Release Notes

Red Software is excited to announce RAD PDF 3.38, the newest release of its ASP.NET GUI / WebControl for PDF reading, PDF form filling, PDF editing, PDF signing, securing PDF content, and more. The published NuGet now includes binaries for Windows arm64 (along with x86, x64, and Linux binaries). RAD PDF is one of the most widely compatible PDF tools on the market, with support for MVC, WebForms, Razor, Framework, Core, and more. Our browser support is unparalleled, supporting everything from Internet Explorer to the latest release of Google Chrome & iOS Safari!

This new version includes a number of important bug fixes, including a fix for a problem with images uploaded containing EXIF data. If the EXIF data contained a default rotation, some browsers could display images on screen in one orientation, but then in a different orientation in the output PDF. The viewer (like the output PDF) now displays images without any EXIF rotation.

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

Release Notes

Today, Red Software publishes RAD PDF 3.37, the web-based GUI / WebControl for PDF editing, PDF form filling, PDF reading, PDF signing and more! More compatible than ever, the ASP.NET Core / ASP.NET 5 + package for RAD PDF now uses Microsoft.Data.SqlClient internally (replacing the now legacy System.Data.SqlClient implementation), allowing RAD PDF to use the latest SQL Server features.

This new version also includes a number of minor bug fixes as well as the important security updates included with the 3.36.1 release.

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

Release Notes

Red Software is proud to announce RAD PDF 3.36, the newest version of its ASP.NET WebControl for PDF viewing, form filling, editing, signing, protecting, and more. Integrating PDF files and forms into any ASP.NET website has never been easier. Now, with page label support, page numbering in RAD PDF will appear with the same styling users see in desktop PDF viewers. This allows for alphabetical "numbering", roman numerals, custom text, and more.

Additionally, this new version improves to how radio form fields are rendered. Circle checkbox types sometimes clipped their background and highlights appeared outside of the field's border. This update improves radio fields both visually and functionally.

This release also includes a number of small mobile improvements. The object delete and properties buttons were often hard to access on mobile and have been moved to allow access on all screens. A future version will continue to improve mobile options with an updated properties dialog allowing for more fined grain control via a scrollable interface better designed for small screens.

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