Direct PDF Export in ArtWorks 2.5
=================================
I am proud to announce one more big step ahead for the platform's
most popular advanced vector graphics solution: ArtWorks 2.5, to be
released before the end of 2005, will offer direct PDF export. PDF is
the industry-standard file format for the exchange of high-quality
documents for on-screen viewing and professional printing.

The usual way to create PDF documents under RISC OS is to create a
PostScript file using the RISC OS PostScript printer driver and use
third-party software to convert that file to PDF. Unfortunately, this
approach suffers from various shortcomings in the PostScript format
and in the RISC OS PostScript printer driver, which often leads to
loss of quality.

ArtWorks 2.5 will overcome these problems by offering Direct PDF
Export allowing you to export print-ready PDF files supporting all
ArtWorks 2 features without involving any intermediate file format.
Finally, you can submit fully vector-based documents with full CMYK
information for printing, even for files that use advanced features
like dynamic clipping, different types of transparency and graduated
transparency effects.

You can find more information and an example screenshot of a complex
ArtWorks illustration with transparency being rendered on a foreign
platform at:

The projected upgrade price from ArtWorks 2.4 to version 2.5 will be
30 Pounds (subject to change). Final pricing information and other
upgrade options will be announced with the release of ArtWorks 2.5.

ArtWorks 2.4 Crazy Summer Sale continues
========================================
Do not miss the best opportunity to get your hands on a copy of
ArtWorks 2 now. The ArtWorks 2.4 Crazy Summer Sale continues until
the end of this month. When buying a full copy of ArtWorks 2.4 now,
you save 30 Pounds (compared to the RRP) - exactly the cost of the
future ArtWorks 2.5 upgrade. When upgrading from ArtWorks 1.7, you
still save 19 Pounds compared to the RRP. And in both cases, you get
a free printed 90 page ArtWorks 2.4 upgrade manual thrown in, too.
