Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, we have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures we normally include in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In management’s opinion, we have made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 28, 2014 on file with the SEC (our “Annual Report”). There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report. Assets Held-For-Sale Included in property and equipment, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance sheets as of May 29, 2015 are certain land, with a carrying value of $35.5 million , and an unoccupied building with a net carrying value of $0.8 million , located in San Jose, California and are classified as held-for-sale. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, management approved a plan to sell these property assets largely based upon a general lack of operational needs for the facility and land, and recent improvements in market conditions for commercial real estate in the area. We began to actively market the property assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and we expect to sell the property within one year . Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. However, in April 2015, the FASB proposed to defer the effective date by one year which we will evaluate if approved. Further, we have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. With the exception of the new standard discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six months ended May 29, 2015 , as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 28, 2014 , that are of significance or potential significance to us.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	ACQUISITIONS On January 27, 2015 , we completed our acquisition of privately held Fotolia, a leading marketplace for royalty-free photos, images, graphics and HD videos. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we began integrating Fotolia into our Digital Media reportable segment. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total preliminary purchase price was allocated to Fotolia's net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of January 27, 2015 . During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we recorded immaterial purchase accounting adjustments based on changes to management’s estimates and assumptions in regards to assumed intangible assets, liabilities and equity awards. The total adjusted preliminary purchase price for Fotolia was $807.5 million of which $747.9 million was allocated to goodwill that was non-deductible for tax purposes, $204.4 million to identifiable intangible assets and $144.8 million to net liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s best estimates and assumptions as of the reporting date and are considered preliminary pending finalization of valuation analyses pertaining to tax liabilities assumed including calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Proforma information has not been presented as the impact to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements was not material.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-term Investments [Abstract]
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS	CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Cash equivalents consist of instruments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. We classify all of our cash equivalents and short-term investments as “available-for-sale.” In general, these investments are free of trading restrictions. We carry these investments at fair value, based on quoted market prices or other readily available market information. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses are recognized when realized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. When we have determined that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value has occurred, the amount of the decline that is related to a credit loss is recognized in income. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consisted of the following as of May 29, 2015 (in thousands): Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Estimated Fair Value Current assets: Cash $ 189,336 $ — $ — $ 189,336 Cash equivalents: Corporate bonds and commercial paper 1,005 — — 1,005 Money market mutual funds 697,055 — — 697,055 Municipal securities 5,100 1 — 5,101 Time deposits 63,650 — — 63,650 Total cash equivalents 766,810 1 — 766,811 Total cash and cash equivalents 956,146 1 — 956,147 Short-term fixed income securities: Corporate bonds and commercial paper 1,535,460 5,673 (844 ) 1,540,289 Asset-backed securities 55,697 100 (5 ) 55,792 Municipal securities 154,726 207 (74 ) 154,859 U.S. agency securities 323,320 602 (14 ) 323,908 U.S. Treasury securities 381,754 514 (15 ) 382,253 Total short-term investments 2,450,957 7,096 (952 ) 2,457,101 Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments $ 3,407,103 $ 7,097 $ (952 ) $ 3,413,248 Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consisted of the following as of November 28, 2014 (in thousands): Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Estimated Fair Value Current assets: Cash $ 348,283 $ — $ — $ 348,283 Cash equivalents: Money market mutual funds 705,978 — — 705,978 Time deposits 63,139 — — 63,139 Total cash equivalents 769,117 — — 769,117 Total cash and cash equivalents 1,117,400 — — 1,117,400 Short-term fixed income securities: Corporate bonds and commercial paper 1,514,632 5,253 (509 ) 1,519,376 Foreign government securities 4,499 12 — 4,511 Municipal securities 174,775 438 (12 ) 175,201 U.S. agency securities 497,154 1,295 (64 ) 498,385 U.S. Treasury securities 423,075 1,080 (28 ) 424,127 Subtotal 2,614,135 8,078 (613 ) 2,621,600 Marketable equity securities 153 338 — 491 Total short-term investments 2,614,288 8,416 (613 ) 2,622,091 Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments $ 3,731,688 $ 8,416 $ (613 ) $ 3,739,491 See Note 4 for further information regarding the fair value of our financial instruments.

