1 suggestionGood news! PDFsam Basic now has native Apple Silicon support. The developer has released version 6.0.0 with a native ARM64 build, which is significantly newer than the Intel-only version 5.0.0 you currently have. You can download the latest native version directly from the official website or install it via Homebrew. The update will provide better performance and efficiency on Apple Silicon Macs while maintaining all the same PDF manipulation features you're used to.
