Technology History | Adobe — The Garage Above Adobe Creek, Los Altos
kevin
People treat Adobe as a San Jose tower on Park Avenue that arrived already named Photoshop and Acrobat.
The company was started here, in John Warnock's garage in Los Altos, in December 1982.
Warnock and Charles Geschke had built a page-description language at Xerox PARC. Xerox would not ship it. They left, named the firm after Adobe Creek behind the house, and wrote PostScript. Warnock's wife Marva drew the stylized A. Steve Jobs offered $5 million for the whole company that year and was refused. Apple licensed PostScript for the LaserWriter in 1985. That license, not a San Jose campus, made desktop publishing a business.
The creek is still there. The garage is a private house. It is not 345 Park Avenue. It is the first address the corporation ran from.
