Available NuGet Packages
Telerik provides NuGet packages with the assemblies for all five Document Processing libraries: RadPdfProcessing, RadSpreadProcessing, RadSpreadStreamProcessing, RadWordsProcessing, and RadZipLibrary. These UI-independent cross-platform libraries enable you to process and convert content in various formats and even work with archive files. We deliver these libraries as a complement to the Telerik UI component suites (UI for ASP.NET, Kendo UI, UI for WPF, UI for WinForms, UI for Xamarin, UI for Blazor), and you don't need to purchase an additional license to use them.
If your workflow relies on NuGet for package management, you can take advantage of the packages that we describe in this article. There is no need to download and install the Document Processing libraries by using other methods.
The Telerik Document Processing libraries are available in two versions:
A version for .NET Framework and .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10 for Windows
A version for .NET Standard 2.0 (Support for .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10)
Both versions are available as NuGet packages but with different names. The packages for .NET Standard do not contain the word Windows in their name.
Package lists to use with .NET Standard (left) and .NET Framework (right)
The .NET Standard packages are compatible with any .NET version (e.g .NET 9), even if there are no packages explicitly available for the specific versions. The same applies to the .NET Framework packages.
As of Q2 2025 the Zip Library will no longer be used as an internal dependency in the rest of the Document Processing Libraries - PdfProcessing, WordsProcessing, SpreadProcessing, SpreadStreamProcessing. It will be replaced by the System.IO.Compression. We will continue to ship the Telerik Zip Library as a standalone library so clients can still use it separately.
The following tables represent the available NuGet packages for the Document Processing libraries. Each table shows the package names for both .NET Framework and .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10 for Windows, as well as .NET Standard 2.0 (Support for .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10) versions. Although we offer them as an addition to the Telerik UI components, you can use them without any UI components.
