San Francisco - Adobe Systems, a developer of multimedia design software, announced that its proposed $3.4 billion merger with fellow design software maker Macromedia has passed all regulatory hurdles, and will close on Dec. 3. European regulators recently approved the deal; the U.S. Justice Department had already granted its approval, following a request for additional information from the companies. The deal will unite the makers of the widely utilized Photoshop and Illustrator (Adobe), and Flash and DreamWeaver (Macromedia) applications.
