Release Notes

Red Software is excited to offer version 2.31 of the ASP.NET PDF viewer, editor, form filler, and annotator, RAD PDF. Most importantly, this release adds support for rendering thumbnails as needed, reducing server side loads for long documents. This new feature is enabled by default and can be controlled using the RenderThumbnailsOnDemand property.

Additionally, users can now use keyboard shortcuts to access common features and dialogs in RAD PDF like saving and printing. This new feature is enabled by default and can be controlled using the DisableKeyboardShortcuts property.

Version 2.31 also includes a number minor bug fixes and other enhancements.

This version is available free of charge to all Red Software customers with an active RAD PDF Maintenance Plan.

Release Notes

Today, Red Software releases version 2.22 of RAD PDF, the ASP.NET PDF reader and PDF editor. This update includes a number of new and exciting features including:

• RenderOnDemand - RAD PDF now optionally renders pages as they are needed. Previous versions of RAD PDF rendered all pages sequentially, often forcing users to wait up to a minute or two for the last page in a very long document. This new feature allows page 100 to load just as quickly as page 1.
• GroupThumbnails - RAD PDF now optionally renders thumbnails even quicker by grouping thumbnails together and reducing the number of HTTP requests.

These new features make RAD PDF even more capable of loading large PDF documents as pages can be rendered out of order making it quick and easy for your users to jump from page 1 to page 101 back to page 70.

This release also includes logging improvements as well as minor bug fixes.

This version is available free of charge to all Red Software customers with an active Maintenance Plan.

Release Notes

Here at Red Software, we're proud to announce the release of RAD PDF 2.19! This newest version of our ASP.NET PDF editor and PDF viewer includes an improved PDF renderer, support for SQL Server's ISO data types (nvarchar(max) and nvarbinary(max)), as well as numerous API improvements.

Our updated PDF renderer helps text and images to appear crisper and more accurate, even on mobile devices. Rigorously tested over the last 6 months, these improvements also help improve rendering performance in many cases, particularly when embedded raster images need to be scaled to the viewer (a common need for PDF files created using a scanner).

Support for SQL Server's ISO data types nvarchar(max) and nvarbinary(max) not only ensures RAD PDF's compatibility with future versions of SQL Server (as ntext and image have been deprecated), but also allows database administrators to use SQL Server's FILESTREAM feature to store RAD PDF data outside of the database files, instead on file system. We're excited to provide this much requested feature for those with large RAD PDF implementations or those with large PDF documents in storage.

Additionally, this new version provides a number of bug fixes as well as new client and server API methods.

This version is available free of charge to all Red Software customers with an active Maintenance Plan.
