Some FAQ's you may find useful from our Support Forums:

PDF-Tools is supplied allowing **Royalty Free distribution of the Run Time DLLs or as part of the PDF-XChange PRO SDK

** Allows Up to 100,000 end user application licenses - above which you will require additional/alternative licensing
Important Note: If you supply a demo version and the driver prints our evaluation watermark on each page - such installations do not count against your total and all full release upgrades (i.e. 4.0) set the counter back to zero on your total license distribution.
