Is Adobe Acrobat Professional or standard 2020 available in 64 bit

Because the one we download installs as x86 only.

Hi @sachin286135900c24 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out. Yes, Acrobat runs as a 64-bit application. For more information please go through the help pages listed below:

I have to say that, despite the statement "Is Acrobat 2020 64-bit compliant?
Yes, Acrobat runs as a 64-bit application. " I am not convinced at all, I think a mistake has been made. Because it then links to the system requirements, which are not at all relevant, and just confirm it runs on a 64-bit system.

The thing is, 64-bit support was a new feature in 2022, and Acrobat 2020 is frozen with the features of Acrobat towards the end of 2019. So, why would there be 64-bit support. (I have more specific reasons: there are no 64-bit updates either).

BUT... big question... why would you care? 64-bit Acrobat will not be faster, will not be more reliable, and will not integrate with more apps and systems. ("Faster" and "more reliable" are convenient untruths used by marketing departments who have no clue about the technical isssues). So I see no reason to be concerned that there is only 32-bit support. I would be much more concerned that Acrobat 2020 reaches end of life in January 2025, and there is no sign of a follow-up product. I suspect that to get support we'll all need to go subscription (but I have no inside information).

Well, personally I do care because Adobe markets this as a 64-bit application but it isn't

Where does it market Acrobat 2020 as a 64 bits application?

As @Test Screen Name says, it is not relevant, as there is absolutely no advantage to having this to be a 64 bits application, as long as 32 bits applications are running on your OS.

As it runs on modern macOS systems, and macOS did scrap 32 bits support, at least the macOS version is 64 bits.

Well, I'm sorry to say but if someone reads the system requirements

one might conclude it's a 64-bit piece of software. For example I am running it on Windows 11 and here it's mentioned: Windows 11 (64 bit)
Probably for the end user there will not be any noticeable performance impact. But anyway, most applications nowadays are compiled using 64-bit. Adobe should step up it's game. Even if this was released late 2019, I still think Adobe is lated to the 64-bit party.
