Press Release Summary = BFO have improved text extraction and PDF rendering for the
Big Faceless PDF Library

Press Release Body = London, England, 19 October 2006, - Big Faceless Organization
(BFO), provider of high quality Java software components, have enhanced the smartest
Java class library on the market. Version 2.7.3 of the Big Faceless PDF Library
includes heavily reworked font handling, providing enhanced performance to text
extraction and PDF rendering in those slightly out of the ordinary documents.

CTO Mike Bremford, says "Font encodings have been completely reworked. Documents
without embedded fonts, and those documents where the embedded fonts are
non-standard, will all render accurately with this release."

Other font-related changes will benefit users in China, Japan and Korea, where the
improved support for non-Unicode encodings UCS2 or UTF16 will make legacy documents
a little easier to deal with.

The upgrade will also benefit users in Eastern Europe - where improvements to the
standard font classes mean it's now possible to display Polish, Czech, Romanian,
Hungarian and other ISO-8859-2 languages without embedding a font, resulting in
smaller PDFs.
