Founded in December 1982 by Xerox PARC alumni John Warnock and Charles Geschke, Adobe began with PostScript, the page description language that powered Apple's LaserWriter and ignited desktop publishing. Headquartered in San Jose, the company joined NASDAQ in August 1986 under ticker ADBE and expanded through Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and Acrobat. Today Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Experience Cloud anchor the portfolio, with Firefly generative AI woven throughout. A $20B bid for Figma collapsed in 2023 over regulatory pushback. FY2025 revenue hit a record $23.8 billion, up 11% year over year.
