What Should do Before Upgrading to macOS Big Sur?

I just tried to install the 10.13.6 incremental update with same result. For every update I have tried the following: - Restarting in Safe Mode to install. Reseting the NVRAM and the SMC. Reinstalling Mac OS High Sierra from recovery partition and internet recovery. Downloading combo update to the MacBook. Keep track of latest updates of all Adobe Products. Other downloads. Acrobat DC Macintosh Windows Acrobat 3D Windows Acrobat Business Tools.

Although the every new macOS upgrade comes with certain exciting features, you need to know if your Mac computer can safely be updated (take Big Sur as an example). If you pay no attention to the details, macOS Big Sur update problems come with you for sure, probably your Mac update stuck or Mac failed update won't boot. Here are some of the things that you should look for before you upgrade to the new update.

1.Check compatibility. Big Sur requires any of the following Mac models: iMac; MacBook Pro; MacBook Air; MacBook; Mac Pro; Mac Mini.
2.Check minimum software and hardware requirements. You should have OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 or later. It requires at least 35.5GB of storage space to perform the Big Sur upgrade from macOS Sierra or later, 44.5GB from an earlier release.
3.Backup your Mac. To avoid any possible macOS Big Sur update problems, making a backup of your Mac comes essential. You can backup Mac with Time Backup Machine, iCloud, iTunes, or any other third-party Mac backup tools like MacX MediaTrans.

  • Problems with updates In a number of cases, making updates to installed versions of Adobe Acrobat causes more problems than solutions. Acrobat may sometimes freeze or crash when an update is being installed or stop functioning all together after the update.
  • Does the issue occur if you open up PDFs in Acrobat/Reader or does it occur while viewing PDFs in Apple Preview (for which the link mentioned by Gandalf50 appears relevant). If issue is while viewing PDFs in Acrobat/Reader then cause may be different. A Sample PDF file along with Reader and Mac OS X exact version information would help.

Acrobat compatibility with the new macOS 10.13 High Sierra

Update

Both Acrobat 2017 and Acrobat DC are compatible with the new macOS High Sierra (10.13). Below are a few known issues. Adobe is trying to fix these issues in a future release.

When you upgrade to the latest version of macOS 10.13.4 or launch Acrobat DC or Acrobat Reader DC for the first time on the latest versions of macOS High Sierra, you may see a warning message that indicates Adobe software needs to be optimized for better performance.

This is due to some 32-bit components that Adobe is working to address in the future. Note that no action is required from you at this time and your applications will still run as normal.

For more information, see the following resources:
