Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC) announced the latest release of its Brava!® product line, Brava Desktop 2.0.

Brava Desktop is a simple, cost-effective viewer that runs on the Windows desktop or in Internet Explorer. It can view, print, markup and redact PDF, TIFF, Microsoft XPS and Office, CAD drawings and more. It can also publish files to PDF, TIFF, DWF or secure CSF.

Secure CSF files are compressed, encrypted renditions of the native file that cannot be modified. Visual Rights® are an integral part of the CSF format and control whether the file can be printed, copied or measured and allow users to set an expiration date for the rendition.

This release offers a number of new and enhanced features, including:

•  Publish page ranges - Specify a range(s) of pages to publish to PDF, TIFF, DWF

•  Dynamic stamps - Create custom stamps that include metadata (e.g., user name or current date) from a content management system

•  Redaction enhancements - Use wildcard values to better search for sensitive content (like social security numbers)

•  Measurement enhancements - Perform area and perimeter measurements

•  AutoCAD 2008 support

•  XPS support - View, redact and markup Microsoft XPS files

•  User interface enhancements

Brava Desktop is available in several configurations starting at $49/seat. SDK licensing is available for system Integrators and OEM and redistribution partners.
