Arch Linux User Repository

The next person who discusses keygens will have their account suspended indefinitely.

Just about to release version 5.9.4 based on Qt 5.9.15. All packages will be available via the same links, so you can download relevant builds on the website: https://code-industry.net/free-pdf-editor/

Note, that while Qt version is updated, main links remain same.

Version 5.9.06 installed, launched, opened, edited, and saved a PDF.

@pgoetz Thanks! I just tried your PKGBUILD with changes to:

pkgver=5.8.46
...
arch=('aarch64' 'x86_64')
..
source_aarch64=("https://code-industry.net/public/master-pdf-editor-${pkgver}-qt5.arm64.tar.gz")
...
sha1sums_aarch64=('ceaa2f83cc54cc32b86b0b2aefe92227c439768d')

And it worked just fine on a 2020 Macbook Air M1 running Asahi linux (based on Archlinux Arm).

But one caveat: the official ARM build is of an older version (v5.8.46) than the x86 build (v5.8.63), which makes it a little bit difficult to update both if catering mostly to the x86 users.

So I guess no need to change anything, instead, I'll spin up an aarch64 aur package when I have time maybe this weekend.

Anyway, thank you very much for maintaining this package and have a nice one!

@m8D2 I wasn't aware that a single PKGBUILD could be used for different architectures? Let me look in to this and if feasible, will do. I'm kind of swamped at this moment, but will look in to this in the next 2 weeks.

Hi @pgoetz

Could you please add ARM version to the source() as well:

For arm64:

master-pdf-editor-5.8.46-qt5.arm64.tar.gz

Thanks!

@DAC324 I can confirm licenses do not transfer across major upgrades, that is the word of Code Industry support team, but if you ask them, they will send you links to download the last version on which your license is valid, you then only have to grab or write the correct PKGBUILD for that version.

@pgoetz Thanks for clarifying. Looks like I will have to have another look. Possibly, there are differences between the online activation and the keys for offline activation that were available for purchase formerly.

@DAC324 I've only ever purchased one license which has continued to work across multiple upgrades. Maybe the license doesn't survive a major release update? Say going from version 4.x.x. to version 5.x.x?

Just curious: Does the online activation of this program survive a version upgrade?

I am asking this because I purchased an offline activation key long time ago for Master PDF Editor 5.6 which became invalid as a new version of Master PDF Editor (5.7) was released so I had to buy it again which was a bit annoying. I guess it is comprehensible that I do not want to buy new keys again and again :)

Yes, I had qt5-declarative installed since that is used by many KDE applications (like okular, spectacle, khelpcenter, dolphin). Thus, KDE Plasma users will probably not have been affected.
