Acrobat Pro 26.002.21901 fails to launch on macOS Ventura — libthorvg.dylib
Following the September 8, 2026 Acrobat update, Acrobat Pro stopped launching on macOS Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68).
The application silently terminates immediately after launch, without displaying an error dialog or generating a conventional crash report.
Using Terminal and macOS unified logging, I identified a dynamic-library loading failure involving libthorvg.dylib. The log indicates that this library was built for macOS 15.0, which is newer than the running operating system, followed by a missing C++ symbol error.
I have already attempted a normal uninstall, Adobe Cleaner Tool, restart, and fresh installation. None resolved the problem.
Since Adobe lists macOS 13 as supported, this appears to be a binary compatibility or packaging regression introduced by the update.
Please escalate this issue to Acrobat engineering and confirm whether it has been addressed in a subsequent build, including 26.002.22031.
