LineType Software, Inc. Updates PDF-Based Digital Signature Tool for AEC Professionals

Banjo Plug-in now offers compatibility with Version 8 of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader

Nashville, TN -- January 8, 2007 -- LineType Software, Inc., a developer of electronic document tools for design professionals, today announced the release of an updated version of the Banjo Digital Signature plug-in for Adobe Acrobat.  The new release provides full compatibility with versions 5.0 through 8.0 of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader.

The Banjo plug-in offers unique formatting and security capabilities that allow users to customize the graphic appearance associated with a digital signature to comply with licensing board standards for signing and sealing construction drawings and specifications.  Any alteration to a signed document will cause the signature to be immediately and visibly invalidated.

"Architects and engineers across the country have come to rely on the Banjo plug-in as a way to simply and securely apply digital seals and signatures to their documents," says John TeSelle, AIA, president of LineType Software, Inc.  "We are pleased to extend support to version 8.0 of Acrobat, and we look forward to working with our clients to improve their productivity with this new release."

The Banjo plug-in builds on the strengths of the Portable Document Format (PDF) developed by Adobe Systems, Inc.  In addition to being universally accepted and understood as an electronic document format, PDF is an excellent solution for architectural and engineering documents.  A PDF preserves fonts, line weights, and drawing scale and can be printed by any reprographer or copy shop anywhere in the world.

The upgrade is free to registered users of the plug-in.  For more information about new licenses, visit the LineType Software website at www.linetype.com
