I see Adobe Creative Cloud is being discounted by ~40% for Black Friday.

Does anyone know if it is compatible with new MBP and macOS Monterey?

Installation issues?
 
A friend provided me this information:

 
The article Wxchaser linked to is over a year old (though the link in that article will lead you to the correct list). Since then, Adobe has made most of their apps M1 native. All CC apps will run on MacOS Monterey (Intel or M1 processors)

These apps run natively on M1 macs:
  • Photoshop
  • Acrobat DC
  • Lightroom
  • Lightroom Classic
  • Premiere Pro
  • Illustrator
  • Adobe XD
  • InDesign
  • Character Animator
  • Adobe Audition
  • Dreamweaver
  • Premiere Rush
  • Adobe Media Encoder
  • InCopy
  • After Effects (Beta)


These apps are NOT M1 native:
  • Acrobat Pro (known issues)
  • After Effects
  • Animate
  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022
  • Adobe Premiere Elements 2022
  • Adobe Bridge (known issues)

Thanks @MacGizmo
 
Installed & working fine thus far on 2021 MBP - M1 Max

I'm not sure if it's currently set this way, but to get AS-native version of the app, you had to go into Acrobat Preferences -> General and click "Enable native OS mode for optimal performance."

It was and I made those changes you suggested - thanks!
