Press Release Summary = BFO release version 2.7.9 of their Java PDF Library with
improved JBIG2 encoding

Press Release Body = London, England, 17 April 2007, - Big Faceless Organization
(BFO), has released a new version of their market leading Java PDF Library. Version
2.7.9 is primarily a bugfix release and includes improvements to FDF, XFDF and XFA
handling as well as JBIG2 encoding.

The new release includes support for JBIG2 compression via an external encoder,
complementing the JBIG2 decompression support added in the last release. This can
drastically reduce the size of PDFs containing 1-bit images.

CTO Mike Bremford says, "Documents compressed with JBIG2 will now be considerably
smaller than those using regular CCITT encoding. Our tests indicate reduction should
be in the region of 50%".

BFO's customers in the legal profession and industries with major requirements for
high volume document management will benefit greatly from these modifications.
Downloading, sending and storing large documents electronically will no longer be
hampered by file size.
