This is the first public release of GroupDocs.Editor for Python via .NET, shipped as a self-contained Python wheel on PyPI. It brings the full document-editing capabilities of the underlying .NET library to Python: load a document, convert it to clean, editable HTML/CSS, edit that markup programmatically or in any WYSIWYG editor, then save it back to the original format — or convert it to another — with a single pip install and no MS Office, OpenOffice, or separate .NET runtime required.\nWhat\u0026rsquo;s new in this release [New feature] HTML round-trip editing (EDTPY-1) [New feature] Pythonic API surface with auto-mapped naming conventions (EDTPY-2) [New feature] Multi-format support across Word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF, email, eBooks, and text/markup formats (EDTPY-3) [New feature] Format conversion via HTML intermediate (EDTPY-4) [New feature] Granular editing (worksheet/slide/page range) with pagination and language metadata toggles (EDTPY-5) [New feature] Resource extraction (images, fonts, CSS, audio) and folder persistence (EDTPY-6) [New feature] Document introspection via get_document_info() (EDTPY-7) [New feature] Form field inspection and update via editor.form_field_manager (EDTPY-8) [New feature] Stream loading and context-manager protocol for deterministic disposal (EDTPY-9) [New feature] AI Agent \u0026amp; LLM Friendly: bundled AGENTS.md, MCP server, and machine-readable docs (EDTPY-10) Public API changes The entire .NET API is exposed through Python-native naming. Classes use PascalCase, methods and properties use snake_case (auto-mapped to the underlying .NET PascalCase), and enum values use UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.\nClasses Editor — entry point; open by path or stream, edit(), save(), get_document_info(), form_field_manager EditableDocument — HTML/CSS representation; get_content(), get_body_content(), get_embedded_html(), get_css_content(), save(), resource collections (images, fonts, css, audio, all_resources), and the from_markup() / from_markup_and_resource_folder() / from_file() factories FormFieldManager — read and update Word-processing form fields License, Metered — licensing APIs Options Load: WordProcessingLoadOptions, SpreadsheetLoadOptions, PresentationLoadOptions, PdfLoadOptions Edit: WordProcessingEditOptions, SpreadsheetEditOptions, PresentationEditOptions, PdfEditOptions, EbookEditOptions, EmailEditOptions, MarkdownEditOptions, TextEditOptions, XmlEditOptions, DelimitedTextEditOptions Save: WordProcessingSaveOptions, SpreadsheetSaveOptions, PresentationSaveOptions, PdfSaveOptions, HtmlSaveOptions, MhtmlSaveOptions, MarkdownSaveOptions, XpsSaveOptions, TextSaveOptions, EbookSaveOptions, EmailSaveOptions, DelimitedTextSaveOptions Enums WordProcessingFormats, SpreadsheetFormats, PresentationFormats, FixedLayoutFormats, EBookFormats, EmailFormats, TextualFormats, FontExtractionOptions, FontEmbeddingOptions Exceptions PasswordRequiredException, IncorrectPasswordException, EncryptedException, InvalidFormatException New features HTML Round-Trip Editing Convert any supported document to editable HTML/CSS and save it back to its original format without losing fidelity — the core workflow behind GroupDocs.Editor. The HTML can be edited programmatically or in any third-party WYSIWYG editor such as CKEditor or TinyMCE.\nPythonic API Surface The entire .NET API is exposed through Python-native naming. Classes use PascalCase, methods and properties use snake_case (auto-mapped to the underlying .NET PascalCase), and enum values use UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.\nMulti-Format Support One unified API across Word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF, email, eBooks, and text/markup formats.\nFormat Conversion via HTML There is no separate “convert” call — saving an EditableDocument with a different *SaveOptions converts it through the HTML intermediate. Same input, different output.\nGranular Editing Edit a single worksheet of a workbook, a single slide of a deck, or a page range — and toggle pagination and language metadata.\nResource Extraction An EditableDocument exposes its extracted images, fonts, CSS, and audio as iterable collections, and can persist the HTML plus all resources into a folder.\nDocument Introspection Read format, page count, size, and encryption status without a full edit pass.\nForm Fields Inspect and update Word-processing form fields through editor.form_field_manager.\nStreams and Context Managers Load from any binary stream and rely on the context-manager protocol for deterministic disposal of native document handles.\nAI Agent \u0026amp; LLM Friendly AGENTS.md bundled inside the installed wheel — Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot auto-discover the API surface, usage patterns, and troubleshooting hints.

(COMPARISONNET-4767) [Bug] Compare method throws exception for HTML output. (COMPARISONNET-4764) Major Features Multi-framework NuGet packaging and TFM-split packages GroupDocs.Comparison has transitioned to a more advanced NuGet package delivery model. The main package now targets net462;net6.0;net8.0;net10.0, replacing the previous net462;netstandard2.1 targets.\nIn addition, to reduce the download size, dedicated per-framework NuGet packages are now published alongside the main package. When installing the platform-specific package, only the binaries matching the user\u0026rsquo;s target framework are downloaded — no unused platform assemblies are included.\nPackage Target framework GroupDocs.Comparison net462;net6.0;net8.0;net10.0 (all frameworks) GroupDocs.Comparison.net462 .NET Framework 4.6.2 GroupDocs.Comparison.net6 .NET 6.0 GroupDocs.Comparison.net8 .NET 8.0 GroupDocs.Comparison.net10 .NET 10.0 Note: .NET Standard 2.1 is no longer supported as a dedicated target. Projects that previously relied on netstandard2.1 should migrate to one of the supported TFMs listed above.\nSupport optional disposal of passed stream in RevisionHandler RevisionHandler now accepts a leaveOpen parameter that controls whether the underlying stream is disposed when the handler is disposed. When leaveOpen is set to true, the stream remains open after the RevisionHandler is disposed, allowing the caller to continue using it. This is useful in scenarios where the stream lifecycle is managed externally.\nusing FileStream revisionFileStream = new FileStream(\u0026#34;source.docx\u0026#34;, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite); using (RevisionHandler revisionHandler = new RevisionHandler(revisionFileStream, leaveOpen: true)) { List\u0026lt;RevisionInfo\u0026gt; revisionList = revisionHandler.GetRevisions(); foreach (var rev in revisionList) { if (rev.Type == RevisionType.Deletion) rev.Action = RevisionAction.Accept; } ApplyRevisionOptions revisionChanges = new ApplyRevisionOptions { Changes = revisionList }; revisionHandler.ApplyRevisionChanges(resultPath, revisionChanges); } Extend ChangeInfo with Spreadsheet Properties Three new properties have been added to ChangeInfo to expose spreadsheet-specific metadata for each detected change. These properties are populated when comparing Excel (.xlsx) and CSV (.csv) files and allow you to precisely locate each change within the spreadsheet grid:\nRow – zero-based row index of the changed cell. Column – zero-based column index of the changed cell. ColumnHeader – the header text of the column containing the changed cell (when available). The example below shows how to compare two CSV files and serialize the change list — including the new spreadsheet properties — to JSON:\nstring source = \u0026#34;source.csv\u0026#34;; string target = \u0026#34;target.csv\u0026#34;; string outFilePathJson = \u0026#34;result.json\u0026#34;; using (var comparer = new Comparer(source)) { comparer.Add(target); var doc = comparer.Compare(); var changes = doc.Changes; var json = changes.Select(c =\u0026gt; new { id = c.Id, type = c.Type.ToString(), componentType = c.ComponentType, row = c.Row, column = c.Column, columnHeader = c.ColumnHeader, sourceText = c.SourceText, targetText = c.TargetText, text = c.Text }); File.WriteAllText(outFilePathJson, JsonSerializer.Serialize(json, new JsonSerializerOptions { WriteIndented = true })); } Enhancements Improve CSV comparison result readability with text markers CSV comparison output now uses inline text markers to make inserted and deleted content immediately visible without requiring a side-by-side view:\nInserted text is wrapped in parentheses — for example, (new value) Deleted text is wrapped in square brackets — for example, [old value] How to get the update You can get the latest version from NuGet or download it directly from the GroupDocs website.\nNuGet GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET 26.5\nDirect download Download assemblies for both .NET and .NET Framework from the GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET 26.5 page.\nLearn more Full Release Notes Documentation Free Support Forum ","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/comparison/groupdocs-comparison-for-net-26-5/","summary":"GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET 26.5 is here.","title":"GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET 26.5 – May 2026 Release Highlights"},{"content":"We\u0026rsquo;re happy to announce the release of GroupDocs.Metadata for Python v26.5, available as of May 2026.

Such data contain comma-separated values which are not really very human readable. However, it is quite easy to manipulate CSV files using editors like Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice Calc, or LibreOffice. There are certain scenarios where we need to compare two large CSV files for their difference. In order to perform this comparison, we do it programmatically. Earlier, we have discussed this CSV files comparison in Java. This article covers the basic way how to compare two CSV files using C# within the .NET application.\n.NET API for Comparing CSV Files GroupDocs provides its document comparison solution for various file formats. We will use its .NET API to compare CSV files within the application. It allows comparing two or more CSV files for differences. It further supports comparing password-protected CSV files, accepting and rejecting the discovered changes and much more.\nYou can download the DLLs or MSI installer from the downloads section or install the API by adding its package to your .NET application via NuGet.\nPM\u0026gt; Install-Package GroupDocs.Comparison Running examples for its features are also available at GitHub. Visit its documentation and API Reference for guidance.\nHow to Compare CSV Files using C# Let’s head towards our objective and perform the basic comparison. You just have to load the comparison file and then call compare feature to get the comparison results. The following two are the files that are compared in the article below:\nThe following are the steps to compare two CSV files for differences using C#:\nFirst, load the CSV file using the Comparer class. Then, add the second CSV file using the respective Add method. Finally, compare both the files using the Compare method. The following C# code compares the CSV files and provides the differences in a CSV output within the .NET application.\nThe output result is as follows:\nHow Changes Are Displayed in the Resulting CSV Unlike formats such as DOCX or XLSX, CSV files do not support text formatting (colors, bold, etc.), so changes cannot be highlighted with color. To keep the resulting CSV readable, GroupDocs.Comparison marks changes with plain text markers directly inside the cell value:\nInserted text is wrapped in parentheses — for example, (new value) Deleted text is wrapped in square brackets — for example, [old value] Unchanged text is left as is For example, if the source CSV contains the value Infrastructure Assessment in a cell and the target CSV contains Infra Assessment, the resulting CSV will contain Infra[structure] Assessment in that cell. This way, you can easily see what was removed and what remained — directly within the CSV output, without any additional tooling.\nExport CSV Comparison Changes to JSON in C# In addition to producing a result CSV file, GroupDocs.Comparison gives you programmatic access to the list of detected changes via the Changes collection of the result Document. Each ChangeInfo entry contains the change type, source and target text, and — for Cells comparer (CSV, XLSX, ODS, etc.) — the row index, column index, and the column header taken from the first row of the file.\nThis makes it easy to export the comparison report to JSON, where each change is mapped to a named field of your data:\nusing GroupDocs.Comparison; using GroupDocs.Comparison.Options; using System.IO; using System.Linq; using System.Text.Json; string source = \u0026#34;source.csv\u0026#34;; string target = \u0026#34;target.csv\u0026#34;; string outFilePath = \u0026#34;result.csv\u0026#34;; string outFilePathJson = \u0026#34;result.json\u0026#34;; using (var comparer = new Comparer(source)) { comparer.Add(target); var doc = comparer.Compare(outFilePath, new CompareOptions()); var changes = doc.Changes; var json = changes.Select(c =\u0026gt; new { id = c.Id, type = c.Type.ToString(), componentType = c.ComponentType, row = c.Row, column = c.Column, columnHeader = c.ColumnHeader, sourceText = c.SourceText, targetText = c.TargetText, text = c.Text }); File.WriteAllText(outFilePathJson, JsonSerializer.Serialize(json, new JsonSerializerOptions { WriteIndented = true })); } Each entry in the produced JSON file will look similar to this:\n{ \u0026#34;id\u0026#34;: 0, \u0026#34;type\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Deleted\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;componentType\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Run\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;row\u0026#34;: 1, \u0026#34;column\u0026#34;: 0, \u0026#34;columnHeader\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Service\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;sourceText\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Infrastructure Assessment\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;targetText\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Infra Assessment\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;text\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;structure\u0026#34; } With the columnHeader property, you immediately know which field of the CSV record was affected, without having to parse the original file separately to map column indexes back to header names.\nGet a Free API License You can get a free temporary license in order to use the API without the evaluation limitations.\nConclusion To conclude, we have learned how to compare two CSV files within a .NET application using C#. The features let you find the dissimilarities between any two large CSV files. The summary of the comparison also provides the count for differences found within the compared files. Using these, you can build your own online CSV files comparison .NET application.\nFor more details and to learn about the API, visit its documentation.

Such data contain comma-separated values which are not really very human readable. However, it is quite easy to manipulate CSV files using editors like Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice Calc, or LibreOffice.

Most existing scripts written against 25.12 run unchanged on 26.5; the changes below are grouped by compatibility impact.\nNewly-visible top-level classes These classes existed in 25.12 internals but were hidden from Python introspection by the Nuitka‑compiled wrapper. They are now directly importable:\nfrom groupdocs.comparison.license import License, Metered from groupdocs.comparison.options import ( Color, PdfCompareOptions, WordCompareOptions, CalculateCoordinatesModeEnumeration, ChangeType, ComparisonDisplayMode, DetalisationLevel, FolderComparisonExtension, ImagesInheritance, MetadataType, PagesSetup, PaperSize, PasswordSaveOption, PreviewFormats, PreviewResolution, ) from groupdocs.comparison.result import ComparisonAction, FileType, Rectangle New Color class StyleSettings.font_color, .highlight_color, .shape_color, and .boarder_color now accept any of:\nfrom groupdocs.comparison.options import Color # Named‑color factory style.font_color = Color.from_name(\u0026#34;firebrick\u0026#34;) # RGB / RGBA tuple style.font_color = (255, 0, 0) style.font_color = (255, 0, 0, 128) # Hex string style.font_color = \u0026#34;#FF8800\u0026#34; style.font_color = \u0026#34;#80FF8800\u0026#34; # AARRGGBB # Packed ARGB int style.font_color = 0xFF0000 # Or a Color instance directly style.font_color = Color(178, 34, 34, 255) Color is importable from groupdocs.comparison, groupdocs.comparison.options, and groupdocs.pydrawing—all three paths resolve to the same class.\nCallable‑based PreviewOptions PreviewOptions constructor accepts a Python callable for the CreatePageStream delegate.

Consolidating these files into a single binder becomes a nightmare because the passwords differ and the files cannot be merged directly. Manual decryption is time‑consuming and error‑prone, especially when dealing with dozens of PDFs.\nPassword‑merge is a GroupDocs.Merger workflow for Java that unlocks heterogeneous PDFs and re‑protects the merged result with a single credential. This tutorial walks through detecting protected PDFs, unlocking them, merging the content, and optionally rotating the unified password.\nYou’ll learn how to configure the Merger API, process byte streams, and generate a secure combined PDF in under 30 lines of Java code.\nWhen should I merge password‑protected PDFs? Merging password‑protected PDFs makes sense whenever you need a single, searchable archive that respects security policies while eliminating the overhead of handling multiple passwords. Typical scenarios include quarterly financial report bundles, contract binders for audits, and legal case files where each contributor applied a different password. By unlocking each file programmatically and applying a unified password, you keep the archive secure and simplify downstream review processes. The whole operation can be automated in a CI pipeline, saving hours of manual work.\nPrerequisites Java 11 or later GroupDocs.Merger for Java 24.6+ (temporary license) A set of PDF files, each optionally paired with its password Install the library via Maven:\nmvn dependency:copy -Dartifact=com.groupdocs:groupdocs-merger:24.6 Step 1 – Detect if a PDF is password‑protected Before attempting to unlock a file, check whether it actually carries a password. This avoids unnecessary processing and lets you log which files need credentials.\n// Returns true if the PDF at `path` has an owner or user password public boolean isDocumentProtected(String path, String password) { Merger merger; if (password == null || password.isEmpty()) { merger = new Merger(path); } else { merger = new Merger(path, new LoadOptions(password)); } try { return merger.isPasswordSet(); } finally { merger.dispose(); } } Key points:\nLoadOptions carries a known password; if none is provided the file is opened normally. isPasswordSet() reports true for both owner and user passwords. Always dispose the Merger instance to free native resources. Step 2 – Unlock each PDF and collect raw bytes Iterate over a map where the key is the file path and the value is its password (null if none). The method returns a list of byte arrays representing the unlocked PDFs.\npublic List\u0026lt;byte[]\u0026gt; unlockAll(Map\u0026lt;String, String\u0026gt; sources) throws IOException { List\u0026lt;byte[]\u0026gt; unlocked = new ArrayList\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(); for (Map.Entry\u0026lt;String, String\u0026gt; e : sources.entrySet()) { String path = e.getKey(); String password = e.getValue(); System.out.println(\u0026#34;Unlocking (credentials=\u0026#34; + (password != null ? \u0026#34;yes\u0026#34; : \u0026#34;no\u0026#34;) + \u0026#34;): \u0026#34; + path); if (password == null || password.isEmpty()) { unlocked.add(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(path))); } else { LoadOptions opts = new LoadOptions(password); ByteArrayOutputStream buf = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); Merger m = new Merger(path, opts); try { m.removePassword(); m.save(buf); } finally { m.dispose(); } unlocked.add(buf.toByteArray()); } } return unlocked; } Key points:\nremovePassword() strips the existing protection. The decrypted content is written to a ByteArrayOutputStream for in‑memory handling. Files without a password are read directly to keep the flow simple. Step 3 – Merge the unlocked PDFs and apply a unified password Create a Merger from the first PDF stream, then join the remaining streams. Finally, protect the combined document with AddPasswordOptions.\npublic void mergeAndProtect(List\u0026lt;byte[]\u0026gt; unlockedPdfs, String unifiedPassword, String outputPath) { InputStream first = new ByteArrayInputStream(unlockedPdfs.get(0)); Merger merger = new Merger(first); try { for (int i = 1; i \u0026lt; unlockedPdfs.size(); i++) { merger.join(new ByteArrayInputStream(unlockedPdfs.get(i))); } merger.addPassword(new AddPasswordOptions(unifiedPassword)); merger.save(outputPath); } finally { merger.dispose(); } System.out.println(\u0026#34;Merged output: \u0026#34; + new File(outputPath).getAbsolutePath()); System.out.println(\u0026#34;Unified password: \u0026#34; + unifiedPassword); } Key points:\naddPassword encrypts the final PDF with the supplied credential. All operations happen in memory; only the final file is written to disk. Dispose the Merger to release native handles. Step 4 – Rotate the password on an already‑protected PDF (optional) If your organization enforces periodic password rotation, you can update the credential without re‑merging the source files.\npublic void rotateUnifiedPassword(String path, String oldPassword, String newPassword, String outputPath) { Merger merger = new Merger(path, new LoadOptions(oldPassword)); try { merger.updatePassword(new UpdatePasswordOptions(newPassword)); merger.save(outputPath); } finally { merger.dispose(); } System.out.println(\u0026#34;Rotated output: \u0026#34; + new File(outputPath).getAbsolutePath()); System.out.println(\u0026#34;New password: \u0026#34; + newPassword); } Key points:\nLoad the protected PDF with the current password. updatePassword replaces it with the new credential. This operation is fast because it does not re‑process the PDF content. Real‑World Application I hit this when consolidating five investor contracts that each had a different reviewer password. Using the steps above, I unlocked all files, merged them into a single binder, and applied a single password that matched our corporate policy. The whole process ran in under two minutes on a standard laptop.\nBest Practices Validate passwords early: Use isDocumentProtected to flag files that may need manual attention. Limit memory usage: For large PDFs, stream them to disk instead of keeping all byte arrays in memory. Dispose objects promptly: The Merger class holds native resources; always call dispose() in a finally block. Use a temporary license only for development; obtain a production license before release. Conclusion GroupDocs.Merger for Java provides a clean API for unlocking, merging, and re‑securing PDF collections. By following the four steps—detecting protection, unlocking, merging with a unified password, and optionally rotating that password—you can automate the creation of secure PDF binders without manual intervention.\nNext steps:\nExplore additional options such as setting PDF metadata after merge (documentation).

