Acrobat Pro X (2010) worked well for over ten years. I opted for Acrobat 2017, a non-subscription "lifetime license". Posting "lifetime license" over and over may gain you sympathy (including mine) but it doesn't change the basic fact that, if you want Acrobat Pro to work over Catalina, you have only 2 options: One is the current stand-alone Adobe Acrobat 2017 the other is one of the subscription plans that Adobe offers.
You are not entitled to anything other than your "lifetime license" not expiring. Unless specified in the license or you purchase a maintenance agreement that guarantees upgrades for a certain number of years, professional software never does. As such, there were “mismatches” that needed to be reconciled by both Apple and application developers after MacOS 10.15 was officially released.You do have a "lifetime license" (as you put it) for the use of Acrobat X (or 8, 9, XI, 15 or any other stand-alone version). There were even changes between what was released and what was sent to developers such as Adobe a week to a few days earlier. There were very many additional significant changes before MacOS 10.15 was actually released to the customer. My guess is that Adobe started testing their apps, but just failed to test their installers before the public release, when customers started running into this problem.Īlthough Apple had so-called “beta releases” of MacOS 10.15 last June, the fact is that the June release was nowhere near what the final MacOS 10.15 ended up being. I would not characterize that as "last minute", and should have been plenty of time for Adobe to test their installers and their apps against the new version. Apple released macOS Catalina in beta form to developers on June 3, 2019, a full four months before it was released to the public on October 7, 2019. Major OS changes are supposed to be released in advance to all software partners and developers, way in advance of the OS's release so that programs can be adjusted.Īpple traditionally waits until the last minute to notify its partners like Adobe.Īpple's Catalina OS was released less than a week ago and I'm surprised Adobe got out an Acrobat fix in such a short time responded: A large part of the problem is Apple, not Adobe.
