DesignCraft is an open-source desktop publishing and page layout program:
spreads and parent pages, threaded text frames, paragraph and character
styles, tables, text wrap, images, swatches, layers, a paragraph composer
with hyphenation and justification, and PDF export (including PDF/X-4 and
PDF/A-2b). It saves its own .designcraft documents, imports and exports IDML,
imports INDD, and exports EPUB, PPTX, HTML, PNG and JPEG. This is an
unofficial port of DesignCraft 0.14.0 to AmigaOS 4 (PPC). It is based on
DesignCraft by the ArtCraft team (https://github.com/storytold/designcraft)
and is not made, endorsed or supported by the ArtCraft team. DesignCraft is
not affiliated with Adobe Inc.

Requirements
- AmigaOS 4.1 on a PowerPC G3 or newer (tested on an AmigaOne X5000)
- clib4.library
- mesa.library (Mesa 3D for AmigaOS 4 by kas1e)
- A Radeon graphics card with a working Mesa/Warp3D Nova driver
  (tested with RadeonRX)
- About 512 MB of free RAM

Installation
Unpack the archive anywhere writable and double-click the DesignCraft icon.
Help > Sample Document opens a sample magazine.

Amiga integration
- Documents are opened, saved, placed and exported with ASL requesters;
  documents open from their project icons and can be dragged from Workbench
  onto the window.
- Copy and paste text through the Amiga clipboard (FTXT).
- The window remembers its position and size and can be zoomed and
  iconified.
- Unsaved documents are kept as recovery copies and offered again at the
  next start.
- The interface follows the Locale language (English, Spanish, German,
  French, Italian and more).

Notes
- The program is about 75 MB; loading it from a network share is slow.
- Full English and Spanish instructions are in ReadMe and LEEME; all
  licenses are in the Licenses drawer.

Built with the Rust compiler for AmigaOS 4 by AmigaLabs and clib4.
Thanks to kas1e for Mesa on AmigaOS 4.