Scrolling through documents side by side and annotating differences by hand does not scale, and even purpose-built tools like Adobe Acrobat\u0026rsquo;s Compare feature require manual intervention for every pair of files.\nGroupDocs.Comparison for .NET lets you run PDF comparison entirely from code and choose exactly how the result is presented. Version 26.4 introduced a dedicated PdfCompareOptions class with three output display modes:\nInline (default) — a single merged PDF where deletions and insertions are highlighted in different colours on the same pages. This is the classic behaviour and is the easiest result to share as a standalone file. Side‑by‑Side — each result page shows the source and target pages placed next to each other, with no content overlap. Ideal when documents differ heavily and mixing content on one page would be confusing. Interleaved — the result contains alternating pages: odd pages come from the source (deletions highlighted), even pages from the target (insertions highlighted). Changes are represented as native PDF annotations — a built‑in PDF object type that carries metadata such as the change type and author name. Most PDF viewers (Adobe Acrobat Reader, Foxit, etc.) let users open the annotations panel and accept or delete individual annotations, making it a lightweight review workflow without any extra software. Opening this file in a \u0026ldquo;Two Page View\u0026rdquo; PDF reader produces a natural left/right comparison. In this article we will walk through all three modes with working C# examples, explore PdfCompareOptions and its properties, and briefly cover how the same task can be done manually in Adobe Acrobat.\nComparing PDFs in Adobe Acrobat Before diving into the programmatic approach, it is worth knowing what Adobe Acrobat Pro offers out of the box. Acrobat\u0026rsquo;s built‑in Compare Files tool (available under Tools → Compare Files) produces a side‑by‑side report that highlights text changes, image differences, and formatting shifts.\nTo run a comparison in Acrobat Pro:\nOpen Acrobat Pro and choose Tools → Compare Files. Select the Older File (source) and the Newer File (target). Click Compare. Acrobat generates an interactive comparison report with a summary page and inline change markers. This works well for occasional manual reviews. However, Acrobat\u0026rsquo;s compare tool has significant limitations when comparison needs to be part of an automated pipeline.\nWhen comparison must happen on a server, inside a CI/CD pipeline, or as part of a custom review workflow, a code-first library is the right tool.\nPrerequisites Before you start:\n.NET 6.0 or later. GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET 26.4 or later — install via NuGet: dotnet add package GroupDocs.Comparison A license file (GroupDocs.Comparison.lic). Without it the library runs in evaluation mode with watermarks and page-count limits. You can request a temporary license for testing. Two PDF files to compare — we will call them source.pdf and target.pdf. Example content: source.pdf target.pdf Mode 1: Inline Comparison (Default) When to use: you want a single, self‑contained PDF file that anyone can open and immediately see what changed — without needing a special viewer or a two‑page layout. A typical scenario is sharing a redlined contract draft with a counterparty.\nusing GroupDocs.Comparison; using GroupDocs.Comparison.Options; using (var comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source.pdf\u0026#34;)) { comparer.Add(\u0026#34;target.pdf\u0026#34;); var options = new PdfCompareOptions { DisplayMode = PdfCompareOptions.ComparisonDisplayMode.Inline }; comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result_inline.pdf\u0026#34;, options); } Note: Inline is the default value of DisplayMode, so the options block above is optional. A plain comparer.Compare(\u0026quot;result_inline.pdf\u0026quot;) call produces the same output.\nResulting document in Inline mode:\nWhat happens under the hood:\nDeleted content from the source document is highlighted in one colour (red by default). Inserted content from the target document is highlighted in another colour (green by default). Both sets of changes coexist on the same pages, so the result is compact but can look busy when documents differ heavily. With substantial text edits, deleted and inserted content may physically overlap on the page — for example, a replaced paragraph renders on top of the original one, producing an unreadable jumble. In such cases SideBySide or Interleaved mode is a better choice. Mode 2: Side‑by‑Side Comparison When to use: the two documents differ heavily and placing deletions and insertions on the same page would make the result hard to read. Side‑by‑Side keeps source and target content strictly separated, making it easy to scan each page at a glance.\nusing GroupDocs.Comparison; using GroupDocs.Comparison.Options; using (var comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source.pdf\u0026#34;)) { comparer.Add(\u0026#34;target.pdf\u0026#34;); var options = new PdfCompareOptions { DisplayMode = PdfCompareOptions.ComparisonDisplayMode.SideBySide }; comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result_side_by_side.pdf\u0026#34;, options); } Resulting document in Side‑by‑Side mode:\nWhat happens under the hood:\nEach result page is effectively a wide canvas split into two halves. The left half shows the corresponding source page with deletions highlighted. The right half shows the target page with insertions highlighted. Content from the two documents never overlaps, so even heavily edited pages remain readable. Mode 3: Interleaved Comparison When to use: you want to review changes page by page in a standard PDF reader using its Two Page View (or \u0026ldquo;Facing Pages\u0026rdquo;) mode. Each source page sits on the left, its corresponding target page on the right — the physical page layout mirrors what Side‑by‑Side renders on a single canvas, but every page is kept at full size.\nusing GroupDocs.Comparison; using GroupDocs.Comparison.Options; using (var comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source.pdf\u0026#34;)) { comparer.Add(\u0026#34;target.pdf\u0026#34;); var options = new PdfCompareOptions { DisplayMode = PdfCompareOptions.ComparisonDisplayMode.Interleaved, AnnotationAuthorName = \u0026#34;GroupDocs\u0026#34; }; comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result_interleaved.pdf\u0026#34;, options); } Resulting document in Interleaved mode (shown in Two Page View):\nWhat happens under the hood:\nThe result document contains 2 × N pages for an N-page source/target pair. Odd-numbered pages (1, 3, 5 …) are source pages with deletions highlighted. Even-numbered pages (2, 4, 6 …) are target pages with insertions highlighted. AnnotationAuthorName stamps the author name on PDF annotations produced during comparison — useful when the result feeds into a review workflow where multiple authors\u0026rsquo; comments must be distinguishable. Tip: open the result in Adobe Acrobat Reader or any viewer that supports View → Page Display → Two Page View to get the intended left/right layout automatically.\nLimiting Comparison to a Page Range All three modes support page‑range filtering via the PagesSetup property. This is useful when only a specific chapter or section of a large document has changed and you want to skip the rest.\nusing GroupDocs.Comparison; using GroupDocs.Comparison.Options; using (var comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source.pdf\u0026#34;)) { comparer.Add(\u0026#34;target.pdf\u0026#34;); var options = new PdfCompareOptions { DisplayMode = PdfCompareOptions.ComparisonDisplayMode.SideBySide, PagesSetup = new PagesSetup { StartPage = 3, EndPage = 10 } }; comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result_pages_3_to_10.pdf\u0026#34;, options); } When PagesSetup is null (or not set), all pages are compared — the same behaviour as in previous versions.\nExploring PdfCompareOptions PdfCompareOptions is a PDF-specific subclass of CompareOptions, following the same pattern as WordCompareOptions introduced in version 26.2. It groups all PDF-only settings in one place so you do not accidentally apply Word- or spreadsheet-specific options to a PDF job.\nProperty Type Description DisplayMode ComparisonDisplayMode Controls result layout: Inline (default), SideBySide, or Interleaved. PagesSetup PagesSetup Page range to compare. When null, all pages are processed. CompareImagesPdf bool Whether to include embedded images in the comparison. AnnotationAuthorName string Author name stamped on PDF annotations (used in Interleaved mode). ImagesInheritanceMode enum Controls which document provides images when image comparison is disabled. A fully configured example:\nvar options = new PdfCompareOptions { DisplayMode = PdfCompareOptions.ComparisonDisplayMode.Interleaved, CompareImagesPdf = true, AnnotationAuthorName = \u0026#34;Review Bot\u0026#34;, PagesSetup = new PagesSetup { StartPage = 1, EndPage = 5 } }; The inherited CompareOptions base properties — InsertedItemStyle, DeletedItemStyle, ChangedItemStyle — are also available, letting you override the default highlight colours when needed.\nGetting Changes Programmatically Regardless of the display mode, you can retrieve a structured list of all detected differences via Comparer.GetChanges(). This is useful for building custom reports, feeding results into a review system, or collecting statistics about the scope of edits.\nusing (var comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source.pdf\u0026#34;)) { comparer.Add(\u0026#34;target.pdf\u0026#34;); comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result.pdf\u0026#34;); var changes = comparer.GetChanges(); // returns ChangeInfo[] Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Total changes detected: {changes.Length}\u0026#34;); } See the official API reference for details: Comparer.GetChanges.\nWorking with Password‑Protected PDFs Password‑protected PDFs are fully supported. Pass the password via LoadOptions when creating the Comparer:\nusing GroupDocs.Comparison; using GroupDocs.Comparison.Options; using (var comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source_protected.pdf\u0026#34;, new LoadOptions { Password = \u0026#34;secret\u0026#34; })) { comparer.Add(\u0026#34;target_protected.pdf\u0026#34;, new LoadOptions { Password = \u0026#34;secret\u0026#34; }); var options = new PdfCompareOptions { DisplayMode = PdfCompareOptions.ComparisonDisplayMode.SideBySide }; comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result_protected.pdf\u0026#34;, options); } Get a Free Trial You can download GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET from the official releases page. For unrestricted testing, request a temporary license — no credit card required.\nFrequently Asked Questions Q: Do I need Adobe Acrobat or any other PDF software installed on the server? A: No. GroupDocs.Comparison is a standalone .NET library that reads and writes PDF files without any third‑party dependencies.\nQ: Which display mode should I use by default? A: Start with Inline — it produces the most compact result and is the easiest to share. Switch to SideBySide when heavy edits make the inline view hard to read, or use Interleaved when reviewers will open the result in a \u0026ldquo;Two Page View\u0026rdquo; PDF reader.\nQ: Can I compare documents in formats other than PDF? A: Yes — the library supports Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, plain‑text files, and many more. The full list is in the documentation.\nQ: What happens if I don\u0026rsquo;t set a license? A: The library runs in evaluation mode. Output documents will contain a watermark and only the first few pages are processed. A temporary license removes these restrictions for testing.\nQ: Can I compare only images inside a PDF and ignore text changes? A: Use CompareImagesPdf = true on PdfCompareOptions to include image comparison. To focus exclusively on images you can combine this with the ImagesInheritanceMode property; see the API reference for details.\nOther Platforms GroupDocs.Comparison ships as a native library for several runtimes — the Inline / Side‑by‑Side / Interleaved workflow described above is available across all of them:\nGroupDocs.Comparison for Java GroupDocs.Comparison for Python via .NET GroupDocs.Comparison for Node.js via Java GroupDocs.Comparison Cloud API — language‑agnostic REST API The API surface is intentionally kept consistent across platforms, so the Comparer / PdfCompareOptions / DisplayMode concepts translate directly — only the syntax changes.\nConclusion GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET 26.4 gives you precise, code‑driven control over how PDF comparison results are presented. Inline mode covers the most common use case — a single, shareable redlined PDF. SideBySide keeps heavily changed content clean and readable. Interleaved pairs naturally with any PDF viewer\u0026rsquo;s Two Page View for a full‑size page‑by‑page walkthrough. On top of that, page‑range filtering lets you target exactly the sections that matter, and PdfCompareOptions consolidates all PDF‑specific settings in one discoverable class.\nPick the mode that fits your workflow, or generate all three and let each audience choose their preferred view.\nAdditional Resources GroupDocs.Comparison Documentation API Reference Get a Temporary License Sample Projects on GitHub GroupDocs.Comparison Blog Category Community Forum ","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/comparison/pdf-comparison-net-display-modes/","summary":"Discover how to automate PDF document comparison with GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET.

(COMPARISONNET-4731) Major Features Ability to produce side by side PDF comparison result Two new display modes have been added to the new PdfCompareOptions class via the ComparisonDisplayMode enum:\nSideBySide – each result page shows the source and target pages side by side. Deletions appear on the left (source side) and insertions on the right (target side). Content from the two documents never overlaps, making this mode ideal when documents differ heavily. Interleaved – produces a document with alternating pages: odd-numbered pages come from the source document (showing deletions) and even-numbered pages from the target document (showing insertions). Open the result in a PDF viewer with \u0026ldquo;Two Page View\u0026rdquo; to see each source/target pair side by side. Note: The previous default behavior (a single merged document with highlighted insertions and deletions) is preserved as ComparisonDisplayMode.Inline and remains the default value.\nAbility to specify pages range for PDF documents comparison You can now limit PDF comparison to a specific range of pages using the PagesSetup property on PdfCompareOptions.

