If you capture in DNG you shouldn't need to use the Adobe converter.
Is that written somewhere? ;+>
Tell that to my P S CS2. How could Adobe have known about a Ricoh K3 back when
they released CS2. Conversely - should Ricoh have known about a DNG from the K3
not being able to be converted by CS2?
as i understand it, DNG standardizes the description of camera's raw output —
both the raw Bayer array data and the information needed to interpret it, and
possibly also things like lens correction info — so that a tool fully
supporting DNG should be able to render (demosaic) the data into a regular
pixel array (an image where every pixel is in full color)
however, there continue to be newer versions of the DNG specification, so old
software may not be able to properly handle a DNG made by a newer camera; in
that sense, new software should be backward compatible - your DNGs should
continue to work in the future, which meets the archival goal of the spec — but
old software might not be forward compatible, that is not a goal of the spec
