Gnostice eDocEngine is a comprehensive, generic, 100% VCL electronic document creation component suite for Borland® Delphi and Borland® C++Builder. eDocEngine enables developers to deliver information from the applications they develop in over 20 popular document formats. Rich content can be easily formatted to the precise look and feel required and delivered directly to users web browsers, sent as email attachments or saved to disk. Actionable and navigational elements can be easily added to created documents to provide interactivity and enhance the overall user experience.

eDocEngine currently supports the creation of documents in PDF, RTF, HTML, XHTML, EXCEL, TEXT, CSV, Quattro Pro, LOTUS 1-2-3, DIF, SYLK, TIFF, PNG, SVG (XML based vector graphics), JPEG, GIF, BMP, EMF and WMF formats. Metafile, BMP, DIF, SYLK and Text can be directly output to the Windows® Clipboard. eDocEngine does not use any external software or require any DLLs to be deployed for creation of documents in any of the formats. eDocEngine also exports from QuickReport, ReportBuilder, FastReport, Rave Reports, AceReporter, Express Printing System, TRichView, ThtmlViewer and almost any other VCL component.
