Press Release Summary: soft Xpansion presents on the Games Convention 2008 the
Perfect Print 2 Professional: new version of software for optimal printing results


Press Release Body: (Bochum, August 14, 2008)

With Perfect Print 2 Professional soft Xpansion presents on the Games Convention
2008 in Leipzig (August 20-24, hall 2, stand E04) the new generation of software for
the high-quality creation and comfortable management of printing output. The program
simplifies the everyday work with all contents, which should be professionally
printed on paper (texts, images, tables or graphics). So, for example, complete
reports, booklets or commercial papers can be created according to the specific
settings – without possible restrictions of printing abilities by the original
application.

Perfect Print 2 Professional uses for this purpose a virtual printer, based on the
„Print to Document“ technology, which was likewise developed by soft
Xpansion. With this technology the printer jobs, processed by a software
application, can be managed even more individually than the printer driver can
allow. At that the printer jobs will not be displayed on paper, but they will be
redirected to the virtual printer to be available there for further processing by
Perfect Print 2 Professional.

An important new function of Perfect Print 2 Professional is the possibility to work
not only with printer jobs, but also with PDF files. The software opens PDF files
and allows to extract some pages from PDF documents and save pages from the
available printer jobs or from other PDF files in a new PDF file. Besides,
additional contents as for example headers or footers, pagination, logos,
watermarks, texts or cliparts can be added. The program supports 500 papers and
formats of different manufacturers, from Avery Zweckform to Viking Direkt.

The target group of Perfect Print 2 Professional is everybody, who would like to
print their data in a desired form, which is not supported by other usual
applications or printer drivers.
