Save training and software costs by eliminating the need to have native, potentially complicated software on every desktop.

Spend less time waiting for files to open and views to refresh than with comparable viewers. Brava has smoother view transitions, too.

Jump right to the page you need without navigating the entire document/drawing set.

Original files are never modified; annotations are saved as a separate, overlaid XML file.

Each reviewer can create a separately managed annotation file, supporting permission roles and allowing multiple users to comment on the same file at the same time.

Annotations can be burned into a PDF or secure CSF "copy" of the original file, making it easier to email files with notes to suppliers or customers.

Select annotation/markup files from multiple reviewers to combine into a single file.

Full range of print options and settings, including print current view, page range, print to scale and more.

Add a watermark or print banners to one or all print outs. Use pre-set wildcards for username, date and more (useful for ISO9000, JCAHO or other compliances). Or intelligently insert metadata from your enterprise content management system as part of your business process.

Vector (CAD) files are not converted to pixels (rasterized) and coordinates are not converted from real numbers (floating point) to integers.

When measuring, Brava offers a magnified view of the sensed point of interest, allowing the user to select measurement points with higher accuracy, even when working on large drawings and long distances.

Visually compare two files/pages/sheets. This is useful for comparing document revisions and faxed versus signed contracts. View with annotations for easy change verifications, ensuring no change was left unincorporated.

Visually highlight differences: additions in green, deletions in red and common in gray.

Block text or an image area before distributing a PDF, TIFF or secure CSF. Blocked text cannot be retrieved in any way.

Redact all occurrences or a word or phrase. Or create a list of search strings to redact in one step.

Save the file you are viewing as a rich content PDF, TIFF, DWF or secure CSF. Add annotations, redaction (block out ) areas, a watermark and print banners. Add security, like feature restrictions with CSF for more secure distribution and view with the free Brava Reader (opens PDF, TIFF and CSF).

Because PDF is an open format, there are many third party products that can translate, convert and edit PDF files. CSF is not an open format because it is intended for secure document sharing over a finite period of time (it is not a long-term archival format). CSF's are compressed, encrypted and text searchable, and support layers, attributes and more. CSF files contain Visual Rights settings (see Content Security), which provide granular control over what a user can do with the file.

Remove toolbars and menu options for a simpler interface or customize dialog boxes.

Add custom processing on file open, file exit, markup save, markup open or other events.

Published API for either Java1 or ActiveX client.

We have out-of-the-box integrations to EMC Documentum, Open Text, Microsoft SharePoint/Infopath, Interwoven, Meridian Project Systems, Primavera and more.

Standalone licensing for a single desktop and concurrent network licensing (ideal for small department deployments).
