Adobe has launched a family of services built around its
Intelligent Document Platform.
Aimed at users who are building web services, the Intelligent
Document Platform aims to integrate "intelligent documents" into
enterprise applications such as ERP and customer relationship
management systems.
The new services include Adobe Form Manager, Form Server, Barcoded
Paper Forms Solution, Reader Extensions Server, Designer, Document
Security Server and Policy Server. They provide document
generation, collaboration, process management, security and control
capabilities.
Intelligent documents combine both the XML and PDF formats to allow
users to move data to and from back-end systems using the services
provided by Adobe. The services are delivered via Adobe's Livecycle
server software, which is built on Java 2 Enterprise Edition.
