Xplor, ATLANTA, Ga., – Oct. 27, 2003 – SwiftView, Inc., today announced a substantial upgrade to its popular SwiftView PCL/HPGL viewer that will support all PCL6 documents, including color.  SwiftView version 7.0, the first color PCL6 viewer on the market, also includes improved text search.  An evaluation copy is now available; the official release is set for January, 2004.

PCL, the native format for HP LaserJet and similar printers, is easy and free to author - just print "to file."  A laser printer is not needed to create a PCL file.  PCL files are extremely accurate because they are the actual document as printed.

The key new features of SwiftView version 7.0 are:

• Color document support: supports PCL version 6, including color PCL6 files.
   
• Enhanced text search: more file formats, from more sources, faster, using less memory.   Text analysis includes text export with full character position information.

• Fonts On Demand/Macros On Demand: browser-based SwiftView automatically downloads from the Web any macros or fonts required by the PCL document.  Fonts and macros are cached once downloaded, enabling easy and efficient online forms implementation, and improving accuracy and performance for documents that depend on printer-resident fonts.
   
• WAN licensing option: licenses an entire wide-area network with one license file.

"SwiftView's support for color expands the usability of PCL as a highly accurate portable document format for any Windows® application, like business presentations, color photos, highlighted spreadsheets, full-color maps, and more," said Glenn Widener, SwiftView Tools product manager.  "SwiftView and PCL handle a greater range of business documents with ease, including huge documents like ERP reports, bills, etc.  With no-cost authoring, optional SwiftPublish and SwiftReprint document packaging tools, and SwiftView's flexible licensing, users can expect dramatic improvements in both productivity and the bottom line, especially compared with proprietary formats."
