スプレッドシート作成時に読みやすさが向上

7月 10, 2024
DevExpress Office File API 24.1では、両端揃えと分散テキストの配置が追加され、スプレッドシートのテキスト書式設定オプションを拡張

The DevExpress Office File API is a powerful .NET library designed to automate work with Microsoft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PDF files without relying on any UI components. It empowers developers to programmatically create, read, edit, export, and print these crucial office files across various platforms, including Windows, Linux, macOS, and even Azure. Its feature set covers a wide range of tasks, from formatting text and inserting images in Word documents to manipulating data and generating charts in Excel workbooks, and even filling interactive forms or extracting text from PDFs. This comprehensive functionality allows developers to integrate seamless document handling directly into their applications, eliminating the need for external software and streamlining workflows.

The DevExpress Office File API 24.1 release introduces justified and distributed text alignment to the Spreadsheet Document API. This means that text can now be spread evenly across the entire width of the cell (justified) or with a slight indent on both sides (distributed) - similar to how text appears in word processing software. These formatting options are preserved when exporting the spreadsheet to PDF, allowing users to maintain a consistent presentation across different document formats.

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

PDF分割機能で.NETアプリを拡張

7月 10, 2024
ファイルを分割できる.NET PDFコンポーネントを選択すると、アプリの柔軟性が向上し、エンドユーザーのドキュメント管理プロセスを簡素化

PDF splitting functionality enables users to divide a single PDF document into multiple smaller files, each containing a subset of the original document's pages. This capability is essential for managing large PDFs by breaking them down into more manageable sections, facilitating easier distribution, storage, and retrieval of specific content. The primary benefits of PDF splitting include improved performance due to reduced file size, enhanced organization by isolating relevant information, and increased flexibility in handling and sharing parts of the document without the need to manipulate the entire file. It can also simplify collaboration and review processes, as specific sections can be easily extracted and shared with relevant stakeholders.

Several .NET PDF components allow you to split PDF files, including:

  • LEADTOOLS PDF facilitates splitting PDFs into multiple documents, ensuring quick extraction of specific pages or sections with high accuracy for easier management.
  • IronPDF for .NET by Iron Software allows developers to programmatically split PDFs, offering an easy way to divide documents into multiple smaller, manageable files.
  • PDF4NET by O2 Solutions provides robust PDF splitting capabilities, facilitating precise division of documents into distinct, easily distributable segments.
  • ExpertPDF SplitPDF by Outside Software specializes in splitting PDF files, allowing users to extract and save individual pages or groups of pages effortlessly.
