Adobe Reader Macos Monterey
Gro Bert
After upgrading my Mac desktop OS to Monterey V. 12.01, my (free) Adobe Reader (32bit) won't work. Which adobe product works with Monterey? How do I find/download it because I can't open existing adobe reader app to get an update.
I am on macOS Monterey 12.2.1 and having the same issue. I have downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader DC twice and it still says this even after closing and restarting my browser. It says installation complete after opening the download and running through the prompts but this is still happening. How is preview suppose to help in this situation? Also, how do you add signatures to preview?
Thanks. I tried the link. Version 12 doesn't appear in scroll down menu to select Mac operating system for correct Reader download, only lower versions. Does that mean Adobe hasn't developed an upgrade of the Reader yet for Monterey OS? What have other Monterey OS users tried?
I'm having the same problem as Lookingforsolutions2. I believe this is the scroll list they are referring to: There is no option beyond 0S 11.X. What's weird is that the page gives a message that my system is 10.14-11x. I've changed everything to open with Preview. Will see how this works with Thunderbird when I want to save an email as a pdf.
Nothing at all happens, not even in Preview (which supposedly reads PDF now without Adobe Acrobat). These are downloaded statements from my bank and I am now in tax season unable to see any PDF file. I have nothing happening on double click OR even selecting OPEN from the finder menu. I noticed my Adobe reader was GONE so went to get.adobe.com and downloaded Adobe reader installer, installed SUCCESSFULLY but will not open any of these statements. NO PASSWORD is on these docs, nor is it apparent that PDF reader thinks there is (no box comes up asking for a password, or any box at all). NOTHING is happening with these files.
Thanks, but preview did not open the file either. After several tries and searches in the forums, found this tidbit in Google searching, and despite it's seeming obvious (and that this setting was already there), I did it again, and lo and behold it worked, using the same files as before, double clicking.
Click the PDF file's icon in the Finder to select it. Choose File > Get Info. Click the triangle next to Open With, and choose Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat from the pop-up list (if your preference is not on the list, choose Other to select it). Click Change All.Sep 15, 2022"
Reboot your Mac. If you still cannot open a PDF with Preview or Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, then the PDFs are damaged and contact your financial institution about this issue. Call in advance to visiting the nearest bank branch to see if you can get your 2022 tax info from them in person with appropriate Identification.
I have macOS 12.6.3 and have hundreds of PDFs that I can open randomly in either Preview or the current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Not the operating system or applications as the cause in your case.
Thanks. These were files I had opened a few months ago prior to the upgrade. After another search and applying the tip I mentioned below, the files opened without issue (set the default app in finder without trying to open the file, already set there but re-set it). Also, preview never attempted launching to open these files either. Finally the newly installed Adobe Acrobat was my selection in the 'get info' step posted below, and although it appeared to already be set as the default application, after changing it to another reader and back, it worked and the PDF files now all open fine. Didn't have to restart the computer.
I'm sure you are aware of this, because with a limited search I've seen multiple posts asking for help with this, most notably:
-scrolling-is-incredibly-laggy-and-slow/m-p/10652846
The issues brought up in this post fully summarize my problem -- and BEAUTIFULLY surmises a likely cause of these problems. However, while a recurrent issue, I've seen very little interest from your company in addressing it...
I have Creative Cloud, with auto-updates active for Adobe Acrobat, and I have a 2020 Macbook Pro, 16gb RAM, good graphic card (although as beautifully pointed out in the blog post above, said graphics card is not even utilized by Adobe Acrobat)... I should not be having issues with this program. I am wholesomely disappointed in this program. I'll be uninstalling it until these issues are addressed.
I'm also having this problem. Running latest version of Acrobat on a late 2015 iMac with 32GB RAM. This problem has been around for years and has not been fixed. Come on adobe, this is very expensive software, and by paying for it, we expect you at least deliver us with software that is actually usable.
It is absolutely INFURIATING that MacBooks cannot handle Adobe and adobe doesn't care to help. Truly this is a MACBOOK issue. This program works FLAWLESSLY on PC's. I use both in my day to day, and I DREAD adobe on the macbook. Mac wants us to use preview... But there are many wonderful things adobe can do that preview cannot. I really hope that mac will play nice with adobe and come together.
I feel like I'm back in the 90's working on a Macintosh Performa or something. Exceedingly slow performance with Acrobat Pro. Continual crashing, refreshes every time I move my mouse, etc. even in reader mode. Acrobat Pro never used to be this awful. I have a 2019 MacBook Pro with 32 GB Ram, OS Monterey v12.3.1
The new Acrobat has been bloatware for some time now. I used the previous version up until I upgraded to OS Catalina... now the old version no longer works, so I'll have to twiddle my thumbs while waiting for Acrobat to do the simplest things.
