"Adobe and Microsoft share millions of customers around the world and the CEOs of the two companies do meet from time to time," Adobe said in a statement. "However, we do not publicly comment on the timing or topics of their private meetings."
A Microsoft representative declined to comment on the report.
The newspaper report also hints at the possibility that Microsoft might buy Adobe, something the two companies reportedly have talked about in the past but apparently dropped due to fears a deal would not survive antitrust concerns.
