Datalogics
Datalogics was founded in 1967 in Chicago. They started early in the “document technology” business, developing one of the first computerized typesetting systems, and building editing workstations and software to drive them (ask us what “working under DURESS” really means).In the early 80’s they participated in the ISO committee to standardizeSGML, the forerunner of XML and HTML, and applied this knowledge in developing their DL Pager and DL Composer publishing systems.In 1993 Datalogics was purchased by Frame Technology Corporation; and two years later Frame was purchased by Adobe Systems. Shortly thereafter, Adobe spun us back off as a privately-held independent company, retaining partial interest as an Adobe Ventures Company. Since 1998 they have been working with Adobe, acting as the key channel for several of their PDF toolkits including the Adobe PDF Library, Adobe Normalizer, Adobe PDF Print Engine, Adobe InDesign Server and the Adobe Reader Mobile SDK.Today their business focuses on providing these technologies to software developers and enabling them to bring their products to market faster and with superior eBook and PDF capabilities. From their downtown offices in the West Loop, they support hundreds of customers worldwide who are using their technology in diverse mission-critical applications.Over the past forty years, technology has changed dramatically, but their core values haven’t: they remain deeply committed to supporting their customers and staying technically-focused to provide them the best possible products and services.
