Apple Silicon: Unable to install Acrobat using the Creative Cloud Desktop App on the new Mac Big Sur

 

Unable to install Acrobat using the Creative Cloud desktop app on the new Mac Big Sur?

 

Acrobat Reader DC, Acrobat DC, Acrobat 2020, and Acrobat 2017 are compatible with macOS Big Sur (version 11).

 

Solution 1: Update the Creative Cloud Desktop app to the latest version and then try installing Acrobat. 

 

Solution 2: Install Acrobat DC on your new M1 Macbook/Apple Silicon using the direct download link: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html

    Good morning, 

    I have an Acrobat Pro 2020 licence and a new Macbook Pro M1 Silicon. I can download the Acrobat program successfully, but during the first sign-in the licencing application window simply freezes and stays white. I have had help from two Adobe technicians who couldn't solve the problem - we know it isn't download, etc. related. I have also turned off all virus checkers, tried different browsers, reinstalled teh software countless times, etc. What else could I try? thanks!
