Originally named Adobe Forms Server by Adobe, the latest major release (version 7 released in 2005) was branded into Adobes "LiveCycle" suite of PDF-centred document and process management Java EE products, becoming "Adobe LiveCycle Forms".
In 2002, Adobe purchased Accelio and throughout four major releases expanded the system, with the most important improvement arguably being the support for rendering XML templates into the PDF format. Originally a COM-based solution written in Visual Basic, it was later replaced by Java and J2EE.
The main incentive behind the XFA technology was that a single XML form template could dynamically generate forms for several different clients. It was based around JetForms' self-developed XML Forms Architecture (XFA) technology. BACKGROUNDĪdobe LiveCycle Forms began as a research project in 1999 by Canadian-based JetForms (later Accelio) and was originally released as "ReachForm". Adobe was rated number one in Forrester's "Current Offering" category, evaluating the form design interface, capabilities in forms deployment and processing as well as architectural aspects, while IBM came out on top when comparing the corporate and product strategies of the vendors in the study.
