PDFAnnot
PDFAnnot is a PDF annotation and markup tool for macOS that allows users to add comments, highlights, drawings, and other annotations directly to PDF documents. The app enables editing of PDF text and form fields, making it useful for reviewers, students, professionals and anyone who needs to mark up or comment on PDF files without converting to other formats.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find detailed current information about PDFAnnot's native Apple Silicon status or active development state. Based on the bundle ID (com.RootRiseTechnologies.PDFAnnot), this appears to be a third-party PDF tool from RootRise Technologies. Given that we are now in May 2026, with Apple's removal of Rosetta 2 scheduled for September 2028, you have approximately 28 months before Intel-only apps will stop launching on macOS. We recommend contacting RootRise Technologies directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. If you currently rely on PDFAnnot and a native version is not forthcoming, begin evaluating native alternatives such as Preview (macOS built-in), PDFExpert, Soulver's PDF tools, or other PDF annotation apps that explicitly list Apple Silicon support — this will give you time to migrate your workflow before the Rosetta 2 deadline.
