FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / September 17, 2009

WEBAPPZ releases PDFkit 5.4.3.

After several years since the first release of WEBAPPZ's PDFkit, =20
WEBAPPZ is making the product available at no charge. WEBAPPZ has =20
decided to modernize its revenue model regarding its PDF generation =20
product. Instead of charging up-front fees for its PDFkit product, the =20=

product will be available for free, and WEBAPPZ will only charge for =20
optional support and training related to the product.

PDFkit is an easy to use, powerful software tool that generates web =20
browser embedded PDF files, including table-based PDF reports. The =20
ability to add images to any of the pages and to add multiple tables =20
consecutively are just some of the features. The tables use a cell-=20
based architecture enabling many color, font, and image combinations =20
to meet different user requirements. WEBAPPZ uses it internally to =20
generate schedules, calendars, timesheets, invoices, accounting system =20=

reports, and student report cards. Really it can be used for any time =20=

of PDF documents, as it allows a developer to write many layers on top =20=

of it.

For version 5.4.3, we have moved away from the standard Mac OS X =20
installer, and instead, provide the framework in a generic compressed =20=

format, so that it can be installed on any operating system. Version =20
5.4.3 offers several stability, compatibility, and performance =20
enhancements over the previous version 5.4.0.
