About

DesignCraft is an open-source page-layout and publishing application for designers, publishers, and other users creating multi-page documents. It provides spreads and parent pages, text and graphic frames, threaded stories, columns, paragraph and character styles, color swatches, and text wrapping for arranging editorial and print-oriented layouts. Typography tools include paragraph composition, hyphenation, optical margin alignment, and baseline grids. Users can work with a documented native file format, import and export IDML, and export PNG images. The application is available as a native desktop program for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a WebAssembly build for browser use. Command-line workflows, a JSON control channel, and an MCP server support scripted or agent-driven document operations. DesignCraft is free and open source under MIT or Apache-2.0 licensing. The product is in development.

About

Using an XML grammar incorporating features of XHTML, CSS, and SVG, PDF Constructor creates single or multiple-page PDF documents using existing or dynamically-created raster, vector, and text content. Build PDFs with content that is ready to go to print. Use CMYK and spot colors. Specify the bleed and trim. Use Type 1, TrueType, or OpenType fonts, always embedded and optionally subset. Produce web or screen-ready documents with bookmarks, hyperlinks, actions, and JavaScript. You can even build complete Acrobat Forms dynamically. Include JPEG and TIFF images in any colorspace and resolution. Apply your choice of transformations to ensure the image fits correctly into your layout. Include SVG drawings directly or by reference. Specify individual pages or entire PDF documents as new content or as a template on which to add new elements. Paragraph and character styles based on CSS2 can be specified for flowable content.
