Crawford Technologies Introduces
PDF and PostScript to AFP Transform

Toronto, Ontario, March 1, 2004 - Crawford Technologies Inc. today introduced their newest printing solution, PRO PS to AFP Version 2 which converts PostScript and PDF files to Advanced Function Printing (AFPDS) format for printing on AFP printers. PRO PS to AFP product integrates seamlessly with IBM's InfoPrint Manager and Content Manager OnDemand products. The product handles all standard PostScript capabilities and dynamically converts print resources, as needed.

PRO PS to AFP Version 2 provides several major improvements including support for PostScript Level 2 and 3, support for conversions of PDF files and support for Unix and Windows platforms. In addition one of the most exciting new features allows text from the PostScript and PDF files to be placed in the AFP file as text. This contrasts with other products in the market that simply RIP the entire document, resulting in very large AFP files. AFP files created by PRO PS to AFP are smaller and more efficient.

PRO PS to AFP Version 2 can also extract information from the PDF and PostScript files and insert indexes (TLEs) into the AFP files.

Based on the JAWS PostScript interpreter from Global Graphics Software Inc., PRO PS to Metacode Version 2 offers unsurpassed levels of performance, document fidelity and compatibility with PostScript and PDF objects.

"With PRO PS to AFP Version 2, organizations can now utilize high speed legacy laser printers to efficiently print new applications, greatly improving flexibility and reducing costs" stated Ernie Crawford, President of Crawford Technologies Inc.
