Available NuGet Packages

Telerik provides NuGet packages with the assemblies for all five Document Processing libraries: RadPdfProcessing, RadSpreadProcessing, RadSpreadStreamProcessing, RadWordsProcessing, and RadZipLibrary. These UI-independent cross-platform libraries enable you to process and convert content in various formats and even work with archive files. We deliver these libraries as a complement to the Telerik UI component suites (UI for ASP.NET, Kendo UI, UI for WPF, UI for WinForms, UI for Xamarin, UI for Blazor), and you don't need to purchase an additional license to use them.

If your workflow relies on NuGet for package management, you can take advantage of the packages that we describe in this article. There is no need to download and install the Document Processing libraries by using other methods.

The old https://nuget.telerik.com/nuget server is deprecated and we encourage our clients to switch to the v3 API. The new v3 API is faster, lighter, and reduces the number of requests from NuGet clients. The NuGet v2 server at https://nuget.telerik.com/nuget will be sunset in November 2024. The new v3 protocol offers faster package searches and restores, improved security, and more reliable infrastructure. To redirect your feed to the NuGet v3 protocol, all you have to do is to change your NuGet package source URL to https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json.

This article contains the following sections:

The Telerik Document Processing libraries are available in two versions:

  • A version for .Net Framework 4.0 or later

  • A version for .Net Standard 2.0

Both versions are available as NuGet packages but with different names. The assemblies for .NET Standard do not contain the word Windows in their name.
