Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq - ADBE) (c-eniconəˈdoʊbiː ) is an American computer software company founded in 1982 and headquartered in San Jose, California, United States. The company has historically focused upon the creation of multimedia and creativity software products, with a more-recent foray towards rich Internet application software development.

Adobe was founded in December 1982 by John Warnock and Charles Geschke, who established the company after leaving Xerox PARC in order to develop and sell the PostScript page description language. In 1985, Apple Computer licensed PostScript for use in its LaserWriter printers, which helped spark the desktop publishing revolution. The company name Adobe comes from Adobe Creek in Los Altos, California, which ran behind the house of one of the company's founders. Adobe acquired its former competitor, Macromedia, in December 2005, which added newer software products and platforms such as Coldfusion, Dreamweaver, Flash and Flex to its product portfolio.

As of 2010, Adobe Systems has 9,117 employees, about 40% of whom work in San Jose. Adobe also has major development operations in Orlando, Seattle, San Francisco, Orem, Minneapolis, Waltham, San Luis Obispo in United States; Ottawa, Canada; Hamburg, Germany; Noida, Bengaluru, India; Bucharest, Romania; Beijing, China.

Various luminaries such as Doug Englebart (inventor of the mouse) and Martin Cooper (inventor of the cell phone) helped tell the story of how communication has changed and transformed over the past two decades. The film supported Adobes CEO in his keynote address. The production follows the arc of human communication from the moment when we are able to discern shapes and sounds to the point of complex interactions as adults. The story leads to a hint of where we are heading in the future, and to Adobes commitment to facilitate personal and human communication and connection. Written and Produced by Robert Lundahl.
