Adobe Acrobat Distiller, also marketed as Adobe Distiller, is a software utility that is developed by Adobe Systems for converting documents from PostScript format to Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format), the native format of the Acrobat family of products.[1] It was first shipped as a distinct component of the Acrobat 1.0 family in 1993.[2] In 1999, Acrobat 4 added preset configuration files to Distiller. In 2001, Acrobat 5 added improved color management.[3] Distiller's features were also incorporated into the Adobe PDFMaker printer driver for creating PDF files that preserved the printed appearance of documents from other applications.[4]
A related Adobe product, Acrobat Distiller Server, was released on June 19, 2000 and provided the ability to perform high-volume conversion of PostScript to PDF formats through a centralized client-server architecture.[5] On May 31, 2013, Distiller Server was discontinued in favor of the PDF Generator component of Adobe LiveCycle.[6]
