PDF2U Joins MyOrderDesk as an Award Winning Offering from PagePath

Press release from the issuing company

Aurora, IL, April 10, 2003: PagePath Technologies has, for a second time, received the Product of the Year award from the PrintImage International association, formerly the National Association of Quick Printers (NAQP). During the association's Annual Conference, PagePath was presented the award for its PDF2U Web-based orderflow system. Established in 1999, the Product of the Year Award is given to the product or service that best improved the product offering, profitability or customer service and satisfaction of quick and small commercial printers. "This award is a great honor and one not bestowed lightly. PrintImage members seek aggressive, forward-thinking suppliers to partner with to establish their company as a leading edge printer in their marketplace," said Steve Johnson, PrintImage International President & CEO. A Web Site enabled with PDF2U can make significant improvements to a shop's profitability by eliminating many of the common file problems the shop must correct. In addition, PDF2U enables the shop to replace extensive customer training with an easy to use "File >Print" capability that automatically delivers print ready files to the shop and creates a proof for the customer to approve. Since many end users can't make PDF files correctly even after extensive training, the automated PDF2U system provides extra convenience to the customer while saving the shop hours of valuable training and prepress time. The automated system joins the existing MyOrderDesk online orderflow tools including the QwikPrice online pricing system, the DocMart inventory management system, the ezMerge variable data system for business cards, etc., the SimpleSend and LAUNCH! file transfer systems, and the Ready2Run purchasing agent approval system. MyOrderDesk orderflow tools are private-labeled solutions that are added to a shop's existing Web site or used in a PagePath supplied Web site. With MyOrderDesk, a graphic arts service provider can avoid the significant investment in time and money required to create and maintain a sophisticated e-commerce website. PagePath Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1983 with its Silicon Prairie headquarters in Aurora, Illinois. The firm pioneered the use of the Internet to place orders and transmit documents with an easy to use "point & click" system in 1996. MyOrderDesk also received the Product of the Year award from PrintImage International & Best of Breed by Xerox. More information is available at http://www.PagePath.com
