* XMLmind XML Editor Personal Edition has *exactly* the same APIs as Professional Edition. These APIs are public. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/overview-summary.html See also http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/index.html * Moreover you can temporarily transform Personal Edition into a Professional Edition simply by downloading an evaluation key. See http://www.xmlmind.com:8080/eval_key/generate_key Feel free to download and install evaluation keys as many times as you want. * If, by "APIs support", you mean that we'll not answer your technical questions because you are not a customer yet. Well, in principle, that's right. But see below. > That is available only with XMLMind Professional edition.

Sorry but we do not rent software. Here's what I suggest: [1] Tell you developer to use "Personal Edition". [2] If needed to (for example, to test conversion to PDF), she/he can temporarily turn it to a "Professional Edition" by downloading and installing an evaluation key. [3] If, for any reason, [1] and [2] proves to be inconvenient, you may consider purchasing a single license of "Professional Edition" (USD300). [4] If your developer has technical questions, I'll try to answer them (mailto:hussein at xmlmind.com). You don't even need to purchase anything from us to get this kind of advanced support.
