Red Software is proud to announce the release of version 2.6 of the ASP.NET PDF viewer and editor, RAD PDF. This latest version features a large number of updates to the Client API (allowing for tighter integration with the PdfWebControl) including the ability to find form fields by name.

RAD PDF now loads TIFF documents, automatically detecting them, converting them to PDF, and opening them in RAD PDF's interface. This optional feature allows image based documents to be easily viewed and edited along side PDF ones.

Form field calculation support is also enhanced by accommodating additional PDF JavaScript execution and formats. Previously, only basic sum, average, multiplication, max, and min calculations could be performed. Version 2.6 brings supports for most Adobe Acrobat calculations using more complicated formulas in "Simplified field notation".

This new version is provided free of charge to all customers with an active Maintenance Plan.
