A Facebook user is complaining that the Package Installer lists Master PDF Editor as the free version, but it installs version 5, which requires paid registration for full functionality. He suggests that the PI should install version 4, which is fully free.
Any thoughts please?

Re: Master PDF in PI paid version?
Version 5 is still a free version with limited functionality compared to the full paid version. In this sense the listing in MX PI is correct.chrispop99 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 8:35 am A Facebook user is complaining that the Package Installer lists Master PDF Editor as the free version, but it installs version 5, which requires paid registration for full functionality.

I do support the idea to add an additional installer for version 4, which comes with less limitations within the free version.

Re: Master PDF in PI paid version?
That's the correct installer for pointing to the latest , currently version 5 (limited) free version.dolphin_oracle wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 8:51 amif that is wrong, then I'm happy to correct. someone will have to tell me how.Code: Select all

The installer for version 4 would be slightly different. ... ... will need to look, find, test and send a PM ...

Re: Master PDF in PI paid version?
The problem with using version 5 without paid registration is that it adds a watermark, apparently.

Re: Master PDF in PI paid version?
Yes, that's one of main differences compared to version 4, were they don't add watermark when editing the PDF. That's the reason I do have both version 4 and 5 installed in parallel.chrispop99 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 9:28 am The problem with using version 5 without paid registration is that it adds a watermark, apparently.

Re: Master PDF in PI paid version?
I made an edit in a PDF with version 5, and printed it. You can barely see the watermark. Initially I thought it was not there.

Re: Master PDF in PI paid version?
OK. Just send a PM to D_O with MX Package Installer instructions to get Master PDF Editor 4 installed.

Re: Master PDF in PI paid version?
Anyone know what was changed in the latest version now at 5.4.04 ? Not sure what the difference between our available versions other than the watermark. Can someone explain it to me?
