Adobe Document Server

Adobe Document Server[1] supports the dynamic creation of Adobe Acrobat documents from XML data. By flowing XML data retrieved from the XML database into document templates, you can generate instance documents and automated forms on demand. These document instances and forms can be highly complex, including graphics and audio to produce bi-fi14 multimedia presentations. Because they draw their content directly from the XML database, users always get the most current information. In addition, documents can draw upon multiple sources to populate document instances: XML content, PeopleSoft, SAP, LMS and other server content can combine in a single document instance that the user receives.

Adobe has many products and services designed for XML-based solution environments. XML technology and Adobe software work together in a highly complementary fashion (See the figure below, representing the Adobe server solution implementation of XML). This is not an accident.
