Live demonstrations in Washington DC

We’ll be in Washington DC next week, attending the Professional and Scholarly Publishers annual trade show and meeting with local D.C Publishers.

So come find me in the hallways, or I'll come to you in D.C. Better still, contact me (anne.orens@tizra.com) and bring a PDF with you to the meeting. I can provide an interactive showing of how Agile PDF manages your PDF and delivers online content.

We were especially excited because this year we were on the program to give a Lightning Demo of Agile PDF, including the first showing of a new control p...
