Tomahawk Gold is a feature-rich and intuitive application designed to offer a complete and efficient method of writing and storing documents, as well as converting them to PDF files easily. It features complex formatting and editing tools, along with different options to transform records into quality PDFs. It supports many file formats, such as RTF, TXT, XML, TMD, CTD, PDB, PRC, DOC and ODT.

The program offers a sophisticated and modern interface showing the word processor as the main panel and two toolbars, one with the necessary options to edit the text and the second displaying all the available PDF parameters. Thanks to its portability, the tool can be copied to external devices and run on any Windows-based computer.

To add items, you have two choices, to either open an existing file from the PC or start a new one from scratch by simply typing in thoughts, ideas or important projects for school or work. It would've been a good addition if the app had the ability to display recently accessed files, making it easier to reopen them.

You can copy, cut and paste as a plain or Unicode text from another source, and use the undo and redo buttons to fix errors. Another useful feature is the thesaurus function that finds a suitable synonym for the selected word so you won't repeat yourself. Plus, if you want to examine the text for grammar or syntax mistakes, the spellchecker helps you by pointing them out.

Tomahawk Gold presents a variety of aspects for personalizing phrases, such as font type and style, color, size, bold, italic, and underline, as well as paragraph alignment and marking, increase and decrease indent. You can insert other files, date and time, images (e.g. BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG, ICO), hyperlinks, along with bullet and number lists, page breaks, and customizable tables.

Other useful features worth mentioning are a built-in calculator and scratch pads, which are helpful for brief to-do lists, tasks, and spreadsheets. It's possible to quickly convert items between RTF, TXT and PDF, as well as to use a chart editor, which might come in handy when you want to generate graphics for various projects. Regarding the PDF feature, the app lets you choose the page size, mode and layout (continuous, single page, two columns), enable document password protection, edit user information, and configure basic font formatting options.

The bottom line is that Tomahawk Gold is a reliable and comprehensive application created to offer an efficient method of writing and storing different documents, editing and customizing them using a broad range of features, as well as converting them to PDF files.
