Adobe Acrobat is just not called “Adobe”

What is it with people who call “Adobe Acrobat” just “Adobe”?

i.e. “I used opened that pdf in Adobe.”

That [i”>is[/i”> strange. I call Adobe Acrobat, Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat. Adobe has more than just one application so to call it Adobe is odd. Give those people who call it Adobe a citation for incomplete use of a name.
