Arbortext Publishing Engine is also distributed with an Arbortext PE 应用程序 written in Java that provides publishing services to Arbortext Editor clients. Unlike the conversion application, the publishing client must be Arbortext Editor. Arbortext Editor users can specify an Arbortext PE 服务器, then select publishing, import, and export operations using the Arbortext Editor program. Publishing requests are fulfilled on the Arbortext PE 服务器.

As part of its publishing service, Arbortext Publishing Engine is distributed with a Cache Manager, an Initializer, and a Java Arbortext PE 应用程序 that gathers information about the publishing configuration of the Arbortext PE 服务器 (such as installed document types, stylesheets, and so on) and reports that information to Arbortext Editor clients or Arbortext Publishing Engine administrators.
