Citation Software News

Welcome to the April 8, 2005 issue of
Citation Software News. In this issue we're focusing on the following topics:
- New developer's PDF-viewing/editing toolkit supports PDF forms
(AcroForms) and has an improved rendering engine
- Developers can validate addresses on the fly and in batch mode with
"AddressObject" software
- Sign up for our Lease-to-Own Program and get started with
variable-data printing for $200 per month or less
- Take our fun "Can You Mail It?" quiz
New developer's PDF-viewing/editing toolkit supports PDF forms (AcroForms)
and has a new rendering engine
Version 3.0 of the Jaws PDF Editor Software Development Kit (SDK) is now available.
Developed by Global Graphics Software and offered for licensing by
Citation Software, the Jaws PDF Editor SDK allows programmers to
incorporate PDF-viewing capabilities and PDF-editing capabilities into
their applications. This new version of the SDK provides quite a few
new features; mainly support for AcroForms (also known as PDF forms),
an improved rendering engine, and enhanced text-searching support.
Support for AcroForms. Now programmers
can display and print PDF files that contain the following PDF form elements:
text boxes, buttons, check boxes, combo boxes, and radio buttons. This new version
of the SDK also supports the entry of data into PDF forms and the
saving of that data. The saving of data is supported either within the
form itself, or as a separate FDF file.
Improved rendering engine. The Jaws
PDF RIP rendering engine has been added to the product, replacing
the GDI+ renderer as the default engine. The Jaws PDF RIP rendering
engine is a highly advanced renderer that offers speed and advanced
functionality. Note that the programmer still has the option of using
the GDI+ rendering engine, if desired.
Enhanced text-searching support. There
are more search options, and searching is faster. In addition, the SDK
now allows an external search engine to search the PDF document,
by providing an externally searchable text buffer.
Other new features in Version 3.0 of the Jaws PDF Editor SDK include
enhanced support for transparency, more flexibility when working with
password-protected PDF documents, and enhanced debugging support for
the distillation process (the process of converting a PostScript file
to PDF format).
Attractive OEM-licensing plans for
small and medium-sized businesses
Citation Software offers attractive OEM-licensing plans that are geared
for small and medium-sized businesses. For more information about the
Jaws PDF Editor SDK, telephone Citation Software at 508-436-2543 or
send e-mail to info@CitationSoftware.com.
Developers can validate addresses on the
fly and in batch mode with the "AddressObject" software
AddressObject is a developer's toolkit that can be integrated into
custom applications. It lets you verify data at point of entry or in
batch mode to protect against fraud, waste and excess shipping and
mailing costs by cleaning up the inaccurate, incomplete and
undeliverable addresses in your database or by preventing bad addresses
from being added to your database in the first place.
AddressObject is powered by a CASS Certified address-verification
engine and meets the strictest U.S. Postal Service specifications for
address accuracy and ZIP+4 codes.
You can also use AddressObject to print CASS form 3553.
