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!

For regular users of PDFescape, the free PDF editor and free PDF form filler, some major user interface improvements. Most notably:

Adding new objects to PDF files is even easier with the new "click to add" tools. Creating multiple objects, typing on PDF files, creating PDF forms, and filling out PDF forms is faster and more intuitive.

Object position tools are a bit snappier. The internal stack for PDFescape has been overhauled allowing for faster response in older browsers.

And, after several months of only providing support to Firefox , we are proud to announce that all supported PDFescape browsers can now select (and copy)  text.



These new features take effect on all PDFescape user accounts immediately.

Red Software is proud to announce office support for Google Chrome in PDFescape.




Having proven itself to be a major industry browser, PDFescape, the free PDF editor, now supports Google's browser, Chrome.

Additionally, a bug in PDFescape has been corrected. This bug caused some European characters (such as À, Å, Ñ etc.) to not be properly output into exported or printed PDF files.

This bug has been corrected and we welcome back all affected European users to PDFescape. We apologize for the inconvenience.
