A graphical frontend of Dark_Alex's docmaker that allows you to creat DOCUMENT.DAT (in-game guides/walkthroughs) for PS1 games on PSP (or just images like jpegbook / TXT2JPG). Developed using HiAsm.

It is a remake of the PSP DocMaker GUI that adds support for UTF-8 Cyrillic encoding, a functional preview window, line breaks by words, and margin adjustments.

Features

• Preview. In the preview window, you can flip through pages (only forward) by clicking on them.
• Support for various encodings of input text files .txt (UTF-8, ANSI, WIN, DOS, KOI-8, Macintosh).
• Setting the Game ID (this option is not relevant for modern custom firmware; you can choose any ID).
• Output image size: 480x248, 480x272 or 480x480.
• Line breaks by image width in whole words (can be disabled).
• You can save images of finished pages in the program folder (by disabling the option to delete temporary files).
• Selecting and customizing the font, additional customization of the font color, adding your own font (.fon/.fnt/.ttf/.ttc/.otf) to the list of temporary fonts (this list is cleared after restarting the PC).
• Set background image (.bmp/.jpg/.jpeg/.png/.gif). You can use any images, they are scaled depending on the selected size.
• Background fill options: solid color, color gradient, gradient with a border and "Random style".
• Adjust the size of the text indentation from the screen borders.
• Drag`n`Drop support: fonts, images, DAT files, texts and folders to the program window.
• Save any settings and reset all settings by pressing the corresponding buttons.
• Necessary Files are created upon first launch.
• Simple guide on how to use when you hover over the "? Help" text.
