+16The PDF-reader seems to have disappeared from FME Form 2024 for Mac (silicon). It worked fine in the 2023 version. I took a look at the writer, and there is no dot under Read there either.
Has this reader been removed for some reason? Or is this a bugg?

Hi
In case this info might be useful, I believe none of these formats are available on ARM:
3DS, ACAD, DGNV8, DGNV8XFM, DWF, ECW, FBX, FILEGDB, GRIB, HYPER, JPEG2000, NITF, PDF Reader, PDF2D Reader, RDATA, REVITNATIVE, SAS, SAV, SDL, SENTINEL2AWS
Apologies for that. If you would like more information, please contact our support team (safe.com/support). They will know more about the exact limitation that prevents this format from being used, and might have some suggestions for a workaround.

+45+16Hmm, not sure what I have done to displease those pesky little Bytes that live inside the Machine. But I downloaded and reinstalled both the most recent version of Form 24.0 and the 24.1 Beta. Still no PDF-reader.

+16Hi
Thanks
In case anyone else has the same issue, I downloaded the Intel version, which runs fine on a silicon Mac, and voila, there was the pdf-reader in all its glory.

That’s quite a number of popular formats in that list and given that Intel Macs are no longer being produced (and I need to upgrade my hardware soon for support of the other software I use a lot) it’s putting me in a really awkward position.

+44Hi folks. The list of formats I gave earlier appears to be incorrect. One of our developers saw the mistakes in it and mentioned them to me.
These formats ARE universally available on Linux and Mac
These formats are NOT available on Silicon.
These formats are mixed:
The other formats I mentioned probably aren’t supported, but they don’t look as important to me, so we didn’t discuss those.
Because I got some of the original information from the documentation, we’ll make sure that it gets updated. And it is good to use Silicon over Intel, because the performance will be much better.
Hope this is better news for you

+49Thanks for the update
Still leaves me with the dilemma of which Mac to get. The new iMacs are a no-go (my current one has a 27” screen, the new ones only 24” so that’ll feel like a downgrade) so I’m leaning towards a Mac Studio or Macbook Pro

If it’s any help, I do have an M1 MacBook Pro and can say that it’s pretty amazing. So the latest M3 must be special indeed.
