Document Services
Extend the power of your core applications
Adobe Document Services are the underlying technologies that create and integrate Intelligent Documents with enterprise applications and business processes. Document Services unlock the power and extend the reach of native eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and Portable Document Format (PDF) to integrate documents into the IT environment — without sacrificing document integrity or open standards.
Adobe Document Services include two powerful components: Adobe® Acrobat® and the Adobe LiveCycle™ line of J2EE-based enterprise servers and design tools, which help organizations and governments manage business processes and enable more secure communications across the enterprise. Adobe LiveCycle delivers document services to integrate manual processes into enterprise applications. Now organizations can address business-critical issues such as improving customer communications, increasing internal operational efficiencies, and helping them meet compliance mandates. Learn more.
