The Adobe XML architecture
The Adobe XML architecture is a common framework for all Adobe applications that enables developers to extend business processes within and beyond corporate firewalls. Through support for XML within Intelligent Documents, enterprises can generate interactive forms, capture new or modify existing user data directly in forms, and integrate form data into core business systems.
The Adobe XML architecture enables enterprises to extend their investments in J2EE, Service Oriented Architectures, and Web services to more easily deliver applications that use free Adobe® Reader® software.
