Configuring Document Processing Libraries
With Q2 2024 we are adding a Document Processing Configuration Wizard for Visual Studio Code. The wizard is included in the Visual Studio Code extension for Telerik UI for Blazor and Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core and it enables you to easily add the required packages when working with the Telerik Document Processing Library. As of Q1 2025 we offer the DPL wizard for the Telerik UI for MAUI as well.
Getting the Wizard
To use the Document Processing Libraries Wizard, install the VS Code extension for the desired produckt:
Starting the Wizard
Using the File Explorer Context Menu
To use Document Processing Libraries Configuration Wizard from the VS Code's file explorer's context menu:
1. Right-click on a file in the files tree.
2. Select the Telerik UI for .NET MAUI: Add Document Processing Libraries.

The Telerik Document Processing Configuration wizard allows you to select which libraries your project would use. It allows you to use the license and selection of the .csproj file, in which you want the installation to be provided. This option is useful in cases when the user has many opened projects in the workspace. If a library you selected has any dependencies, they are automatically checked. In the table below there is a list of the assemblies that will be selected for each library:
| Library | Packages |
|---|---|
| RadPdfProcessing | Documents.Core Documents.Fixed Documents.ImageUtils Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Image.Skia Documents.CMapUtils |
| RadSpreadProcessing | Documents.Core Documents.Fixed Documents.Spreadsheet Documents.SpreadSheet.FormatProviders.OpenXml Documents.SpreadSheet.FormatProviders.Pdf Documents.Spreadsheet.FormatProviders.Xls Documents.ImageUtils |
| RadWordsProcessing | Documents.Core Documents.Fixed Documents.Flow Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Pdf Documents.ImageUtils Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Doc Documents.DrawingML |
As of *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 the System.IO.Compression. We will continue to ship the Telerik Zip Library as a standalone library so clients can still use it separately.
