Frequently asked questions

Is the Nutrient SDK free to try?

Yes. You can try the Nutrient PDF SDK free for 30 days with full access to every feature — no trial key required. The trial lets you evaluate viewing, annotation, editing, signing, and more before you buy.

How long does the free trial last?

The trial runs for 30 days with full access to the SDK’s capabilities, so you have time to build and test a complete integration before committing.

Which platforms does the trial cover?

The trial covers Nutrient’s SDKs across web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, and server — so you can evaluate document features on the platforms your app targets.

Can I use the trial in production?

The free trial is for evaluation and development. To deploy to production, you’ll need a commercial license — contact our sales team for component-based pricing that matches your use case.
