enhance our solutions offerings through investments in new software as a service capabilities for our enterprise server
product family.
Enterprise and Developer Solutions Products
Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES—provides enterprise connectivity and data management capabilities for advanced
Flex RIAs. LiveCycle Data Services runs on J2EE application servers and provides messaging, high performance data
connectivity and advanced data management that integrate Flex based RIAs into enterprise infrastructure including Web
services, remote Java objects and real-time data and messaging systems.
Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES—a desktop software application which simplifies the creation and maintenance of
intelligent XML based forms for deployment as Adobe PDF forms, HTML applications and Flash based RIAs; provides an
intuitive, graphical design tool for creating XML templates that look exactly as the author intended, and previewing them
before deployment; it also simplifies adding intelligence to documents, such as business and routing logic, and binding form
fields to arbitrary XML schemes for seamless integration with enterprise applications.
Adobe LiveCycle Forms ES—offers a range of solutions for deploying intelligent forms that can be completed online or
offline, across diverse platforms and devices; identifies a user’ s environment to deliver the richest form-filling capabilities
supported and integrates with enterprise applications to pre-populate form fields, save captured data and initiate data-driven
workflows.
Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms ES—enables organizations to accurately capture user-supplied information from fill-
and-print paper forms by using dynamic 2D barcodes; barcodes are initially set up through creation of the form with Adobe’ s
Designer application; after the form is printed, signed and returned by users of the form, the barcode on the form is scanned
and decoded, and form data obtained from the barcode is routed to the appropriate enterprise application through Adobe’ s
LiveCycle server products.
Adobe LiveCycle Digital Signatures ES—a server-based software application that helps organizations automate the
processing of electronic documents by providing batch-based capabilities to digitally sign and certify Adobe PDF files,
validate digital signatures and encrypt/decrypt Adobe PDF documents; safeguards information when it leaves a company’ s
network and integrates with existing public key infrastructures.
Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES—a server-based software application that helps organizations manage
information access securely with dynamic, persistent document control; allows for access control and auditing of Adobe
PDF, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and CATIA CAD document usage inside or outside the firewall, online or offline and
across multiple document platforms; lets organizations know when a document has been viewed, printed or altered and
restricts access so that only intended recipients can open, use and forward a document; allows for previously granted
document permissions and access to be revoked; leverages Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader and other client plug-in
software to author and view protected documents.
Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES—a server-based software application which lets enterprises easily share
interactive Adobe PDF files with external parties—without requiring recipients of the documents to purchase Acrobat
software that normally would be necessary to interact with the Adobe PDF files they receive; it unlocks features on an
individual Adobe PDF document so that when such a file is opened in the free Adobe Reader, users have access to tools that
normally would not be available in Adobe Reader, such as reviewing and commenting functions, digital signatures to
electronically sign PDF documents and the ability to fill in, submit and save electronic documents locally.
Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator ES—offers server-based conversion of native PostScript, text, image formats, standard
office formats and technical drawing formats into Adobe PDF files; integrates with other LiveCycle products that apply
digital rights management, document assembly and process management to converted documents in an automated fashion;
generates Adobe PDF files that comply with the new PDF/A specification for long-term document archives.
Adobe LiveCycle Process Management ES —a server-based process management application that allows organizations
to design and model business processes, integrate processes to core business systems and deploy processes with intelligent
documents and RIAs. Process Management includes a comprehensive business activity monitoring capability to provide
