Red Software is proud to announce the latest addition to its free PDF editor, PDFescape, Premium Accounts.

For a limited time, PDFescape Premium is available to all users of PDFescape. This exciting new program includes:

• An ad-free workspace (more pleasant experience and larger).
• A flat fee of $10 per year.
• No automatic billing or renewals.
• Free addition of new, to-be-announced perks for Premium users in the future.

For users not wishing to upgrade, nothing is changing. PDFescape's PDF editor is still 100% free. No watermarks. No gimmicks.

UPDATE: Red Software is no longer affiliated with PDFescape, but this feature is still available in our RAD PDF technology. Edit your PDF with our online implementation, free of charge! (50 MB / 2500 page per file limits)

Red Software is proud to announce that the maximum allowed file size for its free PDF editor, PDFescape, has been increased from 2 MB (megabytes) to 5 MB per file.

More than double the limit put in place by Google Docs for PDF files*, this file size limit increase allows users of our free PDF editing and form filling service to open larger, more graphic rich PDF files and forms.

*Currently, Google Docs imposes a 2 MB limit for all PDF files you wish to open in Google Docs. (Google calls this a "conversion" to Google Docs, however it only allows basic PDF viewing, text selection, and searching. PDFescape offers these features too, in addition to form filling, PDF editing, PDF form creation, and many more which Google Docs does not.)

Red Software is proud to announce a new Google Chrome extension for our free PDF editor and free PDF form filler, PDFescape.

This new extension makes it easy to open and edit PDF files found while browsing the web using Google Chrome. When a PDF link is clicked, a drop down appears asking if that PDF should be opened and able to be edited / form filled in PDFescape.

Our new extension is available in Google's Chrome Gallery:
