Activity Summary

Blocked in Syria. The team and community volunteers have asked Adobe to restore access since February 2026; its export compliance team has replied several times, most recently in October, only that it keeps the matter under evaluation, with no timeline.

Company Responded

Community Updates

Adobe's export compliance team sent both volunteers the same reply: Adobe continually evaluates how to serve customers worldwide in light of legal and regulatory considerations, and they should check Adobe.com for updates. No change for Syria was committed.
