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

Generate PDF on the fly, from scratch, use code, XML/XSL, or a combination. Central to TallPDF.NET is a consistent and intuitive object model consisting of layout classes like document, section, text paragraph, table, header, footer, etc. Among the specializations of class paragraph is drawing. Use it to draw many types of shapes such as lines, bezier curves, and even barcodes. Use pens and brushes to draw outlines and fills. Instead of building a Document programmatically, you can load it (partly) from XML. In general, you will use XSL to transform from a given XML schema to XML that can be consumed by TallPDF.NET. Headers and footers are added to each page that matches the specified page traits (first, odd, even, last). Include dynamic content such as current page number and total page count. Add Tables to a section. Add rows to a table. Add cells to a row and add any paragraph to a cell. Specify spacings, margins, borders, and backgrounds.
