

Re: Can't uninstall doPDF and its components
Thanks for the reply, but I don't think this is correct. I completely removed all Softland programs from my PC (see below for details). I then did a clean install of doPDF. After that the following programs were shown in 'Control Panel > Uninstall'.
The problem in my original post was that I could not remove any of these programs. Every time I ran one of the uninstallers it seemed to work, but the program was still there afterwards. The way I fixed it was to install doPDF again over the top of the faulty installation. The installer told me that doPDF was already installed and asked if I wanted to remove it. I said YES and it removed doPDF and all the other associated programs. I was then able to make a clean install of doPDF without the Office add-in, which is what I wanted in the first place.
