    Image caching in PDF

    Over the past few days I worked on an image caching mechanism in the PDF Rendering Extension and I am happy to announce that the achieved output size reduction was more than significant.

    Another year, another 10 awards from asp.netPRO Magazine

    Just found out (from Telerik's homepage:) that we have done pretty well in this year's asp.netPRO Reader's Choice Awards - 10 awards overall, one in each category in which we participated. Even though there's nothing more gratifying than a demanding, happy customer, the fact that we've collected 2 dozen asp.netPRO awards in the last 3 years is a reason to open up a bottle of champagne. I would like to thank all of you who voted for us! Thank you so much! We appreciate every single effort you guys make - from voting in the annual magazine awards, to submitting a bug or...
