Adobe has improved its server software used for handling
the flow of business forms in the PDF format.
Version 7 of Adobe LifeCycle Document Services includes enhanced
processing and offers more application design tools to
customers.
The LifeCycle Document Services suite costs from £38,000 per
server and can be used to easily share documents internally and
between different companies.
Document management and distribution is an area in which both
IBM and Microsoft are looking to expand.
IBM recently acquired electronic business forms company
PureEdge, and Microsoft is developing “Metro”, a document system
set to rival Adobe’s Acrobat solution.
