CARLSBAD, CA (August 23, 2001) - Document Sciences Corporation (NASDAQ: DOCX), a global leader in Content Automation solutions for print, Web, and e-mail, announced general availability today of Document Library Services#x2122; (DLS) 6.2. DLS 6.2 is the latest version of its enterprise solution for generating regulated documents such as policies, contracts correspondence and fulfillment.

Used by many leading insurance companies and other organizations with compliant content needs, DLS 6.2 uses Microsoft® Word as an authoring tool and features a central repository hosting a fully-indexed HTML document collection that serves all DLS client applications. With its easy to use Word-interface, integrated versioning and approval, and wizards for defining business logic, DLS moves the creation of compliant content to the document owner, speeding time to market and reducing production costs.

DLS 6.2 adds enhancements and new features to the previous version released last March. DLS eCor#x2122;, the thin client Web application within DLS 6.2 which provides the capability to generate ad hoc correspondence with integrated versioning and approval, now includes fax support and enhanced e-mail capabilities, as well as improved scalability. An expanded Developer's Kit provides complete samples and is modeled after the WROX standard providing a quick-start for user-developed adapters between existing applications such as a CRM systems and DLS's Content Automation capabilities. DLS 6.2 also features improvements in its HTML to CompuSet® conversion including support for PDF hyperlinks and PDF bookmarks. CompuSet® is Document Sciences' hallmark composition engine used throughout the world to compose and print billions of pages each month.