A contract would come in as three files — the main agreement in Word, a pricing annex in Excel, and a partner\u0026rsquo;s terms sheet as a PDF — and I\u0026rsquo;d have to hand them off as one clean PDF. Nothing hard about it. Open Word, export to PDF. Open Excel, export to PDF. Open some free PDF-merger app, drag three files in, check the order, save.\nIt took maybe eight minutes. Multiply that by fifteen contracts a week and you\u0026rsquo;ve lost two hours to moving a mouse. Worse, every few weeks someone shipped a binder with the annex on page one because the filenames sorted alphabetically in the merger app.\nIf this sounds familiar, the rest of this post is the afternoon I finally replaced the ritual with code.\nThe real cost isn\u0026rsquo;t the time — it\u0026rsquo;s the one contract in fifty where the pages land in the wrong order and nobody notices until the client signs the wrong version.\nWhat I actually wanted Not \u0026ldquo;a fancy document pipeline.\u0026rdquo; Just three things:\nGive a method a list of files (any mix of DOCX, XLSX, PDF) and get one PDF back. Point the same logic at a folder and let it figure out the file list on its own. Pull out a page range from the finished binder without redoing the whole merge. That\u0026rsquo;s the whole job. If the library can\u0026rsquo;t do those three cleanly, I don\u0026rsquo;t want to know about it.\nSetup .NET 6.0 or later GroupDocs.Merger for .NET 24.10+ (grab a temporary license so you don\u0026rsquo;t ship the eval watermark) A folder with whatever mix of documents you\u0026rsquo;d normally hand-merge dotnet add package GroupDocs.Merger That\u0026rsquo;s it for dependencies. No external converter, no headless Office install, no PDF-manipulation library on top.\nStep 1 — Let a folder be the input I always start here because it\u0026rsquo;s the realistic entry point. In practice, something else (an upload handler, an email-ingest job, a nightly dump from finance) lands a bunch of files in a directory, and my code has to deal with whatever it finds.\n// Pick up every supported file in the drop folder; the PDF wins // the tie-break for position 0 so the merger keeps the output // as a PDF regardless of how files are named. string[] extensions = { \u0026#34;.pdf\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;.docx\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;.xlsx\u0026#34; }; var files = Directory.EnumerateFiles(folderPath) .Where(f =\u0026gt; extensions.Contains(Path.GetExtension(f).ToLowerInvariant())) .OrderBy(f =\u0026gt; Path.GetExtension(f).ToLowerInvariant() == \u0026#34;.pdf\u0026#34; ? 0 : 1) .ThenBy(f =\u0026gt; f) .ToArray(); if (files.Length == 0) throw new InvalidOperationException( $\u0026#34;No supported documents found in \u0026#39;{folderPath}\u0026#39;.\u0026#34;); The OrderBy trick is the interesting bit. GroupDocs.Merger picks its output format from whichever file you open first — if I hand it a DOCX as the primary document, I get a DOCX out. Since my pipeline always wants a PDF out, I make sure any existing PDF in the folder gets position 0.\nTwo things worth mentioning:\nToLowerInvariant() because a partner will one day send you REPORT.PDF and your lowercase-only filter will silently drop it. The ThenBy(f) is there only to make the output deterministic. Without it, two runs on the same folder can differ by filesystem mood. Step 2 — The merge itself Once I have an ordered list of paths, the merge is shorter than the description of the merge.\nConsole.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Primary source: {sourcePaths[0]}\u0026#34;); using var merger = new Merger(sourcePaths[0]); var joinOptions = new JoinOptions(); for (int i = 1; i \u0026lt; sourcePaths.Length; i++) { Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Joining: {sourcePaths[i]}\u0026#34;); merger.Join(sourcePaths[i], joinOptions); } merger.Save(outputPath); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Unified PDF binder saved to: {Path.GetFullPath(outputPath)}\u0026#34;); A few notes from using this in anger:\nThe using matters. Merger holds file handles on the sources; forget to dispose it and your drop-folder worker will eventually fail to delete its own inputs. JoinOptions is empty here because the defaults are what I want 95% of the time. When you do need it, that\u0026rsquo;s where page ranges, rotation, and insert positions live. When Excel goes into the binder, the sheet-to-page layout is decided by the source workbook\u0026rsquo;s print area. If your XLSX ends up on 38 pages and you wanted three, the fix is in the spreadsheet, not in JoinOptions. One sanity check I always add right after the save:\nusing var verify = new Merger(outputPath); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Result pages: {verify.GetDocumentInfo().PageCount}\u0026#34;); Two seconds of code that has caught more \u0026ldquo;silently dropped annex\u0026rdquo; bugs than any test I\u0026rsquo;ve written.\nStep 3 — Extract a slice later The follow-up request I get every single time: \u0026ldquo;Can you just send me the cover page?\u0026rdquo; or \u0026ldquo;Client only wants the signatures.\u0026rdquo; Rebuilding the whole binder to hand over two pages is silly — extract does it directly.\nusing var merger = new Merger(binderPath); merger.ExtractPages(new ExtractOptions(pages)); merger.Save(outputPath); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Extracted pages [{string.Join(\u0026#34;,\u0026#34;, pages)}] to \u0026#34; + Path.GetFullPath(outputPath)); pages is a int[] of 1-based page numbers you want to keep. Everything else gets dropped. It\u0026rsquo;s fast because the result is already a PDF — no conversion round-trip.\nBefore vs. after, honestly What I used to do With Merger.Join Per-contract time 5–10 minutes of clicking under 30 seconds end-to-end Typical failure Pages in the wrong order, nobody notices Whatever order the file list says, repeatably Scaling to 100/day Doesn\u0026rsquo;t — you hire a person One worker, bored most of the time Code you maintain A Confluence page titled \u0026ldquo;Binder Process v4\u0026rdquo; One class, ~70 lines Output Three PDFs and a prayer One binder, with page count you can log The row I care about most is the \u0026ldquo;failure\u0026rdquo; one. Manual merging fails silently; code that logs a page count fails loudly.\nA real story from a tiny legal-tech team A two-person startup I worked with had a paralegal whose morning started with contract assembly. Word agreement, Excel pricing, PDF addendum, stitched in an app, uploaded to DocuSign. About eight minutes a package, which at 30 packages a day was basically her whole morning.\nThey dropped the folder-scan method into the backend service that was already watching their intake email. Twenty seconds per package, plus a log line with the page count. The paralegal moved to reviewing contracts instead of assembling them. Nobody shipped a misordered binder again — not because the library is magic, but because the file list is explicit in the code and you can diff it.\nstring folder = @\u0026#34;C:\\IncomingContracts\u0026#34;; string output = @\u0026#34;C:\\Processed\\ContractPackage.pdf\u0026#34;; var files = CreatePdfBinderFromFolder(folder, output); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Package created: {files}\u0026#34;); That\u0026rsquo;s the whole integration. Everything upstream (the email listener, the storage path) was already in place.\nStuff I didn\u0026rsquo;t need today but will tomorrow The same library does a pile of things I didn\u0026rsquo;t cover because the article would drag. In roughly the order I\u0026rsquo;ve reached for them:\nWatermarks on the output for \u0026ldquo;DRAFT\u0026rdquo; stamps on pre-signature copies. Page rotation for scans that come in sideways. Custom page ordering when the source order isn\u0026rsquo;t the delivery order. PDF encryption for anything going to an external counterparty. All of that lives behind the same Merger API. The docs have the full list — I just wanted to point out that \u0026ldquo;merge\u0026rdquo; is the cheap starter and the rest is available when you need it.\nWhat I\u0026rsquo;d tell past-me If you\u0026rsquo;re about to write your own DOCX-to-PDF step because \u0026ldquo;it\u0026rsquo;s just one method,\u0026rdquo; stop.

Introduction GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET library lets you import the email message in any popular format, render it to the HTML, PNG, JPEG, and PDF, and also extract basic email message properties without actual rendering.\nActually, when working with email messages in GroupDocs.Viewer, users should be aware about two email-specific types:\nOptions.EmailOptions class – lets you control how the message is rendered (page size, date format, fields, etc.). Results.MailMessageViewInfo class — is produced by GroupDocs.Viewer after calling a GetViewInfo() method and holds the metadata about the loaded email message. Below is a very quick guide that shows how to render email messages and get their metadata.\n2. Load an email message and render it to all output formats Very shord code example below shows loading an input email message \u0026ldquo;sample.eml\u0026rdquo; to the instance of the Viewer class and then rendering it to all 4 supported output formats: HTML, PDF, PNG, and JPEG. As you can see, at the beginning all 4 view option classes are instantiated, then \u0026ldquo;sample.eml\u0026rdquo; is loaded to the Viewer instance by its file path, and then 4 Viewer.View() calls are made.\nusing GroupDocs.Viewer; using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options; HtmlViewOptions htmlOptions = HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources(\u0026#34;html-page{0}.html\u0026#34;); PdfViewOptions pdfOptions = new PdfViewOptions(\u0026#34;Output.pdf\u0026#34;); PngViewOptions pngOptions = new PngViewOptions(\u0026#34;image-page{0}.png\u0026#34;); JpgViewOptions jpegOptions = new JpgViewOptions(\u0026#34;image-page{0}.jpeg\u0026#34;); using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer(\u0026#34;sample.eml\u0026#34;)) { viewer.View(htmlOptions); viewer.View(pdfOptions); viewer.View(pngOptions); viewer.View(jpegOptions); } 3. Tuning email options for rendering Example above shows rendering with all options are set to their default values. However, there is an EmailOptions class, and it is available in all 4 view options (HtmlViewOptions, PdfViewOptions, PngViewOptions, JpgViewOptions) through the EmailOptions property. There is no need to manually create an insatnce of the EmailOptions class and assign it to the view options through the EmailOptions property — all this is already done, user just needs to adjust the property values if needed.\nThere are several properties in the EmailOptions class, explained below.\n3.1. Page size Enum PageSize controls the size of the output page. By default is Unspecified — the GroupDocs.Viewer adjusts the size to the most appropriate. Can be set in the next way, for example:\nPdfViewOptions pdfOptions = new PdfViewOptions(\u0026#34;Output.pdf\u0026#34;); pdfOptions.EmailOptions.PageSize = PageSize.A1; 3.2. Date and time format and time zone Email messages usually have a \u0026ldquo;Sent\u0026rdquo; date. The DateTimeFormat property allows to control how this datetime value will be formatted, and TimeZoneOffset allows to apply a positive or negative shift to this datetime. Example below:\nJpgViewOptions jpegOptions = new JpgViewOptions(\u0026#34;image-page{0}.jpeg\u0026#34;); jpegOptions.EmailOptions.DateTimeFormat = \u0026#34;MM d yyyy HH:mm tt zzz\u0026#34;; // completely custom format jpegOptions.EmailOptions.TimeZoneOffset = TimeSpan.FromHours(-5); // Add shift to 5 hours earlier If you leave DateTimeFormat null or empty string, then GroupDocs.Viewer uses the system’s current format.\n3.3. Adjusting fields Mail message contains message body and fields like subject, sent datetime, sender etc. GroupDocs.Viewer allows users to override the labels of these fields through the FieldTextMap property, which maps a Field enum value (e.g., Field.Subject) to the text that appears in the rendered output through the Dictionary. So the user can replace any entry or add new ones:\nPngViewOptions pngOptions = new PngViewOptions(\u0026#34;image-page{0}.png\u0026#34;); pngOptions.EmailOptions.FieldTextMap[Field.Subject] = \u0026#34;Email Subject\u0026#34;; pngOptions.EmailOptions.FieldTextMap[Field.Sent] = \u0026#34;Mail was sent at\u0026#34;; pngOptions.EmailOptions.FieldTextMap[Field.From] = \u0026#34;Sender\u0026#34;; 4. Load an email and get its view information It is possible to get some of the field values of the email message programmatically without rendering the email message itself. For doing that user should load the email message document to the Viewer instance and then use the Viewer.GetViewInfo() instance method, as shown below:\nusing System; using GroupDocs.Viewer; using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options; using GroupDocs.Viewer.Results; // ... using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer(\u0026#34;sample.eml\u0026#34;)) { ViewInfo generalInfo = viewer.GetViewInfo(ViewInfoOptions.ForHtmlView()); // explicit casting MailMessageViewInfo mailMessageInfo = (MailMessageViewInfo)generalInfo; Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;From: {0}; Subject: {1}; Sent: {2}.\u0026#34;, mailMessageInfo.From, mailMessageInfo.Subject, mailMessageInfo.Sent); // Render to any output format if needed viewer.View(HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources()); } It can be seen that Viewer.GetViewInfo() method returns an instance of the common ViewInfo class, which then is casted to the MailMessageViewInfo class. For now only the From, Subject, and Sent fields are supported.\nProperty Type Meaning Sent DateTime The exact time the email was sent. Subject string The text that appears in the email’s subject line. From string The sender’s email address as a plain string. All three properties are read-only.\n5. Summary Create a Viewer instance and specify the input email message file to its constructor by path or stream. Call the Viewer.GetViewInfo() method and then cast its result to the MailMessageViewInfo type to get metadata: Sent, Subject, and From fields. Use EmailOptions to change page size, date format, time-zone offset, or the text label shown for any field, then call the Viewer.View() method. These steps give you the core email properties and let you control how the message appears when rendered. No extra libraries or complex code are required.\nSee Also Render email messages as HTML, PDF, PNG, and JPEG files Get a free trial You can download a free trial version of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET from releases.groupdocs.com.

