They do, but Fedora is very strict with their repositories and the contents (apps, drivers, plugins, etc.): Open Source only, whether 32 or 64-bit, with source available. Anything proprietary like Flash, or where source isn't available, must be in third party ones, and is unsupported by Fedora. In other words: "Use at Your Own Risk." Adobe has its own Fedora repository, many software developers do, but it's all 32-bit. As far as I know, Adobe has no 64-bit repository for sotware or plugins. Of course, I haven't checked in a couple of years.
