Free or paid?

Hi. This post and its content - generating PDF documents based on .DOCX templates is very impressive! Hope it will be available soon that I will reevaluate my decision in programming an invoice-billing application in .NET rather than using PHP.

As this will be a part of new Zend Framework - will it be contained as default and will it be free or should I have to buy it as extra package?

Hello Peter

Zend_Service_LiveDocx_* is released under the free BSD license and will be part of the standard Zend Framework distribution file, as of ZF 1.10.

Zend_Service_LiveDocx_* connect to a backend service, running LiveDocx. This service is completely free to use.

It is possible to rent your own backend server, if you need to generate many thousand documents per day.

It is also possible to purchase a license and install the backend server in your local network. This is the fastest way of generating documents with Zend_Service_LiveDocx_*.

We will be posting information about these three ways of using Zend_Service_LiveDocx_* on to phpLiveDocx.org in the very near future.

Best regards

Jonathan