The following table summarizes the fair value and gross unrealized losses related to available-for-sale securities, aggregated by investment category, that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than twelve months, as of May 29, 2015 and November 28, 2014 (in thousands): 2015 2014 Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Corporate bonds and commercial paper $ 3,425 $ (23 ) $ 8,636 $ (66 ) U.S. Treasury and agency securities 651 (2 ) 5,884 (28 ) Total $ 4,076 $ (25 ) $ 14,520 $ (94 ) There were three securities and eight securities in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months at May 29, 2015 and at November 28, 2014 , respectively. The following table summarizes the cost and estimated fair value of short-term fixed income securities classified as short-term investments based on stated effective maturities as of May 29, 2015 (in thousands): Amortized Cost Estimated Fair Value Due within one year $ 608,233 $ 609,026 Due between one and two years 953,819 956,347 Due between two and three years 660,113 661,961 Due after three years 228,792 229,767 Total $ 2,450,957 $ 2,457,101 We review our debt and marketable equity securities classified as short-term investments on a regular basis to evaluate whether or not any security has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. We consider factors such as the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and our intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. If we believe that an other-than-temporary decline exists in one of these securities, we write down these investments to fair value. For debt securities, the portion of the write-down related to credit loss would be recorded to interest and other income, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Any portion not related to credit loss would be recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For equity securities, the write-down would be recorded to investment gains (losses), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the six months ended May 29, 2015 , we did not consider any of our investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities at May 29, 2015 was determined using the following inputs (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: Cash equivalents: Corporate bonds and commercial paper $ 1,005 $ — $ 1,005 $ — Money market mutual funds 697,055 697,055 — — Municipal securities 5,101 — 5,101 — Time deposits 63,650 63,650 — — Short-term investments: Corporate bonds and commercial paper 1,540,289 — 1,540,289 — Asset-backed securities 55,792 — 55,792 — Municipal securities 154,859 — 154,859 — U.S. agency securities 323,908 — 323,908 — U.S. Treasury securities 382,253 — 382,253 — Prepaid expenses and other current assets: Foreign currency derivatives 19,284 — 19,284 — Other assets: Deferred compensation plan assets 31,136 525 30,611 — Interest rate swap derivatives 17,697 — 17,697 — Total assets $ 3,292,029 $ 761,230 $ 2,530,799 $ — Liabilities: Accrued expenses: Foreign currency derivatives $ 1,355 $ — $ 1,355 $ — Total liabilities $ 1,355 $ — $ 1,355 $ — The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities at November 28, 2014 was determined using the following inputs (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market mutual funds $ 705,978 $ 705,978 $ — $ — Time deposits 63,139 63,139 — — Short-term investments: Corporate bonds and commercial paper 1,519,376 — 1,519,376 — Foreign government securities 4,511 — 4,511 — Marketable equity securities 491 491 — — Municipal securities 175,201 — 175,201 — U.S. agency securities 498,385 — 498,385 — U.S. Treasury securities 424,127 — 424,127 — Prepaid expenses and other current assets: Foreign currency derivatives 32,991 — 32,991 — Other assets: Deferred compensation plan assets 25,745 549 25,196 — Interest rate swap derivatives 14,268 — 14,268 — Total assets $ 3,464,212 $ 770,157 $ 2,694,055 $ — Liabilities: Accrued expenses: Foreign currency derivatives $ 663 $ — $ 663 $ — Total liabilities $ 663 $ — $ 663 $ — See Note 3 for further information regarding the fair value of our financial instruments. Our fixed income available-for-sale securities consist of high quality, investment grade securities from diverse issuers with a minimum credit rating of BBB and a weighted average credit rating of AA-. We value these securities based on pricing from pricing vendors who may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs) in determining fair value. However, we classify all of our fixed income available-for-sale securities as having Level 2 inputs. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of our financial instruments and derivatives having Level 2 inputs were derived from non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data, quoted market prices for similar instruments, or pricing models such as discounted cash flow techniques. Our procedures include controls to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded such as comparing prices obtained from multiple independent sources. Our deferred compensation plan assets consist of prime money market funds and mutual funds. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis We also have direct investments in privately held companies accounted for under the cost method, which are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment. If we determine that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, we write down the investment to its fair value. We estimate fair value of our cost method investments considering available information such as pricing in recent rounds of financing, current cash positions, earnings and cash flow forecasts, recent operational performance and any other readily available market data. For the three and six months ended May 29, 2015 and May 30, 2014 , we determined there were no other-than-temporary impairments on our cost method investments. As of May 29, 2015 , the carrying value of our lease receivables approximated fair value, based on Level 2 valuation inputs which include Treasury rates, London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rates and applicable credit spreads. See Note 12 for further details regarding our investment in lease receivable. The fair value of our senior notes was $2 billion as of May 29, 2015 , based on observable market prices in less active markets and categorized as Level 2. See Note 13 for further details regarding our debt.