The current process looks like this:\nOpen a file in a viewer. Flip through each page looking for the phrase or image. Jot notes in a spreadsheet. Repeat for thousands of PDFs, Word files, and presentations. A single missed watermark can trigger a costly review, and the manual effort easily exceeds 8 hours per week for a small team. Moreover, rotating text, split words, or logos saved as images often escape the human eye, leaving the organization exposed.\nThere\u0026rsquo;s a Better Way GroupDocs.Watermark for .NET removes every guesswork step. Its format‑agnostic engine can read more than 100 document types, locate text, image and even styled watermarks, and expose all relevant metadata through a clean API. The following tutorial shows how a few concise snippets replace the manual loop with an automated, repeatable workflow.\nPrerequisites .NET 6.0 or later. GroupDocs.Watermark NuGet package (dotnet add package GroupDocs.Watermark). (Optional) a temporary license – see the link at the end of this article. The New Way: Automated Watermark Audit Below we walk through four core operations. Each block is a self‑contained example that you can drop into a console app, a CI step, or a background service.\nStep 1 – Scan Every Watermark First we need a full inventory. The Search() method returns a collection where each entry contains text (or image), location, rotation, page number and raw image size.\nusing (var wk = new Watermarker(filePath)) { var all = wk.Search(); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Found {all.Count} watermark(s) in \u0026#34; + $\u0026#34;\u0026#39;{Path.GetFileName(filePath)}\u0026#39;:\u0026#34;); int i = 0; foreach (var wm in all) { Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34; #{++i}: {(wm.Text ?? \u0026#34;[image]\u0026#34;)} \u0026#34;); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34; Page {wm.PageNumber}, \u0026#34; + $\u0026#34;Pos X={wm.X}, Y={wm.Y}, Rot={wm.RotateAngle}°\u0026#34;); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34; Size {wm.Width}×{wm.Height}\u0026#34;); if (wm.ImageData != null) Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34; Image bytes {wm.ImageData.Length}\u0026#34;); } } Key point: The loop runs in under a second for a typical 50‑page PDF.\nStep 2 – Verify Required Text Watermark Compliance policies often demand a specific phrase (e.g., \u0026ldquo;CONFIDENTIAL\u0026rdquo;). The TextSearchCriteria with SkipUnreadableCharacters handles split or rotated text automatically.\nusing (var wk = new Watermarker(filePath)) { var crit = new TextSearchCriteria(expectedPhrase); crit.SkipUnreadableCharacters = true; // ignore OCR artefacts var hits = wk.Search(crit); bool ok = hits.Count \u0026gt; 0; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34; [{(ok ? \u0026#34;PASS\u0026#34; : \u0026#34;FAIL\u0026#34;)}] \u0026#34; + $\u0026#34;\u0026#39;{expectedPhrase}\u0026#39; found {hits.Count} time(s)\u0026#34;); return ok; } The method returns true when the phrase appears at least once, giving you an instant PASS/FAIL flag.\nStep 3 – Verify Company Logo Logos survive as raster images, and their appearance may vary slightly due to compression. ImageDctHashSearchCriteria creates a perceptual hash of the reference logo and matches it with a configurable tolerance.\nusing (var wk = new Watermarker(filePath)) { var crit = new ImageDctHashSearchCriteria(logoPath); crit.MaxDifference = 0.9; // tolerate moderate scaling / colour shift var matches = wk.Search(crit); bool ok = matches.Count \u0026gt; 0; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34; [{(ok ? \u0026#34;PASS\u0026#34; : \u0026#34;FAIL\u0026#34;)}] \u0026#34; + $\u0026#34;logo instances: {matches.Count}\u0026#34;); return ok; } Even a low‑resolution copy of the logo will be recognized.\nStep 4 – Run a Full Compliance Report Real-world policies combine several requirements. The first block checks four formatting rules — text presence, font, size, and bold style — each combining TextSearchCriteria with TextFormattingSearchCriteria via .And():\nusing (var wk = new Watermarker(filePath)) { int passed = 0, failed = 0; var txtCrit = new TextSearchCriteria(expectedPhrase); bool hasText = wk.Search(txtCrit).Count \u0026gt; 0; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34; [{(hasText ? \u0026#34;PASS\u0026#34; : \u0026#34;FAIL\u0026#34;)}] Text present\u0026#34;); if (hasText) passed++; else failed++; var fontCrit = new TextFormattingSearchCriteria { FontName = expFont }; bool hasFont = wk.Search(txtCrit.And(fontCrit)).Count \u0026gt; 0; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34; [{(hasFont ? \u0026#34;PASS\u0026#34; : \u0026#34;FAIL\u0026#34;)}] Font {expFont}\u0026#34;); if (hasFont) passed++; else failed++; var sizeCrit = new TextFormattingSearchCriteria { MinFontSize = minSize }; bool hasSize = wk.Search(txtCrit.And(sizeCrit)).Count \u0026gt; 0; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34; [{(hasSize ? \u0026#34;PASS\u0026#34; : \u0026#34;FAIL\u0026#34;)}] Size \u0026gt;= {minSize}\u0026#34;); if (hasSize) passed++; else failed++; var boldCrit = new TextFormattingSearchCriteria { FontBold = true }; bool hasBold = wk.Search(txtCrit.And(boldCrit)).Count \u0026gt; 0; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34; [{(hasBold ? \u0026#34;PASS\u0026#34; : \u0026#34;FAIL\u0026#34;)}] Bold formatting\u0026#34;); if (hasBold) passed++; else failed++; The fifth rule verifies page coverage — the watermark must appear on every page. Finally, the verdict aggregates all results:\nvar perPage = wk.Search(txtCrit); var pages = new HashSet\u0026lt;int\u0026gt;(); foreach (var wm in perPage) if (wm.PageNumber.HasValue) pages.Add(wm.PageNumber.Value); var allPages = wk.Search(); int max = 0; foreach (var wm in allPages) max = Math.Max(max, wm.PageNumber ?? 0); bool full = max \u0026gt; 0 \u0026amp;\u0026amp; pages.Count == max; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34; [{(full ? \u0026#34;PASS\u0026#34; : \u0026#34;FAIL\u0026#34;)}] \u0026#34; + $\u0026#34;Pages covered {pages.Count}/{max}\u0026#34;); if (full) passed++; else failed++; string verdict = failed == 0 ? \u0026#34;COMPLIANT\u0026#34; : \u0026#34;NON-COMPLIANT\u0026#34;; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;\\nResult: {verdict} \u0026#34; + $\u0026#34;({passed} passed, {failed} failed)\u0026#34;); } The report is ready to be exported as JSON, CSV or fed directly into a ticketing system.\nSide‑by‑Side: Before vs. After Manual Review Automated Audit Time Hours per batch Seconds per file Accuracy Human error prone Deterministic API Scalability Limited to a few documents Handles thousands Code required None (but labor intensive) ~30 lines of C# Output Visual inspection only Structured PASS/FAIL report The contrast is striking: what used to occupy a full workday now runs as a background job.\nReal‑World Example: Legal Contract Library A law firm stores 15 000 contracts in a shared folder. Their policy requires the phrase \u0026ldquo;CONFIDENTIAL – CLIENT XYZ\u0026rdquo; and the firm’s seal on every page. By integrating the snippets above into a nightly PowerShell script, the firm achieved:\n100 % detection of missing marks (previously 8 % slipped through). Zero manual hours spent on the audit. An audit trail saved to an internal SharePoint list for future regulatory reviews. // Example of the nightly job entry point var folder = @\u0026#34;\\\\fileserver\\Contracts\u0026#34;; foreach (var pdf in Directory.GetFiles(folder, \u0026#34;*.pdf\u0026#34;, SearchOption.AllDirectories)) { // reuse the methods from steps 1‑4 ScanAll(pdf); VerifyText(pdf, \u0026#34;CONFIDENTIAL – CLIENT XYZ\u0026#34;); VerifyLogo(pdf, @\u0026#34;C:\\Logos\\firm-seal.png\u0026#34;); RunReport(pdf); } The script runs unattended and emails a summary each morning.\nWhat Else Can You Do with GroupDocs.Watermark? Beyond auditing, the sample project shows how to replace and remove watermarks programmatically. The screenshots below demonstrate both operations on a real PDF:\nOther scenarios you can build with the same API:\nAdd invisible tracking watermarks that embed a unique ID for leak tracing. Bulk replace outdated logos across an entire archive. Generate PDF‑ready compliance certificates after a successful audit. Integrate with Azure Functions or AWS Lambda for serverless processing. Each scenario uses the same core API – just swap the search criteria or the watermark type.\nConclusion What once required a team to flip through pages, write notes, and risk missed marks is now a few seconds of code that produces an auditable PASS/FAIL report. With GroupDocs.Watermark for .NET you gain:\nFull visibility of every watermark. Reliable detection of text, styled text and logos. Automatic compliance reporting. The ability to update or remove watermarks programmatically.

