Padded - PAD file editor for software authors
The best little PAD file editor on the net

What is Padded?

Padded is a feature-filled but user-friendly PAD file editor. It helps you build publicity and increase downloads of your software, by creating PAD files software distribution sites can load into their product databases.

The PAD specification is an initiative of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).

Padded's main features:

• Software descriptions for all PAD spec languages. Unicode and UTF-8 supported.
• 18 PAD extensions: Affiliates, Article, ASP, Delphi, ESC, MSN, Newsfeed, OISV, Online Shops, PAD Ring, PADmap, Press Release, RoboSoft, RSS Feed, Runtime, Simtel, TPA and ZDNet.
• Import/export using PADGen Company Info (CML), PADGen Program Info (PML) files and PAD file components.
• Templates to automatically handle CML/PML/PAD file component imports when starting a new file.
• Tooltip help for each field and content length conformance in text fields.

Features also included:

• Digital signing of your PAD files, via integration with third party tools.
• PAD file transfer: send your PAD file over FTP or HTTP/S, to and from your web site.
• Available for Windows, Mac OS X and X11, with platform appropriate user interfaces for each.

Note1: Padded also runs on a wide range of other operating systems (including FreeBSD, PC-BSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, Linux and BeOS) using Wine. It runs well in Wine and needs only the base install. Note2: While Padded (generally) works on ReactOS, ReactOS is itself in alpha-level development and not considered stable. Note3: Linux users: Where LibSSL is not available or found, Padded will disable the features that depend on it.