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	DERIVATIVES Hedge Accounting and Hedging Programs We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. We evaluate hedge effectiveness on our hedges that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedge prospectively as well as retrospectively, and record any ineffective portion of the hedging instruments in interest and other income (expense), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The time value of purchased contracts is recorded in interest and other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The bank counterparties to these contracts expose us to credit-related losses in the event of their nonperformance which are largely mitigated with collateral security agreements that provide for collateral to be received or posted when the net fair value of certain financial instruments fluctuates from contractually established thresholds. In addition, the Company enters into master netting arrangements which have the ability to further limit credit related losses with the same counterparty by permitting net settlement of transactions. Our hedging policy also establishes maximum limits for each counterparty to mitigate any concentration of risk. Balance Sheet Hedging—Hedges of Foreign Currency Assets and Liabilities We hedge our net recognized foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that the value of these assets and liabilities will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These contracts hedge assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies and are carried at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet with changes in the fair value recorded to interest and other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These contracts do not subject us to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged. Cash Flow Hedging—Hedges of Forecasted Foreign Currency Revenue and Interest Rate Risk In countries outside the U.S., we transact business in U.S. Dollars and in various other currencies. We may use foreign exchange option contracts or forward contracts to hedge certain cash flow exposures resulting from changes in these foreign currency exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts, carried at fair value, have maturities of up to twelve months. We enter into these foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated revenue in the normal course of business and accordingly, they are not speculative in nature. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. We record changes in the intrinsic value of these cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, until the forecasted transaction occurs. When the forecasted transaction occurs, we reclassify the related gain or loss on the cash flow hedge to revenue. In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, we reclassify the gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest and other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income at that time. If we do not elect hedge accounting, or the contract does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the changes in fair market value from period to period are recorded in interest and other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In December 2014, prior to issuing new long-term fixed rate debt, we entered into an interest rate lock agreement on a notional amount of $600 million to hedge against the variability of future interest payments due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. This instrument was designated as a cash flow hedge. Upon issuance of our $1 billion of 3.25% senior notes due February 1, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) in January 2015, we terminated the instrument and incurred a loss of $16.2 million . This loss is recorded in the stockholders’ equity section in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to interest expense over a ten-year term consistent with the impact of the hedged item. See Note 13 for further details regarding our debt. Fair Value Hedging - Hedges of Interest Rate Risk During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we entered into interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges related to our $900 million of 4.75% fixed interest rate senior notes due February 1, 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). In effect, the interest rate swaps convert the fixed interest rate on our 2020 Notes to a floating interest rate based on the LIBOR. Under the terms of the swaps, we will pay monthly interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus a fixed number of basis points on the $900 million notional amount through February 1, 2020. In exchange, we will receive 4.75% fixed rate interest from the swap counterparties. See Note 13 for further details regarding our debt. The interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges and substantially offset the changes in fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying debt that are attributable to the changes in market risk. Therefore, the gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are included in interest and other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is reflected as either an asset or liability in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 29, 2015 and November 28, 2014 were as follows (in thousands): 2015 2014 Fair Value Asset Derivatives Fair Value Liability Derivatives Fair Value Asset Derivatives Fair Value Liability Derivatives Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange option contracts (1) (3) $ 16,996 $ — $ 31,275 $ — Interest rate swap (2) 17,697 — 14,268 — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange forward contracts (1) 2,288 1,355 1,716 663 Total derivatives $ 36,981 $ 1,355 $ 47,259 $ 663 _________________________________________ (1) Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses for asset derivatives and liability derivatives, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES	RESTRUCTURING CHARGES Fiscal 2014 Restructuring Plan In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, in order to better align our global resources for Digital Media and Digital Marketing, we initiated a restructuring plan to vacate our Research and Development facility in China and our Sales and Marketing facility in Russia. This plan consisted of reductions of approximately 350 full-time positions and we recorded restructuring charges of approximately $19.6 million through the second quarter of fiscal 2015 related to ongoing termination benefits for the positions eliminated. The amount accrued for the fair value of future contractual obligations under these operating leases was insignificant. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015 we vacated both of these facilities and as of May 29, 2015 we consider the Fiscal 2014 Restructuring Plan to be substantially complete. Other Restructuring Plans During the past several years, we have implemented Other Restructuring Plans consisting of reductions in workforce and the consolidation of facilities to better align our resources around our business strategies. As of May 29, 2015 , we considered our Other Restructuring Plans to be substantially complete. We continue to make cash outlays to settle obligations under these plans, however the current impact to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is not significant. Summary of Restructuring Plans The following table sets forth a summary of restructuring activities related to all of our restructuring plans during the six months ended May 29, 2015 (in thousands): November 28, Costs Incurred Cash Payments Other Adjustments May 29, Fiscal 2014 Restructuring Plan: Termination benefits $ 14,461 $ 773 $ (16,202 ) $ 1,097 $ 129 Cost of closing redundant facilities 472 — (417 ) (27 ) 28 Other Restructuring Plans: Termination benefits 537 — (120 ) (305 ) 112 Cost of closing redundant facilities 6,844 — (651 ) (420 ) 5,773 Total restructuring plans $ 22,314 $ 773 $ (17,390 ) $ 345 $ 6,042 Accrued restructuring charges of $6.0 million as of May 29, 2015 includes $1.7 million recorded in accrued restructuring, current and $4.3 million related to long-term facilities obligations recorded in accrued restructuring, non-current on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect to pay accrued termination benefits through fiscal 2015 and facilities-related liabilities under contract through fiscal 2021 of which approximately 34% will be paid through fiscal 2016.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Retained Earnings The changes in retained earnings for the six months ended May 29, 2015 were as follows (in thousands): Balance as of November 28, 2014 $ 6,924,294 Net income 232,381 Re-issuance of treasury stock (277,231 ) Balance as of May 29, 2015 $ 6,879,444 We account for treasury stock under the cost method. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price higher than its cost, the difference is recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price lower than its cost, the difference is recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital to the extent that there are treasury stock gains to offset the losses. If there are no treasury stock gains in additional paid-in-capital, the losses upon re-issuance of treasury stock are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and activity, net of related taxes, as of May 29, 2015 were as follows (in thousands): November 28, Increase / Decrease Reclassification Adjustments May 29, Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities: Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities $ 8,237 $ 509 $ (1,684 ) $ 7,062 Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities (609 ) (450 ) 124 (935 ) Total net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities 7,628 59 (1,560 ) (1) 6,127 Net unrealized gains / losses on derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments 28,655 20,354 (45,580 ) (2) 3,429 Cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments (44,377 ) (94,652 ) — (139,029 ) Total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes $ (8,094 ) $ (74,239 ) $ (47,140 ) $ (129,473 ) _________________________________________ (1) Reclassification adjustments for gains / losses on available-for-sale securities are classified in interest and other income (expense), net. (2) Reclassification adjustments for loss on the interest rate lock agreement and gains / losses on other derivative instruments are classified in interest and other income (expense), net and revenue, respectively. The following table sets forth the taxes related to each component of other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended May 29, 2015 and May 30, 2014 (in thousands): Three Months Six Months 2015 2014 2015 2014 Available-for-sale securities: Unrealized gains / losses $ (49 ) $ (11 ) $ (156 ) $ (31 ) Reclassification adjustments — (2 ) — (3 ) Subtotal available-for-sale securities (49 ) (13 ) (156 ) (34 ) Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Unrealized gains / losses on derivative instruments * — — 6,147 — Reclassification adjustments * (157 ) — (210 ) — Subtotal derivatives designated as hedging instruments (157 ) — 5,937 — Foreign currency translation adjustments (336 ) (560 ) (2,431 ) (558 ) Total taxes, other comprehensive income (loss) $ (542 ) $ (573 ) $ 3,350 $ (592 ) _________________________________________ (*) Taxes related to derivative instruments other than the interest rate lock agreement were zero based on the tax jurisdiction where these derivative instruments were executed. Stock Repurchase Program To facilitate our stock repurchase program, designed to return value to our stockholders and minimize dilution from stock issuances, we may repurchase shares in the open market or enter into structured repurchase agreements with third parties. