Spicer Announces  ViewCafe v3.1

Robust Far East text and markup support among many enhancements to ViewCafe's powerful universal viewing capabilities

KITCHENER, ON. - Dec. 9, 2002 - Spicer Corporation, a leading developer of Java-2 powered universal viewing and markup software, today announced the release of ViewCafe 3.1, featuring significant enhancements to Far East font display and markup features.

"Businesses around the world continue to embrace ViewCafe as the viewer of choice for sharing documents on the Web with employees and globally dispersed business partners," said Shamir Somani, Product Marketing Manager at Spicer. "This latest release continues to incorporate our partners' feedback into ViewCafe and also addresses the growing need for a robust collaboration tool in the Asian marketplace. Features such as improved font support and the ability to mark up documents with Far East fonts, combined with ViewCafe's 11-language user interface, make it a formidable tool for organizations to cross international barriers for document distribution and collaborative review."

New features in ViewCafe 3.1 include:

* Far East Font and Markup Support - Enhanced Far East font support provides precise font resolution in documents. Markups such as text, annotations, and hotlinks can be added in Far East fonts. File names can also contain Far East characters.

* Advanced Layer Window - The Layers window now displays the entire document structure rather than just the CAD layers. All layers (base layers, legacy markups and CAD layers) can now be revealed or hidden.

* Flashing Highlight - Text search results can be set to flash on found strings.

* Symbol Enhancements - ViewCafe symbols can now contain integrator-defined, server-controlled dynamic text such as user name or date. The integrator can place any string into the text markup.

* File Format Support - ViewCafe adds enhancements to HPGL/2 and office documents such as PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

* Server-side Thumbnail Caching - Thumbnails are now stored on the server to improve subsequent display times.

* Status Message in Applet - Status bar messages, which previously appeared as part of the browser window, now appear inside the ViewCafe applet or application providing the user with a convenient and more prominent method for receiving status updates.

ViewCafe's universal document viewing and markup capabilities can significantly streamline an organization's business processes, resulting in faster and more effective product design, more efficient supply chain procurement, reduced document management costs, and accelerated manufacturing.

ViewCafe is interoperable with other Spicer Enterprise Viewing Solutions, and can display markups created in Spicer Imagenation and Image aoX. This interoperability gives IS managers the flexibility to deploy a combination of Spicer viewing products that best meets the specific needs of each user while carefully considering such critical issues as functionality, budgets, and security.
