Are Apple Silicon macs allowed for Distribution of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?

When filling up the form at https://get.adobe.com/reader/licenseform for permission to distribut Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, the options of operating system do not include Apple Silicon macs, only Mac OS Intel and Mac OS PPC.

Given the fact that Apple computers are on their Silicon architecture, is this permitted though it is not explicity stated?

The “Authorized Operating Systems” section in the agreement mentions that OSes selected are nonetheless a part of those listed at https://helpx.adobe.com/reader/system-requirements.html which mentions “M1 Apple Silicon processor”. Does that mean that computers with the Apple M1 chip are covered, and the Acrobat Reader software can be distributed to them, even though the license does not state it?

Hope to hear from someone in Adobe licensing on this.

Thanks.

    Hi ​@Tilt_2018,

     

    Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

     

    I have forwarded this concern to the designated team, and they are looking into making the changes to the form.

     

    Meanwhile, please proceed with selecting Mac for Intel, and you should be good to go.

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Regards,
