Cross-Platform Support
Telerik Document Processing comes with .NET Core & .NET Standard support. There is a set of binaries built against the .NET Core & .NET Standard which you can reference in an application.
The binaries compatible with .NET Standard are distributed with the packages targeting .NET Standard and .NET Core. You can get the assemblies through the UI for ASP.NET Core, UI for Blazor, UI for Xamarin, and UI for WinUI suites. There are NuGet packages as well that you can access if you have a license for one of the above mentioned suites.
