Create HTML Help Files or PDF Files with GemDoc

GemDoc is a powerful and easy to use, freeware application that allows you to create the most popular document formats including PDF, PostScript, RTF, HTML, and HTML Help. It can easily create instructions and policy manuals to technical documentation and software help files. It also helps you to convert documents written in Html to PDF, Text, and PostScript.

GemDoc processes SGML and XML and keeps a single document which can be converted into a variety of formats without post-conversion formatting issues. Once you have written the document, it looks good in all the formats, be it Html, PDF, Html Help, PostScript, Text or RTF. It also comes with extensive context-sensitive help and a set of templates to build your help files.
