LizardTech Drops out of AIIM Show,
Apparently A report by PlanetDjVu, March 23,
2003 UPDATE -
March 31, 2003 - LizardTech made this announcement today: Visit us and see Lizardtech Document Express 4.0
demonstration with Computhink’s latest ViewWise IDM / Image Enabling
Solutions at booth #1028 ***** The AIIM
2003 Exposition and Conference, billed as the largest document imaging
show in the U.S. this year, will take place on April 7 - 9 in New York
City. For details, see http://www.aiim2003.com/. LizardTech
is listed
as a participating vendor of the Exposition, located at booth
1030. Here we thought we could finally get a personal look at the latest
"Document Express" software. Suprisingly, the AIIM show event is not mentioned on the LizardTech
website, and this causes us to take a look at the latest
floor map for the AIIM Exposition. LizardTech is gone! Booth
1030 is gone and the space is now merged into Booth 1028. Oh well,
guess the latest "Document Express" software will remain mysterious to us,
as mysterious as the behavior and activities of this company that owns the
DjVu format. DjVu
software was first presented to the public at the AIIM
Exposition in 1999, by AT&T Labs. At the AIIM Exposition in
2000, the DjVu format was presented by the new format owner,
LizardTech. At the
AIIM Exposition in 2001, every attendee had the following promotional
insert in the sleeve that displayed their identity and admissions
badge:  Note: of course we were irked even back then by the
claim "typically 100 times smaller than PDF". See our recent news article:

Distorted PDF - DjVu Comparison".
