Adobe Reader on Apple Silicon?

[curtw]

I just got a notice that in MacOS 28, support for Rosetta (and apps compiled for Intel processors) will no longer function. Does anyone know if the Tools I have installed to help me with Adobe DRM will still work when I transition to an Apple Silicon-compiled version of Reader?

You need to install the ACSM Input plugin. That will allow you to download eBooks from ACSM files directly into calibre. If you have DeDRM properly configured, you'll also have the DRM removed. So the ACSM file will be used to download the eBook, the ACSM file will be deleted on a successful eBook download and DeDRM will remove any DRM all in one go.

I use this setup on Windows 11 and it works perfectly.

I get an error:

calibre, version 9.11.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>InvalidPlugin</b>:The plugin in '/Users/path/acsm-calibre-plugin-master.zip' is invalid. It does not contain a top-level __init__.py file

Which is true. I see that file in other plugins, but not this one. Any idea what's up?

Update: I zipped the "calibre_plugin" folder by itself, but got the same error. ut there *is* an __init__.py file file there.

• Run calibre
• Go to Preferences > Plugins > Get new plugins
• Under Install type select all
• In Filter by name, search for ACSM
• You will see a result of ACSM Input
• Install that
