Informative Graphics Offers Free CSF Writer For Microsoft® Office And Windows-Based Design Applications

Net-It® Now Content Publishing Software Converts Files to CSF with Visual Rights® for Viewing with Brava!® Reader, Both Publisher and Reader Are Now Free

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona March 31, 2004 — Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in Web-document and collaboration technology, announced today that its latest Net-It® Now CSF writer for Windows will be available as freeware. Net-It Now enables secure and efficient sharing of document and design content by publishing it to CSF (content sealed format) with Visual Rights® protection, regardless of the application used to create the content.

“Net-It Now offers fast and accurate publishing functionality that matches up well to other publish-to-view technologies; we’re opening it up for everyone to understand just how good our CSF format is.” said Gary Heath, IGC’s President and CEO. “We want to showcase our persistent and easy-to-use Visual Rights technology, and what better way than to give it away so people and organizations can use it for free?”

Users can create a CSF file simply by selecting the Net-It Now printer name (for Microsoft Office applications there is an even more convenient toolbar button and menu command). Net-It Now publishes files by capturing high-resolution vector and raster-based print streams from most Windows applications, including Microsoft Word, Visio and Project; WordPerfect; image-layout programs such as Photoshop® and Quark Express™; and even CAD applications. IGC also offers specific CAD system plug-ins that provide optimized CSF output with enhanced CAD support, including 3D.

Visual Rights is IGC’s integrated security controls that can be applied during CSF publishing. Users can create CSF files from drawings, documents and images, and can add controls such as password protection, hard or relative viewing expiration dates and allow/disallow printing, copying and measurement. CSF files are compressed and AES 256 bit-encrypted. For more information about Visual Rights, visit http://www.infograph.com/digital-rights-security.htm.

CSF files created by Net-It Now can be viewed and printed using the free Brava!® Reader web and desktop software, also from IGC. For more information, visit http://www.infograph.com/press/bravareader.htm.

Net-It Now is part of a family of applications designed to take advantage of the CSF format. For organizations that need electronic markup capabilities, Brava! Desktop and/or Brava! Enterprise can help reduce cycle time, communication errors and costly printing throughout collaboration process.
