Adobe acquires GoLive

Adobe Systems Incorporated, a leading provider of publishing and imaging software, has announced an acquisition of GoLive Systems, Inc.’s assets including GoLive CyberStudio, a professional web design and publishing software, and the GoLive Web Publishing System. CyberStudio has been used to produce web sites for Music Boulevard, Cartoon Network, Warner Bros. Records and The Associated Press, among others. This acquisition marks a desire to combine Adobe’s existing publishing and web graphics software such as Photoshop and Illustrator with GoLive’s software technologies to create an integrated suite of professional web design and publishing tools. An eventual combination of CyberStudio, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe’s breakthrough page layout technologies lays the groundwork for a cross-media publishing system that will deliver documents for print and the web with ease.
