Telerik Document Processing is a suite of document processing libraries designed for web, desktop and cross-platform .NET applications. It enables developers to create, read, edit, and convert a wide range of document formats, including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, ZIP and HTML, without relying on external software such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat. These libraries are independent from the user interface (UI) and are built for high performance and accuracy, providing convenient APIs that give flexibility and control so you can integrate document processing capabilities into your applications with only a few lines of code.
The Telerik Document Processing Libraries 2025 Q2 (2025.2.520) update adds Optical Character Recognition (OCR) support to the PDFProcessing library, enabling developers to extract machine-readable text from scanned PDFs and images directly within .NET applications. This functionality facilitates the conversion of previously inaccessible content, such as scanned contracts, forms or handwritten notes, into editable and searchable machine-encoded text, providing users with extracted text along with a PDF containing the image with selectable text. By integrating OCR capabilities, developers can now streamline data extraction and analysis tasks, reducing the need for manual data entry and improving overall efficiency in handling diverse document types.
