From download to your first document
- Get the trial. On Gumroad, enter 0 in the price box and use your email to receive the download. You do not need to pay. Any optional contribution there does not buy the full license.
- Install PageDesk Trial. Run PageDesk-Trial-Setup-v0.30.2.exe. It installs separately and does not change the default PDF reader. The installer is unsigned. If your browser, Windows or organization blocks it, contact support; do not disable security protections.
- Open your own PDF. Seven consecutive calendar days begin when you first launch the trial, including days you do not use it. The trial toolbar shows days remaining. Getting-started guide · Watch tutorials.
- Save and review your work. Try reading, page organization, local OCR, annotations, forms, visual signatures, photo cleanup and nested bookmarks. Print/scan compatibility depends on your device and Windows driver. Keep originals and check output.
What happens after seven days?
The trial stops further work and offers a way to save unfinished documents before exiting. Your PDFs are not watermarked, encrypted or locked. They remain usable in other readers.
There is no automatic charge or subscription. To continue using PageDesk, purchase the separate full version for $49.99 one-time for one user, then install it and open your saved PDFs. Trial settings and saved signatures use a separate profile. Normal reinstalling does not restart the trial.
Requirements and limits
Tested on Windows 11 x64. Windows 10 and ARM are not verified. OCR, comparison and exports can misinterpret content; review results. Existing-text editing supports certain PDF text and fonts, not all documents. Visual signatures are not certificate-backed digital signatures.
Local trial records and privacy
The trial keeps Windows-protected first-launch and last-use timestamps under your Local and Roaming AppData, in Pathwork Solutions/PageDesk Trial. These records remain after uninstall so a normal reinstall does not reset the evaluation. Clock rollback or an unreadable record may block startup; correct the computer clock or contact support. PDF processing remains local; no trial activation server or document upload is used.
Gumroad separately handles your download email and any checkout under its own policies. PageDesk privacy information.
Evaluation terms
Pathwork Solutions LLC permits personal or business evaluation of this separate build for seven consecutive calendar days from first launch. You may share the complete, unmodified trial package with its notices for others to evaluate. You may not sell the evaluation package, bypass its limit, or redistribute the unrestricted paid application.
Keep backups and verify results. To the extent permitted by law, the trial is supplied as is without warranties. Mandatory rights remain unaffected. Third-party license rights prevail over conflicting restrictions, including LGPL library replacement and reverse engineering for debugging those modifications.
Third-party source is freely downloadable: matching library source, checksums and replacement instructions. NAPS2 matching source is included with the trial. The application’s evaluation limit does not restrict those components’ independent rights.
