Has anyone been able to install PDFelement without Rosetta? according to their support, Rosetta is not required. When I try to install it, it wants to install Rosetta

FWIW, I don't know what you were told but I just downloaded PDFelement to test and it's an Intel only app and therefor requires Rosetta.

The First time the User Launches a Qualifying Application that requires Rosetta 2 to intervene to understand the Binaries in the Application, the Operating System will notify the User Rosetta 2 needs to be updated

Whether PDFElements requires the intervention of Rosetta 2 to function has been covered earlier

If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac

Rosetta 2 is only available on Apple Computer with the Silicon M1 / M2 CPU. 

There are three categories / types of software that can run on the Operations System.

Only Intel Binary Code. This software will invoke Rosetta 2 to translate the Intel binaries so the operating system can understand and execute the Application. The Applications must be 64 Bit to function on Big Sur, Monterey and Ventura

Universal Binary Software.  It contains Both Intel and M1/ M2 ARMs binary code and refer to (  Universal 2 ) When the user installs a 64 bit Application that contains Both Intel and M1 / M2 ARMs binaries - depending on factors, the Operating System may or may not invoke Rosetta 2.

“ Apple Silicon “ Checking in System Information >> Applications  >> as of now, only see One Application classified as Apple Silicon and that is “ Rosetta 2 Updater “.

That would make perfect sense since. It is specifically designed to operate only on Apple Silicon M1 / M2 ARMs based computers
