Sep 26, 2020 I don't understand why Adobe makes it so difficult to find CLEAR information on this. I just upgraded my Mac to OS Catalina and my existing version of Adobe Reader will not run. When I finally found a page on the Adobe site about new versions of Reader for Mac, it APPARENTLY has only to do with the Firefox, Safari and Chrome web browsers. Adobe will soon be releasing the free update for Adobe Captivate (2019 release) users that will support macOS Catalina 10.15. We recommend that you continue to run Adobe Captivate on macOS 10.14 until Adobe releases an update for the 2019 release of Captivate that supports macOS Catalina 10.15. Sep 26, 2019 So, on NO ACCOUNT upgrade to Catalina without checking for a statement from Adobe for all the apps important to you. It's impossible for Adobe to guararantee anything in advance because Apple can (and have) change the released system even more aftet the last beta. It's generally safer to wait also for the first dot release of the new system. Nov 23, 2020 Solution 1-2: APDs solution is to uninstall Adobe Reader DC, Restart computer, download, install, and use Adobe Reader XI (Select Operating System, Language, and Reader 11.x.x).
