Illustrator appears on both legitimate first-generation output and downstream re-save flows — context (the other tool on the same document) is what flips the signal.

Corpus profile
Adobe Illustrator (alternate name string) — vector design tool used for branded materials and one-off print artwork.
Same profile as Adobe Illustrator: single-pass Adobe-stack render is the legitimate baseline; mismatched downstream Producer is the contextual signal.
Role in the workflow
Every PDF carries a Creator (the application that produced the original document) and a Producer (the engine that wrote the PDF). The same tool can appear in either slot, with very different modification profiles.

Long tail
Smaller cuts of the Illustrator corpus — useful context, but treat each row as a single data point rather than a strong signal.
