| Adobe® Content Server makes it easy for publishers, libraries, retailers, and application service providers (ASPs) to prepare and distribute eBooks and other digital content in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).
Get a great return on your investment
For publishers, retailers, and ASPs, Adobe Content Server is the only system that integrates preparation, procurement, distribution, fulfillment, and rights management of digital content, representing the most complete market offering at the lowest cost. For libraries and educational institutions, Adobe PDF eBooks represent more than 50,000 titles to drive patron interest and usage without taking up limited shelf space. Adobe Content Server's check-in/check-out feature lets libraries deliver eBooks quickly and around the clock for increased patron satisfaction, and patrons don't even have to be logged on to the Internet to read the materials they've checked out.
Reach customers everywhere
Adobe Content Server packages and distributes digital content in universally accessible Adobe PDF, making your market reach enormous. Anyone with free Adobe Reader® software can acquire your content with ease, regardless of operating system. And because millions of publications are created with the aid of Adobe tools such as Adobe FrameMaker®, Adobe InDesign®, Adobe Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator®, and Adobe Acrobat software, they are often eBook-ready — ensuring a huge source of content to satisfy readers' tastes and interests the world over.
Work within your own environment
Adobe Content Server is designed to work seamlessly with your existing Web infrastructure and business model. Whether you are conducting business-to-business transactions, vending books as a retailer, or lending books to library patrons, Content Server works with what you already have.
On the back end, Adobe Content Server links to relational databases using ODBC, so it can access eBook content stored within itself or on other servers. On the front end, the software connects either to e-commerce servers to enable financial transactions or to a library's online catalog to enable lending. Approved clients or patrons can log on securely, place an order, and receive content immediately. And libraries can take advantage of a built-in service workflow that works with their current lending processes.
