Installing on a Development Machine

To Install PDF Xpress™ Component

Run the downloaded setup program which installs the development kit on your development machine.

The downloaded development kit includes code samples for supported platforms. Samples are accessed through the Start | Programs | Accusoft | PDF Xpress menu.

By default, this registers as a trial license, which allows you to develop applications but not to distribute them. The trial license allows testing of all the functions and features.

Please see the section 'Distributing Applications and Deployment' to understand the limits and details to convert licensing editions.

In order to distribute your finished application, you must purchase and install a fully paid license from Accusoft. The paid licenses override trial licenses.

Once you have installed PDF Xpress, you will have access to the following stand-alone help file:

Accusoft.PdfXpress6.Net.chm - Access the PDF Xpress stand-alone help through the Windows Start menu: Start | Programs | Accusoft | PDF Xpress

In addition, you will have access to the following compiled collection help file:
