Octotools is multi-function software that does GUI based forms design with automated e-distribution,
PCL/PostScript printer output, PDF conversion, and email in an integrated low-cost package

Along with legacy output support, OctoTools(tm) is aimed specifically at automating:
forms design, electronic distribution, report bursting (drill down), legacy enhancement,
and output document management.

Coupling a front-end Graphical Users Interface (GUI) with an easy-to-use forms designer,
as well as a powerful PDF and print runtime engine, this new software will allow users
to complete the following functions:

* Eliminate pre-printed and multi-part forms
* Automate batch processing and distribution of forms and reports
* Reduce printing costs, paper supplies, and associated overhead
* Make data universally available electronically through Adobe-supported PDF files
* Use a single template for both printing and PDF conversion to ensure an exact match
* Seamlessly integrate emailing, Web posting, and archiving with report data
* Addition of barcodes

Windows print drivers are used to print to any PostScript(tm), PCL printers, low cost
digital copiers and production-class printers including Xerox Docutech(tm) and
Docuprint(tm).

Any data field or position within a text report can be
interactively defined as variables for automatic report bursting, Web access,
file/directory path names, email addressing, and command line switch settings.

OctoTools can receive, report, and text output from simultaneous remote sources by
utilizing RPM Remote Print Manager(r) from Brooks Internet Software. OctoTools with RPM
provides a universal gateway to receive input from just about any computer platform or
environment. The Windows centric architecture eliminates the requirement for intrusive
and expensive software on host systems and offloads compute-intensive processing.
