LETTER
(L to R) John E. Warnock, Chairman of the Board and Chief Technology Officer Charles M. Geschke, Chairman of the Board Bruce R. Chizen, President and Chief Executive Officer
BEYOND THE ENTERPRISE Built on the foundation of Adobe Portable
Document Format, Adobe ePaper Solutions continued to bridge the worlds
of digital and paper-based information in corporations, government
agencies, and other large organizations. And while revenue from Adobe
Acrobat set all-time records in 2000, Adobe ePaper Solutions are now
reaching far beyond the enterprise. In 2000, Adobe PDF became an
important format in the emerging eBook market. In March, Stephen King’s
Riding the Bullet became the first book from a major author to be published
only in Adobe PDF. And in September, Adobe acquired Glassbook, Inc.,
further solidifying our position as a leader in this young but extremely
promising space. As the eBook market continues to evolve, we plan to
offer solutions that allow the easy reading and printing of Adobe
PDF–based eBook content from any device. And as the Internet becomes
the preferred medium for exchanging information, Adobe ePaper
Solutions will continue to provide innovative tools for preserving
documents exactly as intended and exchanging them securely with
anyone, anywhere.
As we pioneer new markets and help define the future of publishing, we
must also remember our roots. PostScript, the page description language
