Australia's DocsCorp has reached agreement with Chicago-based Datalogics to license core Adobe technologies in its range of products for document management. 

DocsCorp will utilise the Adobe PDF Library and Adobe Normalizer technologies in all its products - pdfDocs, compareDocs and contentCrawler. A rebuild of pdfDocs 4, scheduled for release later this year, will offer enhanced PDF editing and manipulation capabilities. 

DocsCorp President Dean Sappey, said "this agreement underscores Adobe's view of DocsCorp as a partner rather than as a competitor. Under the terms of the agreement, DocsCorp can now take full advantage of the same core PDF technology that Adobe uses in its Acrobat family of products." 

Not all PDF developers and software houses are able to license this technology, he notes. 

DocsCor pdfDocs is a project-centric PDF management application that integrates with business systems, while contentCrawler converts image-based documents in content repositories to text-searchable PDFs, which are then saved back into the content repository for indexing.

compareDocs is employed  for comparing and analysing the difference between two Word or PDF documents.