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program granting the company authority to repurchase up to $2 billion in common stock through the end of fiscal 2017. During the six months ended May 29, 2015 and May 30, 2014 , we entered into several structured stock repurchase agreements with large financial institutions, whereupon we provided them with prepayments totaling $400 million and $350 million , respectively. Of the $400 million prepayments during the six months ended May 29, 2015 , $200 million was under the new $2 billion stock repurchase program and the remaining $200 million was under the previous $2 billion authority. The prepayment of $350 million for the six months ended May 30, 2014 was under the previous $2 billion authority. We enter into these agreements in order to take advantage of repurchasing shares at a guaranteed discount to the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) of our common stock over a specified period of time. We only enter into such transactions when the discount that we receive is higher than the foregone return on our cash prepayments to the financial institutions. There were no explicit commissions or fees on these structured repurchases. Under the terms of the agreements, there is no requirement for the financial institutions to return any portion of the prepayment to us. The financial institutions agree to deliver shares to us at monthly intervals during the contract term. The parameters used to calculate the number of shares deliverable are: the total notional amount of the contract, the number of trading days in the contract, the number of trading days in the interval and the average VWAP of our stock during the interval less the agreed upon discount. During the six months ended May 29, 2015 , we repurchased approximately 5.0 million shares at an average price of $74.44 through structured repurchase agreements entered into during fiscal 2014 and the six months ended May 29, 2015 . During the six months ended May 30, 2014 , we repurchased approximately 7.1 million shares at an average price of $60.55 through structured repurchase agreements entered into during fiscal 2013 and the six months ended May 30, 2014 . For the six months ended May 29, 2015 , the prepayments were classified as treasury stock on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the payment date, though only shares physically delivered to us by May 29, 2015 were excluded from the computation of earnings per share. As of May 29, 2015 , $66.7 million of prepayment remained under this agreement. Subsequent to May 29, 2015 , as part of our $2 billion stock repurchase program, we entered into a structured stock repurchase agreement with a large financial institution whereupon we provided them with a prepayment of $100 million . This amount will be classified as treasury stock on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon completion of the $100 million stock repurchase agreement, $1.7 billion remains under our current authority.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease Commitments We occupy three office buildings in San Jose, California where our corporate headquarters are located. We reference these office buildings as the Almaden Tower and the East and West Towers. We own the land and the East and West Tower buildings, and lease the Almaden Tower building. The lease agreement for the Almaden Tower is effective through March 2017. We are the investors in the lease receivable related to the Almaden Tower lease in the amount of $80.4 million , which is recorded as investment in lease receivable on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of May 29, 2015 , the carrying value of the lease receivable related to the Almaden Tower approximated fair value. Under the agreement for the Almaden Tower, we have the option to purchase the building at any time during the lease term for $103.6 million . If we purchase the building, the investment in the lease receivables may be credited against the purchase price. The residual value guarantee under the Almaden Tower obligation is $89.4 million . The Almaden Tower lease is subject to standard covenants including certain financial ratios that are reported to the lessor quarterly. As of May 29, 2015 , we were in compliance with all of the covenants. In the case of a default, the lessor may demand we purchase the building for an amount equal to the lease balance, or require that we remarket or relinquish the building. If we choose to remarket or are required to do so upon relinquishing the building, we are bound to arrange the sale of the building to an unrelated party and will be required to pay the lessor any shortfall between the net remarketing proceeds and the lease balance, up to the residual value guarantee amount less our investment in lease receivable. The Almaden Tower lease qualifies for operating lease accounting treatment and, as such, the building and the related obligation are not included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Royalties We have royalty commitments associated with the shipment and licensing of certain products. Royalty expense is generally based on a dollar amount per unit sold or a percentage of the underlying revenue. Indemnifications In the normal course of business, we provide indemnifications of varying scope to customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of our products and from time to time, we are subject to claims by our customers under these indemnification provisions. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant and we are unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on our future results of operations. To the extent permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements whereby we indemnify our directors and officers for certain events or occurrences while the director or officer is or was serving at our request in such capacity. The indemnification period covers all pertinent events and occurrences during the director’s or officer’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited, however, we have director and officer insurance coverage that limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Legal Proceedings In connection with disputes relating to the validity or alleged infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, including patent rights, we have been, are currently and may in the future be subject to claims, negotiations or complex, protracted litigation. Intellectual property disputes and litigation may be very costly and can be disruptive to our business operations by diverting the attention and energies of management and key technical personnel. Although we have successfully defended or resolved past litigation and disputes, we may not prevail in any ongoing or future litigation and disputes. Third-party intellectual property