Adobe Launches New ColdFusion 11 Enterprise Edition for Deploying Web and Mobile Apps

Adobe has made available Adobe ColdFusion 11 Enterprise Edition, an all-in-one application server that offers developers a single platform to build and deploy scalable, web and mobile applications in enterprise environments. It includes new features to speed up development, testing, debugging, and deployment of mobile applications. 

ColdFusion 11 now provides full access to Document Description XML (DDX), so that developers can do a lot more with PDFs, such as adding comments, bookmarks, file attachments, and headers and footers with automatic page numbers. Further they can customize the appearance of PDF files by setting page margins, size, and rotation. PDF files are also made more secure with electronic signatures. 

Developers can leverage new archiving capabilities to enable preservation of electronic files as long-term, self-contained documents of record. An improved conversion engine from Adobe generates superior quality PDF files from HTML pages.

ColdFusion 11 also now helps limit security risks by restricting default remote access to the admin portal. Developers can make servers more secure against click-jacking and cross-site scripting by using new functions to sanitize user input. Programmers can maintain and modify existing code faster and more easily with member functions on ColdFusion objects and extend the power of HTML5 web sockets to public-facing web applications with real-time server response. Finally, they can publish data more securely over Secure Socket Layer.

The new Adobe ColdFusion 11 Enterprise Edition is priced at US$8499.
