Adobe Central Output Server was a product line that was developed by Adobe Systems to help enterprises create professional looking output documents, in both printed and PDF formats.
Product family[]
The Adobe Central Output Server family included the following:
- Adobe Central Pro Output Server
- Adobe Output Designer (formerly JetForm Design)
- Adobe Output Manager
- Adobe Web Output Pak
- Output Pak for mySAP.com
Product history[]
The software began as JetForm by Canadian developer Indigo Software,[1] which was established in 1982 and later became known as JetForm Corporation.[2] JetForm became Accelio on September 17, 2001,[3] and then was acquired by Adobe on April 15, 2002.[4] Some of the original staff regrouped in Australia as Indigo Pacific,[5] which developed electronic forms for sister product Adobe LiveCycle.[6]
Discontinuation[]
In February 2013, Adobe announced the end of life of the Adobe Central Output Server family of products, with Adobe LiveCycle Output ES4 as a recommended replacement. Support for these products ended on June 30, 2016.[7] Many of the features from Adobe Central Output Server and Adobe LiveCycle were later migrated to Adobe Experience Manager Forms.[8]
