Adobe applications generally do not support Apple's Accessibility API very
well at this time, apparently because they use custom UI widget code and
haven't done the minor additional programming required to make their widgets
Accessible. Other major developers with the same issues are Microsoft and
Macromedia, to name two.

Since GUI Scripting and PreFab UI Browser are built on the Accessibility
API, neither works well with products from these developers.
