The wording was confusing for me too. At first reading I understood it as saying CVEs were no longer being issued for Acrobat, which definitely isn't the case.

The wording was confusing for me too. At first reading I understood it as saying CVEs were no longer being issued for Acrobat, which definitely isn't the case. I assume the intended meaning was that Acrobat was first released in 1993[0], but the first CVE was CVE-1999-0001 (source: downloaded the raw dump from [1], ran grep -m1 CVE-....-0001).
But, I'm doubtful there would have been all that many CVEs issued for Acrobat from 1993-1998. There was only one CVE that mentioned "Acrobat" each year from 1999-2001, and three in 2002. The more recent years are the fun ones - but I have no idea whether that's a result of freshly-introduced exploitable bugs or just increased attention.
