@Brad @ Roaring Mouse Can you upgrade to the next OS? I am running on a MacBook Pro M5 Max with Tahoe 26.2.2 — Acrobat for me is 1.76 GB

“still shows as 1.76 GB”

That’s the application size. That’s normal.

You are confusing Application Size for Memory Usage. The issue in this thread is related to out of control memory use.

@Brad @ Roaring Mouse OMG! I originally thought that was MB not GB! I didn’t update to the latest and greatest version, I usually wait until I know there are not many bugs! Granted, my work computer is, and I can check that later when I get in
