PDF Magic Professional 1.0 Now Shipping!
Orlando, FL - Acro-Works Software (a division of Acro-Works, Inc) is
pleased to announce the official release of their newest software, PDF
Magic. Used for automating the process of creating interactive,
multi-media, PDF files; PDF Magic shatters the mold for PDF automation by
introducing an entirely new approach for creating multi-page, interactive
PDF documents.
Previously, when attempting to save time while building complex,
link-filled PDF files, it has been necessary to buy a plug-in (an add-on
for an already owned application) for either Adobe Acrobat, or for the
layout
application in which a source document (that will become the PDF) is
created. Each approach has its drawbacks. An Acrobat plug-in to add links
or transitions works only post-distillation (i.e. after the source file has
been converted to a PDF). Consequently, all the work needs to be repeated
each time that changes / revisions are made to the source file,...

LapCop: smarter than thieves
Belgium, October 15, 2002 - SweetCocoa is proud to announce LapCop a new
and innovative stealth software application. In case your Mac gets stolen,
LapCop secretly transmits an electronic beacon to an e-mail address of your
choice. This stealth e-mail, containing the internet route to your Mac,

decided to develop LapCop. While most other stealth programs just send you
a daily e-mail containing all information about your laptop status, LapCop
works smarter. It automatically detects...
