August 31, 1999, San Francisco. Virginia Systems announces the immediate
availability of Sonar Bookends® Activate, a new plug-in forAdobe Acrobat®
version 4. Sonar Bookends Activate, used in conjunction with the Sonar Bookends
automatic index generator, makes indexing electronic documents a snap. The plug-in
automatically takes each page number in the index and links it to the correct
corresponding page in the PDF document. While viewing the index, the reader can go
to a page by clicking on a page number instead of manually paging back.

"Our customers wanted to activate the page numbers in an index of a PDF document
without having to spend hours of labor doing it manually," said Philip Van Cleave,
President of Virginia Systems.

Pricing for Sonar Bookends Activate is $195.

retrieval and index generation software.
