When I tried to print a PDF file from Acrobat Pro on my MacBook Air using an Apple Pro display running Sequoia 15.1.1 today, the top menu went grey and Acrobat became effectively non-responsive. That is, all that Acrobat would do when I clicked on the main screen is that Acrobat would beep as if I was ignoring a dialog box. Exploring further, I found the same thing happening every time I would try to print or do something in Acrobat that, I'm guessing, might bring up a dialog box. For example, trying to open the preferences box. The only way I could find to get out of this was to force quit the program. After chasing this problem for quite a while, I noticed that the dialog box was opening on my laptop display instead of the Pro Display I was running the program from. I have my laptop sitting to the side and barely use the screen.
My question is what the heck. Why does Adobe open modal dialog boxes on a different display (screen) than the user is using for the program? Why not put it on top of the window you are interacting with as the Apple standard seems specify. Why would a preferences box be modal? Who does that? While I'm at it, why doesn't Adobe use tools that are up to date with Apple standards that have been around for years. It's diabolical.
I am posting this also in case somebody else has this problem in the hope that they will somehow possibly come across this and save themselves the trouble of figuring out this Adobe Acrobat quirk on their own.

Hi, @Michael3077892594ri ,
afaik it is possible to define a main screen in a multi monitor environment.
What monitor is defined as the main monitor?
If it is not the Apple Pro display than you try to define that monitor as the main monitor.
Regards
Stephan