disputes could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to enter into royalty and licensing arrangements on unfavorable terms, prevent us from licensing certain of our products or offering certain of our services, subject us to injunctions restricting our sale of products or services, cause severe disruptions to our operations or the markets in which we compete, or require us to satisfy indemnification commitments with our customers including contractual provisions under various license arrangements and service agreements. Between May 4, 2011 and July 14, 2011, five putative class action lawsuits were filed in Santa Clara Superior Court and Alameda Superior Court in California. On September 12, 2011, the cases were consolidated into In Re High-Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation (“HTEAL”) pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division. In the consolidated complaint, Plaintiffs alleged that Adobe, along with Apple, Google, Intel, Intuit, Lucasfilm and Pixar, agreed not to recruit each other's employees in violation of Federal and state antitrust laws. Plaintiffs claim the alleged agreements suppressed employee compensation and deprived employees of career opportunities. Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, monetary damages, treble damages, costs and attorneys fees. All defendants deny the allegations and that they engaged in any wrongdoing of any kind. On October 24, 2013, the court certified a class of all persons who worked in the technical, creative, and/or research and development fields on a salaried basis in the United States for one or more of the following: (a) Apple from March 2005 through December 2009; (b) Adobe from May 2005 through December 2009; (c) Google from March 2005 through December 2009; (d) Intel from March 2005 through December 2009; (e) Intuit from June 2007 through December 2009; (f) Lucasfilm from January 2005 through December 2009; or (g) Pixar from January 2005 through December 2009, excluding retail employees, corporate officers, members of the boards of directors, and senior executives of all defendants. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the parties reached another agreement to settle the litigation. In March 2015, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The hearing for final approval is set for July 2015. If the settlement is approved, we expect to incur no additional losses associated with this matter. In addition to intellectual property disputes, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims and investigations in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to commercial, employment and other matters. Some of these disputes and legal proceedings may include speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages. We consider all claims on a quarterly basis in accordance with GAAP and based on known facts assess whether potential losses are considered reasonably possible, probable and estimable. Based upon this assessment, we then evaluate disclosure requirements and whether to accrue for such claims in our financial statements. This determination is then reviewed and discussed with our Audit Committee and our independent registered public accounting firm. We make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Unless otherwise specifically disclosed in this note, we have determined that no provision for liability nor disclosure is required related to any claim against us because: (a) there is not a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized (if any) may be incurred with respect to such claim; (b) a reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be estimated; or (c) such estimate is immaterial. All legal costs associated with litigation are expensed as incurred. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against us. It is possible, nevertheless, that our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations could be negatively affected by an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such proceedings, claims or investigations. In connection with our anti-piracy efforts, conducted both internally and through organizations such as the Business Software Alliance, from time to time we undertake litigation against alleged copyright infringers. Such lawsuits may lead to counter-claims alleging improper use of litigation or violation of other laws. We believe we have valid defenses with respect to such counter-claims; however, it is possible that our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations could be affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these counter-claims.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
DEBT	DEBT Notes In February 2010, we issued $600 million of 3.25% senior notes due February 1, 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) and $900 million of 4.75% senior notes due February 1, 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). Our proceeds were $1.5 billion and were net of an issuance discount of $6.6 million . In addition, we incurred issuance costs of $10.7 million . Both the discount and issuance costs were or are being amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the 2015 and 2020 Notes using the effective interest method. The 2015 and 2020 Notes rank equally with our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The effective interest rate including the discount, issuance costs and interest rate agreement was 3.45% for the 2015 Notes and is 4.92% for the 2020 Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on February 1 and August 1, and commenced on August 1, 2010 . In February 2015, we made semi-annual interest payments on our 2015 and 2020 Notes totaling $31.1 million . The 2015 Notes were settled on February 1, 2015 , as discussed below. In June 2014, we entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional amount $900 million designated as a fair value hedge related to our 2020 Notes. The effect of such interest rate swaps is to effectively convert the fixed interest rate on our 2020 Notes to a floating interest rate based on the LIBOR plus a fixed number of basis points. Under the terms of the swap, we will pay monthly interest at the one-month LIBOR floating