PRINT PUBLISHING
Print Publishing Market Opportunity
Graphic designers, production artists, technical writers, and prepress professionals use Adobe’s
solutions for professional page layout, illustration, business publishing, and printing visually rich informa-
tion. Our software tools are used to create much of the printed information people see and read every day,
including magazines, newspapers, catalogs, advertisements, brochures, product documentation, technical
manuals, books, memos, reports, and banners. Consequently, we have significant market share in the
technical publishing, illustration, typeface, and business publishing/layout markets.
We expect to maintain and grow our worldwide presence in the professional publishing markets in
which we compete and increase our market share in the professional page layout market through licensing
and adoption of our InDesign product, our new professional page layout product that shipped in the third
quarter of fiscal 1999. We will also work to integrate our products more seamlessly with each other,
providing print professionals a complete and creative working environment.
