Integration
A COM object has to be integrated into your application. novaPDF SDK works with most programming languages (C/Cplusplus/C#, Visual C, Delphi, Visual Basic, ASP.NET, VB.Net, Java ...). You don't have to integrate anything into your application. Since no integration is required your application can be written in any programming language and you will still be able to use novaPDF OEM.
Distribution
It is mandatory to distribute the novaPDF SDK printer in the application's setup. This is done under royalty free licensing, so developers only pay for the SDK license no matter the distribution quantity. It is mandatory to distribute the novaPDF OEM printer with the application's setup. However, this is done under royalty free licensing, so developers only pay for the OEM license.

Direct Printing
The licensed novaPDF SDK (COM object) lets users create PDFs without the watermark only from your application, not by printing directly to the printer. The licensed novaPDF OEM printer allows users to create PDF files from any application with printing capabilities.
End-user access
Your end-users can access the resulting PDF files as they wish, because your application will do the pre-processing before conversion. The resulting PDF files must be accessible only to your application. You will need to do post-processing to the resulting PDF before showing it to end-users.
Restrictions
You are not allowed to develop a PDF creator using novaPDF SDK. Your application must have additional relevant functionality. You are not allowed to develop a PDF creator using novaPDF OEM. Your application must have additional relevant functionality.
