Enhanced Design System Documentation

One of the key milestones in 2023 was the launch of a dedicated Design System documentation site, which offers a wide range of resources, design assets and front-end documentation specifically tailored for the Telerik and Kendo UI libraries. 

With 2024 Q1, we have expanded the Design System Support by having more components like PDFViewer, FileManager, Rating, Chat (Conversational UI), Wizard, Splitter, Stepper, Tooltip, Slider, Timeline, Card, etc. covered in the Design System documentation. 

Our ongoing dedication is to enrich this site further, aiming to provide you with all the necessary tools to craft seamless and visually appealing digital experiences and design systems utilizing the power of Telerik and Kendo UI component libraries.

Multiple Document Processing Libraries (DPL) Improvements

PDF Processing: Embedding File Streams: With the 2024 Q1 the PDF Processing allows embedding file streams into documents. Therefore, the content of the referenced files is embedded directly within the body of the PDF file. See the PDF Processing documentation: Embedded File Streams.

PDF Processing: Support for Embedding ZUGFeRD Invoices: Another PDF Processing enhancement is the support for adding embedded ZUGFeRD invoices into documents. This invoice consists of two formats – PDF and XML and it is a hybrid file, which has a visual component with the PDF and a data-based offshoot for further, automated processing with the XML. See the Document Processing PDF Processing docs: EmbeddedFilesCollection.

Zip Library: Strong AES Encryption Algorithm: We’ve introduced a new encryption algorithm in the Zip Library – AES encryption. It is best suited to secure sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, passwords, and personal data. You can read and extract AES-protected archives with ease. See the Document Processing Zip Library docs: Protected Zip Archive.
