Most current releases of Adobe apps are compatible with macOS Catalina 10.15.
Can I use my Adobe apps in macOS Catalina 10.15?
That means apps you rely on to get your job done may not work as you expect—or may not work at all. TMO put together a short list of some mission critical apps and their status in macOS High Sierra.
We've updated most current apps to 64-bit architecture. The following versions work in Catalina, but have these known issues.
Adobe app | Version(s) compatible with Catalina |
---|---|
Adobe Creative Cloud apps | 2020 2019 |
Acrobat Pro & Standard DC | 2019 (subscription or non-subscription) |
Adobe Acrobat Pro & Standard 2017 | 2017 |
Adobe Connect | 10 |
Adobe Digital Editions | 4.5 |
Adobe Photoshop Elements | 2020 |
Adobe Premiere Elements | 2020 |
Most older Adobe apps were created using 32-bit architecture and do not work in Catalina. We have no plans to update apps that we no longer support or develop. The following table lists some common 32-bit Adobe apps that are not compatible with Catalina. (It is not a comprehensive list of all older 32-bit Adobe apps.)
Adobe Product | Status and alternatives |
Creative Cloud apps – 2018 release and earlier | No updates planned. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest release of Creative Cloud apps. |
Captivate | Update scheduled end of 2019 |
Creative Suite apps | No updates planned. We recommend that you upgrade to Creative Cloud. |
Fuse | No updates planned. Find free characters on Mixamo. |
Presenter Video Express | No updates planned. We recommend moving to Adobe Captivate. |
SpeedGrade | No updates planned. Certain features have been integrated into Premiere Pro, which is 64-bit compliant. |
Uninstall 32-bit apps before upgrading to Catalina

Before you upgrade to Catalina, we recommend that you uninstall your 32-bit Adobe apps. Older uninstallers are also 32-bit apps and don't work in Catalina.
If you already upgraded to Catalina, you can use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to uninstall older versions of Creative Cloud apps.
If you've kept Acrobat DC or Creative Cloud apps up to date, they are already 64-bit compliant.
You can update your apps using the Creative Cloud desktop app. See how to update your apps to the latest versions.

As of a few moments ago, the link you offer to get El Capitan from App Store goes instead to iTunes Music.
Download Mac Os High Sierra
link: https://itunes.apple.com/app/os-x-el-capitan/id1147835434?mt=12
If there is a newer link to download El Cap, please replace this one. Although I downloaded El Capitan ten
days ago, haven't installed over Mavericks 10.9.5. Perhaps a partition or two is a way to go for upgrades.
>>Edit to update content...
The error at Apple Server appears to be corrected now, because the Link now goes
to the App Store as it should (iTunes app no longer launches) and so I see El Capitan.
Thank you for sharing this information -- among other helpful user tips. 😎