Applies a tiled text watermark to every document. Applies a tiled logo watermark with custom opacity and rotation. Adds a watermark only when it isn’t already present (idempotent processing). Finds and replaces an outdated company logo with a new one. By the end you’ll have a ready‑to‑run solution that can be dropped into any .NET project.\nWhy Batch Watermarking Matters Scalability – Process dozens or thousands of files with a single loop. Consistency – The same visual style is applied to every document, eliminating brand drift. Safety – Idempotent logic prevents duplicate watermarks when the pipeline is re‑run. Future‑proofing – Logo‑replacement code lets you roll out a re‑brand without touching each file manually. Prerequisites .NET 6.0 or later. GroupDocs.Watermark NuGet package (dotnet add package GroupDocs.Watermark). A license file (temporary or permanent). The examples work in evaluation mode if the file is missing. Two folders on disk: InputFolder – contains the source documents. OutputFolder – where watermarked copies will be written. Step 1 – Load the License The library requires a license to run without evaluation limits. The snippet below tries to load a license file and falls back silently if the file is not found.\ntry { var license = new License(); license.SetLicense(LicensePath); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;License applied successfully.\u0026#34;); } catch { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Warning: License not found. Running in evaluation mode.\u0026#34;); } Key point: The LicensePath variable should point to your .lic file. If the file is missing the code continues, which is helpful for quick testing.\nStep 2 – Discover Supported Files GroupDocs.Watermark can only process a specific set of extensions. The helper below scans a folder, builds a hash set of supported extensions via FileType.GetSupportedFileTypes(), and returns only the files that match.\nif (!Directory.Exists(folderPath)) { Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Folder not found: {folderPath}\u0026#34;); return new List\u0026lt;string\u0026gt;(); } var supportedExtensions = FileType.GetSupportedFileTypes() .Select(ft =\u0026gt; ft.Extension.ToLowerInvariant()) .ToHashSet(); var supportedFiles = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, \u0026#34;*.*\u0026#34;, SearchOption.AllDirectories) .Where(f =\u0026gt; supportedExtensions.Contains(Path.GetExtension(f).ToLowerInvariant())) .ToList(); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Found {supportedFiles.Count} supported file(s) in \u0026#39;{folderPath}\u0026#39;.\u0026#34;); return supportedFiles; Key point: The method guarantees that the later watermarking loops never encounter an unsupported format, which would otherwise throw a runtime exception.\nStep 3 – Apply a Tiled Text Watermark The following code creates a red, semi‑transparent \u0026ldquo;CONFIDENTIAL\u0026rdquo; watermark, rotates it ‑30°, and tiles it across every page using TileOptions.\nDirectory.CreateDirectory(outputFolder); int processed = 0, failed = 0; foreach (var filePath in files) { try { using var watermarker = new Watermarker(filePath); var watermark = new TextWatermark(watermarkText, new Font(\u0026#34;Arial\u0026#34;, 19, FontStyle.Bold)) { ForegroundColor = Color.Red, Opacity = 0.3, RotateAngle = -30, TileOptions = new TileOptions { LineSpacing = new MeasureValue { MeasureType = TileMeasureType.Percent, Value = 12 }, WatermarkSpacing = new MeasureValue { MeasureType = TileMeasureType.Percent, Value = 10 } } }; watermarker.Add(watermark); var outPath = Path.Combine(outputFolder, Path.GetFileName(filePath)); watermarker.Save(outPath); processed++; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;[OK] {Path.GetFileName(filePath)}\u0026#34;); } catch (Exception ex) { failed++; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;[FAIL] {Path.GetFileName(filePath)}: {ex.Message}\u0026#34;); } } Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Text watermark: {processed} processed, {failed} failed\u0026#34;); Key points:\nTileOptions creates a brick‑like pattern, making the watermark hard to remove without affecting the underlying content. The same snippet works for PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets and images because Watermarker abstracts the format. Step 4 – Apply a Tiled Logo Watermark If you prefer a visual brand mark, replace the text watermark with an image. The code below checks that the logo file exists, then tiles it with 40 % opacity and a ‑30° rotation.\nif (!File.Exists(logoPath)) { Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Logo not found: {logoPath}. Skipping image mode.\u0026#34;); return; } Directory.CreateDirectory(outputFolder); int processed = 0, failed = 0; foreach (var filePath in files) { try { using var watermarker = new Watermarker(filePath); using var watermark = new ImageWatermark(logoPath) { Opacity = 0.4, RotateAngle = -30, TileOptions = new TileOptions { LineSpacing = new MeasureValue { MeasureType = TileMeasureType.Percent, Value = 15 }, WatermarkSpacing = new MeasureValue { MeasureType = TileMeasureType.Percent, Value = 12 } } }; watermarker.Add(watermark); var outPath = Path.Combine(outputFolder, Path.GetFileName(filePath)); watermarker.Save(outPath); processed++; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;[OK] {Path.GetFileName(filePath)} - logo applied\u0026#34;); } catch (Exception ex) { failed++; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;[FAIL] {Path.GetFileName(filePath)}: {ex.Message}\u0026#34;); } } Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Logo watermark: {processed} processed, {failed} failed\u0026#34;); Key points:\nThe same TileOptions logic used for text works for images, giving a consistent look across all pages. Opacity lets the underlying content remain readable while still displaying the brand. Step 5 – Idempotent Watermarking (Skip Existing Marks) Running the pipeline multiple times should not stack watermarks on top of each other. This snippet searches for an exact instance of the watermark text before adding a new one.\nDirectory.CreateDirectory(outputFolder); int applied = 0, skipped = 0, failed = 0; foreach (var filePath in files) { try { using var watermarker = new Watermarker(filePath); var criteria = new TextSearchCriteria(watermarkText, false); var existing = watermarker.Search(criteria); if (existing.Count \u0026gt; 0) { skipped++; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;[SKIP] {Path.GetFileName(filePath)} – already contains watermark\u0026#34;); continue; } var watermark = new TextWatermark(watermarkText, new Font(\u0026#34;Arial\u0026#34;, 19, FontStyle.Bold)) { ForegroundColor = Color.Red, Opacity = 0.3, RotateAngle = -30, TileOptions = new TileOptions { LineSpacing = new MeasureValue { MeasureType = TileMeasureType.Percent, Value = 12 }, WatermarkSpacing = new MeasureValue { MeasureType = TileMeasureType.Percent, Value = 10 } } }; watermarker.Add(watermark); var outPath = Path.Combine(outputFolder, Path.GetFileName(filePath)); watermarker.Save(outPath); applied++; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;[OK] {Path.GetFileName(filePath)} – watermark applied\u0026#34;); } catch (Exception ex) { failed++; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;[FAIL] {Path.GetFileName(filePath)}: {ex.Message}\u0026#34;); } } Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Smart batch: {applied} applied, {skipped} skipped, {failed} failed\u0026#34;); Key point: TextSearchCriteria with false for case‑sensitivity ensures we only skip documents that already contain the exact watermark we intend to add.\nStep 6 – Replace an Outdated Logo Across the Folder When a company re‑brands, you may need to swap every old logo with the new one. The code combines two image‑search strategies – DCT‑hash for precision and colour‑histogram for tolerance – then overwrites the image data of each match.\nif (!File.Exists(oldLogoPath) || !File.Exists(newLogoPath)) { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Old or new logo file missing – aborting replacement.\u0026#34;); return; } Directory.CreateDirectory(outputFolder); byte[] newLogoData = File.ReadAllBytes(newLogoPath); int replaced = 0, notFound = 0; var settings = new WatermarkerSettings { SearchableObjects = new SearchableObjects { PdfSearchableObjects = PdfSearchableObjects.All } }; foreach (var filePath in files) { try { using var watermarker = new Watermarker(filePath, settings); var dct = new ImageDctHashSearchCriteria(oldLogoPath) { MaxDifference = 0.4 }; var hist = new ImageColorHistogramSearchCriteria(oldLogoPath) { MaxDifference = 0.5 }; var criteria = dct.Or(hist); var found = watermarker.Search(criteria); if (found.Count == 0) { notFound++; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;[--] {Path.GetFileName(filePath)} – old logo not found\u0026#34;); continue; } foreach (PossibleWatermark wm in found) { try { wm.ImageData = newLogoData; } catch { // Some watermark types cannot be overwritten – ignore. } } var outPath = Path.Combine(outputFolder, Path.GetFileName(filePath)); watermarker.Save(outPath); replaced++; Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;[OK] {Path.GetFileName(filePath)} – {found.Count} logo(s) replaced\u0026#34;); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;[FAIL] {Path.GetFileName(filePath)}: {ex.Message}\u0026#34;); } } Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Logo replacement: {replaced} updated, {notFound} without old logo\u0026#34;); Key points:\nWatermarkerSettings with PdfSearchableObjects.All enables the search to see logos that are stored as PDF artifacts. Combining DCT‑hash and colour‑histogram criteria catches both exact vector logos (Office) and rasterised versions (PDF). Best Practices \u0026amp; Tips Create the output folder once (Directory.CreateDirectory) – the method is idempotent and avoids race conditions. Log progress – the console output in each step makes it easy to see which files succeeded or failed. Tune Opacity and RotateAngle per brand guidelines; a value between 0.3–0.5 is usually enough to be visible but not intrusive. Use the idempotent smart batch for any recurring job (e.g., nightly branding updates). Test logo replacement on a small sample before running across the entire repository to ensure the search criteria are correctly tuned. Troubleshooting Common Issues Symptom Likely Cause Fix No files are processed ScanFolderForSupportedFiles returned an empty list Verify InputFolder path and that the folder contains supported formats (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PNG, JPG, etc.) Watermark not visible Opacity set too low or colour blends with background Increase Opacity (e.g., 0.5) or switch ForegroundColor to a contrasting hue PDF logos not found during replacement Logos added as content‑stream draw operators (not searchable) When seeding logos, add them with PdfArtifactWatermarkOptions so they become searchable artifacts Exception System.Drawing.Common on Linux Missing native GDI+ libraries Install libgdiplus on the target Linux machine or enable Unix support in the .csproj (\u0026lt;RuntimeHostConfigurationOption Include=\u0026quot;System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport\u0026quot; Value=\u0026quot;true\u0026quot; /\u0026gt;). Conclusion You now have a complete, production‑ready pipeline that can:\nLicense the library. Detect supported documents automatically. Apply tiled text or logo watermarks. Run safely multiple times without creating duplicates. Replace an old corporate logo across an entire folder. These building blocks can be mixed and matched to fit any branding or document‑protection workflow in .NET.\nAdditional Resources Product Documentation API Reference Get a Temporary License GitHub Sample Projects Blog Category Community Forum ","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/watermark/batch-watermark-pipeline/","summary":"Learn how to protect, brand, and update large collections of documents using GroupDocs.Watermark for .NET.

