Adobe’s Chizen Resigns to Take Break

SAN JOSE, CA—Bruce Chizen has stepped down as CEO of Adobe Systems, months after the embattled leader was sharply criticized for the company’s decision to implement a “Send to FedEx/Kinko’s” button in its Acrobat and Reader products.

President and COO Shantanu Narayen will replace Chizen, who led Adobe for seven years, on December 1.
