The latest versions of Acrobat DC (October 2019), Acrobat 2017 and Acrobat 2015 are compatible with MacOS 10.15 (Catalina).

Now Callas has published more details in the Blog post How quick is pdfToolbox’s QuickCheck functionality?
The article explains the principle of the relatively new QuickCheck function and explains which properties of a PDF file can be checked with QuickCheck and which cannot (at present).
