I have installed the SDK after purchase, but when I print to the drivers from Applications such as MS Word all output still has the demo stamp?
The developers SDK is provided on a Royalty Free basis (for up to 100,000 end user desktop distributions per developer) and is not licensed as a general purpose PDF Virtual printer for direct use by 3rd party applications (such as MS Word).
Please never enter your serial number in the product installer or the end user UI interface of the driver - your licensing info is always passed in your application code - never divulge or expose to 3rd parties !
Your license allows you to incorporate PDF creation within your applications for end user use and distribute our Run Time files only - hence we have restricted SDK licensing to allow the driver to function only when the developers application passes the Serial Number and Developers code prior to printing - this unlocks the driver and allows PDF's in non-demo mode to be created.
You can code an application to open a Word file (or many other document types) in their original application - pass the unlock info, print and close the application and file - we provide a demo app showing this for C++/VB/Delphi/C#/Clarion etc.
If you wish to supply your clients with both PDF creation from your apps and from all other Windows apps - you will require both an SDK license and for each user a valid PDF-XChange End User license. We offer generous discounts to developers for client redistribution please contact sales@tracker-software.com for more info.
Please also note our licensing restrictions do not allow you to create applications that expose our products API to other dev's - or create tools for non end user use. Please read our license carefully to satisfy yourself prior to purchase that you are not breaching the license in your intended use.
We allow unrestricted use of our evaluation version for you to assess our products and even fully create your required application before you buy - there is no timeout on any of our evaluation versions. Please use them and only purchase when 100% satisfied. We do not offer refunds under any circumstances !
