Red Software is proud to announce version 2.20 of RAD PDF, the ASP.NET PDF editor and viewer. This release focuses primarily on API enhancements and minor bug fixes.

First, the new Search() method added to the PdfDocumentEditor class allows for server side PDF searching. With this method, you can search a document for key words and terms directly from C# or VB.NET.

Second, the new MaxPdfPageWidth and MaxPdfPageHeight properties allow your PdfWebControl instances to limit the maximum page size or dimensions which should be loaded. With these properties, RAD PDF can be configured to throw an exception if a PdfWebControl instance tries to render a page with a width or height over the set limit.

Additionally, new bug fixes improve the rendering of some PDF documents and provide a work around for a bug found in Internet Explorer 11 which prevented proper tabbing.

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