Joining your team as a Member

If your team's admin has invited you to PDF Expert Business Manager, this article walks you through activating your business license and unlocking Premium features on your devices.

Prerequisites 

• You'll need the invitation email from your team's admin
• Your business license covers up to 3 devices - any combination of Mac, iPhone, and iPad

Step 1 — Install PDF Expert (or update to the latest version)

If PDF Expert isn't installed yet, download it before clicking the link in your invitation email. This ensures the link opens the app correctly for account setup.

If you already have PDF Expert installed, make sure it's updated to the latest version to work correctly with Business Manager.

• On iPhone or iPad, download or update PDF Expert from the App Store
• On Mac, download or update PDF Expert from the website

Step 2 — Accept your invitation

Once PDF Expert is installed and up to date:

1. Open the invitation email from your team's admin and click Accept Invitation.
2. The link launches PDF Expert, walks you through a few welcome screens, and takes you to a short web form to create your password.
3. Submit the form. You'll be automatically signed in to PDF Expert on this device.

You'll use the same email and password to sign in on any additional devices (see Step 3). The invitation link works only for this first device.

That's it - Premium features are now unlocked on this device.

Step 3 — Add PDF Expert to your other devices

Your license covers up to 3 devices in total. To sign in on another Mac, iPhone, or iPad:

Install PDF Expert on the new device (see Step 1).

1. Open the app and sign in with your business account:
   

• On Mac: click Continue with Business Account on the Sign-In screen during setup. If you have already finished setting up without signing in, go to the PDF Expert menu > Sign In > Continue with Business Account
  
• On iPhone or iPad: tap Continue with Business Account during setup. If you have already finished setting up, go to Settings > Account > Continue with Business Account

Enter your email and password - the ones you created in Step 2.

No second invitation email is needed.

Troubleshooting

I see free features instead of Premium.
First, make sure you are actually logged into your business account (in case an error occurred during login and you aren't logged in at all). If you are logged in, log out and then use the "Continue with Business Account" option (as described in this point).

I don't have an invitation email.
Ask your team's admin to send or resend the invitation. Also, check your spam folder.

I've hit the 3-device limit and want to switch to a new device.
Just sign in on the new device with your business credentials — the oldest signed-in device will be automatically signed out. No manual action is needed on the other devices.
