Actually no. They are fully aware of PDFium and I believe they have at least played with a widget for it although I’m not sure how as the packaged library support isn’t yet implemented for widgets as far as I know. > > This implies that anyone using a proprietary license should be able to obtain > this, and the other add-ons there, as a separate purchase.

Actually we are jumping the gun here. It’s quite possible that they could release all the add ons you can buy with your credits as dual license but just not include them (extra credits) in the Indy license. Seems like a wise move to me as it means they won’t get someone like me coming along that needs extra features for my client building a whole new widget that undercuts their market share. Instead it would be more logical for me to add features to their widget. Either way I’m hoping that these credits can be applied to any item in the extensions store so it would be possible to target them by building business centric widgets... _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
