I recently got a new computer with Catalina version 10.15.6 OS. I have tried to dowload and install DC Reader but it fails every time. I've tried on both Firefox and Chrome but the download fails everytime and I uninstall. Any suggestions? 5) Haihaisoft Reader for Mac. Hiahaisoft is an Adobe Reader for Mac alternative that is distinguished from other PDF readers and editors because of its small size. The total size of the installer amounts to only 3MB. Which is, of course significantly lower than another PDF reader such as Adobe Reader. Available to download directly from the Mac App Store, the PDF Reader from Kdan Software is one of the most powerful and popular PDF management tools for Apple computers. It functions as a file.
Most current releases of Adobe apps are compatible with macOS Catalina 10.15.
Can I use my Adobe apps in macOS Catalina 10.15?
We've updated most current apps to 64-bit architecture. The following versions work in Catalina, but have these known issues.
Adobe app | Version(s) compatible with Catalina |
---|---|
Adobe Creative Cloud apps | 2020 2019 |
Acrobat Pro & Standard DC | 2019 (subscription or non-subscription) |
Adobe Acrobat Pro & Standard 2017 | 2017 |
Adobe Connect | 10 |
Adobe Digital Editions | 4.5 |
Adobe Photoshop Elements | 2020 |
Adobe Premiere Elements | 2020 |
Most older Adobe apps were created using 32-bit architecture and do not work in Catalina. We have no plans to update apps that we no longer support or develop. The following table lists some common 32-bit Adobe apps that are not compatible with Catalina. (It is not a comprehensive list of all older 32-bit Adobe apps.)
Adobe Product | Status and alternatives |
Creative Cloud apps – 2018 release and earlier | No updates planned. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest release of Creative Cloud apps. |
Captivate | Update scheduled end of 2019 |
Creative Suite apps | No updates planned. We recommend that you upgrade to Creative Cloud. |
Fuse | No updates planned. Find free characters on Mixamo. |
Presenter Video Express | No updates planned. We recommend moving to Adobe Captivate. |
SpeedGrade | No updates planned. Certain features have been integrated into Premiere Pro, which is 64-bit compliant. |
Uninstall 32-bit apps before upgrading to Catalina
Before you upgrade to Catalina, we recommend that you uninstall your 32-bit Adobe apps. Older uninstallers are also 32-bit apps and don't work in Catalina.
If you already upgraded to Catalina, you can use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to uninstall older versions of Creative Cloud apps.
If you've kept Acrobat DC or Creative Cloud apps up to date, they are already 64-bit compliant.
Adobe Acrobat Pro For Catalina
You can update your apps using the Creative Cloud desktop app. See how to update your apps to the latest versions.
