Founded in 1981, Interleaf was a company that created computer software products for the technical publishing creation and distribution process. Its initial product was the first commercial document processor that integrated text and graphics editing, producing WYSIWYG output at near-typeset quality. It also had early products in the document management, electronic publishing, and Web publishing spaces. Interleaf's "Active Documents" functionality, integrated into its text and graphics editing products in the early 1990s, was the first to give document creators programmatic access to... virtually all of the document's elements, structures, and software capabilities. Broadvision acquired Interleaf in January 2000. The latest version of the publishing software is called QuickSilver. Interleaf's headquarters was in Cambridge, Massachusetts and later moved to Waltham, Massachusetts. Interleaf was founded by David Boucher and Harry George in 1981. Boucher served as chief executive officer from 1981 until 1992; George served as chief financial officer. Earlier, both were among the founders of Kurzweil Computer Products.
