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

Today, Red Software announces version 3.19 of of the ASP.NET / ASP.NET Core / ASP.NET 5 Web Control for reading, printing, editing, filling, and signing PDF files, RAD PDF! This release focuses on new mobile features and rendering improvements.

(The new DisableTouchGestures property allows these touch gestures to be turned off.)

This update also fixes a bug with markup annotations using non-ASCII text and improves the rendering speed (and overhead) of PDF pages containing JPEG 2000 images.

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