What was the official name of JetForm in Jul 2002?
JetForm JetForm was the name of a Canadian software manufacturer created by four consultants ( Wayne Hall , Bob Allum , Tom Hicks , and John Gleed ) that was based out of Ottawa , Ontario , Canada and an electronic form software product of the same name . JetForm once had major offices in the United States , various countries in Europe , Australia , and New Zealand . It was founded in 1982 , and was listed under NASDAQ as FORMF , under the Pacific Stock Exchange as JTF , and the Toronto Stock Exchange as JFM . History . The company was originally named Indigo Software and was solely a software consulting firm . Indigo Software did work for the Canadian Federal Government and IBM ( as the maintainer of an IBM CAD software product ) ; among other clients . One significant government project resulted in an electronic forms product being created : iFiller , iPrint , et al . With Microsofts release of Windows 3.11 , Indigo Software did a major enhancement to the forms software and re-branded it JetForm . The JetForm forms product was very successful , and Indigo Softwares consulting work also began to focus on work associated with the JetForm software . Given the popularity of the forms software , Indigo Software made a decision to rename the company JetForm . Its eponymous series of products directly competed against other electronic forms software , such as Delrinas PerForm , and FormFlow products . In September , 1996 , Symantec , which had bought Delrina the previous year , sold their Electronic Forms Division to JetForm . JetForm continued to develop the FormFlow series of products under its own name . Around this time , JetForm bought the naming rights to the Ottawa Baseball Stadium , naming it JetForm Park . On September 13 , 2001 , JetForm changed its name to Accelio . Accelio was acquired by Adobe Systems in February 2002 . The electronic forms products were officially retired in 2004 . Adobe marketed JetForm as Adobe Central Output Server , without any major changes . Adobes successor for the JetForm technology was released June 7 , 2007 , as Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite ( ES ) , part of the Adobe LiveCycle suite . The product was renamed again on April 9 , 2009 to Adobe Central / Central Pro Output Server and reached its end of Extended Support on June 30 , 2016 . JetForm Rises Again , In 2007 two of the original founders Tom Hicks , Wayne Hall and four of the core software developers of JetForm Central came together to build a new enterprise class document designer , merge engine , presentation and delivery system . The software is called DocOrigin ( a play off the Origin of Documents ) . DocOrigin was first released in 2009 and in 2013 version 3.0 was released . JetForm Software . JetForm Design allowed for routing and tracking in workflow systems , on-screen form creation , and access to SQL and ODBC-compliant databases . JetForm Filler was used for completing on-screen forms . JetForm also developed the XML form format XFA , which was later adopted by Adobe into its PDF software . One of the Indigo Forms softwares innovations when it was introduced was its ability to have its forms installed into Laserjet font cartridges . This meant that the product only had to send forms data to the printer ; since the form was already encoded in the font cartridge . Given the slow printer interfaces used at that time , this greatly reduced print times .
