PORTLAND, Or. – November 1, 2005 – SwiftView, Inc., has released SwiftView Pro, a new high-end version of its popular PCL/HPGL/TIFF view and print utility.  SwiftView Pro adds PCL color support, optional 600 dpi rendering, and the ability to export as PDF, PostScript, PNG, text, or TIFF, in color.

SwiftView Pro's advanced features are included in the latest release of the batch-conversion tool, SwiftConvert.  Both products allow efficient management of all kinds of documents and drawings as print-perfect PCL/HPGL, re-purposing them in other formats as needed.

"SwiftView Pro insures accurate PDF or TIFF output with almost no effort - just hit the 'export' button," says Glenn Widener, SwiftView Tools product manager.  "SwiftView Pro's advanced features make managing documents as PCL, HPGL, or TIFF easier than ever."  Examples from just two of the many industries that use SwiftView:

For print services companies, SwiftViewPro is ideal for easy distribution of highly accurate, searchable PDF proofs to customers.  At the same time, companies can preview their own color and black and white PCL print jobs on-screen, preventing paper waste and more quickly identifying problems.  SwiftView Pro is also perfect for resending print jobs when a quick reprint of just part of a PCL file is needed.

For users of CAD tools and engineering, architectural, or GIS drawings, SwiftView Pro creates very accurate PDF from HPGL drawing print files.  Many customers tell us that their CAD packages export poor quality PDF, yet export high-quality, compact HPGL.  PDF created from this HPGL with SwiftView Pro is ideal for sharing all or parts of drawings with vendors, subcontractors, and others who demand high drawing integrity, but do not own SwiftView or the expensive CAD tool used to create the drawing. 

New Features:  SwiftView Pro maintains SwiftView's industry-renowned rendering speed while delivering:

• Highly accurate conversions.  SwiftView Pro produces high quality PDF images in monochrome and color, avoiding errors introduced by vector or poor "distillation" PDF conversions.  No surprises!  Text in the PDF file is also searchable.
• Improved rendering accuracy and optional 600 dpi resolution.
• Ease of set up and use.  SwiftView Pro's easy Windows GUI needs no training.
• Ease of integration and configuration.  A simple API makes it easy to embed SwiftView Pro or SwiftConvert into applications and workflow processes and to combine viewing and conversion with searching, indexing, and other functions.
