We're kicking off this New Year with a Version 22 update! Previously we released the Document Editor SDK with Speech Recognition, ID Reader SDK, and added support for PDF form fields, and now we’re happy to announce another exciting update to LEADTOOLS Version 22 and our entire product line.

Highlighting this release is support for .NET 7, the ability to add eSignatures to documents and PDFs, as well as various notable updates to the Medical Web Viewer control including two brand new demos.

Adding notes, arrows, measurements, shapes, and other annotations to DICOM files for storage is extremely important when it comes to the health care industry. LEADTOOLS offers a number of methods to manipulate DICOM graphic and text annotations.

In the "Add and Save DICOM Annotations" blog, we walked through a few of the methods LEADTOOLS offers to manipulate DICOM graphic and text annotations. In this post, we will show how to set up DICOM image flags, edit and change the settings used to create DICOM annotations, and set up the presentation state identification.

We hope you've been busy exploring our entire new update to LEADTOOLS Version 22! Let's take a deep dive into the latest new feature added to the LEADTOOLS Document SDK: eSignatures. Developers using LEADTOOLS are now easily able to add electronic signatures as well as digitally sign documents without rasterizing or changing the underlying PDF.

Our support team recently worked with a customer who was having issues loading and displaying a 200-page TIFF file. Because each page of the TIFF was stored as a separate file, the size of the document was very large and it was taking too long for each page to display in the viewer. LEAD to the rescue! Using the LEADTOOLS Document Web Viewer and this simple code below, you can easily load various files into a single TIFF and the viewer takes care of rendering all of them in no time.
