Red Software is proud to announce RAD PDF 3.36, the newest version of its ASP.NET WebControl for PDF viewing, form filling, editing, signing, protecting, and more. Integrating PDF files and forms into any ASP.NET website has never been easier. Now, with page label support, page numbering in RAD PDF will appear with the same styling users see in desktop PDF viewers. This allows for alphabetical "numbering", roman numerals, custom text, and more.

Additionally, this new version improves to how radio form fields are rendered. Circle checkbox types sometimes clipped their background and highlights appeared outside of the field's border. This update improves radio fields both visually and functionally.

This release also includes a number of small mobile improvements. The object delete and properties buttons were often hard to access on mobile and have been moved to allow access on all screens. A future version will continue to improve mobile options with an updated properties dialog allowing for more fined grain control via a scrollable interface better designed for small screens.

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

Release Notes

Red Software is excited to announce RAD PDF 3.12, its newest ASP.NET (and ASP.NET Core) PDF web control / GUI (graphical user interface). The PDF reader, editor, form filler, and signature tools can now use client rendering (RenderAtClient) to print and search documents, allowing for all RAD PDF resources to be rendered client-side in modern browsers (and potentially without needing the RAD PDF System Service).

Radio button improvements and bug fixes are also implemented in this latest version. Some radio fields were incorrectly identified as checkbox fields and the NoToggleToOff flag is no longer assumed to always be set for radio fields.

This update also features a number of bug fixes including touch screen improvements and a work around for printing in Edge.

Additionally, Production Licenses have been renamed Server Licenses. Functionally, the licenses are the same, but we believe better communicates RAD PDF's licensing policies. If you have any questions, please contact Red Software.

This release is available free of charge to all RAD PDF licensees with an active Maintenance Plan.
