Informative Graphics® Releases Net-It® Now 3.0 With Visual Rights(TM) Security As Low-Cost Content Publishing Alternative To Adobe PDF



Client-Side Publishing Features Ease-Of-Use, Free Brava!® Reader Provided

PHOENIX, Arizona November 12, 2003 - Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in Web-document and collaboration technology, released its Net-It® Now 3.0 publishing software. It offers users a fast, easy-to-use, and content-secure alternative for file publishing with visual access via a free reader.

Net-It Now publishes files by capturing high resolution vector- and raster-based print streams from most Windows applications, including Microsoft Word, Visio and Project; WordPerfect; and image-layout programs such as Photoshop® and Quark Express(TM) and even Windows-based CAD applications. Net-It Now honors existing hyperlinks and bookmarks and allows the resolution of embedded images to be down-sampled to reduce file sizes. Files are published into IGC's "content sealed format" (CSF) with Visual Rights(TM) protection.

Visual Rights is IGC's persistent security controls that can be applied to CSF files at publishing. Users can create CSF files from drawings, documents and images, and add controls such as password protection, hard or relative viewing expiration dates and allow/disallow printing, copying, and measurement. CSF files are compressed and AES 256 bit-encrypted. For more information about Visual Rights, visit http://infograph.com/visrights.htm.

CSF files created by Net-It Now can be viewed and printed using the free Brava!® Reader web and desktop software, also from IGC - see infograph.com/press/bravareader.htm. IGC plans to support CSF annotation and redaction in an upcoming release of its Brava v5.0 web-based view and markup software.

"Print stream publishing provides accurate content fidelity without requiring any de-engineering of native application file formats. With Net-It Now, we're offering a secure and less expensive way to produce and distribute documents, drawings and images for viewing and print," said Gary Heath, CEO at IGC. "Net-It Now is a fast, accurate and secure way to share documents, images and drawings." Trial software for Net-It Now is immediately available at: www.net-it.com/.
