Top reasons to buy Adobe ColdFusion 2016 Enterprise
PDF digital signatures and archival [ENHANCED]—Make PDF files more secure with electronic signatures. Let your users sign,
certify, and validate PDF files to establish document authenticity and integrity. Leverage new archiving capabilities, including
support for PDF/A-2b, to enable preservation of electronic files as long-term, self-contained documents of record.
PDF manipulation with Document Description XML (DDX) [EXISTING]—Leverage full access to DDX to manipulate PDF
documents. Perform advanced tasks, such as adding comments, bookmarks, file attachments, and headers and footers with
automatic page numbers. Customize the appearance of your PDF files by setting page margins, size, and rotation.
HTML to PDF conversion [EXISTING]—Use the powerful conversion engine from Adobe to generate superior quality PDF files
from HTML pages. The engine parses the CSS and applies its settings to ensure that the content in the PDF file appears and
functions as it does in the web browser, retaining its formatting, layout, and hyperlinks.
Security enhancements [ENHANCED]—Leverage the new NTLM authentication support on CFSHAREPOINT, CFOBJECT, and
CFINVOKE to provide authentication, integrity, and confidentiality to users. Now easily lockdown ColdFusion Server because the
scripts directory has been moved out of the CFIDE directory. Enjoy additional security with web server access to CFIDE now
removed by default.
Security code analyser [NEW]—Use the new security code analyzer to scan existing application code to automatically detect
vulnerabilities and potential security breaches. Identify the exact vulnerable code, type of vulnerability and severity level, and
mitigate the vulnerability with the suggestion provided.
Enterprise infrastructure [EXISTING]—Achieve scalability by creating and managing multiple server instances in a clustered or
virtualized environment. Easily deploy ColdFusion as an EAR or WAR from within your existing Java EE application servers. Send
and receive unlimited emails using the built-in, highly scalable email engine.
PDF sanitization [NEW]—Eliminate the unintentional release of sensitive hidden information that can be misused. Easily remove
items, such as actions, JavaScript, flat form fields, alternate images, embedded page thumbnails, embedded files, document tags
and metadata, from your PDF documents.
PDF redaction [NEW]—Ensure confidentiality of content while sharing or distributing PDF documents. Redact selected portions
of visible content, including images, before sharing PDF files. Redacted areas are permanently removed and appear as blanked- or grayed-out in the PDF document.
Command-line interface [NEW]—Work faster by using CFML for your scripting needs. Execute CFM files via the command line to
work with files, databases and email, or invoke web services. Pass named or positional parameters to the CFM files for dynamic
customization.
Microsoft Office file interoperability [EXISTING]—Leverage additional functionalities, such as page break and auto filter, to
manage spreadsheets better. Generate PDF files from PowerPoint and Word files. Produce HTML and SWF files from PowerPoint
presentations. Take advantage of several performance enhancements to work faster with Microsoft Office 2010 files.
Integration of ColdFusion with API manager [NEW]—Go live with minimal configuration. Readily import ColdFusion based REST
services into the API management gateway by configuring the ColdFusion server within the admin portal of the API manager. Set
up API Manager and ColdFusion to share the same JVM for faster access when the load is minimal.
API version and lifecycle management [NEW]—Manage APIs across their lifecycle, from draft to publish to deprecate and retire.
Upgrade APIs without worrying about backward compatibility by managing multiple versions using a single platform. Tweak the
API settings without affecting the production server by configuring a test server.
API rate limiting and throttling [NEW]—Restrict access to APIs beyond a specified threshold based on the number of requests
per unit of time. Select from predefined SLAs or create custom SLA plans. Set soft limits in which access is allowed but the user is
notified, and hard limits that deny access to additional requests.
API access control [NEW]—Secure your APIs by restricting access to authorized applications. Use basic authentication, API keys, OAuth or OAuth with a SAML-based authorization server to ensure that only valid applications are allowed to make an API call.
API developer portal [NEW]—Leverage your APIs to the maximum by establishing a secure platform for developer onboarding,
engagement, and management. Allow developers to explore and try APIs, refer to documentation, view and select usage plans,
sign up and track usage using the built-in developer dashboard.
Full CFSCRIPT support [EXISTING]—Work more productively with complete scripting support for CFSCRIPT. Develop
applications faster and more easily by accessing every ColdFusion 11 functionality using CFSCRIPT.
SOAP to REST translation [NEW]—Leverage existing investments in SOAP services to engage with customers through modern
apps. Use the new API Creation wizard to accomplish the long, cumbersome process of translation to REST in minutes. Simply
import your SOAP services to create a REST API based on WSDL and do everything necessary to complete the translation without
having to write any code.
SOAP gateway [NEW]—Get all the benefits of REST API management for SOAP APIs as well, including access control, rate limiting
and throttling, API monitoring, caching, and version and lifecycle management. Easily configure the SOAP gateway by simply
importing the Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) file corresponding to the SOAP service.
CFML enhancements [ENHANCED]—Reduce multiple lines of code to just one by using the safe navigation operator to avoid
multiple ISDEFINED or NULL checks. Leverage the new data structures to maintain the insertion order, and sort elements within
data structures based on a predefined order. Use other language enhancements, such as additional member functions, the
passarraybyreference setting and searchImplicitScopes to boost developer productivity and application performance.
