Red Software is excited to release an update to its ASP.NET PDF viewer, editor, form, and signature component, RAD PDF.

This update includes additional mobile improvements to improve pinch-to-zoom, including enhancements for Android and fixes for "choppy" zooming on some devices.

A new BasePath property has been added to the PdfWebControl and PdfWebControlLite so that an optional subdirectory or URL can be provided for RAD PDF request routing.

A new ServicePdfLiteSessionProvider implementation allows the RAD PDF System Service to be used for Lite Document session management. This is an off-the-shelf alternative for customers who don't want to use IIS session management. Customers of course can make custom implementations as well.

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

Release Notes

Red Software is proud to announce version 3.18 of the ASP.NET / ASP.NET Core Web Control for reading, printing, editing, filling, and signing PDF files, RAD PDF! This release focuses on making the objects in RAD PDF easier to create and work with. PdfObjects can now be created via their own constructors and PdfFields each support a Value property allowing for the easy importing and exporting of form data.

A new Client API "objectKeypress" event has been added, allowing for RAD PDF implementations to limit user input for each keystroke (e.g. limit a field to numeric input only).

Additionally, this new version includes a rendering bug fix, our nuget now includes a BETA implementation for ASP.NET Core on Linux, and other minor improvements.

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

Release Notes

Red Software is proud to announce version version 3.16 of the ASP.NET / ASP.NET Core Web Control for reading, printing, editing, filling, signing, and now certifying PDF files, RAD PDF!

This latest release includes the ability to certify documents by digitally signing them with RSA / X.509 certificates. Utilizing asymmetric (public-key) cryptography, this allows third parties to detect changes made to the document after saving it by verifying a digital "signature" (in supported PDF viewers). The new CertifyUsing property can be used to select a PKCS #12 certificate file or other X.509 certificate (with a private key) which will be used to "sign" the PDF output. You can also use the new PdfTimeStamper to add a time stamp when certifying the document.

Additionally, this new version includes undo improvements, improved exception messaging, and other minor improvements.

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

Release Notes

Red Software is excited to announce version 3.15 of RAD PDF, the ASP.NET (and ASP.NET Core) component for PDF viewing, editing, form filling, signing and more! With this update, client side rendering now better matches server rendering when using unsupported features, and server side rendering has also been improved, particularly when rendering "striped" images.

Additionally, data URLs can now be used to set images or append files, allowing for easier integration with custom image source integrations.

Lite Documents can now also be appended to another Lite Document instance, allowing for more flexible document merging.

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