Description

DesignCraft is an open-source application designed for page layout and publishing, catering to the needs of designers, publishers, and anyone involved in creating multi-page documents. It features an array of tools such as spreads, parent pages, and various types of frames for text and graphics, as well as capabilities for threaded narratives, column arrangements, paragraph and character styles, color palettes, and text wrapping, all aimed at facilitating editorial and print-focused designs. Additionally, the application offers advanced typography functionalities, including paragraph composition, hyphenation, optical margin adjustments, and baseline grid management. Users have the ability to work with a native documented file format, and they can easily import or export IDML files, as well as export images in PNG format. DesignCraft is accessible as a native desktop application compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, and it also provides a WebAssembly version for online use. For those who prefer automation, the application supports command-line workflows, a JSON control channel, and an MCP server for executing scripted or agent-driven document tasks. Notably, DesignCraft is entirely free and operates under either MIT or Apache-2.0 licenses, making it a valuable resource for creatives. As it continues to evolve, users can look forward to new features and enhancements in future updates.

Description

This HP describes PloView, a series of converter and viewer products that display, edit and convert various graphic files (HP GL, HP-GL/2 and HP RTL), as well as the PloView series products. PloView allows you to view the drawings in the HPGL/Vector/image file. PloView offers the same powerful input editing functions as 2D-CAD. This makes it easy to create other drawings and divert design drawings. The standard paper size is used to determine the paper size. The paper orientation is automatically determined as Portrait or Landscape. If the printer doesn't support the paper size or the printer cannot change the paper orientation, don't select it. If the output drawing size exceeds that of the paper size, choose the maximum paper size and adjust the scale automatically so that the drawing size matches the paper size.
