RAD PDF - Interactive Demonstrations

Basic Demo | Customized PDF Viewer | Integration | PDF Document Editor | PDF Form Filler

In this example, we use the RAD PDF server-side Saved event to get the saved PDF and notify the Windows Event Log about this newly saved file. We also use the Client API to add a custom image tool which automatically sets the image used to a signature file selected server-side. Showing of the versatility of the PdfIntegrationProvider, we also have setup an image tool which allows the placement of a dynamically generated image. Both "tools" are available as clickable links below the PdfWebControl instance.
