“Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: ADBE) today announced the
immediate availability of Adobe Acrobat Distiller Server software,
which provides users with a flexible, server-based mechanism for
creating Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The
application enables a centrally administered distiller application
within business and institutional intranets on the Linux, Sun
Solaris and Windows NT platforms. Based on the technology of
the Distiller function in Adobe Acrobat 4.0 software, Acrobat
Distiller Server software enables consistent and reliable
conversion of PostScript files to Adobe PDF in a client/server
network environment.”
“By enabling centralized management of Adobe PostScript to Adobe
PDF creation, Acrobat Distiller Server software can reduce IT
overhead. Each Acrobat Distiller Server software license provides
100 users with access to an automated conversion workflow. In the
Windows NT version, clients drop their Adobe PostScript files into
a watched folder on the server and the program queues those files
for output in Adobe PDF. The UNIX version offers a command
line-driven means of creating Adobe PDF files and is customizable
using scripts.”
