I have several Apple iMacs that had Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium installed. I had recently updated the macOS to macOS Catalina. I am trying to uninstall the Adobe CS4 software but the article "Uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 4 and point products (Mac OS X)" does not help. I try to run the uninstaller linked under "Applications" with no success. I tried to run the installer with no success. The macOS error message prompted me to visit the article "32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later - Apple Support" to understand the error. Does Adobe have a solution to remove the legacy software from the current macOS platform?

Taking all of the suggestions made into consideration, I have come to the conclusion that (at this time) the only option available is to perform a complete system reset of the macOS operating system.

I have just attempted the method mentioned in the article "Adobe - Adobe CS4 Clean Script" and I was unsuccessful. An interesting point to note is that I was able to access the article "http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html" by visiting Archive.org and download the resources mentioned in the original article from there. For reference, here is the archived article "https://web.archive.org/web/20120422082422/http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html".
