The 13.1.2 FusionPro app and the Acrobat plug-in on Mac are still Intel executables, and require Rosetta to run on newer Silicon (M1 and M2) chip Macs.

There's no official roadmap date for this, but I would say that Yes, I would expect it to be sometime in the next 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
