Global Graphics, a developer of e-document and printing software, announced the launch of a new enterprise-level free PDF creation software, gDoc Creator. The easy to use software will be available for download by individual office workers and consumers, and will be available under a corporate licensing scheme for enterprises.
Global Graphics, which develops software for a variety of OEMs including Agfa, Quark, Fuji, Xerox, Kodak, HP, is fighting for a place on the corporate desktop alongside Adobe, Google and Microsoft by providing an enterprise-level productivity application that enables:
• Creation of PDF, PDF/a (for long-term archiving of electronic documents) or XPS documents from any Windows application that prints;
• Creation of PDF, PDF/a or XPS from the toolbar in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, complete with bookmarks, hypertext links and more;
• Creation of PDF, PDF/a or XPS from a simple drag and drop user interface;
• Convert PDF to .doc format for re-use in Microsoft Word;
• Viewing of documents in multiple formats and a unique ‘flick view’ to quickly browse documents.
“gDoc Creator is the only enterprise quality PDF software tool that is available for free,” says Gary Fry, CEO, Global Graphics. “Offering so much functionality for free will drive adoption in large enterprises at a time when their budgets are under extreme pressure. It also makes the basic free PDF software tools obsolete and puts real pressure on low-end paid-for PDF software.”
gDoc Creator is part of Global Graphics’ gDoc Fusion package, a desktop application designed to improve productivity, providing users with fast and easy assembly of new documents from a wide range of multiple document formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, XPS, JPG, TIFF and PNG. The product is designed to improve knowledge workers’ productivity by automatically formatting a wide range of file formats, saving hours of manual cut and paste activity.
“gDoc Creator gives immediate value to the corporate desktop. It also allows evaluation use of gDoc Fusion, demonstrating the ease of use and benefits of the full version. When an enterprise realises the productivity benefits of the full version of gDoc Fusion, it’s a very simple process to then upgrade,” says Fry.
Arun Bhardwaj, Director – Indian Operations, Global Graphics said, “We at India Development Centre are indeed very happy to have successfully undertaken the development of gDoc Creator and now plan to be aggressive on the promotion front, where initially we plan to focus more on creating awareness about the product so that more number of individuals can benefit using the free PDF creator.” He added, “The India Centre has been on the forefront of product development ever since it came into being in 2007. We are now planning to increase the scope of activities by starting the technical support service from here. Moreover, we are also intending to appoint Channel Partners in all 4 important regions of India for gDoc Fusion.”
Users who download the free gDoc Creator are able to upgrade to gDoc Fusion for Rs. 3000 until 31 March 2010 (a saving of Rs. 6,250 per licence on the recommended retail price) by entering the GGSFPLJAN10 promotional code at checkout.
