Software Manufacturers/OEMs

As an OEM partner you create your own software and integrate our components into your products, which are then sold to end customers. Our components are normally invisible to the end customer. When developing your software you want to concentrate on your core business and not preoccupy yourself with basic technologies. That is why you use PDF Tools’ components; knowing that these products have been proven thousands of times before by other OEMs. You do not have to carry the complete development costs again yourself. Your “make or buy” decision is thus facilitated.

We understand that as an OEM partner you would like to use your own, proven licensing and pricing models. It is clear to us that you don’t want to be tied down by a technology provider’s unique licensing system. That is why we tailor our licensing and pricing to match your own individual model.
