With over 1,700 attendees, the event brought developers, architects, and technology leaders from across the country together to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and connect with the community. ### What We Showcased At our booth, we showcased the latest TX Text Control features and demonstrated how our technology helps developers integrate document processing, editing, PDF generation, and electronic signatures into their applications. Visitors were especially interested in: - **Interactive document editing in ASP.NET Core and Linux**: Live demos of our fully integrated editor running in modern web apps. - **PDF generation**: Discover the latest features for creating and manipulating PDF documents. - **Electronic Signatures**: See how easy it is to integrate e-signatures into your applications. The conversations we had at our booth were inspiring. They provided valuable insights into how developers use document technologies in real-world scenarios. ### Key Takeaways We noticed an interesting trend: The growing demand to move away from a specific PDF solution that was recently acquired. Since then, prices have increased significantly, leaving many customers dissatisfied with the cost and the product's new strategic direction. Consequently, organizations are exploring alternatives that offer stability, transparency, and long-term value. This creates an excellent opportunity for TX Text Control, as it provides a powerful, reliable, and future-proof solution that meets these needs perfectly. In addition to the technical demos, KCDC was an opportunity to connect with many of you in person. We had countless discussions, answered questions, and enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere of this fantastic developer event. We'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Stay tuned as we post impressions from the booth and the conference floor right here.
