Integration enables legal organizations to better manage PD document processes

ANDOVER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2007--Omtool, Ltd. (OTCBB: OMTL) - a leading provider of document capture and routing products and services, together with Adobe Systems Incorporated, today announced the companies will deliver an integration of Adobe Acrobat software with popular Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Document Management systems (DMS) through technology developed by Omtool. The solution will focus on streamlining PDF processes in the legal industry that are driven by Acrobat.

To support the integration, Omtool is delivering product extensions of its Swiftwriter(R) product --part of the company's award-winning AccuRoute(R) document handling platform that captures, converts and distributes files to ECM and DMS systems. These enhancements are targeted primarily for customers in the legal market, where Omtool and Adobe already deliver software to support the management of business-critical documents.

Specifically, Omtool and Adobe will deliver a solution that allows users of Acrobat 6, 7 and 8 to download a plug-in, free-of-charge, from the Omtool Website enabling them to open and save PDF files from and into DMS systems prominent in the legal market -- including Interwoven and OpenText -- using the native document profile, check-in, search and retrieve dialogs of the DMS system. This functionality will be accessed directly from within Acrobat, as well as the free Adobe Reader(R) software. Legal office staff spend a great deal of time managing documents within the DMS environment. This new integration bridges the gap between the DMS and Acrobat, allowing users to interact with the familiar and full-featured interfaces of the DMS via Acrobat. This can help increase employee productivity while reducing errors and lost documents due to filing mistakes.

"With PDF the document format of choice in the legal industry, and Acrobat quickly becoming an essential application for legal professionals, providing our customers strong Acrobat integration with DMS is a necessity," said Kevin M. Lynch, vice president of product management and marketing, Business Productivity Business Unit, Adobe. "Omtool was the obvious choice, given its leadership position in legal DMS integration, and already strong support for PDF. The combination of Acrobat and Swiftwriter will offer our combined legal customers greater efficiencies as they manage key document-based processes."

As a member of the AccuRoute product family, Omtool Swiftwriter is a PDF conversion tool that enables electronic integration with document and records management systems for streamlined document workflows. Swiftwriter has been re-designed to enhance productivity with one-click efficiency and eliminate the multiple and often tedious steps that were previously required to save a PDF document to a DMS.

"The partnership between Omtool and Adobe will give legal professionals an application that addresses their specific workflow challenges and increases productivity through the tight integration of Acrobat with users' document management systems," said Thaddeus Bouchard, CTO, Omtool. "A natural complement to Acrobat with Swiftwriter is the full AccuRoute document capture and handling platform from Omtool which extends these services and delivers comprehensive document handling, enterprise-wide."

The Omtool plug-in for Acrobat is expected to be available for download from the Omtool Website by the end of the current calendar year.
