The product also includes detailed reporting for rights-protected information, dynamic watermarking, expiration,. LiveCycle ES4 document generation products LiveCycle PDF Generator ES4 LiveCycle PDF Generator is server-based software that automates the creation, assembly, and manipulation of PDF documents.
It converts documents authored in native source applications such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint and many others into PDF documents. It supports the creation of customized PDF document packages by assembling or disassembling existing PDF files or PDF pages and adding dynamic custom elements such as headers, footers, links,bookmarks, tables of contents, and watermarks. In addition, it can convert PDF to, image, or formats for direct server-based printing or compliance with archiving requirements.
There is also (OCR) functionality with this product to create searchable PDF documents from scanned images. LiveCycle Output ES4 LiveCycle Output automates the generation of template-driven, final-form documents. It merges XML data with LiveCycle Designer templates to generate personalized documents in, or Zebra label formats. It includes capabilities to assemble or disassemble existing PDF files or PDF pages and supports adding dynamic custom elements such as headers, footers, links, bookmarks, tables of contents, and watermarks to create customized PDF document packages. It also converts PDF to PostScript,image, or PDF/A formats for direct server-based printing or compliance with archiving requirements. LiveCycle Correspondence Management ES4 LiveCycle Correspondence Management centralizes the creation, management and delivery of customized correspondence. Personalized communications such as statements, letters, or notices can be created with a mix of custom-authored and pre-approved content and delivered through the customer's channel of choice.

LiveCycle ES4 ECM connectors LiveCycle ES4 Connectors for ECM integrates other ECMs ( systems) with LiveCycle for design time asset management and runtime process management. At design time, users can manage assets for the application including forms, fragments, images, and other content assets in the ECM system. Developers can then access those assets directly within LiveCycle Workbench ES4 for the creation of forms, documents, and packages.
The connectors also enable business processes to retrieve content objects, as well as their content attributes or metadata directly from the ECM system. Specific ECM systems supported by these connectors include IBM Content Manager, IBM/ content repository, and EMC/'s document repository. LiveCycle also provides native support for connecting to (AEM), its (WCM) system. LiveCycle ES4 tooling products LiveCycle Workbench ES4 The primary development tool to create LiveCycle applications is LiveCycle Workbench. This is an -based development environment which allows developers to create form templates and process designs that can be integrated with a variety of data sources and existing applications.
It includes an integrated repository for collaborative development, and simplifies deployment via an archive file which contains all of the assets associated to the application. The process design environment enables drag and drop of process services to create process workflows and also provides the ability for developers to save them as single WSDL-based components for others developers to use. LiveCycle Designer ES4 Form authors and developers use LiveCycle Designer to build templates that merge with enterprise data to deliver interactive forms or personalized documents in a wide variety of electronic or print formats. LiveCycle Designer ES4 is included in every LiveCycle ES4 installation and embedded within LiveCycle Workbench ES4. Integrates with the LiveCycle ES4 environment. Using Flex Builder developers can create and create custom additions to forms created in LiveCycle Designer.
Implications for Document Management Systems PDF documents restricted with LiveCycle DRM are sometimes impossible to use in non-Adobe because LiveCycle can prevent third-party software from disassembling the PDF, extracting pages, and displaying the contents. In these cases, if LiveCycle does not also prevent printing, users may resort to printing PDF documents from compatible Adobe software and scanning the printouts into unrestricted, rasterized PDF's that are usable in third-party software. For example, a university admissions department may be unable to load an received from the, which allows client schools to restrict e-transcripts with Adobe LiveCycle, into admissions software.
