All DynaPDF versions provide a unique API and they are binary compatible. You can upgrade to a higher version whenever you want. If you want to check whether you use a function of DynaPDF Starter, Lite or Professional pass the string “Starter” or “Lite” to SetLicenseKey (Xojo) or DynaPDF.Initialize (FileMaker), depending on which version you want use. All functions which are disabled in these versions return then with an error.

* Printing PDF is only available on Windows. For macOS or iOS check our PDFKit plugin functions.

The conversion of arbitrary imported PDF files to PDF/A requires a separate license of the PDF/A Extension (extra purchase in addition to Pro license).

Only if you buy the license from Monkeybread Software, you receive a license key valid for use in Xojo, Real Studio and FileMaker. Keys sold by DynaForms directly do not work with our plugins. For all orders of DynaPDF licenses, we pass your contact data for the order to DynaForms GmbH for creating license key and they will send you emails about new releases, newsletters and the license keys.
