.. Adobe InDesign some of the time, but just InDesign at other times. We don't want to bold the company name every time it's used, only when it's combined with the product name.

You started out good, but made it a bit more complicated than necessary with the lookbehinds (as in: you are first checking if there is a “Company” before, then if there is not!).

This works just fine:

((Adobe )?(InDesign|Illustrator|Photoshop))|((Quark )?(XPress|Promote))

but it might be better to use separate GREP styles for each firm. Less hard work for poor Indy! Easier to maintain, as well. Like this:

(Adobe )?(InDesign|Illustrator|Photoshop)

(Quark )?(XPress|Promote)
