Frequently asked questions

What counts as commercial use?: If you use PulpPDF at work, for client deliverables, or as part of any activity that generates revenue –that's commercial use and requires a Commercial License.
How many computers can I use it on?: One license activates on one computer. If you need PulpPDF on multiple machines, you'll need a license for each one. You can deactivate and move your license to a new computer at any time.
Will any features ever become paid?: No. All features are free for all users. The Commercial License is only required for business use — it doesn't unlock anything extra.
What's the refund policy?: All Commercial License purchases are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked.
How are payments processed?: All payments are handled by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. Paddle accepts credit cards, PayPal, and other local payment methods.
Can I use the free version at work for evaluation?: Yes. You're welcome to try PulpPDF before purchasing a Commercial License. Once it becomes part of your regular workflow, a license is required.
What does "lifetime" actually mean?: It means every future version of PulpPDF is included –v2, v3, and beyond. One payment, no upgrade fees, no surprises. If we release a major new version five years from now, your license still covers it.
