Altsoft presents the new version 3.0 of its .NET based Xml2PDF
formatting engine.

The major new features of the new version include:
- Significant refactoring and optimization which make the new version
about 3-4 times faster and 2-3 times less memory consuming than the
current commercial 2.x release;
- The support for raster graphics and GDI output;
- The support for MathML as an external graphics format;
- The support for SVG as an output format;
- The possibility to embed any supported format into any other;
- Improved formatting of all currently supported formats (XSL-FO, SVG,
WordML, XHTML).

All together Xml2PDF 3.0 supports the following file formats:
- Input XML formats: XSL-FO, SVG, XHTML, WordML, MathML.
- Output formats: PDF,SVG, raster graphics (BMP, EMF,TIFF, GIF, JPEG,
PNG, WMF).

The formatting engine is implemented as pure managed .NET components
and can be easily integrated into any .NET-based solution. It does not
use any third-party applications or COM components.

The Xml2PDF 3.0 Beta version does not require any activation keys, but
produces an Altsoft watermark on each page. Please, note that this
version is not recommended for use on any production computer.

The commercial release of Xml2PDF is scheduled for March 2006.

The following three Xml2PDF editions are included into Xml2PDF 3.0 Beta
release and can be downloaded at

and converts any supported format to a number of output formats
reporting all errors and warnings.

XML format on a screen and provides scaling, navigation and printing
functionality. It can also save open XML documents to any of the