The library converts PDF, Word, Excel, EPUB, and 20+ more formats into clean, semantic Markdown — the format that LLMs, RAG pipelines, and static site generators work with best.\nIf you\u0026rsquo;ve been following the .NET release from September (or the full API overhaul in 26.3), the rationale is the same: document formatting carries semantics, and preserving that semantic structure is what makes a RAG system give good answers. The earlier post covers the problem (OCR flattens structure, LLMs need markdown) and the solution (a DOM-based renderer that walks the document and emits Markdown) in depth — we won\u0026rsquo;t repeat that story here.\nInstead, let\u0026rsquo;s focus on what\u0026rsquo;s new for Python developers.\nWhat you get A single wheel, no runtime dependencies. pip install groupdocs-markdown-net pulls a self-contained wheel that bundles the .NET runtime and every native library it needs. No dotnet install, no Microsoft Office, no Adobe Acrobat, no cloud services. Cross-platform. Windows x64/x86, Linux x64, macOS x64 and Apple Silicon (ARM64). Python 3.5 through 3.14. A pythonic API. Classes use PascalCase, methods and properties use snake_case, enum values use UPPER_SNAKE_CASE. Context managers dispose loaded documents deterministically. Truly async. Every static and instance method has an _async counterpart. File I/O is asynchronous and the CPU-bound conversion runs on a worker thread — your asyncio event loop stays free. AI-agent friendly. The installed wheel bundles an AGENTS.md file so coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex) auto-discover the API surface, idiomatic usage patterns, and troubleshooting tips. Documentation is also published as llms.txt, a single-file corpus (llms-full.txt), per-page Markdown, and an MCP server — see AI-friendly by design below for details. Get started pip install groupdocs-markdown-net The simplest conversion is a one-liner:\nfrom groupdocs.markdown import MarkdownConverter # Convert to a string md = MarkdownConverter.to_markdown(\u0026#34;business-plan.docx\u0026#34;) # Or write directly to a file MarkdownConverter.to_file(\u0026#34;business-plan.docx\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;business-plan.md\u0026#34;) That\u0026rsquo;s it — no configuration, no options, no boilerplate. Evaluation mode processes the first 3 pages and adds a watermark. To remove the limits, apply a license:\nfrom groupdocs.markdown import License License().set_license(\u0026#34;path/to/license.lic\u0026#34;) Or set GROUPDOCS_LIC_PATH as an environment variable and it will be applied automatically on import.\nSupported formats The Python package handles the same breadth of formats as the .NET library:\nPDF — .pdf Word / Rich Text — .doc, .docx, .docm, .dot, .dotx, .dotm, .rtf, .odt, .ott Spreadsheets — .xls, .xlsx, .xlsb, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv, .ods, .ots eBooks — .epub, .mobi Text / Markup / Help — .txt, .xml, .chm Pythonic examples Conversion options and image strategies from groupdocs.markdown import ( MarkdownConverter, ConvertOptions, MarkdownFlavor, ExportImagesToFileSystemStrategy, ) strategy = ExportImagesToFileSystemStrategy(\u0026#34;output/images\u0026#34;) strategy.images_relative_path = \u0026#34;images\u0026#34; # ![](images/img-001.png) options = ConvertOptions() options.flavor = MarkdownFlavor.GIT_HUB options.heading_level_offset = 1 # # Title -\u0026gt; ## Title options.include_front_matter = True # prepend YAML metadata options.image_export_strategy = strategy MarkdownConverter.to_file(\u0026#34;report.docx\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;output/report.md\u0026#34;, convert_options=options) Document inspection without conversion from groupdocs.markdown import MarkdownConverter info = MarkdownConverter.get_info(\u0026#34;business-plan.docx\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;{info.file_format}, {info.page_count} pages, author: {info.author}\u0026#34;) Loading a password-protected file from groupdocs.markdown import MarkdownConverter, LoadOptions, FileFormat load_opts = LoadOptions(FileFormat.DOCX) load_opts.password = \u0026#34;secret\u0026#34; MarkdownConverter.to_file(\u0026#34;protected.docx\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;output.md\u0026#34;, load_options=load_opts) Streams and context managers from groupdocs.markdown import MarkdownConverter with open(\u0026#34;document.docx\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;rb\u0026#34;) as stream: with MarkdownConverter(stream) as converter: converter.convert(\u0026#34;document.md\u0026#34;) Async API — converting many documents concurrently Because file I/O is asynchronous, asyncio.gather() lets a single worker process many documents without blocking:\nimport asyncio from groupdocs.markdown import MarkdownConverter async def convert_many(): await asyncio.gather( MarkdownConverter.to_file_async(\u0026#34;a.docx\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;a.md\u0026#34;, None), MarkdownConverter.to_file_async(\u0026#34;b.pdf\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;b.md\u0026#34;, None), MarkdownConverter.to_file_async(\u0026#34;c.xlsx\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;c.md\u0026#34;, None), ) asyncio.run(convert_many()) This makes the library a natural fit for ASGI frameworks like FastAPI — a single worker can serve many concurrent conversion requests without thread contention.\nError handling All conversion methods raise on failure, with specific exception types for common scenarios:\nfrom groupdocs.markdown import ( MarkdownConverter, DocumentProtectedException, InvalidFormatException, GroupDocsMarkdownException, ) try: MarkdownConverter.to_file(\u0026#34;annual-report.docx\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;annual-report.md\u0026#34;) except DocumentProtectedException: print(\u0026#34;Wrong or missing password.\u0026#34;) except InvalidFormatException: print(\u0026#34;File is corrupt or unsupported.\u0026#34;) except GroupDocsMarkdownException as ex: print(f\u0026#34;Conversion failed: {ex}\u0026#34;) Built for RAG and LLM pipelines Markdown is the preferred input format for embedding models and retrieval pipelines — it preserves headings, lists, tables, and emphasis while being easy to chunk and tokenize. A typical RAG ingestion looks like this:\nimport re from groupdocs.markdown import MarkdownConverter, ConvertOptions, SkipImagesStrategy, MarkdownFlavor options = ConvertOptions() options.image_export_strategy = SkipImagesStrategy() # text-only for RAG options.flavor = MarkdownFlavor.COMMON_MARK MarkdownConverter.to_file(\u0026#34;business-plan.pdf\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;business-plan.md\u0026#34;, convert_options=options) with open(\u0026#34;business-plan.md\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;r\u0026#34;, encoding=\u0026#34;utf-8\u0026#34;) as f: markdown = f.read() # Split by top-level headings, then embed/index each chunk chunks = [c for c in re.split(r\u0026#34;\\n#{1,2} \u0026#34;, markdown) if c.strip()] Because the library runs entirely on-premise, sensitive documents never leave your environment — a common requirement for regulated industries, legal teams, and internal knowledge bases.\nAI-friendly by design Most Python SDKs treat AI coding assistants as an afterthought — a developer still has to point the agent at documentation, paste in examples, or debug through trial and error. GroupDocs.Markdown for Python via .NET flips that: the library is designed so that agents like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Codex can pick it up without any manual setup.\nAGENTS.md ships inside the wheel This is the first GroupDocs package to bundle an AGENTS.md file directly inside the installed wheel. The file follows the emerging AGENTS.md convention — a plain-Markdown README specifically written for AI coding assistants rather than humans.\nWhen you run pip install groupdocs-markdown-net, a file lands at:\nsite-packages/groupdocs/markdown/AGENTS.md An AI assistant opening your project can read it and immediately learn:\nThe full public API surface (classes, methods, enums, exceptions) and how they relate. Idiomatic usage patterns for the most common scenarios — static vs instance API, sync vs async, image strategies, front matter, error handling. Common pitfalls and how to avoid them — e.g. which ConvertOptions overloads accept None, how to handle password-protected files, how to capture conversion warnings. Troubleshooting for platform-specific issues (libSkiaSharp on macOS, ICU on Linux). In practice this means you can say \u0026ldquo;use groupdocs-markdown-net to convert this folder of PDFs to Markdown for my RAG pipeline\u0026rdquo; and the agent writes working code on the first try — no hallucinated method names, no wrong argument order, no guessed imports.\nMachine-readable documentation For agents that need to look up something that isn\u0026rsquo;t in AGENTS.md, the full product documentation is also published in machine-readable form:\nSingle-file corpus — the complete docs as one concatenated Markdown file, ready to drop into an agent\u0026rsquo;s context window: https://docs.groupdocs.com/markdown/python-net/llms-full.txt Per-page Markdown — append .md to any docs URL to fetch the raw source: https://docs.groupdocs.com/markdown/python-net/quick-start-guide.md llms.txt index — a llms.txt-style table of contents that points agents at the pages they need: https://docs.groupdocs.com/markdown/python-net/llms.txt MCP server for live doc lookups For agents that speak Model Context Protocol, we expose the docs as an MCP server. Add this to your Claude Code or Cursor config:\n{ \u0026#34;mcpServers\u0026#34;: { \u0026#34;groupdocs-docs\u0026#34;: { \u0026#34;url\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;https://docs.groupdocs.com/mcp\u0026#34; } } } After that, your agent can query the documentation on demand instead of relying on training data that may be stale.\nMarkdown in, Markdown out There\u0026rsquo;s a nice symmetry here: the library\u0026rsquo;s output is Markdown — the format LLMs parse best for RAG — and its documentation is also Markdown, served as a single file for easy context-window ingestion. Whether you\u0026rsquo;re asking an agent to write code that uses the library, or asking an agent to understand your documents via the library, Markdown is the common medium.\nExport Example The snippets above are close to the shortest useful program you can write with the library.

Word\u0026rsquo;s built‑in Compare dialog is fine for an occasional manual check, but it does not help much when comparison becomes part of a regular process or has to be automated on the server side.\nGroupDocs.Comparison for .NET lets you run that comparison from code and produce the result in the format your reviewers prefer. The library supports two output comparison modes for Word documents:\nRevision mode — differences are written as Word revision (track‑changes) markup. Reviewers open the file, see the familiar Review → Accept / Reject controls, and work through changes one by one. Highlight mode — inserted, deleted, and modified text is rendered with colour highlights directly in the document body, so differences are visible at a glance while you read the final text. In this article we will walk through both approaches with working C# examples, explore the WordCompareOptions class and its properties, and discuss when each mode makes more sense\nPrerequisites Before you start:\n.NET 6.0 or later. GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET — install via NuGet: dotnet add package GroupDocs.Comparison A license file (GroupDocs.Comparison.lic). Without it the library runs in evaluation mode with watermarks and size limits. You can request a temporary license for testing. Two Word files to compare — we will call them source.docx and target.docx. Example content: source.docx target.docx Method 1: Revision‑Track Comparison When to use: reviewers need to accept or reject each change individually in Microsoft Word using the built‑in Review → Accept / Reject tools — for example, during contract negotiation or policy approval cycles.\nusing GroupDocs.Comparison; using GroupDocs.Comparison.Options; using (var comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source.docx\u0026#34;)) { comparer.Add(\u0026#34;target.docx\u0026#34;); var options = new WordCompareOptions { DetectStyleChanges = true, DisplayMode = WordCompareOptions.ComparisonDisplayMode.Revisions }; comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result_revision.docx\u0026#34;, options); } Resulting document in revision (track changes) mode:\nWhat happens under the hood:\nComparisonDisplayMode.Revisions tells the engine to emit native Word track‑changes markup. DetectStyleChanges = true makes the comparison pick up formatting differences (bold, font size, colour) alongside textual edits. The output file opens in Microsoft Word with the Review pane ready — every insertion, deletion, and style tweak is listed and can be accepted or rejected. Because revision mode does not need to re‑render the document content — it simply attaches revision metadata — it tends to be the faster of the two modes.\nMethod 2: Highlight‑Mode Comparison When to use: stakeholders want a clean document that clearly shows what changed but are not interested in working through every single revision. A typical scenario is a manager who opens the latest version in Word and quickly scans highlighted insertions and deletions to understand the impact of the update.\nusing GroupDocs.Comparison; using GroupDocs.Comparison.Options; using (var comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source.docx\u0026#34;)) { comparer.Add(\u0026#34;target.docx\u0026#34;); var options = new WordCompareOptions { DetectStyleChanges = true, DisplayMode = WordCompareOptions.ComparisonDisplayMode.Highlight }; comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result_highlighted.docx\u0026#34;, options); } Resulting document in highlight mode:\nWhat happens under the hood:\nComparisonDisplayMode.Highlight renders differences as inline colour highlights — red for deletions, green for insertions, blue for style changes (default colours that can be adjusted through WordCompareOptions / CompareOptions and their related StyleSettings). The document is ready for reading or printing without any extra steps. No track‑changes metadata is added to the file. Highlight mode does more work internally because it has to modify the actual document content and apply formatting. For large files you may notice a significant performance difference compared to revision mode.\nExploring WordCompareOptions Both examples above use WordCompareOptions — a class that inherits common settings from CompareOptions and adds properties specific to Word documents. Through this type you control display mode (DisplayMode), whether to track style changes (DetectStyleChanges), which author name appears on revisions (RevisionAuthorName), how line breaks, bookmarks etc.\nOn top of that, the base CompareOptions exposes styles for inserted, deleted, and changed items (InsertedItemStyle, DeletedItemStyle, ChangedItemStyle), so you can fine‑tune colours and formatting of the highlights when needed.\nHere is a small example of configuring options for a text‑only check in revision mode:\nvar options = new WordCompareOptions { DisplayMode = WordCompareOptions.ComparisonDisplayMode.Revisions, DetectStyleChanges = false, RevisionAuthorName = \u0026#34;QA Bot\u0026#34;, CompareBookmarks = true }; Getting Changes Programmatically Regardless of which output mode you choose (revisions or highlight), you can always obtain a structured list of detected differences via the common Comparer.GetChanges API. This method works for Word and all other supported formats.\nusing (var comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source.docx\u0026#34;)) { comparer.Add(\u0026#34;target.docx\u0026#34;); comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result_revision.docx\u0026#34;); var changes = comparer.GetChanges(); // returns ChangeInfo[] } This is useful when you need to post‑process changes in your own workflow — for example, to build a custom HTML report, feed differences into a review system, or aggregate statistics about edits. See the official API reference for more details: Comparer.GetChanges.\nWorking with Password‑Protected Documents If documents are protected with a password, they can still be compared: the password is passed via LoadOptions when creating the Comparer. This approach works the same way for Word, PDF, and other supported formats.\nusing GroupDocs.Comparison; using GroupDocs.Comparison.Options; using (var comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source_protected.docx\u0026#34;, new LoadOptions { Password = \u0026#34;secret\u0026#34; })) { comparer.Add(\u0026#34;target_protected.docx\u0026#34;); var options = new WordCompareOptions { DisplayMode = WordCompareOptions.ComparisonDisplayMode.Revisions }; comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result_protected.docx\u0026#34;, options); } Get a Free Trial You can download GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET from the official releases page. For unrestricted testing, request a temporary license — no credit card required.\nFrequently Asked Questions Q: Do I need Microsoft Word or Office installed on the server? A: No. GroupDocs.Comparison is a standalone .NET library; it reads and writes DOCX files on its own.\nQ: Can I compare documents in other formats besides Word? A: Yes — the library supports PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, presentations, plain‑text files, and many more. The full list is in the documentation.\nQ: What happens if I don\u0026rsquo;t set a license? A: The library works in evaluation mode. Output documents will contain a watermark and only the first few pages are processed. A temporary license removes these restrictions for testing.\nQ: Can I customise the highlight colours? A: The default colours work for most use cases. For advanced styling control, check the StyleSettings property on CompareOptions.\nOther Platforms GroupDocs.Comparison ships as a native library for several runtimes — the revision/highlight workflow described above is available across all of them:\nGroupDocs.Comparison for Java GroupDocs.Comparison for Python via .NET GroupDocs.Comparison for Node.js via Java GroupDocs.Comparison Cloud API — language‑agnostic REST API The API surface is intentionally kept consistent across platforms, so the Comparer / WordCompareOptions / DisplayMode concepts translate directly — only the syntax changes.\nConclusion GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET gives you two clean ways to diff Word documents from code. Revision mode plugs straight into the review workflow your team already uses; highlight mode delivers an instant visual summary for people who just need to see the changes. The WordCompareOptions class lets you fine‑tune the output — from style detection and author attribution to bookmark and document‑property comparison.\nPick the mode that fits your scenario, or generate both and let each audience choose their preferred view.\nAdditional Resources GroupDocs.Comparison Documentation API Reference Get a Temporary License Sample Projects on GitHub GroupDocs.Comparison Blog Category Community Forum ","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/comparison/word-comparison-net-revision-track-vs-highlight-modes/","summary":"Discover how to automate Word document comparison with GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET.

