Press release from the issuing company

If you’re interested in optimizing PDF files or seeing the JPEG 2000 file format in action, please take a look at what Apago, Inc., a leading developer of workflow efficiency software, is showing in Booth 5038. Apago will unveil PDFshrink? and PDFshrink Lite?, new software tools for Mac OS X users that reduce the size of PDF files generated by both Mac OS X and by popular applications such as Adobe Acrobat Distiller. The smaller-size PDF files optimized by PDFshrink can be stored, transmitted and downloaded more quickly, making them more efficient for use on the web, archiving, e-mail, and reading on-screen- Apago also will have leading-edge technology demonstrations of product prototypes that use the new JPEG 2000 format as a replacement for TIFF and current JPEG formats. JPEG 2000 enables using lossy and lossless compression in the same file, allowing multiple versions of the same image to be created simultaneously for different purposes such as cross-media publishing.
