Preview Reports with AI-Powered Data

February 6, 2026
DevExpress Reporting 25.2 enables generating test data using AI to preview and validate reports without connecting to live data sources.

DevExpress Reporting is a comprehensive suite of reporting tools that empowers developers to create visually stunning and highly customizable reports for various applications. With its rich feature set, including data binding, layout design, printing, and exporting capabilities, DevExpress Reporting enables the efficient creation of reports that meet the most demanding business requirements.

The DevExpress Reporting 25.2 update allows developers to generate AI-generated test data to preview reports directly within the Visual Studio and End-User Report Designers for WinForms and WPF. By removing the need to connect to a live data source during design, it supports faster iteration and easier layout validation. This is particularly valuable when production data is unavailable or when sharing report templates that must not include sensitive information.

Combine Documents into a Single PDF

February 6, 2026
Merge multiple documents into a single PDF to simplify sharing, improve organization, and preserve a polished, professional presentation.

Merging PDFs in a PDF viewer allows users to combine multiple PDF files into a single, unified document directly within the viewing application, without the need for external tools. This capability improves document management by preserving original formatting, page order, and visual consistency while reducing file clutter and simplifying sharing. By consolidating related content into one professional-looking file, users can improve collaboration, ensure clearer communication, and save time otherwise spent managing multiple attachments. Common use cases include compiling reports from multiple contributors, combining invoices or statements for record-keeping, assembling project documentation, or preparing complete proposals and presentations for clients and stakeholders.

Several .NET PDF viewer components offer PDF merging support including:

  • Telerik UI for WPF PDF Viewer (part of Telerik UI for WPF) lets you merge multiple PDF documents into one file, simplifying sharing.
  • Document Solutions for PDF by MESCIUS allows you to combine PDF files into a single document, preserving formatting for review and distribution.
  • LEADTOOLS PDF facilitates merging PDFs within applications, enabling developers to consolidate content, and deliver polished documents to users.
