PDF Expert Business Manager lets a company buy, assign, and manage PDF Expert Premium licenses for an entire team from one self-serve Admin Panel, instead of everyone subscribing individually. This article explains what PDF Expert Business Manager is, how roles and licenses work, how to set up a company or join one, and answers the most common billing questions.
What is PDF Expert Business Manager?
PDF Expert Business Manager is a self-serve Admin Panel where a company can purchase PDF Expert Premium licenses, invite team members, and manage everything from renewals to permissions in one place.
Here are some existing prerequisites:
- Currently, only an annual subscription is offered, with cross-platform support for iOS and macOS under one license
- You can purchase anywhere from 1 to 50 licenses directly in the Admin Panel. If your team needs more than 50 seats, use the Talk to Sales option instead
- PDF Copilot and other AI features aren't included in this initial release. They're on our roadmap and will roll out to business customers in the future
Roles: Members, Admins, and Super Admins
PDF Expert Business Manager has three roles, each with different access:
- Member: uses PDF Expert with a company-assigned license. Members don't have access to the Business Manager Admin Panel itself. Learn more about how to join as a member here.
- Administrator: can invite, edit, or remove Members. Admins only see the Members page and their own account settings - they can't access Billing, the Admins tab, or Team Settings
- Super Administrator: has full access. Super Admins manage Members, Admins, and other Super Admins, and are responsible for company settings, billing, and the subscription itself. Get more details on how to set up a company as a Super Admin here.
