eDOC is a shareware program which enables preparation of so-called "autonomous" or "portable" documents from most Macintosh applications. Such documents can be read and printed without the need for the source application to be available, while maintaining their original content and layout.
Standard eDOC documents are read using a free application (eDOC Reader) which is included in the package. The Reader is small in size (about 50K) and has several viewing, searching and copying options.
New in version 1.1 is the ability to create self-reading documents which contain an embedded viewer application and therefore do not require the separate Reader application. The embedded viewer adds less than 40K to the document size.
eDOC may be used on a free trial basis for 30 days. If you find it useful and continue to use it beyond the free trial period, you are required to pay a $25 registration fee.
This file is a self-installing package which includes eDOC Creator (a chooser extension), eDOC Reader (an application) and full documentation.
