Original Press Release:
Informative Graphics Releases Brava! Desktop v1.2
Multi-Format Viewer Gets Dynamic Compare, Save To PDF, Advanced Redaction
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona - August 10, 2005 Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in content visualization, secure publishing and collaboration technology, announces the newest release of its Brava!® Desktop multi-format view, markup and redaction software, version 1.2. Brava Desktop is part of the Brava visualization and annotation/markup product line, which includes Brava Enterprise, Brava Desktop, Brava Reader and Brava SDK (Software Developer's Kit).
Brava Desktop software enables users to view standard formats like TIFF, CALS, PDF, CSF, CGM and HPGL plot files, as well as native formats from programs including Microsoft Office applications, Visio, AutoCAD, MicroStation, SolidWorks and more-all in one easy-to-use Windows desktop application. IGC has engineered the new Brava Desktop viewer to handle documents (with scrollable paging), images and CAD drawings (showing attributes and including true snap-to-geometry) with equal fidelity and efficiency.
New features in version 1.2:
Save To PDF: Any document, image or CAD drawing format type can be converted to PDF. Markups also can be saved as Adobe annotation elements.
Compare: Drawings and image files can be compared dynamically (flipping between images using a slider), side-by-side, or overlaid with differences highlighted. A drawing/image with markups can be compared to a new revision to quickly verify that markup changes have been made.
Redaction: Automated redaction finds and redacts (blocks out sensitive areas from view, print and search) all targeted words or phrases.
Licensing: Concurrent network licensing enables license sharing across a local area network deployment.
Brava Desktop also includes our own Content Sealed Format (CSF), a superior alternative for secure content distribution over open format PDF files, which can be edited, converted or changed using third-party software. CSF incorporates IGC's Visual Rights(TM) persistent security controls, including password protection, onscreen banners, print and other feature restrictions, redaction and more. Secure CSF files saved by Brava Desktop or published by IGC's Net-It® publishing products can be viewed with the free Brava Reader, which also views PDF and TIFF.
"This release of Brava Desktop really illustrates the strength and innovation of our product engineering. The ability to flip between two drawing or image revisions to dynamically compare differences, the content security and control of Visual Rights, CSF, redaction, interoperability with PDF, ease-of-use, and great fidelity with excellent performance-it's clear that Brava Desktop carries a lot of value," said Gary Heath, IGC's President and CEO.
Brava Desktop licensing starts at $195 U.S. Markup and office format support are licensed as add-on options. Standalone and concurrent networking license are available.
