It seems like the Sun is setting on a legend. JetForm Central has been around now for perhaps 20 years, and after printing perhaps billions of pages, is due to be retired. My own history with the product spans about half that time.

Even though Adobe has laid out the roadmap for the demise of Central, lots of people still use it. There are a number of thriving companies out there in the World that do quite well supporting it (such as 4 Point Solutions), and even Adobe’s end of support date is now 2012.

With thousands of companies the World over still using Central for their critical business, I think good old JetForm still has a lot of life left in it. I also think that maybe I can use my experience with the product to help people out there who are still using the product, and perhaps even people new to it entirely.

If you would like to ask a question about JetForm/Accelio/Adobe Central or Output Designer, please go to the Ask JetForm Daddy page and submit your question from there. I can’t guarantee that I’ll answer your question - or any questions at all - but I should get to some of them now and then.

The idea is that, over time, the question and answer section might develop into a resource that people might actually find useful. (Heaven forbid!)

Of course, this site as a whole is intended to be about JetForm, LiveCycle and Flex and there will surely be lots of Flex going forward. But JetForm will always occupy a special corner of my brain…if not a special place in my heart.
