RAD PDF 3.48 Released

Red Software is proud to announce RAD PDF 3.48, the newest release of its ASP.NET WebControl, a drop-in component for PDF reading, PDF form filling, PDF editing, PDF redaction, PDF signing, PDF content protection, and more. Compatible with the .NET Framework 3.5+ and ready for ASP.NET 9, RAD PDF continues to have wider platform and browser support than any other web-based PDF editor.

PDF Annotations in RAD PDF

This new version adds support for squiggly annotation objects. These annotations, similar to underline annotations, can be used to mark up PDF text. Like other PDF annotations in RAD PDF, the PdfSquigglyAnnotation class allows for client side and server side access and application integration.

This release extends NuGet support for ARM, improves security when rendering PDF files at client, and fixes a few minor bugs.

This update is available free of charge to all customers with an active Maintenance Plan.

Release Notes

RAD PDF 3.43 Released

Red Software is excited to announce RAD PDF 3.43, the newest release of its ASP.NET GUI / WebControl for PDF viewing, PDF form filling, PDF editing, PDF redaction, PDF signing, securing PDF content, and more. CspSaferRendering now also disables direct execution of PDF JavaScript, making it easier than ever for your RAD PDF implementation to comply with you Content Security Policy. Even with PDF JavaScript disabled (e.g. CspSaferRendering or DisablePdfJavaScript is true), RAD PDF can still parse the most common calculation and formatting scripts, safely computing them without direct JavaScript execution!

Free Text Annotations can now be added by the GUI, Client API and Server API. These annotations are often used for user editable "Typewriter" style text, etc.

This update also includes RAD PDF System Service improvements. The default memory footprint of the service has been reduced. It now also supports multiple reads of the same object from disk concurrently.

This new version includes a number of important bug fixes, including errors related to annotation opacity and redaction.

This update is available free of charge to all customers with an active Maintenance Plan.

Release Notes

RAD PDF 2.30 Released

Red Software is proud to announce version 2.30 of RAD PDF, the ASP.NET PDF form fill, PDF editor, PDF reader, and PDF annotator. This new version includes new annotations tools, allowing for users to more easily markup text in PDF documents.

Easily annotate text, click to try the online demo.

RAD PDF now supports the addition of:

  • Caret annotations (indicator for inserting text)
  • Strikeout annotations (sometimes called strikethrough)
  • Underline annotations

These new annotation types (as well as the existing highlight annotation tool) now also detect text in the PDF document, smartly applying the annotations to the words in the document (text selection must not be disabled by the document settings). Additionally, all markup annotations (not just sticky notes) can have popups with additional text associated.

The text insertion tool has also been improved, making use of the tool on the same line more intuitive.

This release also includes 64-bit operation improvements and several bug fixes.

This version is available free of charge to all Red Software customers with an active RAD PDF Maintenance Plan.
