Rasterex releases RxView & RxHighlight R13

Rasterex Software, a global leader within document viewing and collaboration, today released version R13.0 of their popular desktop viewers for Windows.

Version R13 is a true 64-bit version. The whole viewing engine and all the file format readers are now ported into 64-bit.

"As more and more companies want to work in a true 64-bit environment, there is an increasing demand for their universal viewer to be a 64-bit application" says Per Christian Lindstad, the CEO of Rasterex Software as. This demand could not be met until a majority of the underlying file formats were available in 64-bit versions. Now, at the end of the autumn 2011, there are only 3-4 of the several hundred file formats that are still not ported into 64-bit. So the time has come to provide our new and existing customer with a 64-bit version of the viewer.

The version is also a major update, providing new feature and enhancements to the software, as well as over 60 general bug fixes.

RxView allows users to view & print more than 250 different file formats - without the design software installed on the machine. CAD drawings, 3D CAD models, plot-files, PDFs, Office documents, raster images and scanned drawings.

RxHighlight is the same software installation as RxView, but through the license file, it opens up for advanced functions like redlining, markup, conversion, batch processes and text search & extraction, for collaboration between team members.
