Generating PAD File

By Akbar • May 29th, 2010

Most of the online software downliad site supports the PAD file for your application submisssion. The PAD (Portable Application Description ) is a machine-readable document format designed by the Association of Shareware Professionals

Though it’s just an XML file and you can create this using an XML Editor or even a notepad, I find it handy to use PADGen application to do so. If you don’t like installing new tools, then you can try the online web based PAD Generator too:

For those who prefer direct XML editing, here the quick link for the PAD sample Xml file:

As usual, last but not least, a link to one very good website with a lot of information and tips about submitting the PAD files:
