ADOBE Systems Inc and Internet provider Yahoo! have announced a relationship aimed at providing consumer services to Internet users.

The two companies will introduce integrated products that feature Adobe services, significantly increase the reach of Yahoo Search and expand the online utility of Adobe Reader.
