CRAWFORD INTRODUCES
Full Text Output Capability

Toronto, Ontario, October 21, 2002 -Crawford Technologies Inc. today introduced their newest transformation enhancement solution, PRO Text Output. This dynamic software module permits the creation of full text files from Xerox LCDS/Metacode or AFP print files.

The PRO Text Output allows clients to create a text file from their AFP or Metacode file, which contains all of the text from the original input file. In addition, this output file can identify the actual fonts used for each line. As a result, clients can search for specific text by data content or font used.

Like all other Crawford modules, this software is compatible with the suite of PRO transformer products. PRO Text Output can run standalone or as a plug-in during a single processing pass of the input data file by the PRO conversion and normalization products. PRO Text Output is available on all Windows operating systems as well as Solaris, AIX, Linux and HP-UX.

PRO Text Output is another product from Crawford that allows more functionality without changing the way companies are doing business. This text file can be used for a number of purposes such as importing the text into other applications. Often clients need to convert from AFP and Metacode into ASCII text, and this is exactly what this provides.

"This new capability makes it incredibly easy for our clients to get the text out of their print streams", exclaimed Ernie Crawford, President of Crawford Technologies Inc., adding "It is like having a simple reverse compiler for complex print languages".

Jay Pollitt, VP of Sales and Marketing, states "this module now allows our clients/partners to convert their legacy data into a format that can be used with their document composition software as variable data or stored in the preexisting data storage products".
