Original Press Release:



Synergis Software Ships Adept PrintWave® to Automate Printing, Plotting and PDF Publishing from within Adept Document Management Software



QUAKERTOWN, Pa., June 21 -- Synergis(R) Software, the independent software development division of Synergis Technologies, Inc., today announced the availability of Adept PrintWave(R). Adept PrintWave enables single or batch mode printing, plotting, and PDF publishing both on- demand and in an automated mode, directly from the company's flagship Adept document management software. By integrating high quality PDF and hardcopy output with Adept's document control capabilities, PrintWave ensures the accuracy of information released to other departments, contractors, customers and vendors. Further, PrintWave enables Adept users to output large print jobs efficiently without monopolizing a workstation, and without the need for an expensive license of a CAD application on their desktop. PrintWave supports native application printing, plotting, and PDF publishing for AutoCAD(R), Autodesk(R) Inventor(TM), SolidWorks(R) and Microsoft(R) Word and Excel.

"PrintWave does all the work for us so our users can stay productive, and combined with Adept, we know we have the right version of the files we are transmitting to our vendors," said David Vernon, Information Systems Manager, Amerex Corporation. "Our organization is moving away from paper, so the ability to generate automated and batch PDF output is a huge advantage for us. Plus the system is very easy to use and offers a great deal of flexibility."

Automated Printing, Plotting and PDF Publishing Extends Cost Savings and Process Improvement

Adept PrintWave further extends Adept's document control and process automation throughout the enterprise. Here are the key benefits PrintWave delivers:

-- Native application quality PDF or hardcopy printing and publishing right from within the Adept application. Users don't have to open a document in its native application to get a high quality print or plot; and management doesn't need to purchase expensive tools to generate PDF output.
-- Flexible printing and publishing. PrintWave allows users to generate on-demand hardcopy and PDF output from within Adept. Also an Adept administrator can configure Adept to automatically generate PDF or hardcopy output upon the release of a document to ensure that the latest version is available to those who need it.
-- Support for most popular CAD and business applications. At first customer ship, PrintWave supports plotting, printing and PDF publishing for AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, and Microsoft Word and Excel.
-- Paper and PDF revision control. All PDF and hardcopy documents are controlled through Adept to ensure that the output is the correct version. Additionally, PrintWave adds a watermark to hardcopy output to help control released paper documents. This capability helps organizations easily conform to industry standards such as ISO, QS and other quality standard requirements for distributing controlled hard copy documents.
-- Consistent output standards throughout the organization. Adept Administrators can configure CAD output standards to ensure consistency and quality. For example, with AutoCAD drawings, paper size, scale, pen weights and color vs. black and white settings can all be configured. Once configured, all documents generated using PrintWave conform to the standards mandated by the organization.
-- Fast output of large print jobs. PrintWave uses a dedicated print server so large, batch output jobs do not monopolize a user's workstation.
-- Print and Publish across the enterprise. PrintWave accommodates multiple, concurrent output jobs easily and supports users across multiple sites.
-- Audit log. PrintWave maintains an audit log of all output to ensure successful processing.
-- Save commonly used print jobs. PrintWave allows users to save and recall large, commonly used print jobs to save time. This capability is especially beneficial for automating job orders, work packets and other repetitive, controlled hardcopy and PDF deliverables.
-- Reliable PDF publishing. Synergis Software has partnered with Bluebeam Software, Inc. to deliver trusted PDF creation technology.
