Evaluation

Nothing to request.
Just install it.

The SDK is published under the AGPLv3 and is complete: every feature, no watermark, no limit, nothing that expires. Evaluate it against your real workload today. The form below is for telling us what you are building, not for getting access.

~

Install it (nothing to unlock)

Add the crate and run your code. Every feature works, output is clean, and the build is the same one every paying customer runs. What you are choosing is a licence, not a binary.

Tell us what you are building

We will tell you which licence applies — including when the answer is that the free one does — and answer questions about your workload while you evaluate.

Tell us what you are evaluating

No key is issued and nothing is unlocked — there is nothing to unlock. We read every one of these and reply.

No credit card, no account, and nothing to install afterwards: the SDK you already have is complete.

What you get

  • All SDK modules — Document, Page, Form, Renderer, Encryption
  • XFA form parsing and flattening
  • PDF/A validation and conversion
  • AES-256 encryption and digital signatures
  • WASM build target

+ 3 more features

Delivery: automated, usually in under 2 minutes.

How to start

1

Add to Cargo.toml

Add pdfluent to your dependencies. No system libraries, no C build steps — it compiles like any other Rust crate.

[dependencies]
pdfluent = "1.0"
2

Skip the activation step

There is none. No key, no file, no environment variable, and nothing that checks a date — on any binding. What you choose is a licence, and /docs/licensing says which one applies to you.

# Nothing to activate
3

Start building

The full API is available immediately. Load a PDF, parse an XFA form, render to image, convert to PDF/A — whatever you need to test.

let doc = Document::open("form.pdf")?;

What's included

The evaluation is not a feature-limited demo, and it is not time-limited either. It is the full SDK, under the AGPLv3, with nothing switched off.

All SDK modules — Document, Page, Form, Renderer, Encryption
XFA form parsing and flattening
PDF/A validation and conversion
AES-256 encryption and digital signatures
WASM build target
No watermarks on output
No page or file size limits
Full API surface — nothing disabled

What happens after the evaluation

Continue with a licence

Nothing changes in your code or your build: a commercial licence removes the AGPL's source obligation, not a technical restriction. Choose the plan that fits your team size — Lite, Plus, Professional, or Unlimited.

Stop using PDFluent

Remove the dependency from Cargo.toml. There is no subscription to cancel, no account to close, and no data stored on our end.

FAQ

Does the evaluation require a credit card?

No, and it requires nothing else either. The SDK is published under the AGPLv3 and is complete: install it and start. No payment details, no key, no sign-up.

Can I use it in production?

Yes, under the AGPLv3 and its obligations: if you convey the software, or let users interact with a modified version over a network, you must offer those users the corresponding source under the same licence. A commercial licence is the alternative for organisations that cannot do that.

How do I activate it?

You do not. There is no licence key and no activation step on any channel — nothing reads a key, nothing is withheld and output carries no mark. The summary lives at /docs/licensing.

What happens after 30 days?

Nothing. Nothing in the software checks a date, and no version of it stops working. What changes after an evaluation is which licence you rely on — the AGPL and its source obligation, or a commercial licence that removes it.
