How to install just adobe distiller

I'm using a CMS system that outputs xml to pdf. The system can convert EPS images to PDF using Distiller or ghostscript. Distiller is much faster, but our restrictions prevent us from putting a full acrobat or acrobat pro on our server. Is it possible to just get Distiller by itself? Thank you.

The Distiller Server app was discontinued almost a decade ago.

Acrobat Pro includes Distiller but you must not use it on a server as I think you've identified. (This is a licensing requirement as well as a technical one).

If you need a server PostScript converter, Adobe's current product is "LiveCycle PDF Generator". I believe you need the "PostScript edition" as a minimum.

Thanks, I've gotten there before. I'm curious that it's listing distiller update for other languages, but may not be the app itself. Any experience on that?
