Adobe LiveCycle Output ES: How It Works

Step 1. Design Templates

Create an intelligent document template using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES software , which is included with Adobe LiveCycle Workbench ES software. Import existing PDF, Word, or other document templates. Or create new templates in a WYSIWYG environment.

Step 2. Manage Templates

Manage XML templates and template fragments through the central repository provided with Adobe LiveCycle ES Foundation, or leverage your existing ECM environment.

Step 3. Orchestrate Multistep Processes

With LiveCycle Workbench ES, you can visually build end-to-end processes including the document generation, assembly, encryption services, and delivery services in Adobe LiveCycle Output ES software. You can also extend your process to include other Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite solution components such as Adobe LiveCycle Forms ES, Adobe Digital Signatures ES, or Adobe Rights Management ES software.

Step 4. Generate and Assemble Documents

Merge XML templates with data from back-end systems to generate documents in PDF, PostScript, PCL, or Zebra label formats. New PDF documents can be combined with existing PDF files or pages to create customized document packages, including interactive PDF forms created with LiveCycle Forms ES.

Step 5. Protect Documents

Automatically encrypt electronic documents or apply document usage controls.

Step 6. Deliver

Generate customized documents in multiple formats for delivery across many channels, including print, fax, e-mail, and web. Customer, partners, and suppliers can engage with electronic documents easily using ubiquitous Adobe Reader® software.
