activePDF ASI Partner Program — PDF Software and PDF Tools

The activePDF Authorized Systems Integrator (ASI) and Solution Provider (SP) programs focus on providing high-quality activePDF software, technical support, product services leads and marketing opportunities.

Intended Channel to Market
activePDF solutions are sold and supported exclusively by activePDF, activePDF Authorized System Integrators and Solution Providers, activePDF VAR's and activePDF Corporate Resellers.

activePDF Server™ may in some cases require further development work to become an integrated solution. Naturally, this integration allows greater flexibility than a standard out of-the-box product, and makes activePDF Server a highly powerful cost-effective tool.

ASIs and SPs are expected to configure activePDF software to a customer's specific requirements. Using the tools provided, the Systems Integrator or Solutions Provider can configure the software with tailored PDF configuration settings.
