Note 19. Industry Segment, Geographic Information and Significant Customers
Coinciding with the integration of Macromedia and the start of fiscal 2006, we changed the reporting of our segments to
be aligned with our market opportunities and how we manage our combined businesses. For comparability, prior fiscal
period’ s results have been reclassified to reflect the realignment of the segments. Our reported results do not include the
impact of our acquisition of Macromedia for periods prior to the acquisition date.
We have the following segments: Creative Solutions, Knowledge Worker and Enterprise Solutions, Mobile and Device
Solutions and Other which includes the Print and Classic Publishing and Platform segments. Our Creative Solutions segment
focuses on delivering a complete professional line of integrated tools for a full range of creative and developer tasks to an
extended set of customers. This segment combines most of the products of our prior Creative Professional and Digital
Imaging and Video business segments, along with the creative professional-focused products and solutions that we obtained
through our acquisition of Macromedia. The Knowledge Worker Solutions segment focuses on the needs of knowledge
worker customers, providing essential applications and services to help them share information and collaborate. This segment
contains revenue generated by Adobe Acrobat Connect and our Acrobat family of products. Our Enterprise and Developer
Solutions segment provides server-based enterprise interaction solutions that automate people-centric processes and contains
revenue generated by our LiveCycle line of products. The Mobile and Device Solutions segment provides solutions that
create compelling experiences through rich content, user interfaces and data services on mobile and non-PC devices such as
cellular phones, consumer devices and Internet connected hand-held devices. Finally, Other contains several of our products
and services which address market opportunities ranging from the diverse publishing needs of technical and business
publishing, to our legacy type and OEM printing businesses, to new strategic opportunities such as OEM revenue generated
from our desktop technology platform—which includes Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player applications.
We will adjust our reporting segments at the beginning of fiscal 2008 to reflect changes for how we manage our
business as we enter the new fiscal year.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant
accounting policies. With the exception of goodwill and intangible assets, we do not identify or allocate our assets by the
operating segments.
