Subscription vs. lifetime license
PDF Extra Premium and PDF Extra Ultimate are subscription-based licenses billed yearly. Signing up for any of our subscription plans guarantees access to the latest software updates and features as soon as they arrive. With PDF Extra Lifetime, you get a license that never expires and includes all of the tools of the Premium pricing plan plus ongoing support without recurring fees.
If you visit our download page, you will also see PDF Extra 2019 and PDF Extra 2021 as available options. These are legacy versions, meaning they are no longer being sold and updated. We’ve kept them so that people who have purchased these product versions in the past can still freely download and install them as many times as needed.
