I can get a trial key for PDF.js Express Free Viewer but not for PDF.js Express Plus. How do I evaluate the annotation features in a development area before committing to buying a licence?  
I know the previous version allowed you to run a trial/watermarked version without a licence key. How do I get the same evaluation instance with the updated version?  
Thanks,  
Justin

Hey there,

You can install and use PDF.js Express Plus without providing a license key. It will run in demo mode (watermarked) until you provide a valid key.

Thanks,  
Logan

Hi Logan, yes you’re correct thanks. I had incorrectly downloaded the viewonly version.  
Thanks again.
