DynaPDF 5 Introduction

DynaForms released DynaPDF 5.0, their newest version of the DynaPDF library.

Price changes

With the new release DynaForms changes the prices and we follow them. The new prices for Lite, Pro and Enterprise licenses are lower. This makes the entry more affordable. Starter costs more and is now half of the Lite price.

Maintenance updates are 15% of the product prices.

Special offer

For the introduction of version 5, we offer a 15% special discount until March 15, 2026!

Platforms

DynaPDF 5 comes pre-built for these platforms:

Programming Languages

DynaPDF can be used with C/C++, C#, Delphi, Lazarus, PHP, Visual Basic, VBA, and VB .Net.

MBS adds support for FileMaker and Xojo.

Please note that you must purchase a license from Monkeybread Software, if you plan to use the plugin with Xojo or FileMaker. The licenses purchased from DynaForms directly do not work with our plugins.

This includes a framework for the FileMaker iOS SDK.

Changes

Everyone upgrading from older version 3 or 4, please be aware of these backwards incompatible changes:

• The property SetUseTransparency() is set to false by default now. This property enables color key masking for images with no alpha channel. It caused often unwanted side effects because users didn't expect that color key masking was enabled by default.

• The flag gfUseImageColorSpace is now set by default (see SetGStateFlags() for further information). In prior versions images were converted to the current color space by default. This handling was not optimal due to possible loss of fidelity and image quality. The original color space should be preserved if possible.

• The single page import is now available with the Lite license. Previously you required to have a Pro license. We updated the documentation of the plugin for the ImportPDFPage, ImportPage, and ImportPageEx functions.
