フィールドをフラット化することでPDFフォームをロック

2月 12, 2026
WinFormsアプリでPDF文書内のフォームフィールドをフラット化し、ユーザーの入力を編集できない静的なページコンテンツに変換可能

Flattening form fields is the process of converting interactive PDF form elements into static content within the document. Once flattened, the data entered into fields becomes part of the page itself, preventing further editing or manipulation. This ensures that the document can be viewed consistently across devices and PDF readers, while preserving the integrity of the submitted information. It is particularly valuable for finalized contracts, reports, and compliance documents where maintaining an accurate, unalterable record is essential.

Several WinForms PDF components allow you to flatten form fields, including:

  • Telerik UI for WinForms PdfProcessing (part of Telerik UI for WinForms) supports programmatic flattening of AcroForm fields so forms can be locked with preserved layout.
  • ImageGear for .NET by Accusoft provides APIs to convert form fields into static page content, removing interactivity and preserving entered data.
  • XFINIUM.PDF WINDOWS/MAC EDITION enables form fields to be flattened during processing, embedding field values into the document content.
  • Syncfusion WinForms PDF (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Document SDK) allows developers to flatten individual fields or entire forms to prevent editing before sharing.

正確な多言語メッセージを提供

2月 11, 2026
.NETメッセージングコントロールにおける国際文字セットのサポートにより、グローバルシステム間の送信時にテキストの整合性が保持

International Character Sets support in .NET communications controls refers to the ability of networking and messaging components to correctly transmit, receive, and process text data encoded in various global character standards, such as Unicode, UTF-8, UTF-16, and legacy code pages. This capability ensures that applications can reliably handle multilingual content, including non-Latin scripts, accented characters, symbols, and right-to-left languages, without data corruption or misinterpretation during serialization, transport, or display. By supporting standardized encoding mechanisms, .NET communications controls allow developers to build globally compatible services, APIs, email clients, and messaging systems that maintain text integrity across different platforms, operating systems, and regional settings, which is essential for modern distributed and internationalized applications.

Several .NET communications and messaging components offer support for international character sets including:

  • MailBee.NET POP3 by AfterLogic allows you to retrieve and process multilingual email messages using Unicode and varied international encodings reliably.
  • PowerTCP Mail for .NET by Dart Communications lets you send, receive, and parse global email content with comprehensive character encoding compatibility.
  • Rebex Mail Pack enables sending and receiving multilingual email content with full Unicode, MIME, and international header encoding support.
  • SocketTools .NET Edition by Catalyst Development Corp. supports transmitting multilingual data using Unicode, UTF-8, configurable code pages, and MIME encoding.

画像から簡単にPDFを作成可能

2月 11, 2026
1枚以上の画像を、1枚の高品質なPDFに変換し、簡単に共有・印刷・保護・使用が容易に、デバイスやプラットフォームを越えて安定して使用可能

Image-to-PDF conversion transforms one or more image files into a single, standardized PDF document, maintaining image quality and consistent layout. Converting images to PDF improves accessibility across devices and platforms, simplifies sharing and printing, and helps organize multiple images into one professional file. It also supports features such as compression and security, making documents easier to store and protect. Common use cases include compiling scanned documents or receipts, creating reports from images, and sharing visual records in a reliable, universally supported format.

Several .NET PDF components allow you to convert images to PDF, including:

  • Aspose.PDF for .NET lets you convert images into high-quality PDFs programmatically, preserving layout, resolution, and security within .NET applications.
  • ComponentOne WinForms PDF (part of ComponentOne Studio WinForms by MESCIUS) allows you to combine images into PDFs with precise control over layout and compression.
  • IronPDF for .NET facilitates image-to-PDF conversion with simple APIs, enabling fast document creation, customization, and secure distribution in applications.
  • GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET lets you transform images into PDFs at scale, supporting batch processing, consistent formatting, and flexible integration scenarios.

RTL言語のレポートを正しく表示

2月 10, 2026
RTL対応により、アラビア語やヘブライ語などの右から左の言語に対して適切なテキストフロー、アラインメント、レイアウトでレポートをレンダリング可能

Right to left (RTL) support in reporting components enables reports to correctly display languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, where text flow, alignment, and layout follow a right-to-left reading order. This capability typically affects text rendering, page layout, table alignment, and user interface elements, helping reports remain readable and culturally appropriate without requiring separate report designs.

Several Blazor reporting controls offer right-to-left (RTL) support including:

  • DevExpress Reporting provides RTL support by allowing report layouts, text alignment, and controls to be mirrored so that content follows a right-to-left flow when required.
  • ActiveReports.NET Professional by MESCIUS includes RTL handling for text and layout, enabling developers to render reports correctly for right-to-left languages.
  • Telerik Reporting offers RTL support that adjusts text direction, alignment, and certain layout behaviors, helping reports integrate into applications targeting RTL locales.
  • Stimulsoft Reports.WEB allows report elements, text, and data presentation to be displayed in a right-to-left direction, making it suitable for handling multilingual content.

DevExpress Reporting 25.2は、ライブデータソースに接続せずにAIを用いてテストデータを生成し、レポートをプレビュー・検証可能

DevExpress Reporting is a comprehensive suite of reporting tools that empowers developers to create visually stunning and highly customizable reports for various applications. With its rich feature set, including data binding, layout design, printing, and exporting capabilities, DevExpress Reporting enables the efficient creation of reports that meet the most demanding business requirements.

The DevExpress Reporting 25.2 update allows developers to generate AI-generated test data to preview reports directly within the Visual Studio and End-User Report Designers for WinForms and WPF. By removing the need to connect to a live data source during design, it supports faster iteration and easier layout validation. This is particularly valuable when production data is unavailable or when sharing report templates that must not include sensitive information.

To see a full list of what's new in version 25.2, see our release notes.

DevExpress Reporting is licensed per developer and is available as a Perpetual License with a 12 month support and maintenance subscription. See our DevExpress Reporting licensing page for full details.
