It is the latest member of Appligent's Appending and Publishing family and is its first product to support PDF creation from Postscript workflows and the conversion of customised PDF back to Postscript.
Jaws PDF Library, Global Graphics' software development kit, makes this possible.
It enables developers, original equipment manufacturers and systems integrators to embed seamless PDF generation within their own desktop and server-based applications.

New Version of PDF Creator Is Now Shipping
The latest version of Global Graphics' easy-to-use business tool for creating high-quality and robust PDF files from virtually any application, is available from 24 October 2005.
The document generation application can be used to build compound documents from smaller components or split larger volumes into more manageable subsets; and to add new pages and customize content applied via Appligent's stamping engine, a server-based application that stamps custom text and images onto a single or multiple PDF documents.
New tables of contents can be generated from bookmarks and digital signatures can be applied to assure the authenticity of the new document.
Global Graphics technology generates quality PDF that conforms to the PDF specification.
"Our customers have been asking for a solution for creating high quality PDF.
Creating well-formed PDF is an enormous advantage for those customers with complex workflows because it streamlines processing downstream," said Mark Gavin, chief technology officer at Appligent.
"By licensing Global Graphics we give our developers access to proven libraries that compliment our existing tools and maintain the highest quality in the PDF we produce.
Quality PDF is well formed and in compliance with the rules of syntax set out in the PDF reference manual", stated Gavin.
"It must contain all elements defined in the reference and all elements, required or optional, must be represented as defined in the reference.
Unfortunately PDF viewers can be quite forgiving of a poorly constructed file, but placing the file in a publishing workflow may result in processing problems for other applications downstream.
Correcting these problems is a time consuming and disruptive process in production environments that can be avoided by producing quality PDF in the first place.
By using Jaws PDF Library we have added robust and reliable PDF creation technology to our Appending and Publishing family without major effort," Gavin added.
