Informative Graphics Delivers Document to Flash, Document to PDF Server-Based Publishing

Net-It™ Central 6.1 Adds More Versatility and Value With Multi-format Web Publishing Features

PHOENIX, Arizona - August 5, 2003 -- Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in document and collaboration technology, announced today the release of Net-It™ Central 6.1, which now includes server-based Flash and PDF document publishing capabilities. Net-It Central automates file publishing and web site creation for online access to documents and CAD drawings.

Authorized users only need to save files to designated folders. Net-It Central then automatically publishes secure versions of the files with folder navigation as an easy to use web site. Published files display directly in the user's web browser, within the Net-It Central viewer, Flash player, or Adobe® Reader®, depending on the publishing format chosen.

Like FlashPaper software from Macromedia®, Net-It Central's Flash printer can publish any Windows®-printable document, including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint®, Visio®, and Project files, into a format viewable by the Macromedia Flash player. The end result is a fast and web-friendly viewing experience. Net-It Central 6.1 can also publish documents as Adobe PDF files.

Net-It Central compliments content management and portal systems like Microsoft® SharePoint™ Portal Server. It requires no HTML coding, page format editing, or cutting and pasting of text. Net-It Central server-based publishing enables web site authors / contributors to easily keep online organizational documents (like policies and procedures, lunch menus, job postings, project charts, organization charts, etc.) updated for their departments.

Those who need office document annotation capabilities can still publish files to the native Net-It Central format and use the Brava 4.1 viewer, which comes included. For engineering documents, the Net-It Central for CAD option lets users publish, markup, and view CAD drawings as well. This centralizes organizational file access for released content and enables secure sharing of office and CAD files beyond the firewall for contractors, vendors, and remote locations. Original files are not transferred and the native authoring application isn't required to view and annotate published files.

"With Net-It Central 6.1, PDF and Flash server-based publishing, our customers now have expanded web-publishing options," said Gary Heath, IGC's President and CEO. "Automated server-based publishing to these web-standard document formats, in addition to work-in-progress annotation and markup functionality, is a powerful capability that can really streamline and transform publishing routines for single departments and large enterprises alike."
