Caution:
With the Big Sur 11.0.1 update, the drivers of a few printers have become incompatible. As a result, printers may stop working, and printing from any application may cause an unexpected error.
We recommend users to download and install the latest printer driver from the printer manufacturer’s websites to resolve this problem.

Acrobat Reader, Acrobat, Acrobat 2020, and Acrobat 2017 are compatible with macOS Big Sur (version 11).
When does Adobe plan to natively support Apple Silicon devices?
With the September 2021 release, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader (version 21.00x.xxxxx) now supports Apple devices with Apple Silicon M1 processors. You can now choose to run Acrobat in either native Apple Silicon mode or the Rosetta emulation mode. For more information, see Apple Silicon M1 processor support | Acrobat and Acrobat Reader.
When can I upgrade to Big Sur?
Acrobat and Acrobat Reader have minor feature differences when running under the native mode and the Rosetta emulation mode on Apple devices with M1 processors. You may want to remain on your current macOS version or test in a non-production partition to ensure all your software and hardware is compatible.
