CAD Centric Systems Announces PDF Publisher(tm)



Automated PDF Publishing of CAD Data

Cincinnati, June 19, 2002: CAD Centric Systems, The Document Distribution Company, today announced the immediate availability of PDF Publisher the latest addition to its family of CAD distribution tools and utilities.

The CAD Centric PDF Publisher automatically converts data from native IDEAS drafting formats into fully functional PDF files. In addition, the Publisher supports generic CAD formats allowing archived data and data from virtually any CAD system to be easily
published in a PDF file format. Unlike tiff generated PDFs, these PDF files retain precision vector resolution providing high quality, easily distributable engineering documents. The result - published data that can be readily deployed via the WEB and viewed using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

"In today's web-centric environment, companies have struggled with deploying engineering data via this medium," commented Doug Dennis, President, CAD Centric Systems. "The options are varied and results are often unpredictable since off the shelf tools have not readily been available. That's why we created the PDF Publisher - to streamline the process of getting data from CAD to a format with greater web distribution flexibility," he continued.

PDF Publisher builds upon the capabilities of CAD Centric's other data visualization tools: OneView Lite, Drafting Apprentice, OneView Professional, and Xpress offering unprecedented ease at publishing web-ready information. "We have been very successful with our visualization products for engineering data consumers inside organizations; but,
have felt that we weren't helping the larger community of users outside an organization," commented John Buehler, Chief Technical Officer. "We developed the Publisher to allow companies to distribute their CAD data to those consumers and to make it easier than ever."
