Red Software is proud to announce that PDFescape, the most powerful online free PDF editor, continues to add new features as we move into the new year!
First up, we've made some back end improvements to help the growing user base of PDFescape. We hope that the millions of you using PDFescape continue to enjoy our free PDF product.
Second, we've started adding more advanced features to PDFescape.

These font metrics allow users to both design more accurate PDF document, but fill out PDF forms with tricky spacing as well.

ASP.NET in Announcements, RAD PDF PDFescape Improvements
Wednesday, September 28, 2011 at 3:24PM UPDATE: Red Software is no longer affiliated with PDFescape, but these features are still available in our RAD PDF technology. Edit your PDF with our online implementation, free of charge!
Red Software would like to thank all of the avid users of its free PDF editor and PDF form filler, PDFescape, who continue to report issues, big and small! Your continued feedback has helped us roll out a number of improvements and tweaks to our free PDF editing service.
Two of the more notable improvements are:
- New on the fly corrupt PDF repairs. Web services don't usually brag about compatibly, but because the PDF specification is so complex and implemented in so many various ways, even Adobe struggles with some PDF files. We're proud to be able to say that with these improvements, testing has shown that over 99.9% of documents users attempt to view, should open without issue.
- Improved PDF form field filling. PDFescape has supported field tabbing for some time, but now checkbox, radio, dropdown, and list form fields can be tabbed to and controlled from your keyboard (use space-bar to toggle a checkbox and your arrow keys to select an option from a dropdown or list).
Thank you for your continued help making PDFescape the most complete, reliable, and free PDF editor available!
