First up, a big thank you to all of the existing Quick PDF Library (formerly known as iSEDQuickPDF and QuickPDF) users who have taken the time to contact us since we announced the acquisition of the iSEDQuickPDF library earlier this month. Your positive feedback and excitement about our acquisition of the library is very much appreciated.

While we continue to work hard behind-the-scenes to prepare the next version of the Quick PDF Library for release — by the way, we’re making great progress, you will be impressed — we want to continue gathering as much information from our users as possible about their thoughts on the state of the current library and what sort of features and improvements they would like to see introduced in the future.

We already think that Quick PDF Library is an excellent and powerful PDF SDK — not to mention extremely cost-effective — but we want to make it even better. We want it to be the number one PDF SDK for developers.

With this in mind, if you have any thoughts about the library that you would like to share with us; or if you have discovered a bug that you would like to report; or if you have a feature suggestion — we’d like to hear from you.

We look forward to working with you to make Quick PDF Library number one.

P.S. If you purchase version 5.11 of the Quick PDF Library now (only $149), then you will be entitled to a free upgrade when the next version is released — with lots of new features and improvements.

Welcome to the Quick PDF Library blog. We will be using this blog to keep Quick PDF Library users up-to-date with every aspects of the library — from new releases, to tips and tutorials, and special offers. Basically anything that we think might be of benefit to our customers.

Stay tuned, we have some exciting announcements to kick things off.
