Adobe Is Innovating | Adobe Is Inspiring | Adobe Is Leading the Way | Facts | Financial Report Intro | To Our Stockholders | Adobe Is Innovating | Adobe Is Inspiring | Adobe Is Leading The Way | Facts | Financial Report EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK 2001 ANNUAL REPORT bc Home | Intro | To Our Stockholders | Adobe Is Innovating | Adobe Is Inspiring | Adobe Is Leading The Way | Facts | Financial Report At a New York City subway kiosk, commuters snap up newspapers and magazines published in a dizzying array of languages. In the conference room of a multinational enterprise, a sales director applies her digital signature to a contract delivered in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). From his home-based production studio, a motion graphics designer adds special effects to a corporate training film shot on digital video. And on their personal computer, grandparents view digital photos of a new addition to the family. Adobe Systems is in each of these places—and in countless others—helping people stay informed, streamline business processes, sell products, entertain audiences, and keep in touch. Spanning nearly every medium of human communication—print, ePaper®, dynamic media, wireless messaging, and the World Wide Web—Adobe Systems provides the innovative Network Publishing software solutions that help people create, manage, and deliver visually rich content. Whether it’s through the efficiency-enhancing capabilities of Adobe® Acrobat® software or the constantly evolving power of our groundbreaking graphics software, we inspire legions of customers worldwide to communicate in ways that are as creative, diverse, and visionary as they are. We’re leading the Network Publishing revolution. We’re in front of the technological curve. We’re behind our customers’ greatest inspirations. We’re everywhere you look.

Working closely with our partners, we delivered powerful software tools that help our customers publish Illustrator® Acrobat Messenger™ anything, anywhere, on any device. We listened closely to our customers to discover how Network Publishing is LiveMotion™ Acrobat Reader® unfolding in today’s changing communications environment. We introduced technologies that enable the Photoshop® Acrobat Reader for Palm OS® Photoshop Elements Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC delivery of highly personalized, visually rich content—and the industry took notice. Communications from both Premiere® OEM PostScript and Other our partners and competitors echoed our vision and are helping to establish Network Publishing as the model Cross-media Publishing Adobe PostScript® for the next wave of publishing. Just as important, Adobe ePaper Solutions made further strides into the Acrobat eBook Reader™ PostScript 3™ enterprise, and Adobe PDF has provided a foundation for streamlined corporate and government electronic Adobe Studio™ document workflows worldwide. Content Server Design Collection Even with these successes, Adobe Systems, like many technology leaders, experienced a difficult fiscal 2001. Our FrameMaker® diluted earnings per share decreased from $1.13 to $0.83 year over year, and our operating profit decreased by GoLive® 7% year over year. One of the greatest factors contributing to these results was the widespread decision by InCopy™ enterprises to defer capital investments, including software purchases. And creative professionals—our core InDesign® customers—were hit particularly hard as corporations spent less on marketing and advertising programs. As PageMaker® Adobe tracks these and other trends, we are working toward meeting our customers’ changing needs.

In April, we shipped Adobe Acrobat 5.0, which has garnered excellent reviews and impressive revenue. In fact, despite the difficult economic environment, revenue from Acrobat software grew more than 40% over fiscal 2000 and now represents 24% of Adobe’s total revenue. For large organizations implementing Web-based electronic forms solutions, we introduced Adobe Acrobat Approval software. And newly released versions of Acrobat Reader for Palm OS and Pocket PC devices allowed publishers to deliver Adobe PDF files to millions of handheld device users. Letter page 4 Home | Intro | To Our Stockholders | Adobe Is Innovating | Adobe Is Inspiring | Adobe Is Leading The Way | Facts | Financial Report Looking at the coming year, we are inspired by the opportunities that lie ahead. As publishers, advertising agencies, and creative professionals adopt Network Publishing workflows, Adobe will provide the tools they need to create, manage, and deliver visually rich communications. Surging sales of digital cameras and digital video recorders are opening a huge opportunity for Adobe’s market- leading imaging software. And the continued streamlining of corporate business processes means an even greater opportunity for Adobe ePaper Solutions, our fastest growing market segment. Leveraging these trends, our strong cash position, and continued operational excellence, we will ensure that Adobe continues to be everywhere our stockholders, partners, and customers look.

Letter page 2 Home | Intro | To Our Stockholders | Adobe Is Innovating | Adobe Is Inspiring | Adobe Is Leading The Way | Facts | Financial Report Despite the difficult economic environment of fiscal 2001, we showed that we can tightly manage our business. We minimized direct costs, resulting in gross margins of 93.4%, compared with 93.1% in fiscal 2000. Additionally, soon after the economy began to affect our business during the year, we swiftly exercised company-wide operational expense reductions, which enabled us to deliver respectable bottom-line results. Adobe continues to be a highly profitable company, and we are operating from a strong financial position. On a GAAP basis, our operating profit margin was 31% in fiscal 2001. On a pro forma basis, our operating profit margin (which excludes restructuring and other charges, acquired in-process research and development, and amortization of goodwill) was 33%. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $581.6 million as of November 30, 2001. And although we reduced our overall expenses during the year, we continued to increase research and development headcount. In fiscal 2001, Adobe spent nearly a quarter of a billion dollars on R&D. This investment will help position us for long-term growth and success. While some of Adobe’s competitors focused their efforts on developing either Web- or print-only publishing tools, we believed our customers would want to communicate both onscreen and on the printed page, and we developed our software solutions accordingly.

    Ratava’s Line: Emergent Learning and Design Using Collaborative Virtual Worlds Steve DiPaola Daria Dorosh Galen Brandt Simon Fraser University Fashion Institute of Technology Digital Space Commons [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Ratava's Line is an online, 3D virtual world fashion and interactive narrative project created collaboratively by students at both the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City and at Interactive Arts at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Vancouver, Canada, using emergent, collaborative 2D and 3D systems. This distance learning project, developed over two months and culminating in an online event in multiple, remote locations, integrated three key design elements: the translation of original 2D fashion designs from FIT students into 3D avatar space; exhibits of artwork of student and professional artists from New York City and Vancouver in virtual galleries; and creation of an interactive narrative "fashion cyber-mystery" for online users to participate in and solve in a culminating, cyber-physical event. The overall project goal was to explore how online collaboration systems and virtual environments can be used practically for distance learning, fashion and virtual worlds design, development of new marketing tools including virtual portfolios, and creation of cross cultural Figure 1.
