Are current Adobe Apps including InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, XD, Dreamweaver, and Acrobat compatible yet with Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1 - I'm using an iMac Retina 4k, 21.5 inch, 2019.

    The official status from Adobe is here:

     

    https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/download-install/kb/macos-sonoma-compatibility-common-issues.html

     

    I see that they now removed InDesign (Adobe added it a few weeks ago as "compatible with known issues"), and justly so. While some users don't have any issues with InDesign on Sonoma, others experience serious problems. I wouldn't recommend to upgrade to Sonoma yet if you need to use InDesign.

    The one I posted was dated mid-December. Later than the one @leo.r  posted.

     

    InDesign does have at least one important bug which can be fixed by using the GPU feature.

    Oh ok I see... So Adobe's compatibility status has yet another level of conflicting info: different status by country.

     

    I now see that my Google search brought up the Canadian page, where InDesign doesn't appear:

     

    https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/...

     

    You posted the info from Adobe's main site, where InDesign now does appear (so yeah, they didn't remove it from there as I originally claimed).

     

    And on InDesign system requirements page, Sonoma is not listed:

    Great level of consistency.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
