D-Type PowerDoc Editor is a versatile cross-platform application designed with a simple goal in mind — to help software developers build PowerDoc documents for their applications. As such, PowerDoc Editor allows developers to:
View, inspect and change the properties of existing PowerDoc objects.
Learn about the structure and organization of PowerDoc documents.
Create most types of PowerDoc objects without programming (coding).
Save PowerDoc documents in native PowerDoc format.
Export PowerDoc documents to C, C++, C#, INTEGRAL DSL, VB, VB Script, JScript/JavaScript, ASP or ASP.NET, enabling further manipulation of their structure and content through code.
Print and export PowerDoc documents to PDF, SVG or EPS.
Render PowerDoc pages as bitmap images in PNG, JPEG, GIF or raw 24-bpp bitmap format.
D-Type PowerDoc Editor is provided at no cost when you purchase a license for one of the following D-Type libraries:
A nice thing about PowerDoc Editor is that PowerDoc objects do not have to be created from scratch. All frequently used objects are predefined and stored in the object template library. Once a predefined object is placed on the page, its properties can be further modified using the Object Builder tool. This approach makes the object template library an excellent starting point for constructing complex PowerDoc pages and documents.

PowerDoc objects can be easily moved (on the page or from one page to another), duplicated and multiplied (as either real or virtual copies), transformed (using an affine or perspective transform matrix), masked (using the alpha-channel of another page), grouped (with other objects on the page), or aligned (relative to other objects on the page). In brief, PowerDoc Editor provides developers with excellent control, flexibility and freedom for positioning, moving and manipulating objects on the page.
PowerDoc Editor also assists developers with text. Linked text fragments in rich text areas are typically the most complex objects to build, yet they are frequently used in all types of documents. Fortunately, PowerDoc Editor simplifies the process of building and formatting rich text areas by providing a powerful text formatting tool. This tool allows developers to apply fonts, styles, layout, direction, shaping and may other text attributes to arbitrary selections of text. The formatting process closely resembles using a standard word processor to edit and format text.

PowerDoc Editor is available for Windows, Linux and macOS. Its user interface is rendered by D-Type PowerDoc Engine, while its entire source code is portable to a wide range of platforms and devices.
