Adobe Acrobat Pro Student and Teacher Edition M1 Silicon

I want to purchase the Adobe Acrobat Pro Student and Teacher Edition for my Mac. However, the only version that is available at my local retailers is the 2020 edition, and acording to Adobe's website “Classic versions of Acrobat - Acrobat Pro 2017 and Acrobat Pro 2020 currently do not support native mode.” That being said, there was an updated version of Adobe DC (version 21.007.20091) released in September of 2021 that does run natively  on Apple computers with Apple Silicon M1 processor.

 

I'm only going to make this purchase if they update the Adobe Acrobat Pro Student and Teacher Edition to a version that can run natively on my M1 computer. Does anyone know if/when Adobe plans to update the Adobe Acrobat Pro Student and Teacher Edition to the September 2021 version (21.007.20091) or later?

    This is a great question, I would love to know the answer. I've had Acrobat Pro 2020 for over a year now and made the upgrade to M1 processor a few months ago. I would really like a native version of this application! As far as the OP is concerned, I'm sure just an acknowledgment that work is in progress would be sufficient.  How about it Adobe?

      I've been waiting for this response too. One would hope that they'll be updating 2020 to run natively on M1. The M1 has been out for almost the same time as Acrobat 2020.

      I have no knowledge of the official releases or updates, but I suspect a native mode version will be for a newer release such as 2022 or 2023, not updated an older version. Acrobat 2020 was released about 5 months prior to the first M1 systems. However, one never knows...
