Adobe Delivers New Document Generation Solutions

Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) announced new document generation solutions in Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite (ES) software. LiveCycle ES enables organizations to adopt a common design environment for document production and distribution that spans interactive, on-demand, and batch generation requirements. The new document generation solutions, Adobe LiveCycle Production Print ES and LiveCycle Output ES, merge enterprise data with LiveCycle Designer ES templates to deliver personalized documents. LiveCycle Production Print ES addresses high-volume and production output requirements, while LiveCycle Output ES is best suited for on-demand or medium-volume applications. With these new capabilities, LiveCycle ES integrates document generation with electronic forms, process management, and document security to build business processes that extend from the initial request to the final archived document. LiveCycle Production Print ES, the result of a collaboration between Adobe and StreamServe, integrates LiveCycle Designer software with an updated version of StreamServe's Persuasion software to streamline the production of documents such as bank statements and stock price notifications. LiveCycle Production Print ES is available in limited release, with general availability expected in Fall 2007. Adobe LiveCycle Output ES is expected to be available in July 2007. Adobe’s existing document generation product line, the Adobe Central Output Server family, will continue to be available. Central Output software customers who wish to take advantage of the LiveCycle environment will be eligible to trade up to LiveCycle Output ES. http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle
