No, Adobe’s first product wasn’t Adobe Experience Manager.
And it wasn’t Adobe Acrobat.
PostScript
Yeah, that.
“Adobe PostScript® was at the forefront of the Desktop Publishing Revolution. It was released in 1984 and was not only the first device-independent Page Description Language (PDL) but also a programming language. It was originally designed to print documents on laser printers but was soon adapted to produce high-resolution files for imagesetters used by commercial printers.”
From the days when “desktop” publishing was cutting edge…like “wired.”
But in truth, the idea that an average human could create 300 dpi papers that didn’t look like typewritten text truly democratized design…for better or worse.
Now some users of Adobe’s subsequent products bypass printers altogether. (And desktop computers. I’m writing this on a phone.)
