No. Adobe's "modern" apps (the CS stuff) use Adobe's own engines for
graphics, type, and color. PDFs are produced directly, bypassing OS
idiosyncrasies.
That and the fact that Adobe Bridge (another CS app) does a lot of
the work of Windows Explorer and Mac Finder, makes you wonder why
they don't just build their own OS using Flex. Adobe OS! Now there's
a thought ;-)
