Please note that as of 12th March 2021, this SDK product is no longer available to purchase, and maintenance agreements/product updates for it are expected to cease at the end of 2022. When all maintenance agreements have expired we will no longer be releasing any new SDK updates, although all existing products will continue to operate as normal. We thank you for your interest and use of these products, but they have come to represent a very small fraction of our sales revenue, and it has become clear that our business model should be updated to exclude them. Further information about this is available here.

Viewer ActiveX SDK is a fully featured, ready to incorporate facsimile of the End User PDF-XChange Viewer Pro, embedded within a Window of the developers application, the developer is able to hide and disable most of the controls and functions within the SDK and some GUI tailoring is possible - but Tracker Software branding is present and required from the 'About' Window of the embedded viewer.

 

********
Please note - this product is made available as a simpler and cheaper alternative to the PDF-XChange Editor SDK - it is now no longer being developed and no feature additions or bug fixes are available ! 

If you opt to pay for extended maintenance - should you subsequently choose to upgrade to the Editor SDK you will receive a full credit in return against the purchase price of this SDK - exclusive of maintenance, so the maintenance is a form of 'upgrade' guarentee and contribution towards support for this product.

* Note: Though many users have virtualized some of our component products such as the PDF-XChange Viewer and PDF-Tools application using XenApp, we do not support this at this time. Particularly the printer drivers are not designed to work in a virtualized environment.

** Limitations to product support for Windows XP

To experience the best performance of our products on all Windows operating systems, the onus is on users to ensure that they have all the latest available Microsoft Windows Service Packs & Updates installed.

Demo Limits

Evaluation versions of our SDK software are fully functional, allowing the testing and full utilization of all SDK features, Developers need to be aware that any test documents will have a demo watermark placed on every page of any PDF created or modified with the evaluation versions.

    After looking at all of the other SDK’s out there, I was on the edge of mental breakdown because I wasn’t sure we were going to find a suitable candidate for our product.

    Then I found Tracker-Software which is the holy grail that my boss claimed we probably wouldn’t be able to find! I’m so pleased with your software and all the service that you have provided.

    Thanks a million. Take care,

    -John Aitchison
