Adobe Systems Incorporated (pronounced /əˈdoʊbiː/ ə-DOE-bee) (NASDAQ: ADBE) is an American computer software company headquartered in San Jose, California, USA. 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 Adobe ColdFusion, Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Flash and Adobe Flex to its product portfolio.

As of August 2009, Adobe Systems has 7,564 employees, about 40% of whom work in San Jose. Adobe also has major development operations in Orlando, FL; Seattle, WA; San Francisco, CA; Ottawa, Ontario; Minneapolis, MN; Newton, MA; San Luis Obispo, CA; Hamburg, Germany; Noida, India; Bangalore, India; Bucharest, Romania; Beijing, China.

Q. If i buy 100 worth of shares in Adobe Systems Inc how much will i get back this time next year?
Asked by I EAT UMPA LUPAS - Wed Aug 6 20:22:29 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Adobe Systems didn't pay dividends this year. They may not pay any next year. The only way to get money off stock that does not pay dividends is to sell it for more than you paid for it. Adobe Systems stock is cheaper now than last year at this time. But it is on a current rise. Unless you have some reason to believe the stock will gain in value, you may not gain anything on the stock by next year.
