Work smarter
Information, people, and processes. Each is essential to business, but connecting them is getting more and more challenging.
Expectations are higher for how your enterprise interacts with its most important constituents. Employees need to collaborate with partners outside the security of the firewall. Customers expect personalized, faster service, whether it's over the phone, in person, or online. Regulatory agencies require accurate, timely reports.
Adobe Intelligent Documents streamline these business-critical communications by combining the best characteristics of paper, such as familiarity and ease of use, with powerful business logic in the areas of security, calculations, routing, error checking, and data validation.

By combining XML and Adobe® PDF, Adobe Intelligent Documents help enterprises:
· Extend the reach of core business applications — inside and outside the firewall: Important data from back-end systems easily travels beyond the enterprise to customers, partners, and suppliers.
· Preserve the fidelity of original documents: Adobe Intelligent Documents are more reliable and easier to use because they retain the fonts, images, graphics, and layout of any source file — regardless of the application and platform used to create them.
· Increase document control and security: Password-protect Adobe Intelligent Documents to prevent unauthorized viewing and altering, while enabling intuitive commenting and editing tools for authorized reviewers.
· Archive documents of record: Ideally suited for archiving purposes, Adobe Intelligent Documents can lock down content to create easily searchable, auditable documents of record — especially important for government agencies and highly regulated industries.

Adobe Document Service-Collaboration

Teamwork is the heart of any business. Whatever your industry or your job role, chances are you and your partners need to create, share, and collect information using documents.
Collaborative processes need to be flexible, automated, and efficient. Even if you are combining structured data from an ERP system with drawings from a CAD application, information must flow easily among people, documents, and systems, both inside and outside the organization.
With the combined power of Adobe® Acrobat® and Adobe LiveCycle™ software, your organization can simplify communications among team members, speed review cycles, and lower document management costs.





Adobe solutions for collaboration



Enable anyone in your organization to create Adobe Intelligent Documents from standard business and design applications and share them with team members. Data from core business systems and documents from employees' desktop applications can be merged into a review cycle. Information contained in back-end systems can flow to and from documents, within and beyond corporate firewalls, dramatically changing how people interact with information and each other.
With Adobe collaboration solutions, team members can participate whether they are online or offline, in both ad hoc and structured workflows.
Simplify the ad hoc process
In an ad hoc process, the initiator — for example, a loan officer, an architect, or a marketing professional — sends an Adobe® PDF document via e-mail to solicit feedback from a review team. Whether offline or online, reviewers use free Adobe Reader® software to add comments, suggest changes, and sign digitally. When finished, reviewers e-mail their comments back to the originator, who — with the click of a button — merges all the comments into a single Adobe PDF document. Each comment includes a name, date, and time stamp, making it easy for the document owner to keep track of all comments.

Improve structured processes
A structured process also involves routing an Adobe PDF file to reviewers. However, in a structured process, a web server or enterprise system routes the file according to established corporate or departmental business rules. Once reviewers have made their changes, they submit the document to the server, where all feedback is consolidated. The marked-up document then returns via the web server or enterprise application to the originator. With the combination of Adobe PDF and XML, document originators can use structured workflows to incorporate information from multiple databases, applications, and parties within and outside the organization into a single Adobe PDF document.

Key benefits of Adobe collaboration solutions
· Accelerate review cycles and protect document integrity. Easily capture, communicate, and track all document changes while protecting content integrity as documents move through the review process. The document's owner manages all change requests and maintains control of the document throughout the process.
· Protect sensitive business documents. Passwords and encryptions limit who can view, edit, comment on, certify, or print PDF documents. Using digital signatures, the document owner has even greater confidence in document content integrity.
· Find information quickly and easily with digital archives. Increase the accuracy and reliability of regulatory submissions by providing an organized, accessible audit trail. Reduce document storage and retrieval costs with digital records that are more easily searchable.
Whether your collaboration is ad hoc, structured, or a combination of both, Adobe streamlines complex, team-based interactions for more effective communications.

Document security that persists with the document — beyond delivery
Once important documents are delivered, even through protected networks, control is lost and information endangered. Adobe's innovative document security solutions control documents with persistence — control that stays throughout the life of the document. Your peace of mind comes with the ability to control:

· Encryption processes, for confidentiality
· Document access rights and permissions, for authorization
· Tracking of what has or hasn't been done with a document, for accountability

Adobe Document Services' leading-edge technology offers document monitoring that travels with the document from creation through distribution, revision, and archiving. Adobe provides document control that reaches inside and outside the firewall, online and offline, and across multiple documents

Protect documents from creation to delivery and beyond

Businesses run on sensitive information. Electronic communications make information security even more critical. For financial institutions e-mailing monthly statements, government agencies making tax forms available on citizen portals, contractors sending design documents to partners for review, or companies preparing financial reports, Adobe Document Services allow the assignment of security parameters to enhance each document in the following ways:
· Confidentiality — Control who has access to the document.
· Authorization — Control what someone can do with the document.
· Accountability — Track what someone does with the document.
· Integrity — Show whether a document has been altered.
· Authenticity — Verify the source of the document.

By combining sophisticated solutions for document control, digital signatures, and document certification with the capabilities of leading security partners, Adobe helps your organization maintain control over how, when, and by whom your documents are accessed. Trusted communications and smoother processes lead to reduced costs, improved employee productivity, and increased customer satisfaction — a winning value proposition for any enterprise.

Make your documents work harder and smarter. Transform any document into a compelling, personalized communication that improves customer satisfaction and reduces operating costs. Assemble content from multiple sources into a single, complete, customized document package that presents a consistent company image — across multiple communication channels. And manage print output throughout the enterprise to improve business efficiency and reduce costs.

Key benefits of Adobe document generation solutions

· Dynamically generate customized documents.
By merging enterprise data with document templates, organizations can generate customized documents for print, fax, or electronic delivery. Account managers and customer service representatives can create personalized loan agreements, insurance policies, and customer statements — and deliver these documents across multiple channels.

. Convert existing content into PDF documents.
Adobe document generation solutions let enterprises convert virtually any document from its native format into Adobe PDF. The IT department can deploy PDF file creation capabilities as part of a centralized, server-based solution or on employees' desktops to meet individual or departmental requirements. IT managers can also control document properties such as file size, resolution, and security options.

· Assemble multiple files into a single, personalized Adobe PDF document.
For further customization, employees can assemble multiple files — such as cover letters, contracts, and terms and conditions — into a cohesive Adobe PDF document package. They can personalize PDF packages for each recipient with a table of contents, headers, footers, and watermarks. Inserting or extracting metadata allows PDF packages to be integrated with content management systems.

· Safeguard documents with encryption and digital signatures.
By deploying document control and security solutions from Adobe in conjunction with document generation, employees can control how, when, and by whom documents are accessed. They also gain centralized control over the privacy, security, and authenticity of PDF documents.

· Deliver documents across multiple channels and streamline document archiving.
Organizations can easily control the output of PDF documents from a central location. The line-of-business manager can generate customized documents in multiple formats for delivery across print, fax, e-mail, and the web. Documents can also be automatically converted to PDF/A for archival.
