Soft Gold Announces Version 5 of ABViewer

TULA, Russia - May 17, 2005: Soft Gold is proud to announce today the release of ABViewer, the latest version of a fully-fledged image viewer designed for the use at home and at work. With ABViewer, you can browse, view, and edit the most popular raster and vector file formats as well as CAD files. The program offers you the editing tools for fine-tuning your images and converting them to different file formats. You can edit any single file or several files - all at the same time. Also, the tile printing feature allows you to print large images on small printers.

"ABViewer is designed for anyone who deals with images of different formats," said Dmitry Sidorkin, CEO of Soft Gold. "It supports a multitude of file formats, so you won't have to buy additional software to view, for example, DWG drawings. Another good thing is the Batch image processing that allows you to apply selected settings to any number of images at once. This will give you more time for being creative, rather than doing one the same job over and over again. And the ABViewer's Clip Rectangle tool will help you copy images to MS Word faster than ever before."

1. Common view. A portion of the drawing is selected with the Clip Rectangle tool.

ABViewer has an intuitive interface where commonly used options and commands can be easily located on the toolbar. To open an image, you can browse through the folders in the Explorer Panel. However any frequently used image can be added to the Favorites list and opened in one click through the Favorites Panel. Thanks to the advanced image loading and navigation capabilities, opening an image is lightning fast even for AutoCAD DXF files. To view an image the way you want, you can use scrolling, manual and auto zooming, auto-window size, and dragging.

Along with viewing, ABViewer can be used for image fine-tuning and format conversion. You can rotate, resize, rename images and convert them to BMP, EMF, JPEG, GIF and TIFF file formats. And with ABViewer's Batch function, you can apply conversion settings to many images at once. It will help you spend less time on repetitive tasks and work more productively. Also, ABViewer can help you print large images to several pages that can be later on glued together. The following predefined sizes are available: A, B, C, D, E; ISO-A, DIN: A4, A3, A2, A1, A0.
