Describe Getting started
DynDyn.Pdf turns a PDF filing into an HTML page you can open in any web browser. Unlike a screenshot or a scanned page, the text in that HTML page stays real text — you can select it, search it, resize it, and a screen reader or a regulator's viewer can read it. That's the whole point: an ESEF filing has to stay live text, not a picture of one.
This page walks through everything before your first conversion: creating an account, joining or setting up an organisation, getting hold of a licence, and getting the software installed.
What you get
A DynDyn.Pdf conversion produces a single, self-contained HTML file. It looks like the original PDF, but the words on the page are still words — not pixels. See Converting a document for what a good result looks like and how to check one.
Creating an account
Open the portal and register with your email address and a password (at least 12 characters). You're signed in immediately afterwards — there's no separate email-confirmation step to wait for.
Your organisation
When you register, the portal automatically creates a personal organisation for you and makes you its Owner. An organisation is the account that holds your licences and your subscription. DynDyn.Pdf is single-seat — the organisation created for you at registration is yours alone, for its whole life, and there's no way to add anyone else to it or to join someone else's — see Organisations and users for what that means in practice.
Where your licence comes from
The software won't convert anything until it's activated with a licence. Your organisation's Owner or Admin gets one of these, from the Licences screen:
- A time-limited Evaluation licence, which they can generate themselves — one per organisation, ever, so it's worth saving for when you're ready to actually try the product.
- A licence tied to a paid subscription, Starter or Pro, started from the Billing screen.
- An Enterprise licence, arranged directly with DynDyn.Pdf's sales team rather than self-serve.

Getting the software onto a machine
Downloads for every supported platform are on the Downloads screen. Pick the build for your operating system and install it. If your organisation has IT support, they'll usually handle this step and the activation that follows it.
Your first conversion
Running a conversion is a command-line task today, which makes it a job for a developer or IT contact — see /docs/cli for how. If you'd like to see the product work on a single file before involving anyone technical, look for the "Try it" demo linked from the portal's navigation — it needs nothing installed.
When it goes wrong
Most first-run problems are covered in Converting a document, including what a bad result looks like and what usually causes it. If you're stuck, contact us with the file and a short description of what you expected to see.
