AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of PDFpen is available and confirmed running on real Macs. To upgrade from the Intel version, visit the official Smile website or check the Mac App Store (depending on how your copy was originally installed). If you downloaded PDFpen directly from Smile, go to pdfpen.com, download the latest installer, and run it—the installer will automatically serve the native build on Apple Silicon Macs and seamlessly replace your Intel copy. If you installed PDFpen through the Mac App Store's Setapp service (as indicated by your bundle ID), launch the Setapp app, find PDFpen in your library, and let it update to the current version; Setapp will ensure you receive the native build. After upgrading, your PDFs, preferences, and workflows carry over without any manual migration, and you'll see improved performance and longer battery life compared to running under Rosetta.
