Running some applications on Mac version 10.12 Sierra, 10.10 Yosemite and 10.11 El Capitan, users are asked to install Java even after installing the latest version of Java. However, the easiest way is to select OpenJDK 11 (LTS), the HotSpot JVM, and macOS x64, which will expose two option like these: Clicking on “Install JDK installer”, will download the OpenJDK installer package, e.g. OpenJDK11U-jdkx64machotspot11.0.411.pkg, which when executed, will install into this location: /Library/Java.
This article explains how to install Java 6 32bit on Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite.
Java 6 32bit is required when using the 32bit installer for PDF Studio – a powerful, low cost Adobe® Acrobat® alternative for Mac OSX. Note that the 32bit installer is no longer the recommended installer. The new recommended installer for PDF Studio is 64bit and does no longer require Java 6.
Important: Ensure that you install Java SE 6 Runtime only by clicking Install in the pop-up window.If you install Java SE 6 or 7 Runtime through any other means (for example, by directly accessing Java.com), Dreamweaver could still display the prompt. To open 'this Java application' you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. I follow instructions in 'More info' and on the Internet to download Java from Apple, but Java cannot be installed because 'A newer version of this package is already installed', shown below: My MacOS is Catalina v.10.15.3. How can I escape this loop?

Q: I upgraded my mac to OSX 10.10 Yosemite & 10.11 El Capitan and I am having trouble opening PDF Studio. I receive the message: “To open “PDF Studio 9” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.” How can I fix this?
A: Like other applications such as Dreamweaver or Creative Suite, PDF Studio requires Java 6 in order to run. During the upgrade process to Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite or 10.11 El Capitan, Java may be uninstalled from your system. In order to reinstall and run PDF Studio you will need to install the Java 6 Runtime again. You may receive a dialog that will direct you to the site where you can download the Java 6 Runtime. Once installed you can proceed as normal with installing and using PDF Studio. You can follow the instructions below to complete the Java 6 installation.
