Centreville, VA and Cambridge UK, October 26th, 2006: Global Graphics has released a new family of its Jaws PDF products that is tailored to meet the needs of users looking for a comprehensive PDF solution in one easy-to-use package. The Jaws PDF Suites offer powerful, high-quality PDF tools for PDF creation, assembly, merge, mark-up and forms-fill, whilst significantly reducing the total cost of licensing. The Suites include the award-winning Jaws PDF Creator®, Jaws PDF Editor and Jaws PDF Server. James Bidewell, Global Graphics’ sales director for eDocument Technologies says, “Users needs have evolved beyond simple PDF creation, and, as use of PDF has broadened, they need a more rounded solution. Organizations want to be able to build adaptable PDF-based workflows where some users create PDF files, while others need to manipulate and markup these PDFs in the workflow. The new Jaws PDF Suites give them easy-to-use and cost-effective packages with all these advantages, whether they are a small or home office user or a large multinational corporation wanting to deploy PDF on a worldwide basis." The Jaws PDF Desktop Suite for the single user or small office, combines Jaws PDF Creator and Jaws PDF Editor in one convenient, affordable combined installer to provide high-quality PDF creation, manipulation, annotation, merge and forms fill functionality for only 89 USD/69 Euro/47GBP (SRP) The Jaws PDF Server Suite provides IT administrators in the small office and enterprise with high-quality server or end user-based PDF creation, optimisation and distribution capabilities. A simplified licensing model makes for easy deployment because the organisation can choose any mix of client or server- based PDF creation tools in addition to PDF view, merge, mark-up and form fill tools for each desktop. The Jaws PDF Enterprise Suite is for 300 users upwards and provides the Jaws PDF Server Suite plus annual Maintenance Cover so that IT administrators can be reassured that they always have access to the latest software. 'It makes very good sense to package the products together in this way, I would guess that at least half of our enquirers now demand more than just the ability to create quality PDFs” said Ivor Dixon, managing director of the UK Distributor, Positive Focus. 'The flexibility of adding the desktop tools to Jaws PDF Server also allows the increasing number of people using laptops, on the road or at home, to carry the Jaws technology with them, and gives consistent quality of PDF across the organization.'

A simplified licensing model places the focus on deployment rather than administration: licensing is priced on a per seat basis, where the organization can choose any mix of client or server-based PDF creation tools in addition to providing PDF viewing, merge, mark-up and form-fill tools for each desktop.
