Overview

Five core capabilities, one integrated toolchain.

Qtes eCTD Builder covers the full submission lifecycle in a single desktop application — from organizing source files to producing a validated, archived, ready-to-transmit dossier.

  • Standalone Windows desktop application
  • Native Windows app running on Windows 7 and later (requires Microsoft .NET runtime)
  • Lifecycle support — current and previous sequences viewed together, structured under each submission
  • Submissions organized by authority, agency and applicant — easy to find, view and audit
  • Locked submissions and multi-admin approval to prevent accidental changes after publish
  • Automatic history: each published submission is compressed with a date/time stamp; optional cloud backup
  • System-managed human actions to avoid validation errors — file/folder naming, structure, UUIDs, checksums, PDF properties

System requirements: Windows 7 or later · Microsoft .NET runtime.

Functions & Features

Everything you need from creation to publish

Six capability areas that work together — from organizing source files to producing a validated, archived, ready-to-transmit dossier.

General

Move files & directories into the submission while keeping the original structure intact. Easy to find, view and audit submissions; history is preserved with date-time-stamped archives and optional cloud backup.

Dossier

Dossiers are automatically created and sorted by authority, agency, purpose and applicant name. A lifecycle view shows all sequences together — current sequence files alongside every previous sequence under the same submission.

Compile

Compile submissions according to the selected authority's procedure. Build and fill the eCTD XML backbone — IDs, checksums, href links and all required attributes — with the option to validate existing or imported submissions.

Publishing

Publish the compiled submission to a defined path with a generated PDF Table of Contents, envelope and validation report. Submissions are archived as compressed instances with date-time names. Publishing is blocked until the submission is compiled and locked.

Validation

On-spot validation runs during submission building, so issues surface early. A validation report is generated and archived every time validation runs — providing a permanent audit trail for every dossier you produce.

PDF Utilities

Built-in PDF toolkit: hyperlink & bookmark fixer and creator, file splitter, file compression, file comparison, and a "Fix PDF" tool that automatically resolves common issues to meet authority requirements.

Permissions & governance

Restricted, role-based permissions control who can add, delete or unlock submissions. Deleting or unlocking published submissions requires confirmation from all authorized admins — so important work is never lost or overwritten by mistake.

Error prevention by design

Qtes eCTD Builder restricts and manages human actions automatically — controlling file and folder naming, structure, UUID and checksum generation, related file IDs, file type and format checks, and PDF properties — to eliminate common sources of validation errors before they happen.
