Rosetta2 will only install on an Apple Silicon Mac and will prompt you to allow its installation there on the first launch of a compatible Intel X86 application.


As macOS Catalina, Big Sur, and Monterey only support true 64-bit applications, if you upgraded to one of these operating systems from an earlier version of macOS, then your old incompatible Adobe applications are unsupported. You will need current versions of those Adobe paid or subscription applications (including Acrobat Pro DC v2021 or later).
