How to transition Adobe to 32-bit app compatibility to Mac OS High Sierra and later 64-bit technology?

I received a notification from Apple that "To ensure that the apps you purchase are as advanced as the Mac you run them on, all future Mac software will eventually be required to be 64-bit."

"This app will not work with future of Mac OS and needs to be updated for future compatibility. Contact the developer for more information".

Thank you for any assistance in this issue.

    Whoa, that is old, amazed it runs on High Sierra. Happily, it's free. A 64-bit Acrobat Reader was released about 3 years ago. (Note: the app called Adobe Reader was renamed as Acrobat Reader). You can get it from http://get.adobe.com/reader

    Be warned, it looks very different!

    downloaded the file per your suggestion.

    You’re right. It does look different!

    Thank you.

    The apps are fine for High Sierra, but not for the next system, in 2019.

    Which apps do you have, exactly, including full version number?
