Global Graphics Adopts Disruptive Pricing Strategy for gDoc Creator to Provide Alternative to Adobe Acrobat for Knowledge-Worker Companies
CAMBRIDGE, England, December 1 - GLOBAL GRAPHICS (NYSE-Euronext: GLOG): Global Graphics, a developer of
edocument and printing software, today announces the launch of the most
comprehensive enterprise-level free PDF creation software; gDoc Creator -
www.globalgraphics.com/gdoc
The easy to use free PDF software will be available for download by
individual office workers and consumers, and be available under a corporate
licensing scheme for the enterprise.
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' freemium go-to-market strategy
for gDoc Fusion an easy to use desktop application designed to improve
productivity. gDoc Fusion gives users fast and easy assembly of new documents
with a simple drag 'n' drop action 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 significantly 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.
"Businesses should no longer need to pay for simple PDF creation and we
hope our disruptive pricing strategy will begin to redraw the lines of this
market," adds Fry. "Global Graphics is set to win a significant share of
knowledge workers who find themselves having to compile information from a
range of sources and formats, and our corporate licensing scheme will make it
simple for companies to roll this out across the enterprise."
