Adobe® Central Pro Output Server

Transforming business information into effective documents

Today's enterprises are discovering that documents can do much more than just communicate and inform. Compelling, high-quality documents—from printed 1-page invoices to Webdelivered 100-page user manuals—can actually drive business and generate revenue. Targeted marketing programs rely on brochures and other documentation created for highly specific audiences, and other customized documents can help build customer satisfaction and loyalty. The key to producing documents that drive business is a document-generation solution that takes content from multiple sources, dynamically generates documents, and then delivers documents over any device.

Leveraging the strengths of eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Adobe document-generation solutions work together with core enterprise applications to create effective documents that can be delivered in several formats, including Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), print, fax, e-mail, and the Web. Enterprises that choose Adobe solutions for document generation can get materials to market faster because they do not have to print and physically deliver them, thereby lowering their costs and improving their competitive advantage.

Adobe Central Pro Output Server

Adobe Central Pro Output Server software offers document-generation capabilities that can enable organizations to produce high-quality documents from core business systems. Central Pro Output Server processes XML data streams to create Intelligent Documents quickly and easily, regardless of the application software producing the data. With Central Pro Output Server, organizations can generate documents that maintain their professional image and better communicate with customers, partners, and suppliers. In many cases, invoices, purchase orders, contracts, and shipping documents are an organization's only touch point with customers, business partners, and other key audiences. Central Pro Output Server helps ensure that business documents clearly convey valuable information and reinforce an organization's image.

Dynamic, Personalized Document Generation

Central Pro Output Server helps improve service and increase customer retention by giving customers easy-to-understand, professional documents in their preferred format. The dynamic document feature in Central Pro Output Server allows application data to control the look-andfeel of each document. Central Pro Output Server can include personalized messages in documents, promoting successful upselling and cross-selling.

Efficient Document Output and Archiving

Central Pro Output Server and Adobe Output Manager work together to manage document generation and the printing process, saving organizations time and money.

It guarantees that documents are printed and provides tools to address print errors through job management and reprint capabilities.
