Q. Are there any limitations in the evaluation version?
A. No, it's fully functional and represents all original features and behavior. It allows you to perform any tests in your production environment until you get the commercial version of the product.
Q. Do I need to obtain any special license from Adobe?
A. Adobe PDF is an open standard and we haven't seen anything that prevents to develop a product for the PDF document generation. Report Writer for Silverlight doesn't use Acrobat Reader's interfaces to produce PDF documents and is not a plug-in to the Acrobat Reader in any way. From that point of view the product is a standalone third party component. Thus, we believe that you have to follow the Acrobat Reader's license agreement in the matter of distributing the Acrobat Reader itself and the Report Writer for Silverlight's license agreement in the matter of distributing the product.
You may need to get a license from Adobe to bundle the Acrobat Reader with your project distribution package. However, this has nothing to do with the product's API used to generate PDF files.
Q. Do I need to obtain any special license from Microsoft?
A. To the best of our knowledge, Microsoft doesn't forbid third party companies to develop a product for the XPS document generation.
However, according to the XML Paper Specification Patent License we have to provide the following notice for your information:
This product may incorporate intellectual property owned by Microsoft Corporation. The terms and conditions upon which Microsoft is licensing such intellectual property may be found at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=52369.
Q. How to install or upgrade the product?
A. Report Writer for Silverlight doesn't require any installation. All you need to do is to reference the Siberix.ReportWriter.dll within your project.
