The development of software solutions for the larger audience often involves some preparations for the public release insofar as the details that accompany the program are concerned. Thus, in order to make such products easier to find and to have them listed on dedicated websites, the use of PAD files is still quite common.

Nonetheless, in order to be able to create such items, a special type of application might be required and PADGen is one of the possible choices in this respect.

Multi-tabbed and highly practical front-end

The installation procedure should take about a minute and after that, the program is ready to help users start creating the necessary Portable Application Description (PAD) files. There are numerous fields available for completion and they are neatly organized under relevant categories.

The specifications and description of any product that has one such PAD file associated can be subject to modification and PADGen can do that very easily, thanks to the numerous functions it comes with.

Effortless PAD generation and editing

When it comes to putting together all the needed data that has to go with one application or another, this utility will make it possible for users to input company information, software details, several descriptions ranging from 45 up to 2,000 characters, as well as the links to various resources like the app's download link, information and ordering webpages and many more.

Some of the most important fields, namely the license and the distribution agreement are treated under the same tab, each having a generous space at its disposal, so all the text that has to go with that product can be inserted in the corresponding box.

There are two more optional parameters that one can add to the PAD files, namely the affiliation IDs and links for purchasing that software and also the mention of membership in the ASP (Association of Software Professionals).

A comprehensive tool for creating and managing PAD files

To sum things up, PADGen is one of the best utilities that any user, experienced or beginner can use to make the specifications and description of certain products known to the target audience.
