Converta Excel em PDF sem sair do visualizador

Abril 9, 2025
Aprimore os aplicativos .NET com um visualizador de PDF que oferece suporte à conversão de planilhas do Microsoft Excel em arquivos PDF para maior acessibilidade.

A .NET PDF viewer with Excel to PDF conversion capabilities enables developers to augment their .NET-based applications so that users can transform Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (in XLSX or XLS format) into PDF documents for viewing, sharing, or archiving. All handled within the viewer, this functionality preserves the structure, formatting, and content of the original Excel files while converting them into the widely-used PDF format. The ability to convert Excel to PDF in this manner allows for easy viewing, sharing, printing, and archiving of data without requiring end users to have Microsoft Excel installed. It also allows Excel content to be distributed with greater security and portability, while ensuring consistent rendering across different platforms, systems and devices.

Several .NET PDF viewer components allow you to convert Excel to PDF, including:

  • Telerik UI PDF for ASP.NET AJAX (part of Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX) enables the upload and conversion of Excel spreadsheets to PDF for consistent document presentation.
  • ImageGear for .NET by Accusoft facilitates the transformation of Excel files into PDFs, maintaining layout and formatting for professional document processing environments.
  • Syncfusion Xamarin PDF (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) allows users to convert Excel documents to PDF format to support flexible and reliable document output.

Proteja as comunicações com padrões comprovados

Os protocolos de segurança desempenham um papel crucial na manutenção da privacidade e proteção, desde a autenticação de usuários até a criptografia de dados confidenciais em mensagens digitais.

Authentication and security protocols play a critical role in safeguarding communication and messaging systems by verifying identities, protecting data integrity, and ensuring confidentiality. These protocols define the mechanisms by which users and services authenticate, establish trust, and secure data during transmission. As digital communication expands across networks, devices, and platforms, the need for robust, standards-based security frameworks becomes essential to protect against unauthorized access, tampering, and data breaches.

Common features include:

  • OAuth enables secure, token-based authorization for third-party applications without exposing user credentials.
  • SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) provides federated identity management and single sign-on capabilities, allowing users to access multiple services with a single authentication.
  • OpenPGP (Pretty Good Privacy) offers end-to-end encryption and digital signing of messages, ensuring that data remains confidential and tamper-proof.
  • SMIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) secures email communications by encrypting message content and attaching digital signatures for verification.
  • CertMgr supports the management of digital certificates, enabling systems to validate identities and establish encrypted connections using public key infrastructure.
