NativeMessagingHost
Universal version seen at v7.0 · Reported by 7 Macs in the community.
NativeMessagingHost is a support component that's part of Adobe Acrobat, handling communication between the Acrobat application and web browsers for PDF-related functionality. This background utility enables features like opening PDFs directly from browsers in Acrobat, browser integration for PDF viewing, and other cross-application communication tasks. It's automatically installed alongside Adobe Acrobat and runs behind the scenes to facilitate seamless PDF workflow between your browser and the main Acrobat application. Most users won't interact with this component directly, but it's essential for proper Acrobat browser integration.

1 suggestionGood news! A native Universal version of NativeMessagingHost (version 7.0) has been confirmed running on Apple Silicon Macs. This component is typically updated automatically when you update Adobe Acrobat to the latest version. To get the native version, update your Adobe Acrobat installation through the Adobe Creative Cloud app or by downloading the latest version from Adobe's website. Since this is a background component of Acrobat, updating the main application should automatically replace the Intel-only version with the native Universal binary.
