Consisting primarily of the Acrobat family of products, Adobe's Business Software is essential to any organization that needs to generate and transmit secure documents. As the pioneer in Portable Document Format (PDF), Adobe has changed the way sensitive business information is communicated by creating an uneditable document that can be safely distributed without fear of alteration. Acrobat is the basic software for creating PDFs, while enhanced products such as Acrobat Capture work with scanners to convert hard copies into secure electronic documents. Additionally, Adobe Pagemaker allows businesses to design professional looking brochures, catalogs, and newsletters.
Adobe's software covers a wide array of graphics and multimedia applications. Photoshop is the market leader and industry standard for image manipulation both for print use as well as Web display. Other applications such as Illustrator, Acrobat, and PageMaker all provide tools to enhance, distort, duplicate, and publish electronic images. Adobe's AfterEffects and Premiere Pro are powerful tools for editing film, video, DVD, and Flash productions, while Audition software allows you to have similar control over audio files. Additional products in this category also facilitate the creation of Web pages and high quality visual documents. Whatever your graphics and multimedia needs, Adobe is sure to have the software solution for you.
Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe GoLive, and Adobe InCopy are the three product lines that make up this powerful category of Web tools. Framemaker empowers anyone with basic word processing skills to author XML, HTML, and SGML documents. GoLive and InCopy enable you to create sophisticated CSS-based pages with an intuitive, WYSIWYG interface. All of these products also offer experienced programmers the ability to use code directly. With these products, your Web design capabilities are limitless.
Recognizing the need for versatility, Adobe has created Mac-based versions of all of its products. From image manipulation in Photoshop or Illustrator to video editing in AfterEffects to Web development in GoLive and InCopy, Adobe offers Mac users all of the powerful multimedia and Web tools available to Windows users.
Adobe's utilities software is designed to give core PDF capabilities to the multi-user workgroup. Acrobat Capture enables the conversion of legacy paper documents to secure, electronic PDFs, with Acrobat Cluster Capture being the scalable equivalent for larger enterprises. Meanwhile, Acrobat Distiller Server software provides similar PDF creation capabilities over a network.
