Today, Red Software updates its ASP.NET / ASP.NET Core / ASP.NET 5 web component RAD PDF, a leading PDF editing, PDF form filling, and PDF signing GUI.

This release is also now available via a NuGet for all supported platforms, including .NET Framework 3.5 / 4.x, .NET Core, and .NET 5! Our latest NuGet package helps streamline integrations, updates, and deployments.

With the introduction of the NuGet package, we have also made it easier to get started with sample code by cloning our GitHub repository for the latest examples of how to use RAD PDF.

This update also includes some minor bug fixes including an issue when using form fields with iOS 12 or earlier.

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

Release Notes

Red Software is excited to release RAD PDF 3.22, the ASP.NET / ASP.NET Core / ASP.NET 5 Web Control for reading, printing, editing, filling, signing, and more with PDF files in almost any web browser!

This latest version allows RAD PDF to be deployed with server side page rendering, but without the RAD PDF System Service. This allows for tighter PDF file protection and faster rendering of large files when  deploying / developing using our nuget for a single instance. Implementations are now a breeze when using Azure App Services, ASP.NET 5, and similar environments.

With ASP.NET Core / ASP.NET 5, RAD PDF can now be configured to not use the RAD PDF System Service with a single line of code in a Setup.cs class:

app.UseRadPdf(new RadPdfCoreMiddlewareSettings() { UseService = false });

This UseService=false can also be used in the .NET Framework or .NET Core integration provider. HttpHandler rendering can be disabled by setting AllowHttpHandlerRendering=false.

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