If I am subscribing to always have latest versions, why am I getting a message: Support Ending for Intel-based Apps This version of “Acrobat” will not open in a future release of macOS. Learn how to update to an Apple silicon version?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Apple!

Thank you for your replies. Adobe is not my only problem with this. I’ve had the same messages for my time and date application, my calculator application, and worst: my SOHO Notes, which contained all of my registration, log-in codes, banking, passwords, and diaries— all nicely encrypted — disappeared when I installed MacOS 26, which I was forced to upgrade to when Apple told me they would not address an Apple Mail issue until I went from MacOS 18 to 26. All of the files disappeared and I was told I could not go back to 18. (The Mail issue was never fixed.) The developer, Chronosnet, also disappeared, so I was sh-t outa luck.

What’s your Mac model and macOS version?

Hi, ​@Dr. Elisa Novick DSS, there is a component within Acrobat that has not been updated YET. Because the current and recent OS from Apple have had a component called Rosetta, it could work with Intel instructions. Starting with Mac OS 27, Rosetta will be removed and any application that is not 100% “M,” will not work. 

If anything, this is both a call to all software engineers that the public knows this is coming up and they NOW know this is coming up. 

I have a strong hunch that Adobe will get these last bits of software reprogramed before the release of OS 27. 

However, between you and me, I’d not be the first person to update to OS 27, best to wait a month or two. But I say this for ALL updates, not becuase of this issue.
