Advanced Integration with InDesign Server
Speaker: Seoras Ashby

Content : In this session we’ll cover two separate integrations with InDesign Server. The first examines the Distributed Copy Editor (DCE) reference implementation, and the second talks about how you might approach a LiveCycle and InDesign Server integration.
The Distributed Copy Editor is a reference implementation of a lightweight copy editing application that can integrate with traditional InDesign / InCopy publishing workflows using standard web-based protocols. We'll look under the hood of the server-side web application which controls InDesign Server and the client-side Flex / AIR applications. The second part of this session looks at how InDesign Server can be integrated with the LiveCycle family of products, including LiveCycle Content Services ES, Digital Signatures ES, Forms ES, Output ES, Process Management ES, and Reader Extensions ES.
