A year ago one of the truly breaking news announcements during the Acrobat & PDF Central Conference was the merger of Appligent and Document solutions, announced by Duff Johnson, CEO of the new Appligent Document Solutions (ADS).
They're back in the news at the 2009 event with another announcement: ADS is now licensing Adobe Systems' PDF Library "to set new standards for third-party PDF software."
"With Adobe's PDF Library, we'll establish a new benchmark for reliability in third-party, PDF-manipulation applications," says Johnson. "There's just no better PDF than Adobe PDF. Implementers will benefit with definitive reliability, quality and the power of true Adobe PDF technology in our enterprise-class applications."
The company explains why it made the switch: "At the end of the day, we elected to leverage the thousands of man-years of effort that Adobe Systems has invested in their PDF Library since Adobe Acrobat 1.0."
Appligent Document Solutions is one of the exhibitors at this week's Acrobat-centric event in Minneapolis. Duff Johnson is one of the expert speakers.
