TAUNTON, MA (February 2005) -- Quadrant Software, the leading developer of Electronic Document Distribution (EDD) solutions for creating, managing, and delivering inbound / outbound business documents from the iSeries enterprise, announces the release of Formtastic 5.3.0 on 01/28/05 along with enhancements to its spool file pre-processor, Formatter.

Formtastic Fusion5 lets customers design and populate electronic documents with ease while eliminating costly pre-printed forms by printing to inexpensive laser printers or delivering documents automatically by email or fax. Formtastic also re-formats and enhances iSeries 400 spool files by adding conditional data, logos, graphics, bar codes and other document elements with pixel-by-pixel WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) accuracy. When combined with Formatter, users cut document page counts by 50 - 75% while increasing readability and further reducing material costs related to postage and printing.

"This latest release of Formatter and Formtastic further streamlines EDD solutions and includes significant improvements to our DesignerPRO document design tool," says Gary Langton, Quadrant Software Founder & President. "Formtastic 5.3.0 makes it easier to use all of our solutions together while simultaneously maintaining their modular nature."

Enhancements in Formtastic Fusion5 V5.3.0 and Formatter include:

Formatter & Formtastic Checks Upgrades
Formtastic 5.3.0 includes new features that further streamlines Formtastic Checks and improves the integration between Formtastic and Formatter. These enhancements focus on increasing automation, archiving, and customization functionality across all of these products. In addition, Formtastic Checks can now save and file MICR checks in TIF and PDF format.

DesignerPRO Improvements
The DesignerPro document design tool has been enhanced with new print flexibility features to make it even easier for users to customize sending Formtastic documents to laser printers and automatically storing & indexing documents in archiving / imaging systems.

Security Code Modification
To drastically simplify administration, Quadrant Software has implemented a 'single security code' feature that allows all of our products to be licensed using a single security code rather than different codes for each solution, thus making it easier for customers to manage multiple installations. This single code would apply to future purchases as well as currently owned products.

Combined into a single, integrated solution, Formtastic Fusion5 and Formatter offers iSeries 400 customers the power to create and deliver professional documents to inexpensive in-house printers or to fax and email recipients using Quadrant Software’s award-winning FastFax servers. As a result, customers avoid the costly hassle of reprogramming applications, maintaining impact printers, and ordering inflexible pre-printed forms.
