Interesting. Never seen that.
Are you SURE about the connection to Adobe Acrobat, which I remember from release.
1: PDF
Quote:
The Portable Document Format (PDF) was created by Adobe Systems, introduced at the Windows and OS/2 Conference in January 1993 and remained a proprietary format until it was released as an open standard in 2008. Since then, it has been under the control of an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) committee of industry experts.
Development of PDF began in 1991 when Adobe's co-founder John Warnock wrote a paper for a project then code-named Camelot, in which he proposed the creation of a simplified version of Adobe's PostScript format called Interchange PostScript (IPS).

Corresponds with my memory.
2. Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Adobe Acrobat was launched in 1993 and had to compete with other products and proprietary formats that aimed to create digital documents

It was on DOS and Mac before it was on Windows 3.x and Windows NT 3.5

There was an Adobe ebook Reader. It's nothing to do with Adobe Acrobat or PDFs. Some people including Wikipedia misname it Acrobat eBook reader.
I have a working copy somewhere. It also doesn't seem to work with either epub2 or OEBPS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_eBook (which is sort of epub 1). It wasn't developed into Adobe Digital Edition Reader, but ADE replaced it.
Okular supports "Fiction Book" which might be what Adobe ebook Reader uses.
I'll look up what I have.

I was using MS products for PC from 1981 and selling them from 1992 till 2005. Never heard of it.
I also had a multimedia creation business from about 1992 to 1996.
