Opening a Support Case

General remarks

  • Support requires a support contract, which includes technical support with short response times and free minor and major updates.
  • We also offer product support on a voluntary basis, but do not guarantee response times in this case. For details please see our Support Details.
  • Bug reports will only be accepted if the latest maintenance release of the respective product line is used. If a problem cannot be reproduced with the latest available maintenance release, but only earlier versions, the case will be closed. For example, a bug report in version 10.0.1 will not be accepted if the bug has been fixed in the maintenance release 10.0.2.
  • Support cases will only be accepted during the lifetime of a product. Example: the lifetime of PDFlib 9 ended in 12/2023.
