the 2005 second edition of Creative Suite including an updated version of Adobe Acrobat, Premiere Pro, GoLive, the file manager Adobe Bridge, and Adobe Dreamweaver
Adobe Creative Suite 2 did not include Dreamweaver. Adobe’s CS2 materials list GoLive, not Dreamweaver, and Adobe did not complete its Macromedia acquisition until December 3, 2005.
Full reasoning
This mixes up Creative Suite 2 with later Creative Suite releases. Adobe’s own CS2 datasheet lists the suite components as Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, GoLive CS2, Acrobat 7.0 Professional, Version Cue CS2, Adobe Bridge, and Adobe Stock Photos—not Dreamweaver. Adobe’s filings also show that the Macromedia acquisition, which brought Dreamweaver to Adobe, was completed on December 3, 2005. So Dreamweaver could not have been part of the original 2005 CS2 lineup described here.

- Adobe Systems Incorporated 2015 Proxy Statement
Company Date of Acquisition — Macromedia, Inc. — December 3, 2005.
Adobe's currently supported roster of software, online services and file formats comprises the following (as of October 2022):
This “currently supported roster” includes products that Adobe had already ended before October 2022, such as Flash and Prelude.
Full reasoning
The statement says the following list is Adobe’s "currently supported" product roster as of October 2022, but Adobe’s own support pages show that at least some listed products were already discontinued by then. Adobe says Flash support ended on December 31, 2020 and that Flash content was blocked beginning January 12, 2021. Adobe also says Prelude was discontinued and, effective September 8, 2021, was no longer available on Adobe.com. Because the list includes products Adobe had already ended before October 2022, the claim that it is a "currently supported roster" is inaccurate.

In July 2010, Adobe bought Day Software
Adobe announced the Day Software deal in 2010, but Adobe says it completed the acquisition on October 28, 2010, not in July.
Full reasoning
Adobe’s own filings say the Day Software acquisition was completed on October 28, 2010. Adobe also issued a completion announcement on October 29, 2010. That contradicts the statement that Adobe had already "bought Day Software" in July 2010.
