Red Software is proud to announce the release of version 2.10 of RAD PDF, the ASP.NET PDF viewer & PDF editor. This latest version includes a number of improvements for viewing and filling form fields as well as several minor bug fixes.

While seemingly minor improvements, these improvements make the transition from Adobe Reader to RAD PDF smoother than ever for form applications. In this version, DoNotScroll and field formatting improvements help ensure that forms are completed correctly. Support for form field orientation helps rotated page information appear correctly. Client API additions for button and signature fields allow custom code to provide legacy support to your PDF buttons and signatures.

This new version is provided free of charge to customers with an active Maintenance Plan.

Release Notes

UPDATE: Red Software is no longer affiliated with PDFescape.

PDFescape, our free PDF editor and form filler, is progressively getting some cosmetic updates!

New PDFescape Homepage

As we roll out these new changes over the coming weeks, regular users will notice a few things:

(1) A greater focus on getting users to our free PDF editor quicker. You'll notice a single button on our homepage that takes you directly there!

(2) Advertisements (for non-premium members) will, for the most part, only be present in the PDFescape interface itself. This strategic move will allow us to present more information and help about our products on the site itself while still being able to provide our free PDF editor free of charge.

We look forward to your feedback on our new design!

Red Software is proud to announce version 2.9 of RAD PDF, its plug-in free PDF viewer and editor for ASP.NET WebForms and MVC. This latest release includes a number of server-side integration improvements and minor bug fixes.

RAD PDF now makes integration with your infrastructure easier than ever using new storage maintenance options and added support for encrypted connection strings (via our Integration Provider). Additionally, our new sample code for MVC 3 makes integration with your non-WebForms ASP.NET web application quicker than ever.

Other minor improvements like specifying the control's BackColor, multi-line tool tip support, and minor bug fixes make this the most polished release of RAD PDF yet!

This new version is provided free of charge to customers with an active Maintenance Plan.

Thanks PCWorld for mentioning our free PDF editing and PDF form filling service, PDFescape!

While we primarily offer PDFescape because most free PDF utilities simply fall short of a user's day to day needs, Adobe Acrobat does take up a considerable amount of hard drive space (as much as 1.9 GB according to Adobe for Acrobat X Pro), as this article points out.

Red Software is proud to announce version 2.8 of RAD PDF, the popular ASP.NET PDF viewer and editor component. This latest release features new viewing options and improvements for touch based devices.

RAD PDF now supports the single page continuous page layout, a convenient document viewing mode which allows users to scroll seamlessly from one page to the next. This new viewing mode can be activated via the PdfWebControl's ViewerPageLayoutDefault property.

RAD PDF also features a number of improvements for touch based devices. Users of these devices can now more easily view, edit, and form fill PDF documents using devices with touch input.
