Key capabilities
Streamline Adobe PDF file creation
A server-based solution, LiveCycle PDF Generator ES can be used to centrally deploy and manage the creation of Adobe PDF files across the enterprise. Employees can easily convert most documents created within your organization into the ubiquitous PDF format. If your organization uses PDF documents to share information or as part of an archiving solution, the flexible deployment options in LiveCycle PDF Generator ES will complement your existing core business systems and processes.
Manage Adobe PDF file creation and conversion on a central server
LiveCycle PDF Generator ES makes it easy to include centralized PDF file creation within established business applications and processes. With many deployment options — network watched folder, e-mail, web user interface, or Java APIs — you can customize how employees create PDF documents. LiveCycle PDF Generator ES creates PDF documents from virtually any file type. Plus, you help ensure that the PDF documents your employees generate are optimized for file size, resolution, and security to support your organization’s business processes, corporate guidelines, or government regulations.
Adapt PDF documents for new purposes
LiveCycle PDF Generator ES lets you assemble, disassemble, and manipulate PDF documents. It extends many of the PDF document assembly features of Adobe Acrobat® desktop products to the enterprise server, giving you an automated, high-volume solution for customized communications. Assemble content from diverse sources and file formats into a single PDF package that includes cohesive pagination, indexing, resizing, addition of headers and footers, insertion or deletion of pages, and creation of a table of contents — all according to your publishing requirements.
Share and store business-critical documents in a consistent format
Whether employees are communicating with customers, submitting regulatory filings, or sending final document proofs to print, LiveCycle PDF Generator ES helps your company improve business process efficiency by leveraging a single, standard document format. Your organization can simplify content management and streamline archiving processes by automatically converting documents into PDF/A, the ratified ISO standard for long-term archiving of digital records. With the ability to create searchable PDF documents, LiveCycle PDF Generator ES helps you more easily find and access information, as well as comply with government regulations. LiveCycle PDF Generator ES makes it easy to convert PDF documents to other file formats, such as TIFF, PNG, JPEG, and HTML, when those formats are used in corporate systems.
Protect documents by controlling who can access, print, or modify PDF files
LiveCycle PDF Generator ES lets you apply basic security settings — such as requiring passwords to open a document — to control how users interact with PDF documents. You can also restrict users’ ability to print, copy, modify, or extract content from a document. For advanced security, deploy Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES software in concert with LiveCycle PDF Generator ES. With it, organizations can apply persistent confidentiality, privacy, and policy protection to enable access control, revocation, revision control, and audit trails to electronic documents — online or offline, inside or outside the firewall — throughout the document lifecycle.
Build extended processes with additional solution components
LiveCycle PDF Generator ES integrates with other LiveCycle solution components to support enhanced work processes such as document reviews or approval processes involving customers, partners, or suppliers. Route assembled and secured PDF documents to stakeholders for review and resubmission using workflows created with Adobe LiveCycle Process Management ES software. Create and publish certified documents or generate document packages that are ready to be signed with Adobe LiveCycle Digital Signatures ES software.
Create searchable documents from image files
LiveCycle PDF Generator ES provides enterprise-class conversion technology that can consume flat image files and make them come alive as searchable PDF files. This is especially useful in converting from image file formats such as TIFF. The conversion process uses optical character recognition (OCR) to associate character shapes with the characters they represent. When the resulting searchable PDF file is opened in Adobe Reader® software, the document has the same appearance as the original. However, now you can select the characters (using the text tool), and you can search for characters.
