Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 1, 1995 and November 25, 1994, and

did not audit the consolidated Financial statements of Aldus Corporation and
subsidiaries or Frame Technology Corporation and subsidiaries, companies
acquired by Adobe Systems Incorporated in business combinations accounted for as
poolings of interests. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose
reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for Aldus Corporation and Frame Technology Corporation, is
based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
