Cross-Platform Support
The Telerik Document Processing libraries are compatible with different .NET implementations, including .NET Standard, .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10 (Target OS: None), and later versions. For cross-platform scenarios, use the packages that target .NET Standard.
The binaries compatible with .NET Standard and .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10 (Target OS: None) are distributed with the packages that target .NET Standard. You can get them through suites such as UI for ASP.NET Core, UI for Blazor, UI for .NET MAUI, and UI for WinUI. NuGet packages are also available if you have a license for one of these suites.
Package References
To use the model of the RadPdfProcessing library in your cross-platform project, add references to the following .NET Standard NuGet packages:
- Telerik.Documents.Core
- Telerik.Documents.Fixed
Starting with Q2 2025, the Zip Library is no longer used as an internal dependency in the Document Processing libraries.
System.IO.Compressionreplaces it internally. The Telerik Zip Library continues to ship as a standalone library for separate use.
To export images other than JPEG and JPEG2000, or to use ImageQuality other than High, add a reference to the following .NET Standard package:
- Telerik.Documents.ImageUtils
For .NET Framework and .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10 projects that use the Windows Compatibility Pack, the assemblies contain
Windowsin their names. One example isTelerik.Windows.Documents.Core.
Fonts and Images
The .NET Framework and .NET (Target OS: Windows) versions of RadPdfProcessing include built-in functionality to read fonts, convert images, and scale image quality. On .NET Standard and .NET (Target OS: None), the library uses cross-platform extensibility points instead.
RadPdfProcessing automatically discovers installed system fonts on cross-platform targets through FixedExtensibilityManager.FontsProvider. For images, or when you use ImageQuality values other than High, add Telerik.Documents.ImageUtils and configure FixedExtensibilityManager as needed. For more information and code examples, see the Fonts and Images articles.
