Good news: A native Universal Binary version of PDF Protector (v1.6) has been confirmed running on Apple Silicon Macs in the wild. You should update to this version, which is fully optimized for M-series chips and will run natively without Rosetta 2. This eliminates any compatibility concerns as Apple phases out Rosetta 2 support. Check the official developer's website or Mac App Store for the v1.6 update and install it at your earliest convenience to future-proof your setup.
