Release Notes

Red Software is proud to announce version 2.9 of RAD PDF, its plug-in free PDF viewer and editor for ASP.NET WebForms and MVC. This latest release includes a number of server-side integration improvements and minor bug fixes.

RAD PDF now makes integration with your infrastructure easier than ever using new storage maintenance options and added support for encrypted connection strings (via our Integration Provider). Additionally, our new sample code for MVC 3 makes integration with your non-WebForms ASP.NET web application quicker than ever.

Other minor improvements like specifying the control's BackColor, multi-line tool tip support, and minor bug fixes make this the most polished release of RAD PDF yet!

This new version is provided free of charge to customers with an active Maintenance Plan.

RAD PDF 2.0 inserting a dynamic server side created image

RAD PDF 2.0 features tighter integration with web applications, improved performance, and significantly more powerful APIs.

The new RAD PDF PdfIntegrationProvider allows PDF editing, saving, printing, downloading, and searching to be intercepted and controlled server side, allowing for easier and more secure custom PDF workflows. For example, with RAD PDF 2.0, you can intercept a PDF print event, decide whether a user has permission to print that file and if so, dynamically tag the printed output with today's date and the user's name.

The new PdfObjectDataContext class allows for integration with custom image and signature repositories, or on the fly generated data which can be inserted by a user into an existing PDF.

The new PdfStorageAdapter class makes extraction of useful data from RAD PDF even easier, both internal and external to your web application.

All without any client side software being installed (not even Adobe Reader or flash), RAD PDF continues to provide the most advanced and most flexible PDF web solution available.
