1 Patform gdoc Core Cross-patform document conversion, optimization and manipuation technoogy

2 gdoc Core gdoc Core technoogy forms part of a new generation of word-cass eectronic document soutions from Goba Graphics. Goba Graphics Software has more than 20 years experience of deaing with document formats and empoys some of the word s eading experts in Page Description Languages such as PDF. The Goba Graphics gdoc brand takes our extensive expertise with print and graphics arts technoogies and appies it to digita creation and consumption of documents. We add new expertise in document structure, muti-media, annotations and other areas not traditionay seen in print workfows. gdoc Core provides software appication deveopers with powerfu Page Description Language (PDL) conversion, optimization, anaysis and manipuation capabiities, shortening deveopment cyces and acceerating time to market. Fusion GDOC PRODUCT PORTFOLIO We provide a portfoio of products that range from fu appications to high eve deveopment patforms.

3 KEY CAPABILITIES Powerfu PDL conversion and optimization: gdoc Core provides conversion and optimization capabiities to and from PDLs incuding PostScript, PDF, PCL and XPS. In addition, it supports open standards such as PDF/A and PDF/X. PDL agnostic architecture: document operations are carried out via the Document Object Mode (DOM). Using this DOM ensures that the majority of the deveopment is independent of the input or output format. Comprehensive page-eve and object-eve document access: gdoc Core offers extensive access to objects, parameters and metadata during the conversion process, incuding text, images, fonts, coor space etc. Page-eve access to documents is aso possibe incuding page orientation and annotations. Thumbnai and high-res preview capabiities: gdoc Core contains Goba Graphics industry eading RIP (Raster Image Processor) technoogy enabing the generation of thumbnais and high resoution images that can be used, for exampe, for previewing. Support for industry standards: Through the abiity to manipuate document content based on a set of predefined rues, gdoc Core is abe to create documents to industry standards such as PDF/X and PDF/A. HIGH PERFORMANCE, COMPATIBILITY AND PDL FIDELITY We provide the toos that aow software partners to engineer competitive differentiation into their soution by achieving superior performance, quaity and PDL fideity. Goba Graphics technoogy is renowned for its high performance and reiabiity. It is buit to ensure both compiance with eading PDL formats and compatibiity with a wide variety of PDL generating appications. It s tested against industry standard Quaity Logic test suites costing many thousands of doars and consisting of ten thousand pus test fies. TIME TO MARKET Using gdoc Core insuates appication deveopers from PDL support worries and heps deiver products on time and on budget. CROSS-PLATFORM Goba Graphics has a ong history of providing cross-patform technoogy and gdoc Core s cross-patform support aows depoyment on a wide variety of operating systems, incuding Windows, Mac OS X and ios. DEVELOPMENT FLEXIBILITY The API provides fu access to the functionaity of gdoc Core and gives partners tota contro over what they want gdoc Core to do for them. IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS The highy customizabe gdoc Core can be utiized when buiding a variety of soutions, incuding: Software appications: provides integrated support for PostScript, PDF, PCL, XPS and other PDL fie formats, offering fie format import, export and output capabiities. Software vendors can provide an extensibe and taiored tooset in their appications. Document printing: provides fast, high-performance conversion from XPS, PostScript and PDF to device-supported formats such as PostScript and PCL for egacy print devices. gdoc Core provides sampe driver-based impementations for rapid prototyping where embedded output device resources are restricted in terms of memory and processor power. A scaabe consumption soution can be used whereby the content is optimized within a print job to improve downstream performance. gdoc Core can be used to either reduce the amount of data that needs to be communicated, or to optimize, position and reference specific assets within a job to ensure the device can consume the print stream in the most efficient manner. Workfow appications: enabes interoperabiity between PDL formats incuding standards such as PDF/X. Formats such as XPS can be converted to PDF where PDF is an integra part of the workfow. Document management soutions: provides interoperabiity between mutipe PDLs incuding XPS and PDF/A. Deivers the abiity to create thumbnais and to view documents at any resoution within appications, as we as comprehensive access to graphica content and metadata. Graphic arts appications: provides key capabiities incuding PDL conversion, providing interoperabiity between PDL formats. It offers support for PDL standards incuding PDF/X as we as comprehensive ow eve access to both page and object eve information. It enabes appications to preserve rich graphic effects such as transparency.

Using this DOM ensures that the majority of the deveopment is independent of the input or output format.

4 GDOC CORE KEY FUNCTIONALITY gdoc Core s extensibe architecture provides a common interna representation for a PDL formats, enabing appication deveopers to easiy add support for internationa standard, proprietary and emerging PDL formats.

Acknowedged experts in technoogy for the interpretation, rendering and conversion of Page Description Languages, our track record is extensive. It incudes native interpretation of PostScript since 1988, PDF since 1993, and aso PCL and XPS. A ong history of providing crosspatform technoogies whether it is for ow resource mobie devices or high end graphics works stations and servers. We have peope who ony speciaize in fonts, images, coor science and PDL standards. Each object on the page can be a science in its sef. Over the ast 20 years the technoogy has matured, deaing with a universe of maformed and broken fies. Correcting these errors where possibe aows the gdoc Core to be part of robust enterprise ready soutions. Microsoft drew upon Goba Graphics experience in print and document technoogy when, in 2003, they chose us to provide consutancy and proof of concept deveopment services for XPS.
