If you recently ran into the “The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available” error with Adobe products, most likely Adobe Reader then you have a problem which will not go away. Typically uninstalling does not help or even was the cause of the problem.


Adobe has a tool called Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool that should solve your problem.

While most installs, uninstalls, updates, and repair operations happen without incident, there are cases where a user may not be able to complete such tasks due to some registry or file conflict on the machine. This is particularly problematic when permissions set on registry entries or files prevent the successful installation of new installs and/or updates. The Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool is designed to fix such issues by cleaning up corrupted installations, including removing or fixing corrupted files, removing or changing permissions registry entries, etc. The tool provides options for removing problematic Acrobat items only while leaving Reader untouched and vice versa.

Give it a whirl by downloading the tool at Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool.
