Yoav Ezer, CEO of Cogniview explains, "We want to get the public involved in this project and create a community around it. To kick things off, we are giving an incentive to people who use and test our new Excel to PDF Converter. We'll give a total of 10 Amazon.com gift cards to the 10 most helpful testers. Our goal is to elevate our reputation as a premier software company to that of a company that gives back."

While there are other free Excel to PDF products on the market, none have the advanced ability of Cogniview's Excel to PDF Converter to preserve hyperlinks during conversion. Most deliver links that are underlined, but not clickable. Excel to PDF Converter, however, retains internal and external hyperlinks from one format to the next.

Working in reverse of their current products which convert PDF to Excel files, Excel to PDF Converter transforms any printable or electronic content to an Adobe PDF file. In addition, the software can optionally embed a Creative Commons license into the PDF.

Azur, Tel-Aviv Israel - June 21, 2005 - Cogniview Ltd, a technology leader in business data conversion announced today the release of Eudi (End User Data Integration) an innovative software product to help provide information workers easy access and retrieval to the data they need from the enterprise application to their desktop environment.

Eudi bridges a critical gap in the information needs of professionals in organizations. If users can print the data, they can extract the data!

Eudi is a fully-functional software Windows-based program for desktop users. From their desktop users can print the data they see on the screen by selecting the Eudi virtual printer from the printer-list. The data is then captured by Cogniview's Eudi and converted instantly to desktop analysis software.

Eudi can expediently extract any data available through the use of the virtual printer and export that data to popular programs including MS Excel, MS Word and the clipboard.

"Too often companies are stricken by the tremendous gap between the data needs and the data supply, even at the most sophisticated organizations. The data resides in the organization databases, reports or application screens, but is inaccessible to the users," said Yinon Feldheim, CEO of Israel-based Cogniview.

"Until now, the common solution was the deployment of data conversion projects. And often those projects just address a fraction of the problem and come with a prohibitive price tag for long-term usage, " noted Feldheim.

Cogniview came out with it's innovative, patent pending, product after interviewing hundreds of users from a vast array of industries - finance, manufacturing, retail, services, government and defense. Having a very large install base for Cogniview current products, used by organizations of all sizes and industries, was a key to the design of the new product.

"We have learned invaluable lessons from our customers. I am very proud that we are able to launch today an innovative product that can extract business data from thousands of applications, and still be operated by an end-user that can get results within 5 minutes from the introduction to the product. If they can print the data, they can extract it!" said Feldheim.

In the future the company plans to add support for CSV (comma separated values files) so the exported data can be easily converted to database applications such as MS Access and others.

Cogniview is introducing the new Cogniview Data Integrator in English, and is planning to introduce it in other major languages later this year, 2006.
