Manage PDF Documents More Efficiently

May 7, 2026

Add built-in PDF manipulation tools to merge, split, compress, and reorganize documents without relying on external software.

PDF manipulation allow applications to create, modify, and manage PDF documents programmatically or through integrated user interfaces. These features support a wide range of document workflows, from reorganizing pages to extracting information and optimizing file sizes. By incorporating PDF manipulation tools directly into applications, developers can support more efficient document processing without relying on external software.

Common features include:

Compressing PDFs which reduces file sizes to make documents easier to store, transfer, and share while maintaining acceptable visual quality.
Deleting pages from a PDF enables users to remove unnecessary or sensitive content from existing documents.
Adding pages to a PDF allows new pages to be inserted into documents to expand or reorganise content.
Merging PDFs combines multiple PDF files into a single document, simplifying document management and distribution.
Splitting PDFs separates a document into smaller files, helping users isolate sections or distribute content more efficiently.
Extracting content allows users to retrieve text, images, or other embedded information from PDFs for reuse, analysis, or indexing purposes.
Managing metadata provides tools for viewing and updating document properties such as author details, titles, keywords, and creation dates.

Insert Rows Without Breaking Data

April 24, 2026

Add new rows dynamically while preserving formulas, formatting, and references to keep spreadsheets accurate and consistent.

Inserting rows in spreadsheet components enables users to expand and reorganize data dynamically within a worksheet. It supports common data management tasks such as adding new records, adjusting layouts, and maintaining structured datasets without disrupting existing content. By integrating row insertion directly through APIs, applications can offer a familiar and efficient spreadsheet experience for users working with tabular data.

Several ASP.NET Core spreadsheet controls offer support for inserting rows including:

DevExpress ASP.NET Core Spreadsheet (part of DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor) enables row insertion through both UI interactions and server-side APIs.
Aspose.Cells for .NET provides programmatic control over row insertion, allowing developers to insert rows at specific positions while maintaining styles.
Telerik Spread Processing Library supports inserting rows in generated or processed documents, with logic to preserve data integrity and update references.
Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Spreadsheet (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) offers both client-side and server-side row insertion.

Reduce Errors with Controlled Inputs

April 22, 2026

Provide predefined value lists to help users select valid entries quickly, improving accuracy and reducing validation overhead.

Dropdowns and lists provide structured ways for users to select and manage values within grids, forms, or tables. By constraining input to predefined options, these controls help maintain data consistency, reduce entry errors, and improve overall usability. They are commonly used in business applications where accuracy and efficiency are important, such as configuration panels, data management tools, and enterprise systems.

Common features include:

Combobox combines text input with a dropdown list, allowing users to either select from predefined values or enter custom data.
Checked Combobox extends this by enabling multiple selections through checkboxes within the dropdown.
Image Combobox enhances visual recognition by displaying icons or images alongside each option.
Listbox presents a scrollable list of items for single or multiple selection within a fixed area.
Checked Listbox adds checkbox support to allow users to select multiple items more clearly.
Image Listbox incorporates images into list items, helping users quickly identify and differentiate between options.

Remove Sensitive Data from PDFs

April 20, 2026

Implement PDF redaction in ASP.NET Core applications to protect sensitive information and prevent access to confidential data.

PDF redaction is the process of permanently removing sensitive or confidential information from a document so that it cannot be recovered or viewed. Unlike simple visual masking, true redaction deletes the underlying content, ensuring it is not accessible through copying, searching, or metadata extraction. This capability is essential for regulatory compliance, data protection, and secure document sharing, particularly in industries that handle personal, financial, or legal information.

Several ASP.NET Core PDF components allow you to redact PDFs, including:

Document Solutions for PDF by MESCIUS provides a .NET API that enables developers to define and apply redaction regions and permanently remove sensitive content from PDFs.
ImageGear for .NET by Accusoft includes redaction annotations allowing applications to mark and obscure confidential information within documents.
Syncfusion ASP.NET Core PDF (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) offers redaction support, with APIs to mark and remove sensitive text or images.
