Simple setup and interface

The installation procedure is a speedy task that shouldn't give you any trouble, since there are no special options, mandatory software applications or third-party components bundled.By the look of the interface, Simple Document Assembly hasn't received updates for a pretty long time. It reminds us of Microsoft Office 97. However, it has a neatly structured layout and well-organized options.

Customize font and page settings

It's possible to change the font type, size and color, emphasize text by applying bold, italic or underline effects, show line endings, set the text alignment, create bullet lists, as well as to insert Package, Paintbrush or Wordpad objects, or another file's contents as an object.Furthermore, you can resort to a simple search-and-replace function, calculate and replace math expressions, insert blank lines and page breaks, toggle multiple opened docs, as well as open and edit .ini configuration and .tmp template files to assembly the document.

Evaluation and conclusion

No error dialogs popped up in our tests and the tool didn't freeze or crash. It left a small footprint on PC performance in our tests, running on a low amount of CPU and memory.On the other hand, Simple Document Assembly hasn't been updated for a long time, and its interface needs a lot of work in the graphical department. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself, since it's free.
