Press Release

Informative Graphics Releases Brava!® Desktop 2D Multi-Format View, Print, Markup and CSF Publishing

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona - June 2, 2004 — Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in Web-document and collaboration technology, announced that it has released its Brava!® Desktop view, markup and collaboration software after a successful open beta program. The desktop offering is designed to fill out the line of Brava visualization products, which to date includes Brava! Enterprise, Brava! Desktop, Brava Reader and Brava SDK (Software Developer’s Kit).

Brava! Desktop is user-friendly software that views, marks up and prints native document, image and CAD drawing formats, as well as IGC’s own CSF (Content Sealed Format) files. Brava Desktop can also convert all supported formats to CSF, which incorporates IGC’s Visual Rights® persistent security controls, including password protection, onscreen banners, print and other feature restrictions, redaction (blockout sensitive areas from view and search) and more. Optionally, markups and redactions can be burned into a CSF file. CSF files also can be viewed with the free Brava! Reader for convenient distribution.

Brava Desktop reads standard formats like TIFF, CALS, PDF, CSF, CGM, and HPGL plot files, as well as formats from programs like the Microsoft Office applications, Visio, AutoCAD, MicroStation, and many more. Markups are stored in open standard XML format as overlays, so the original file is never altered. CAD file visualization supports reference files, full geometry-based measurement, line weights and plotting to scaled output.

Brava! Desktop pricing starts at $195 for view and print.

“Our objective in developing Brava! Desktop is to complete a full spectrum of content publishing and visualization with Visual Rights capabilities. Our Net-It content publishing products provide CSF creation from within office and CAD applications, and Brava! Desktop permits CSF creation without the native application, giving customers the added value of CSF publishing and native format viewing in a single package. Brava! Desktop is designed to be simple to use, highly accurate and blazingly fast for CAD and image content,” said Gary Heath, IGC’s President and CEO.
