Quick PDF Library update...

Dear quickpdf.org members,

Apologies for the repetition, I've posted this in the "General" and "I need help area" -- yes, I know not formal forum etiquette – this is a one-off.

I'll be blunt -- the prices for Quick PDF Library have risen (not by much, but increased nonetheless) ... Before I provide more detail, obviously, the first question you're going to wonder is why? The answer to this is three-fold,

a) One of the primary reasons that the previous business, SedTech was unable to provide ongoing development and support was that their prices did not allow them to run a successful business;

b) The new prices are still extremely competitive when compared to equivalent types of PDF libraries, especially given that they are royalty-free;

c) You can expect excellent from our support team as we will be in a position to do so. We'll be adding plenty of sample code and help, as to be honest, what's around right now on our site is abysmal.

You can find a list of our new prices at http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/store/quickpdf/index.php

They are as follows:
1 Upgrade License      USD $89.40      
1 License           USD $149.00      
5 License Pack           USD $489.00      
10 License Pack           USD $789.00      
Site License (25 users)      USD $1299.00
Source License           USD $1779.00

After speaking with many customers, we have established that the Source License is required by many for (at least) 3 reasons: 1) sense of security; 2) ease of integration, and 3) debugging with their applications.
Of course, we're aware that in the past that source code was sold for $500, and that $1779 seems like quite a price hike. Consequently, we've made a decision to offer a significant 60% discount to those quickpdf.org members who wish to upgrade.

The coupon code for this is "QUICKORGSOURCE", and will remain valid until March 31, 2009. This is a total cost of $711.60 USD and will provide access to updates made within 12 months from purchase.

Once again, I understand that we're not going to be able to keep everyone happy -- however, I'd hope that most forum members will be happy to see Quick PDF Library in the hands of a professional team who are dedicated to making it the truly "The Unrivaled PDF Library".

As always, I'm happy to take any specific individual comments -- good bad or otherwise directly to my personal email - karl.deabrew@debenu.com.
