How was Adobe Acrobat 9 made?

Question

Can anyone tell how Adobe Acrobat 9 was made? I like the look and feel of the GUI and I'm curious how it was made. Specifically, what programming language was used to make it?

Answer 1

I believe it was programmed in C++ using the Evil framework.

Answer 2

All of Adobe's major products are written in C++. Although they're mostly written using proprietary toolkits, Adobe has actually open-sourced some of their common low-level libraries. You can read more about them, and download them yourself, at Adobe's Software and Technology Lab (STLab). One of their libraries, Adam and Eve, I find especially interesting and generally useful.
