This version includes .NET 8+ improvements, rendering improvements, and security upgrades. Enhancements have been added for adding transparent PNG files with unexpectedly small palettes.

Inline with Microsoft marking IFormatter and all of its related Serialization classes as obsolete, we have done the same and the PdfLiteSessionSerializer class has been marked Obsolete. We've added new DeserializeFromJson(string) and SerializeToJson() methods to PdfLiteSession, allowing for safer serialization.

RAD PDF 4.0's Modern ThemeDon't worry, even though RAD PDF 4.0 features a number of changes, our Classic interface can be easily displayed using the Theme="Classic" property. All other existing features are fully compatible with this new major version.
As always, we minimized the breaking changes (spoiler: there aren't any, besides the new default Theme), we improved security, and we adapted RAD PDF for the latest browser versions.
Newly added themes are color neutral; they seamlessly integrate the latest features with the new interface.
This version improves PDF repairing, allowing RAD PDF to open even damaged PDF files. New API properties allow the RAD PDF interface to be additionally customized, exposing advanced features like automatic path merging and more.
