The Version 7 BETA of DynamicPDF Generator and Merger is now up on our site for download and testing, here.

We are happy to announce the full release of Dynamic PDF Core Suite v7.0 (including Merger, Generator and ReportWriter). Thank you to everyone who helped with the beta testing!

DynamicPDF Generator has lots of predefined page elements which allow you to easily create different types of content, but you may occasionally have a need to do something that is not available in the API by default. Custom page elements is an easy way to extend the API to achieve these results.

A head's up to all you DynamicPDF COM/ActiveX users out there...we just put the version 7 Beta up on our site for downloading and testing, here.

We recently released an update that introduces AES-256 bit and AES-128 bit encryption to our .NET PDF creation and merging library. We have offered encryption since 2002, but this was limited to RC4-40 bit and RC4-128 bit security until this release. We have also restructured the API a bit in order to easily accommodate new encryption methods in the future.

The 7.0.1 update of DynamicPDF Core Suite for .NET (Generator, Merger and ReportWriter) has now been released on our website (download it here). This update addresses a few bug fixes, enhancements and depreciated items but the functionality that takes center stage here is the new encryption algorithms that have been added. Version 7.0.1 has added support for AES 128-bit and 256-bit encryption algorithms as well as crypt filters. We will elaborate on these new encryption features in a future post but for now, take a look at the Help Library's page:

We are proud to announce that our DynamicPDF Product line is now 10 years old! DynamicPDF Generator for COM/ActiveX (now DynamicPDF Generator Classic) was released in mid June 2002 and the first sale was on June 28th, 2002.

I have been using an Android phone for a few years now, and one day I decided I should try to write an Android application using our DynamicPDF Generator for Java. So I decided to start off with a simple "Hello World" application based on the DynamicPDF Generator hello world PDF java example provided with the Generator product.

We get a decent amount of people who ask us about dynamically splitting a PDF. Splitting a PDF document using DynamicPDF Merger for .Net is a very simple task. With the few lines of code the document can be split efficiently at the desired page. Use of PdfDocument object allows for efficient reuse of imported PDF document data. If the same PDF needs to be reused in multiple parts of the application, load the PDF into a PdfDocument object and use it where ever needed. Also the PdfDocument object is designed to be thread safe.

DynamicPDF Core Suite for .NET v7 is now released! Thanks to everyone who participated in the beta testing and helped make this release a success. The full press release can be found here.
