DynaPDF 5 Introduction

Extras

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!

MBS adds support for FileMaker and Xojo.

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.

It sounds harmless, but the annual update for Pro now costs 109 euros instead of 79 euros, which is an increase of almost 40 percent.

Sounds about right.

After 23 years the formula for update pricing got changed from 10% to 15%.

Anyone can use the coupon code DynaPDF5 for 15% discount on the renewal/upgrade to pay for 5 years.

And I did warn people on the MBS Xojo mailing list about pricing changes, so they could renew for the old prices.
