D-Type PowerDoc is a high-performance cross-platform rendering engine for professional high-quality resolution independent 2D presentations consisting of text and/or bitmap and vector based graphics. This powerful engine is suitable for all types of applications that create, manipulate, display and store information. While D-Type PowerDoc relies on D-Type Font Engine and D-Type Rasterizer to render text and shapes, this engine has several distinct features:

• D-Type PowerDoc's primary goal is to render entire pages and documents. This includes e-books, large amounts of text, forms, charts, maps, CD and multi-media presentations, splash pages, user interface and all types of similar electronic documents.

• D-Type PowerDoc automates and streamlines the entire process of creating, manipulating, displaying and storing visual information. This allows programmers to concentrate on other, more important tasks of their application. In other words, programmers can now focus on structure while allowing D-Type PowerDoc to deal with the complex task of rendering and display.

• With D-Type PowerDoc, objects to be rendered are created in accordance with predefined object design specifications. By following these specifications, developers can easily create objects that PowerDoc Engine will rendered very quickly and efficiently. Consequently, PowerDoc Engine does not need a complex parsing machinery to process and render its documents (which is not the case with technologies such as PostScript). Still, PowerDoc Engine is capable of rendering virtually anything that PostScript can, except that it will usually do this much more quickly.

• D-Type PowerDoc provides comprehensive support for advanced rich text layout and is therefore extremely well suited for rendering complex text. It supports unidirectional and bidirectional text, complex scripts such as Arabic, Indic or Thai, horizontal and vertical writing direction, inline objects that can be anchored anywhere in text, advanced typography and much more.

• Although D-Type PowerDoc is a very powerful technology, it's quite easy to master and suitable for both beginners and professionals. D-Type PowerDoc features a clean, intuitive and versatile API. It also includes the PowerDoc Editor, a simple to use visual application designed to assist with the creation of complex PowerDoc documents that can be later manipulated through code.

• As with D-Type Font Engine and Rasterizer, the rendering quality is excellent. Crisp, smooth, anti-aliased type and graphics are standard. On top of this, D-Type PowerDoc adds support for alpha-masking and high-quality bitmap resampling and filtering.

• Finally, D-Type PowerDoc includes D-Type Font Engine and Rasterizer as a subset of its core API. This means that by licensing D-Type PowerDoc, developers not only get access to the Power Engine API, but also all of the D-Type Font Engine and Rasterizer functionality.

It is important to note that D-Type PowerDoc is not only for documents used in print. Instead, the PowerDoc technology is ideal whenever high-quality visual presentation is required. As with all other D-Type engines, D-Type PowerDoc is suitable for all types of output devices including CRT monitors, LCD and TV screens.
