Adobe LiveCycle Forms ES—server-based software application that organizations can use to cost-effectively and
securely extend their core business processes beyond their enterprise system; enables customers to create and deploy XML-
based form templates as PDF, SWF, or HTML for use with Adobe Reader or Adobe Flash Player software, or with Web
browsers; provides for the capture of data from submitted forms and the transfer of the data directly into an organization’s
core business systems, thereby streamlining form-driven business processes and improving data accuracy.
Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES—server-based software application which lets enterprises easily share
interactive Adobe PDF documents with external parties without requiring recipients of the documents to purchase Acrobat
software that normally would be necessary to interact with the Adobe PDF documents they receive; unlocks features on an
individual Adobe PDF document by document basis 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, embedding file attachments, enabling database and Web service
capabilities, and the ability to fill in form data, submit and save electronic documents locally.
Information Assurance
Adobe LiveCycle Digital Signatures ES—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 documents,
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—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, Microsoft PowerPoint, PTC Pro/ENGINEER, Dassault CATIA and Lattice XVL
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.
Document Output
Adobe LiveCycle Output ES—server-based solution which supports on-demand document processes including the
generation of documents such as correspondence, confirmations, bids, or shipping labels; provides capabilities to merge
XML data from back-end systems with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES templates to generate documents in PDF, PDF/A,
PostScript, PCL, or Zebra label formats; customers can customize electronic document packages by combining newly
generated PDF documents with existing files from document repositories; customers can also convert PDF documents to
print or image file formats and then route them automatically to support direct server-based printing or archiving operations.
Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator ES—server-based software which automates the creation, assembly, distribution and
archival of PDF documents in combination with critical business processes; converts a wide range of native and standard file
formats, and can combine newly created PDF documents with existing files or pages to assemble customized PDF packages;
supports direct server-based PDF printing or can convert PDF documents to a wide variety of formats, including image
formats and PDF/A.
Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator 3D ES—server-based software which extends Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator ES
with support for the conversion and integration of complex 2D and 3D CAD design and engineering product data into a
single PDF document that can be shared using the Adobe Reader software without requiring a CAD application or viewer.
Adobe LiveCycle Production Print ES—server-based solution that performs high-volume jobs through efficient batch
processes, generating documents such as statements, invoices, contracts, or welcome kits; merges XML, ASCII or other data
types from back-end systems with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES templates to generate documents in a broad range of print
or electronic formats to support high volume production requirements; enables customers to print document packages by
collecting multiple jobs over time and then grouping them to minimize mailing costs.
