RAD PDF 2.18 Released
Today, Red Software is proud to announce version 2.18 of its ASP.NET PDF viewer and editor, RAD PDF. This version includes a new page "Deskew" tool which can be used to straighten scanned PDF pages which may be just a few degrees off.
Additionally, version 2.18 includes a number of new client and server API methods. Objects can now more easily be cloned (from page to page, and even document to document) using the new CloneTo() method. The new SetPoints() method allows custom ink shapes to be added to documents server side. A new DeskewPage() method allows pages to be straightened using your own code as well.
This release also has a couple of breaking changes. Both the PdfBorder class and PdfColor class have been converted into structs for improved consistency and performance.
This new release also features a number of minor bug fixes.
This version is available free of charge to all Red Software customers with an active Maintenance Plan.

I tried to Sign Up for your PDFescape but your Captcha is too difficult for me and I cannot hear the numbers.
You guys Do Not like money or what.
You make it Too Difficult to sign up. Please correc that for other people who might like to sign up.
Hi Garry, Sorry to hear you're having trouble. We use Google's reCAPTCHA. It is a very widely used, well tested CAPTCHA mechanism. If the text is too hard to read, reCAPTCHA also offers an auditory option. Simply clear the speaker icon to the right. Either can be used.
Dear publishers!
At document edition, the Times New Roman font gives out mistakes
When I download the document, in a browser gives out instead of the text "? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?"
Please, correct!
Thanks for opportunity to edit documents!
Very useful program!
Hi Aleksandr,
We don't have any reports of issues with Times New Roman with regards to this version or others. Most likely, you're using characters which are simply not included in the Times New Roman font's character set. You'll need to either (a) use characters which are included in the font or (b) use a font which supports the characters you need. In general, we recommend Arial (as RAD PDF has built in support for Arial Unicode MS, if installed, which has some of the broadest character support). If you continue to have issues, please open a support ticket at support.redsoftware.com and be sure to include the PDF in question as well as the exact text you're trying to add.
