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!

Today, Red Software announces a new "Deskew" tool for its free PDF editor, PDFescape. As many people know, scanned documents don't always come out as perfect PDFs. One of the most common problems, a skewed page. We're proud to announce that PDFescape now provides a free solution to that problem!

PDFescape's new free PDF straightening tool

This new free PDF tool is found on the "Page" tab of the PDFescape interface (you may also need to click the "More" button to reveal it). Once activated, it allows users to quickly draw a line indicating what should be the page's horizontal alignment. Simply confirm the angle of adjustment and presto, your PDF is now straight!

This new tool is available now to all PDFescape users, free of charge.

Red Software is excited to announce version 2.17 of its ASP.NET PDF viewer and editor, RAD PDF. With the new Opacity property, RAD PDF can now create semi-transparent objects. Using the GUI, Client API, or Server API, you can overlay text, create complex graphics, apply watermarks, and more.

Client API improvements and the addition of resource strings (for both current and future use) make RAD PDF easier than ever to integrate into your web application. Also, an updated code sample better illustrates the power of the Client API and its ability to implement a custom interface.

This new release also features a number of minor bug fixes.

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

We were very excited to provide our free PDF tool to our first ten million patrons and look forward to providing it free of charge to the next ten million in need of a free PDF editor!
