Red Software is excited to add a new opacity feature to the free PDF editor, PDFescape. This new feature enables users to add partially transparent shapes and text to a PDF. Perfect for comments, advanced graphics, and watermarks, this new feature is available free of charge to all PDFescape users.

To set an object's opacity, simply right click the object. Then, select Object Properties... to display the object's properties dialog. Finally, enter the desired value and click OK. The object's opacity is specified in percent, from 0% (fully transparent) to 100% (fully opaque).

Red Software is excited to announce version 2.16 of its ASP.NET PDF editor, RAD PDF. This release includes a number of new features including the ability for users to add, arrange, and delete bookmarks (or outlines as the PDF specification calls them).

RAD PDF's Bookmark Tool

Along with the new bookmark tools, RAD PDF 2.16 adds new client side API classes for manipulating PDF info and security. Additionally, users can now optionally tab from page to page using their keyboard.

This new version 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.

Release Notes

Red Software is proud to announce version 2.9 of RAD PDF, its plug-in free PDF viewer and editor for ASP.NET WebForms and MVC. This latest release includes a number of server-side integration improvements and minor bug fixes.

RAD PDF now makes integration with your infrastructure easier than ever using new storage maintenance options and added support for encrypted connection strings (via our Integration Provider). Additionally, our new sample code for MVC 3 makes integration with your non-WebForms ASP.NET web application quicker than ever.

Other minor improvements like specifying the control's BackColor, multi-line tool tip support, and minor bug fixes make this the most polished release of RAD PDF yet!

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