Questions, answered.
The short version: PDFluent is free for personal use, runs fully local, and never sends your files anywhere. Here are the details.
Is PDFluent really free?+
Yes — free for personal use, with the full app and no feature gates. Business use needs a $49/year-per-user licence.
Does it work offline?+

Where does my data go?+
Nowhere. Your files never leave your device — there is no account, no cloud and no telemetry.
Which platforms are supported?+
PDFluent runs on macOS, Windows and Linux.
How does the business licence work?+
It is self-declaration on first run, backed by an Ed25519-signed licence file. One licence per user, billed annually, with volume pricing for teams.

Can it open XFA / dynamic forms?+
