Watertown , MA (June 2, 2005) – Snowbound Software, a leading provider of performance-driven imaging solutions, today released RasterMaster 9.0 for the Java Platform. RasterMaster for Java is the premier imaging SDK and Library for web and document imaging. Notable enhancements include support for important document formats including PCL and RTF that provide developers new business opportunities when creating cross-platform applications.

Expanding on the extensive list of current file formats already available, the new support for RTF and PCL allows developers to build web-enabled applications that will make these document formats accessible to users regardless of their computing platform. RasterMaster for Java is written entirely in Java to provide true cross-platform compatibility.

"As companies rely more on the Internet as a core business asset and a central method to convey information, the ability to provide cross-platform document and image viewing is becoming a necessity. Our aim in adding support for Microsoft formats to our Java Library is to provide our customers with the tools they need to create robust, flexible applications that can meet the challenge of fulfilling these requirements across the enterprise,” commented Simon Wieczner, CEO of Snowbound Software.

Additional version 9.0 enhancements include support for HP-GL/2 plotter files, embedded TIFF images in IOCA files, additional font support for MO:DCA, and display support for True Type and Type 1 fonts within PDF documents.
