Cross-Platform Support
The Telerik Document Processing libraries are compatible across different .NET implementations, including .NET Standard, .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10 (Target OS: None), and later versions. A set of packages built against the .NET Standard version is available for you to reference in an application.
The binaries compatible with .NET Standard, .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10 (Target OS: None) are distributed with the packages targeting .NET Standard. You can get the packages through the UI for ASP.NET Core, UI for Blazor, and UI for WinUI suites. NuGet packages are also available if you have a license for one of the suites listed.
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 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
System.IO.Compression. The Telerik Zip Library will continue to ship as a standalone library so you can still use it separately.
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 with Windows Compatibility Pack projects, the references contain "Windows" in their names (for example, Telerik.Windows.Documents.Core).
Fonts and Images
The .NET Framework and .NET (Target OS: Windows) versions of PdfProcessing come with built-in functionality to read fonts, convert images, and scale their quality. The .NET Standard specification, however, does not define APIs that provide such functionality within the library.
To provide the necessary extensibility mechanisms for working with fonts and images, the .NET Standard version of RadPdfProcessing exposes the FixedExtensibilityManager class. For more information, including code samples on how to configure FixedExtensibilityManager, see the Fonts and Images articles.
