Adobe LiveCycle

Adobe LiveCycle was the leading platform for form and document-based workflows based on the PDF standard between 2002 and 2015.

 

Adobe PDFs were and still are the de facto standard for PDF documents and the Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite offers all conceivable "document services" around PDF:

 

Form creation with LiveCycle Designer, document protection (DRM), forms management, forms processes, output, digital signatures, correspondence creation. Due to the growing use of mobile devices, the LiveCycle platform had to be extended to include additional formats. As a result, Adobe LiveCycle was integrated and enhanced into Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) web content management system. Under the name AEM Forms, the platform now additionally offers HTML formats (Adaptive Forms) and a form portal, and also includes the complete range of services of all LiveCycle individual modules. Adobe LiveCycle is no longer actively distributed and existing LiveCycle customers are encouraged to migrate to the AEM Forms licensing model. Please feel free to contact us regarding a migration offer.
