Autodesk, Inc. (San Rafael, CA) will collaborate with Microsoft Corp. (Redmond, WA) to integrate DWF technology with Windows Vista using the XML Paper Specification (XPS).
According to Autodesk, this initiative will provide users with the ability to view and manage DWF design information without plug-ins or special viewing software. DWF files published to the XPS specification can be automatically opened and viewed directly in Windows Vista using the XPS Viewer.
In addition to automatic DWF file viewing, the Windows Vista desktop search function will aid users in finding design files with Live Icons (thumbnail images of files retrieved) and Preview Pane features. For example, a product designer can search for files based on specifications, designs, or any piece of related data such as an address or supplier's name.
