Install using NuGet Packages
This article describes how you can install the Document Processing Libraries using a NuGet package. You can find all Document Processing Libraries packages in the Available NuGet Packages article. There are three ways to get the NuGet packages:
Download from NuGet.org
As of Q2 2026, the Telerik Document Processing NuGet packages are available on NuGet.org. This is the recommended way to install the libraries because NuGet.org is the default package source in Visual Studio and the .NET CLI, so no additional feed configuration is required.
Install through the Visual Studio NuGet Package Manager
1. In the Visual Studio Solution Explorer, right-click a project and select Manage NuGet Packages....
2. Make sure the Package source dropdown is set to nuget.org (this is the default).
3. In the Browse tab, search for the desired Telerik Document Processing package, for example, Telerik.Documents.Fixed.
4. Select the package and click Install.
Install through the .NET CLI
Run the following command in a terminal, replacing Telerik.Documents.Fixed with the name of the package you need:
dotnet add package Telerik.Documents.FixedThe .NET CLI resolves packages from NuGet.org by default. You can install a specific version by appending the --version parameter:
dotnet add package Telerik.Documents.Fixed --version 2024.3.1015Install through the Package Manager Console
Run the following command in the Visual Studio Package Manager Console:
Install-Package Telerik.Documents.FixedYou can find the exact package names and available versions for all Document Processing Libraries in the Available NuGet Packages article.
Manually Download NuGet Packages
This approach allows you to set up a local NuGet package source, so you can install the Telerik products without an active Internet connection and without setting up the private feed.
1. Copy all the .nupkg files we provide to your preferred local feed location. First you need to log in using your Telerik licensed account. Telerik Document Processing is a part of several Telerik bundles and is available in the Downloads section of the suite with which you've obtained the product, e.g. UI for Blazor. This way you will be able to download the packages:
Telerik Document Processing is also available as a separate distribution in your account: Download Product Files
2. Then, you need to add packages to Visual Studio. Open the NuGet manager and then click the Options button:
3. Add new package source. The Source should point to the local folder with the NuGets:
4. The final step is to select and install the desired packages.
Download from the NuGet Server
As of Q2 2026, NuGet.org is the recommended source for Telerik Document Processing packages. The Telerik NuGet server remains available for backward compatibility and for installing older versions that predate the NuGet.org release.
To install the Telerik Document Processing Libraries, you can use the NuGet packages hosted on the public Telerik NuGet server. This online source lets you download and install various versions of the Document Processing libraries and allows quick updates with minimal manual intervention.
Before adding the Telerik NuGet server to Visual Studio, make sure you have:
-
A commercial or trial license that includes Document Processing. The Telerik NuGet server requires authentication and checks if you have a valid license.
-
An API key - As the Telerik NuGet server requires authentication, the first step is to obtain an API key.
Generate an API Key
It is necessary to obtain an API key that you will use instead of a password. Using an API key instead of a password is a more secure approach, especially when you work with .NET CLI or the NuGet.Config file.
Add the Telerik NuGet Package Source to Visual Studio
Before you can install Telerik NuGet packages, you must configure the Telerik NuGet server as a package source in Visual Studio:
https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json1. In the Visual Studio Solution Explorer, right-click a Project, select Manage NuGet Packages..., and then select the Settings icon:
2. Select + to add a new package source and enter https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json in the Source field. Add a name for the new package source, for example, Telerik NuGet Server:
3. Select Telerik NuGet Server from the Package Source dropdown, and you will be prompted for a user name and a password. Use the credentials for your Telerik Account.
4. Select and install the desired NuGet packages.
You have successfully added the Telerik NuGet feed as a Package source.
Reset Store Credentials
If you previously stored credentials for the Telerik NuGet server, you need to reset them to authenticate with your new API key. Follow these steps:
- Remove the saved credentials in the Windows Credential Manager. These credentials will appear as
nuget.telerik.comorVSCredentials_nuget.telerik.comentries. - Remove the Telerik NuGet package source from Visual Studio.
- If you have added the Telerik package source by using the .NET CLI, try to remove it by running the following commands:
- Check if you have any credentials stored in
%AppData%\NuGet\Nuget.Config. If so, remove them. - Try to reset the Visual Studio user data by forcing NuGet to ask for authentication.
- Restart Visual Studio.
- Add the Telerik NuGet package source again through Visual Studio or .NET CLI. If you are using the Telerik NuGet feed in a .NET Core application, use a NuGet API key in the NuGet.Config file.
