Clients can expect a new API layer designed for intelligent document automation in .NET environments. The upcoming release will include sample workflows and prompt templates to accelerate integration with AI agents.

We will introduce an MCP Server exposing document querying and manipulation tools that can be either installed directly in AI Chat client for direct use or utilized programmatically for enabling agents to analyze and modify documents.

We will introduce DSS-compliant PDF digital signature support in Telerik Document Processing Libraries. This enhancement ensures that signed PDFs pass validation using the European Commission’s DSS validator. It improves trust, legal compliance, and interoperability for organizations operating in the EU and beyond.

Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is a standardized way to embed rich metadata (author, title, keywords, custom properties, etc.) directly into PDF files in XML form. It goes far beyond the old PDF “Info” dictionary by supporting structured, extensible data. We will introduce and gradually improve the XMP fields support.

We are introducing MIME type specification for embedded files in PDF documents generated with Telerik Document Processing Libraries. This enhancement ensures compliance with PDF/A-3 and Factur-X standards, enabling accurate metadata declaration for XML and other structured attachments. Developers will be able to explicitly set MIME types during embedding, improving interoperability and validation outcomes.

Telerik PdfProcessing will introduce a new configuration mechanism for PDF/A export. This feature will allow developers to specify a compliant font to replace the default Standard Fonts, ensuring that generated documents meet PDF/A requirements. The update will improve compatibility with archiving standards and reduce the need for post-processing or external tools.

We are introducing API for automatic file format detection to simplify document loading workflows. It will improve robustness and reduce errors in scenarios where file metadata is unavailable or unreliable. Expect support for the Telerik DPL-covered formats.

We’re significantly improving the performance and responsiveness of our Excel processing engine by introducing a calculation chain algorithm. This enhancement replaces the current event-driven recalculation logic with a smarter, dependency-aware system that updates cells in an optimal and, where possible, parallel manner.

With this update, spreadsheets will open faster, recalculate more efficiently, and scale better with complex formulas bringing our Excel library in line with modern expectations for performance and accuracy.

We’re extending our GenAI-powered document insights capabilities to Excel documents (now in Preview), enabling users to extract meaningful summaries and context-aware answers directly from document content. This enhancement eliminates the need for manual review and analysis, offering a faster, more intelligent way to understand and interact with Excel files.

The feature builds on the foundation established with PDF insights and will be showcased through an interactive online demo.

We’re adding AutoFilter support to the SpreadStreamProcessing library to simplify data filtering in streamed Excel files. This feature will allow users to define filter criteria through the API and automatically hide rows that don’t match, as data is added to the stream. The resulting Excel file will include the applied filter, improving accuracy and saving time.
