Adobe Inc., formerly Adobe Systems Incorporated, is an American multinational computer software company based in San Jose, California. It was founded in December 1982 by John Warnock and Charles Geschke, who left Xerox PARC to develop and sell the PostScript page description language; in 1985 Apple Computer licensed PostScript for its LaserWriter printers, which helped start the desktop publishing revolution. Its flagship products include Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Acrobat with the Portable Document Format, and its Creative Suite evolved into the subscription Creative Cloud. Adobe also acquired Macromedia, and with it Macromedia Flash.
