creators as in software applications which can be used to create PDFs? sure.

creators as in people who create PDFs? most of them use adobe products to
create them. most of those who don't, use products tailored to create PDFs
for viewing by acrobat reader.

that said, even if it is still more than half, this number is dwindling
steadily as other large organizations take on adobe's de facto standard.
apple and google have written PDF viewers that are not entirely lame.
