YAHOO AND ADOBE VENTURE

"Yahoo and Adobe Systems said that they had joined forces to tap each others' customers and put Web search features into Adobe's Acrobat Reader software.

The deal will let Adobe add online features to one of the software maker's core products, Acrobat. The program is used by more than 500 million people and is a common format for viewing documents over the Web and in e-mail attachments.

Adobe will first introduce a cobranded Yahoo browser toolbar that users can choose to install on their computers when prompted to download an update of Acrobat Reader. The toolbar will feature links to Yahoo products and services as well as Adobe's Web-based subscription service."
