Adobe founders Chuck Geschke and John Warnock shared a vision for publishing and graphic arts that would forever change how people create and engage with information. The two men met in the late 1970s while working at the renowned Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), where they researched device-independent graphic systems and printing. Excited by the potential of their work to reshape computing, Geschke and Warnock eventually realized that the only way to take their ideas from the lab to the burgeoning technology market would be to create their own company.
In 1982, they founded Adobe Systems Incorporated on a simple premise: how could text and images on a computer screen translate beautifully and accurately into print? A year later, they helped launch the desktop publishing revolution by introducing Adobe�® PostScript�® technology, providing a radical new approach to printing text and images on paper. For the first time, a computer file could be printed exactly as it appeared on screen, with all formatting, graphics and fonts intact. Adobe PostScript was licensed to printer manufacturers worldwide and delivered unprecedented cost savings and
productivity enhancements. It continues to be a core technology on printers today.
As demand for digital content skyrocketed, Adobe solutions provided a catalyst for moving ideas from concept through creation to delivery across any digital device. The appointment of Bruce Chizen as Adobeâ??s Chief Executive Officer in 2000 further strengthened the companyâ??s market leadership, as Adobe delivered on strategies to move from a desktop software company to a platform provider for enterprises. Withits acquisition of Macromedia, Inc. in 2005-developer of the ubiquitous Flash
