Release Notes

This update includes additional mobile improvements to improve pinch-to-zoom, including enhancements for Android and fixes for "choppy" zooming on some devices.

A new BasePath property has been added to the PdfWebControl and PdfWebControlLite so that an optional subdirectory or URL can be provided for RAD PDF request routing.

A new ServicePdfLiteSessionProvider implementation allows the RAD PDF System Service to be used for Lite Document session management. This is an off-the-shelf alternative for customers who don't want to use IIS session management. Customers of course can make custom implementations as well.

Release Notes

This update also fixes a bug with markup annotations using non-ASCII text and improves the rendering speed (and overhead) of PDF pages containing JPEG 2000 images.

Release Notes

Version 3.18.5 provides out-of-the-box compatibility with .NET 5's new security defaults and is a recommended update for all customers. This release changes the default Lite Document session serializer to the new PdfLiteSessionSerializer, a secure replacement for the previous default, BinaryFormatter. At this time, PdfLiteSessionSerializer will fallback to BinaryFormatter to maximize compatibility. This can be further secured (and will be the default in a future release) by using another secure formatter / serializer or by setting the static property:

PdfLiteSession.DefaultFormatter = new PdfLiteSessionSerializer(false);

Additionally, this release also includes minor bug fixes and other improvements.

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

Release Notes

A new Client API "objectKeypress" event has been added, allowing for RAD PDF implementations to limit user input for each keystroke (e.g. limit a field to numeric input only).

Additionally, this new version includes a rendering bug fix, our nuget now includes a BETA implementation for ASP.NET Core on Linux, and other minor improvements.

Release Notes

Red Software is excited to announce version version 3.17 of RAD PDF, the ASP.NET / ASP.NET Core Web Control for reading, printing, editing, filling, signing, and now certifying PDF files!

This release includes a new "Redo" option for users of the GUI allowing users to both undo and redo their actions. Redo can be invoked via the Client API, Edit menu, or CTRL-Y shortcut.

The PdfSignatureShape popup now also resizes itself better for mobile use. Previously, screens narrower than 520px did not show the popup correctly.

Additionally, this new version includes new certification options for ASP.NET Core and other minor improvements.

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

Release Notes

This latest release includes the ability to certify documents by digitally signing them with RSA / X.509 certificates. Utilizing asymmetric (public-key) cryptography, this allows third parties to detect changes made to the document after saving it by verifying a digital "signature" (in supported PDF viewers). The new CertifyUsing property can be used to select a PKCS #12 certificate file or other X.509 certificate (with a private key) which will be used to "sign" the PDF output. You can also use the new PdfTimeStamper to add a time stamp when certifying the document.

Additionally, this new version includes undo improvements, improved exception messaging, and other minor improvements.

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

Release Notes

Additionally, data URLs can now be used to set images or append files, allowing for easier integration with custom image source integrations.

Lite Documents can now also be appended to another Lite Document instance, allowing for more flexible document merging.

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

Release Notes

• ASP.NET Core improvements - use RAD PDF without Synchronous IO
• GetPaths() method added to PdfSignatureShape - retrieve drawn signatures as paths
• Render At Client improvements - JS errors in rendering falls back to server and Range support
• Undo support - users can now undo PDF changes in the GUI

Additionally, this new version includes file upload improvements (file type filters) and several bug fixes.
