Enfocus - History

History

Enfocus was founded in 1993 by Peter Camps. The company was started to develop solutions for the NeXT platform to edit PostScript files. With the decline of NeXT it migrated to the Macintosh platform. In 1997 the focus shifted from PostScript solutions to also include PDF based tools as the publishing industry started to move to support the PDF format.

Enfocus was acquired by Artwork Systems in 2001. As of 2007, after the merger of Artwork Systems and EskoGraphics, Enfocus operates as a strategic business unit within EskoArtwork. In March 2008 EskoArtwork acquired Gradual Software, a Belgian developer of workflow automation software and integrated the Gradual Software technology in the Enfocus business unit.

In 2002, Enfocus was a co-founder of the Ghent PDF Workgroup of which it is still a member.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Boys forget what their country means by just reading “the land of the free” in history books. Then they get to be men, they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books.
    Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)

    It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Only the history of free peoples is worth our attention; the history of men under a despotism is merely a collection of anecdotes.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
