PAD Creator Editor's Review

Pad Creator helps any developer take the next step after creating a program. It will create a so-called PAD file, which contains information about your software. The PAD file should be hosted on your webserver, and submitted to all the sites on which you want your software to appear.

Creating and understanding a PAD file's structure involves a lot of work. This is not the case with this program. You'll get used to it very fast. All you have to do is enter your company details, and some information about your software and you're set to go. Next, you should create the actual PAD file by clicking the "Create" button. Once you have it you should upload it to your webserver and start submitting the PAD file's URL to software directories, online. You are welcome to submit your software to our website by using our pad submittal URL.

There are a lot of fields which need to be completed. The publisher recommends you fill them all in. You can also use Pad Creator to test your PAD file. When you press the "Verify" button the program creates a sample webpage which enables you to see how your program might look on a software website.

Pluses: Pad Creator can import a previously created PAD file, allowing you to modify it. It also provides useful links to websites which help you translate your pad file, or submit it automatically.

Drawbacks / flaws: The program is adware.

In conclusion: Pad Creator is a good tool for developers who want to advertise their software online.
