After 10 years happily on a 2015 iMac running Monterey 12.7.6, I've bit the bullet and bought a new iMac running Sequoia 15.7.2. I'd be grateful for some advice on which Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat versions will suffer the fewest hiccups on this OS. It'll be hard enough to master the operating system, and I expect quite a few new and unfamiliar features once in the programs.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Thanks all. So both the latest Illustrator and Photoshop are running fine on Sequoia 15.17.2. That's a relief (or at least no choices to make).

And if Acrobat has no options but the one Adobe's advertising, I think that's predetermined too.

I wouldn't try to migrate older versions of Illustrator and Photoshop. But do any of you have any sense of how different the current Acrobat is from my beloved Acrobat DC from 2016?

Illustrator 30 runs just fine on Sequoia.

And so does the released Photoshop version.

Can you actually install anything else than the curent Acrobat? I feel like that one actually installs whatever it wants.

I don't think you can control Acrobat, no previous versions, no options about updates.

Congrats! I myself have a Late 2015 (running Ventura through OCLP) and also anticipating a future replacement soon. That being said, unless you can successfully migrate older existing apps over, the only ones you can install now are the latest and the second-last version. Good luck!
