Getting Started with Telerik Document Processing
Telerik Document Processing includes a set of cross-platform libraries that let you import and export content between different documents formats and work with archive files. The needed assemblies come with the installation files of several Telerik suites. They are available also in the internal builds of the same Telerik suites.
More information about the suites that include Telerik Document Processing and how to install them is available in the Installing on Your Computer article.
The following tables list all Telerik Document Processing assemblies for the different platforms and their roles:
The .NET Standard assemblies are compatible with any .NET version (e.g .NET 9), even if there are no assemblies explicitly available for the specific versions. The same applies to the .NET Framework assemblies.
