- How long does the ordering process take?
If ordering online, customers should receive their registration email within few hours of placing their order, normally a lot sooner. If ordering by check, or purchase order, registration email is delayed until payment is received.
- I haven't received my license registration e-mail, what should I do?
Check any spam filters that you have installed, it is possible that your registration e-mail was snagged by an errant spam filter. If you are using a spam challenge system, check to see if your registration e-mail is waiting for confirmation. I do try and respond to spam challenges but it can delay the registration e-mail. Make sure you supplied a valid e-mail address when submitting your order. If you have not received your registration e-mail within 24 hours, please contact pdfe@rttsoftware.com for assistance.
Yes, however, you must obtain a reference number prior to ordering by fax. To obtain a fax reference number, visit the buy page and follow the 2Checkout BuyNow links for ordering online. You will be required to entered your contact information and select the ordering method. Upon selecting Fax ordering, you will be given a reference number, fax number, and further instructions.
- What are the requirements for academic licenses?
Discounts are open to students, professors and computer labs, providing discounted products are not used for commercial purposes. If you find yourself needing or using the products for commercial purposes, please respect the license terms by purchasing, or asking your client or employer to purchase a license to use the product, at regular prices. To request academic discount contact pdfe@rttsoftware.com with some valid proof of academic association.

So if you license version 1.x, there will be a charge for updating to version 2.0. There is also a grace period. If you purchase within twelve months of the new major release, the update will be free. Once you update to a major version, all same major version releases will be free and so on.
