I'll bet this will be a smart move on your part. :-) I really enjoy how you share your experiences of being a microISV. It'll be fun to hear how this latest venture works out. Please keep us posted.

Anders<b>e</b>n is the Danish surname. Btw, we all find it really weird that you insist on the "Hans Christian" thing. People didn't use their full first names back then unless with the closest family or if they were kids. Friends, even close friends, were on a last-name basis. In a greater sphere, to avoid confusion, the initials were used together with the last name. That's why we only know him as "H.C. Andersen". And his contemporary, the physicist, as "H.C. Ørsted".

Anderson is a Swedish surname. Andersen is the Danish surname.

So how's the pricing going to work? Are the desktop and web versions different as far as pricing is concerned? Or does buying one automatically get you access to the other? Regarding PDF generation, I usually do that with iText on the Java side (typically HTML to PDF). Still, it's funny the amount of libraries you'll find for most anything in Java, yet PDF generation is always a pain. Just feels like it should be much easier.
