Question on: Wondershare PDFelement
Does the perpetual license for one user include future upgrades or do upgrades have to be purchased?
Upgrades. Is there a cost involved?

Susan, for a definitive answer you might want to contact the publisher, but in my experience a perpetual license includes support and upDATES but not version upGRADES. A licensed user who is happy with their current version will be supported, as will the software, for the term of the license, including perpetual; someone who has found that Version 5 offers them all they need can continue using it, can request (and receive) technical support, and will receive any updates which are issued. I had no reason to upgrade from v6 to v7 for a long time after 7 was released, and received various updates (mostly minor improvements) to v6 for as long as I used it.
However, if a version upgrade is released *and* if it offers features that you want or need, having a valid license for an earlier version nets you a substantial discount; when I finally decided to go from v6 to v7 I paid a fraction of the cost of purchasing v7 outright.

Will the app stay free?
Curious if the subscription will change.

Only Wondershare could answer authoritatively whether they intend ever to make it a paid app; my guess is that they will probably keep a free version available as it's an effective tool for introducing customers to the software. Adobe has kept its Reader free since the dinosaurs. 😄

Question on: Foxit PDF Editor
What would be the best way to integrate this program into an in-house ERP?
We use an industry-specific program called "MetalTrax" that uses window's built-in viewer and I was wondering how the best way to go about integrating it into that program so that it can automatically open your program.

Hello Teran:
They have an enterprise edition available for purchase. I would check with FoxIt and request a custom quote with some best practices.
Here is a link to their enterprise program. There are also numerous reviews available as well.

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know.
Best Regards,
Kevin

When you install Foxit it makes changes to windows so that all files with pdf extension automatically open with Foxit Phantom. Most applications uses windows registry to determine default application used to open a file so when "Metal Trax" exports/creates a pdf, it should automatically start Foxit Phantom.

I agree.Contact them about enterprise edition. Otherwise, it seems to smoothly integrate on its own.
