BOSTON, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- LuraTech, Inc., a leading provider of open, ISO-compliant JPEG2000 and PDF/A technology, launched new enterprise content and document management products at the AIIM Conference & Exposition, April 16-19, 2007.

PDF/A (or PDF/Archive), enables organizations to archive documents electronically, with assurance of content preservation over an extended period of time; and guarantees enterprises the ability to retrieve and render these electronic documents despite the future technical landscape.

Last year, LuraTech was first to introduce a PDF/A solution for scanned documents via their LuraDocument PDF Compressor, which compresses color and bi-tonal scanned documents into extremely small files. This year, LuraTech extends the PDF Compressor by adding digital signature capabilities. Now with one software package, organizations can compress, OCR and digitally sign scanned documents while archiving them to the PDF/A standard format.

Additionally, LuraTech is debuting two new products which extend their PDF/A product portfolio: the LuraDocument PDF/A Printer and LuraDocument PDF/A Validator. The LuraDocument PDF/A Printer converts electronic documents, e.g. MS Office files or CAD drawings, into ISO compliant PDF/A files. The PDF/A Validator checks and certifies all PDF files against the PDF/A standard during the archival process.

"We're confident that AIIM attendees will embrace this product line," states Carsten Heiermann, LuraTech's CEO. "The introduction of technologies capable of creating PDF/A's from scanned and born digital documents, provides enterprise and document management customers with everything they need under one roof. They were the missing pieces of our product offering."
