Pageflex, a division of Bitstream Inc. (NASDAQ: BITS, www.bitstream.com) and a leading developer of enterprise variable data publishing and web-to-print solutions, announced today its focus on strategic partnerships at Graph Expo 2007, being held October 26 – 29, McCormick Place South, Chicago, Illinois.

The in-booth collaboration between Pageflex and its industry partners at Graph Expo will enable attendees to experience first-hand the benefits resulting from these collaborations. From enhancing the impact of direct mail to automating production workflows, the compatibility between partner applications increases marketing impact, streamlines production processes, removes manual elements, and facilitates business growth for customers.
Partner companies scheduled to conduct demonstrations in the Pageflex booth include:
* Avantis Graphic Arts Management System from Avanti Systems provides a complete, streamlined workflow from online document customization and ordering in Pageflex Storefront through the print production environment for printing, finishing and shipment.
* DirectSmile combines image personalization with Pageflex products to add emotions for the web, print, as well as other associated technologies in the personalized imaging space.

In addition to the four partners in the Pageflex booth, Pageflex will be highlighting their variable data publishing technology in four major partner booths: Canon, HP and Xerox, and Xeikon.
