New Anark Reseller Combines Anark Core Platform and Adobe LiveCycle ES2 for Advanced 3D PDF Document Automation

Boulder, CO, August 12, 2010: Anark Corporation, a leading provider of automated 3D CAD transformation and product visualization solutions, today announced a new reseller partnership with Pro Technology Automation, Inc. of Simi Valley California. Now, with the ability to resell the Anark Core(TM) Platform in concert with the Adobe® LiveCycle® ES2 line of products, ProTechnology is able to offer advanced 3D CAD driven automation and processing capabilities to manufacturing customers built upon the Adobe 3D PDF standard.

Anark, an Adobe Manufacturing Solutions Partner, develops and sells the Anark Core Platform that allows manufacturers to simplify, convert, and combine complex 3D CAD assemblies with associated manufacturing data into "100% native" Adobe 3D PDFs. 3D PDF documents can be generated on an individual's personal computer using Anark Core Workstation, or automatically by Anark Core Server, and takes full advantage of the Adobe PDF Technology Platform--including the Free Adobe Reader®, Adobe LiveCycle ES2 (with optional Digital Rights Management and Reader Extensions) plus design collaboration made possible with Adobe® Acrobat® and Acrobat.com.

ProTechnology also offer development, support and customer analysis to architect solutions for business document generation, presentation, process automation and archiving, and best practices for automating the deployment of PDF and 3D PDF related business processes.

"Anark is pleased to add ProTechnology to our family of reseller partners. Their intimate knowledge and success with the Adobe LiveCycle product line, combined with Anark Core's ability to create 100% native, lightweight 3D PDFs from large complex product assemblies and manufacturing databases, is a perfect marriage built upon the proven strength and industry backbone of the Adobe Technology Platform" said Stephen Collins, CEO of Anark.

"ProTechnology is extremely excited with our new relationship with Anark Corporation. We believe Anark is quickly becoming the new Adobe standard for desktop and server-based 3D PDF creation, and the Anark Core Platform perfectly complements our long-standing success with the Adobe LiveCycle product line" said John D'Aintree, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for ProTechnology.

"Now that Adobe has fully committed to continue support for the 3D PDF format (announced by Adobe on May 24th, 2010), combined with the powerful development partnership that Adobe and Tech Soft 3D recently announced, we feel there is finally a high-quality, long-term alternative for re-purposing, protecting and interacting with 3D CAD assemblies in an open format" remarked Chris Garcia, SVP of business development for Anark. "By leveraging the widely accepted Adobe PDF standard, we believe that customers will finally be able to realize the full value of their 3D CAD and manufacturing assets without the dependence on a single CAD or PLM software vendor."
