I have come across three (off-the-shelf) options for PDF generation from Windchill content. Can anyone provide feedback on their experience with the two non-PTC-promoted options?
1) Adobe LiveCycle ES (4) - will this product be discontinued and replaced by Adobe Experience Manager?

2) Fishbowl Solutions linkAccess Trigger

3) Etrage Plot Service for Windchill

All three seem to be able to push the output back into Windchill. Can the PDF output of any of these three tools be marked up in CreoView or can only LiveCycle output be marked up? How is Adobe's tool more reliable or better integrated?
Is there another tool in the marketplace that should be considered?
Thanks.