interest plus a spread of a fixed number of basis points on the $900 million notional amount. In exchange, we will receive 4.75% fixed rate interest from the swap counterparties. See Note 5 for further details regarding our interest rate swap derivatives. In December 2014, prior to issuing new long-term fixed rate debt, we entered into an interest rate lock agreement on a notional amount of $600 million to hedge against the variability of future interest payments due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. This instrument was designated as a cash flow hedge. See Note 5 for further details regarding our interest rate lock agreement. In January 2015, we issued $1 billion of 3.25% senior notes due February 1, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). Our proceeds were approximately $989.3 million which is net of an issuance discount of $10.7 million . In addition, we incurred issuance cost of $7.9 million . Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2025 Notes using the effective interest method. The 2025 Notes rank equally with our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The effective interest rate including the discount, issuance costs and interest rate agreement is 3.67% for the 2025 Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually, in arrears on February 1 and August 1, commencing on August 1, 2015 . A portion of the proceeds from this offering was used to repay $600 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest due February 1, 2015 . The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. As of May 29, 2015 , our outstanding notes payable consists of the 2020 Notes and 2025 Notes (the “Notes”) with a total carrying value of $1.9 billion . Based on quoted prices in inactive markets, the fair value of the Notes was $2 billion as of May 29, 2015 . The total fair value of $2 billion excludes the effect of fair value hedge of the 2020 Notes for which we entered into interest rate swaps as described above. We may redeem the Notes at any time, subject to a make-whole premium. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, we may be required to repurchase the Notes, at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The Notes also include covenants that limit our ability to grant liens on assets and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, subject to significant allowances. As of May 29, 2015 , we were in compliance with all of the covenants. Credit Agreement On March 2, 2012, we entered into a five-year $1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), providing for loans to us and certain of our subsidiaries. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, we may, subject to the agreement of the applicable lenders, request up to an additional $500 million in commitments, for a maximum aggregate commitment of $1.5 billion . Loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at either (i) LIBOR plus a margin, based on our debt ratings, ranging from 0.795% and 1.30% or (ii) the base rate, which is defined as the highest of (a) the agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or (c) LIBOR plus 1.00% plus a margin, based on our debt ratings, ranging from 0.00% to 0.30% . Commitment fees are payable quarterly at rates between 0.08% and 0.20% per year also based on our public debt ratings. Subject to certain conditions stated in the Credit Agreement, we and any of our subsidiaries designated as additional borrowers may borrow, prepay and re-borrow amounts under the revolving credit facility at any time during the term of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant, events of default and indemnification provisions in favor of the lenders. The negative covenants include restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, certain merger and acquisition transactions, dispositions and other matters, all subject to certain exceptions. The financial covenant, based on a quarterly financial test, requires us not to exceed a maximum leverage ratio. On March 1, 2013, we exercised an option under the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement by one year to March 2, 2018. The facility will terminate and all amounts owing thereunder will be due and payable on the maturity date unless (a) the commitments are terminated earlier upon the occurrence of certain events, including an event of default, or (b) the maturity date is further extended upon our request, subject to the agreement of the lenders. As of May 29, 2015 , there were no outstanding borrowings under this Credit Agreement and we were in compliance with all covenants.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENTS	SEGMENTS We report segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reportable segments. Our CEO, the chief operating decision maker, reviews revenue and gross margin information for each of our reportable segments, but does not review operating expenses on a segment by segment basis. In addition, with the exception of goodwill and intangible assets, we do not identify or allocate our assets by the reportable segments. We have the following reportable segments: • Digital Media— Our Digital Media segment provides tools and solutions that enable individuals, small and medium businesses and enterprises to create, publish, promote and monetize their digital content anywhere. Our customers include traditional content creators, web application developers and digital media professionals, as well as their management in marketing departments and agencies, companies and publishers. Our customers also include knowledge workers who create, collaborate and distribute documents. • Digital Marketing— Our Digital Marketing segment provides solutions and services for how digital advertising and marketing are created, managed, executed, measured and optimized. Our customers include digital marketers, advertisers, publishers, merchandisers, web analysts, chief marketing officers, chief information officers and chief revenue officers. • Print and Publishing— Our Print and Publishing segment addresses market opportunities ranging from the diverse authoring and publishing needs of technical and business publishing to our legacy type and OEM printing businesses.
