Adobe Pro on Parallels (Mac M series CPUS) - worked it out

Report · Mar 28, 2023

Hi Community Members,

After waiting hours with Adobe support (who were not helful at all and gave up) I decided to try a few options when installing the Adobe Pro Version.

Installing Adobe Pro directly gave me muitple errors - mostly this - 0xc000007b.

1. I went ahead and installed just Acrobat Reader and that worked fine. Could use all the fuctionality of the product.

2. Signed in to Adobe Acroabt Reader as a licenced users (for the pro version). So far so good.

3. Selected Edit PDF from from the icon - Edit a PDF and it said "downloading additional features". I waited.

4. Its upgraded the reader to the pro version (3 mins or so) and asked for a reboot.

5. Bingo ...working.

I hope this helps and dont rely on Adobe support....
