Did anybody see conditions for the announced
"Moreover, you will be happy to see that we will be offering promotional prices for upgrades to v14, as well as new licenses, for a limited time, starting Thursday."
The current conditions on the upgrade page are not very promotional from my point of view.
Cheers, George

Hey George,
Karl here, certainly our pricing has increased over the lifespan of Quick PDF Library. You see, we have a much larger team in place now than back in the 2000's and we do much more with them.... and of course, we need to pay them which I'm sure you understand.
If you have a specific situation you would like to talk to me about, please http://tickets.foxitsoftware.com/create.php?__hstc=252292630.06eec6d6ea5b39403c94ee464d0c282b.1502052193859.1504888456093.1504899496834.12&__hssc=252292630.6.1504899496834&__hsfp=2298481350" rel="nofollow - log a support ticket and put my name in the subject and I'll see what we can do.
Cheers,
-Karl

I want to test 14 to see if some bugs are fixed before I commit to a purchase, but the license code included with the installer doesn't work (expired in July according to the comment in the text file). I've tried Foxit support but haven't received an answer...anyone have a working trial key?

You should try these two links for support: http://www.debenu.com/store/contact-sales/ http://www.debenu.com/support/contact/ Debenu is Debenu and Foxit is Foxit ;-)

Hey jbpro,
Nic from Debenu here. I have your new key. Can you email me at nicolas.derico@debenu.com so I can send it your way?
Cheers, Nic

I've been a long-term user of this library for more than 15 years. Got the source code, jumped through the various reincarnations, helped in fixing problems and improving features, am on the latest v13. But the new "promotional" upgrade prices ($1,000/$1,500) are a deal breaker.
The other thing the bothers me is that I don't need the Viewer part of the library, which seems to receive the majority of the updates & development effort in the last few years. I'd rather they spin that out to a different component and keep prices reasonable on the library functions.
I'm starting to look into alternatives. SyncFusion has a free Community license for developers with less the $1 million in annual revenues: https://www.syncfusion.com/products/file-formats/pdf. Any other good alternatives you are aware of?
I'm going to wait a while to see if Foxit decides to offer special upgrade pricing to long-term loyal customers or for customers on the latest version (v13). But I'm afraid they plan to squeeze short-term income out of this library while killing it.

Hi Ingo - did try support first of course, when didn't hear back I just wanted to see if any users had a working trial code in case I was looking in the wrong place (the one included in the Program Files folder is expired).
@Nic - Thanks! I've sent an email :)

@IXM7: I am in much the same boat, though we have only been using the library for about 8 years and I do not have the source. While they continue to offer renewals of Premium Upgrade Protection I will stick with Quick PDF, but who knows how long that will be? Without the source, and as Foxit increases the intervals between releases and Idera/Embarcadero reduces them, I see some problems ahead also.
What programming languages do you use with Quick PDF? I have used some viable (and very affordable) alternatives for specific tasks that we need, but I have found nothing with the breadth of functionality that Quick PDF offers. However like you, I do not use anywhere near all of it.

Yes, I also got the Premium Upgrade protection with v13 but, since the gap to v14 is more than a year, the protection doesn't apply. I work mainly with vb.

If you have not left it too late you might be able to renew the PUP (but mine continues for a couple of months yet). I do not know much about VB development but the Winsoft interface to PDFium (which I have used from Delphi) does have a .Net version at https://www.winsoft.sk/npdfium.htm. It's predominantly C# though. The Winsoft PDFium interface has nowhere near the sophistication, or documentation, of Quick PDF, but it is good for simple things. I use several of their other tools in Delphi apps.

I am also curious if the Lite version will be upgraded, since the new engine is faster, then I think it should be possible to test in LITE version.