The internal DefaultSignatureLength value was too small for the generated signature, causing an exception. The limit has been raised, so the same code now signs documents successfully without any changes.\nFixes and enhancements Issue ID Category Summary SIGNATURENET‑5654 Bug Increased DefaultSignatureLength to support signatures generated via Azure Key Vault custom‑hash flow. Details Issue: Signing a PDF with Azure Key Vault and a custom hash failed because the default buffer for the signature was insufficient.

This round‑trip adds costly I/O, complicates cleanup, and makes handling nested archives a nightmare.\nGroupDocs.Parser for .NET eliminates those pain points. It lets you open an archive directly, enumerate every entry, and extract raw text (and metadata) completely in memory. In this article you will learn how to:\nInstall the Parser NuGet package. Pull text from a flat archive in a single pass. Recursively walk nested ZIP/RAR files. Apply best‑practice settings for robust processing. Why In‑Memory Archive Parsing Matters Processing archives in memory gives you:\nZero temporary files – no disk clutter, no leftover files. Speed – avoid the extra read/write cycle for each entry. Scalability – handle large archives or cloud‑based streams where a file system may not be available. Prerequisites .NET 6.0 or later. GroupDocs.Parser for .NET (latest version) – see the temporary license for a free evaluation. A ZIP or RAR archive containing supported documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT, etc.). Installation dotnet add package GroupDocs.Parser Add the required namespaces:\nusing GroupDocs.Parser; using GroupDocs.Parser.Data; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; Step 1 – Open the Archive The first step is to create a Parser instance that points at the archive file. GetContainer() returns a collection of ContainerItem objects – one per entry inside the archive.\n// Path to the archive you want to scan string archivePath = \u0026#34;./SampleDocs/InvoicesArchive.zip\u0026#34;; using (Parser parser = new Parser(archivePath)) { // Retrieve every file (or nested archive) inside the container IEnumerable\u0026lt;ContainerItem\u0026gt; attachments = parser.GetContainer(); if (attachments == null) { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Archive is empty or could not be read.\u0026#34;); return; } // Hand off the collection to a helper that extracts text/metadata ExtractDataFromAttachments(attachments); } What’s happening:\nThe Parser constructor loads the archive without extracting it to disk. GetContainer() lazily reads the archive’s directory and gives you ContainerItem objects you can work with. Step 2 – Process Each Entry ExtractDataFromAttachments walks the ContainerItem list, prints basic metadata, detects nested archives, and extracts text from regular documents. The method is completely reusable – call it once for a top‑level archive and again for any nested archive you discover.\n/// \u0026lt;summary\u0026gt; /// Recursively extracts metadata and plain‑text from each item in an archive. /// \u0026lt;/summary\u0026gt; static void ExtractDataFromAttachments(IEnumerable\u0026lt;ContainerItem\u0026gt; attachments) { foreach (ContainerItem item in attachments) { // Print a quick line with file name and size (optional) Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;File: {item.FilePath} | Size: {item.Metadata.Size} bytes\u0026#34;); try { // Each ContainerItem can open its own Parser instance using (Parser itemParser = item.OpenParser()) { if (itemParser == null) { // The item is not a supported document – skip it continue; } // Detect nested archives by extension (case‑insensitive) bool isArchive = item.FilePath.EndsWith(\u0026#34;.zip\u0026#34;, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) || item.FilePath.EndsWith(\u0026#34;.rar\u0026#34;, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase); if (isArchive) { // Recursively process the inner archive IEnumerable\u0026lt;ContainerItem\u0026gt;? nested = itemParser.GetContainer(); if (nested != null) { ExtractDataFromAttachments(nested); } } else { // Regular document – extract its raw text using (TextReader reader = itemParser.GetText()) { string text = reader.ReadToEnd(); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Extracted {text.Length} characters from {item.FilePath}\u0026#34;); // Here you could store `text` in a database, index it, etc. } } } } catch (UnsupportedDocumentFormatException) { // The file type is not supported by GroupDocs.Parser – ignore gracefully Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Skipping unsupported format: {item.FilePath}\u0026#34;); } } } Key Points Metadata access – item.Metadata gives you file name, size, creation date, etc., without reading the file contents. Recursive handling – The same method calls itself when it encounters another ZIP/RAR, giving you unlimited nesting support. Error resilience – UnsupportedDocumentFormatException is caught so a single bad file won’t abort the whole run. Step 3 – Putting It All Together Below is a minimal, copy‑pasteable program that combines the two snippets above. It demonstrates a full end‑to‑end flow: install, open, process, and report.\nusing GroupDocs.Parser; using GroupDocs.Parser.Data; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; class ArchiveTextExtractor { static void Main(string[] args) { string archivePath = args.Length \u0026gt; 0 ? args[0] : \u0026#34;./SampleDocs/InvoicesArchive.zip\u0026#34;; using (Parser parser = new Parser(archivePath)) { IEnumerable\u0026lt;ContainerItem\u0026gt; attachments = parser.GetContainer(); if (attachments == null) { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;No items found in the archive.\u0026#34;); return; } ExtractDataFromAttachments(attachments); } } static void ExtractDataFromAttachments(IEnumerable\u0026lt;ContainerItem\u0026gt; attachments) { foreach (ContainerItem item in attachments) { Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;File: {item.FilePath} | Size: {item.Metadata.Size} bytes\u0026#34;); try { using (Parser itemParser = item.OpenParser()) { if (itemParser == null) continue; bool isArchive = item.FilePath.EndsWith(\u0026#34;.zip\u0026#34;, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) || item.FilePath.EndsWith(\u0026#34;.rar\u0026#34;, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase); if (isArchive) { var nested = itemParser.GetContainer(); if (nested != null) ExtractDataFromAttachments(nested); } else { using (TextReader reader = itemParser.GetText()) { string text = reader.ReadToEnd(); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Extracted {text.Length} chars from {item.FilePath}\u0026#34;); } } } } catch (UnsupportedDocumentFormatException) { Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Unsupported format: {item.FilePath}\u0026#34;); } } } } Run the program with the path to your archive:\ndotnet run -- ./Data/LegalDocs.zip Best Practices \u0026amp; Tips Limit parsing options – By default Parser extracts all supported content. If you only need text, avoid calling additional heavy methods like GetImages(). Large archives – Process items sequentially as shown; avoid loading all texts into memory at once. Performance – Skip nested archives you don’t need by checking the file extension before recursing. Error handling – Always catch UnsupportedDocumentFormatException; many corporate archives contain binaries that the parser cannot read. Conclusion GroupDocs.Parser for .NET provides a clean, in‑memory way to read every document inside ZIP or RAR archives, no matter how deeply they are nested. With just a few lines of code you can replace complex unzip‑plus‑parse pipelines, reduce I/O overhead, and build reliable document‑ingestion services.\nNext steps\nExplore document comparison or metadata extraction features.

Manual inspection is error-prone and doesn\u0026rsquo;t scale, especially with large workbooks containing hundreds of rows and complex formulas. GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET enables programmatic Excel spreadsheet comparison with advanced cell-by-cell analysis, custom styling, and comprehensive change tracking. This guide demonstrates how to implement sophisticated Excel comparison workflows using GroupDocs.Comparison\u0026rsquo;s powerful API.\nWhat Is Excel Spreadsheet Comparison? Excel spreadsheet comparison identifies and highlights differences between two Excel workbooks at the cell level.

This technical guide shows cell-by-cell analysis, custom styling, summary pages, and visibility controls for comprehensive Excel document comparison in C#.","title":"Compare Excel Spreadsheets: Advanced Cell-by-Cell Analysis with C#"},{"content":"Legal professionals spend significant time comparing contract versions, tracking changes in legal documents, and ensuring accuracy across multiple document revisions. Manual comparison is time-consuming, error-prone, and doesn\u0026rsquo;t scale for high-volume legal workflows. A legal document comparison API provides programmatic document comparison capabilities that automate contract review processes, reduce human error, and enable integration into legal technology systems.\nWhat Is Legal Document Comparison? Legal document comparison is the process of identifying differences between two or more versions of legal documents, such as contracts, agreements, or legal briefs. This includes detecting text changes, structural modifications, formatting differences, and content additions or deletions. For legal professionals, accurate comparison is critical because even minor changes can have significant legal implications.\nDocument comparison for legal use cases involves:\nText-level changes: Added, deleted, or modified clauses, terms, and conditions Structural changes: Reordered sections, new paragraphs, or removed sections Formatting changes: Style modifications that might indicate emphasis or importance Metadata changes: Document properties, dates, or version information Traditional manual comparison requires lawyers to read through documents line by line, which is inefficient and increases the risk of missing critical changes. Programmatic document comparison automates this process, providing accurate, consistent results that can be integrated into legal workflows.\nCommon Legal Use Cases Legal document comparison APIs serve multiple purposes in legal practice:\nContract negotiation tracking: Compare contract versions during negotiations to identify what changed between rounds Compliance verification: Ensure documents meet regulatory requirements by comparing against templates or previous compliant versions Due diligence: Review multiple document versions during mergers, acquisitions, or legal audits Version control: Track changes across document revisions for case management and record-keeping Document review automation: Automate initial review processes to flag significant changes for attorney attention Audit trail generation: Create detailed change reports for legal documentation and compliance purposes How GroupDocs.Comparison Solves Legal Document Comparison GroupDocs.Comparison for Node.js via Java is a document comparison API that enables programmatic comparison of legal documents. The API supports multiple document formats commonly used in legal practice, including Word documents (DOCX, DOC), PDF files, and other formats. It provides backend integration capabilities, allowing legal technology systems to automate document comparison workflows.\nThe API detects changes at multiple levels: paragraphs, words, characters, formatting, and document structure. It generates comparison reports that highlight differences with color-coded annotations, making it easy for legal professionals to review changes quickly. The comparison results can be saved in various formats, and the API supports password-protected documents, which is important for maintaining client confidentiality.\nGroupDocs.Comparison operates as a backend API, meaning it can be integrated into existing legal technology platforms, document management systems, or custom applications without requiring client-side software installation. This makes it suitable for server-side automation, batch processing, and integration into legal workflow systems.\nCode Example: Comparing Contract Versions The following example demonstrates how to compare two Word documents representing contract versions using GroupDocs.Comparison for Node.js:\nconst groupdocs = require(\u0026#39;@groupdocs/groupdocs.comparison\u0026#39;); const path = require(\u0026#39;path\u0026#39;); async function compareContractVersions() { // Define paths to contract versions const originalContract = path.join(__dirname, \u0026#39;contracts\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;contract_v1.docx\u0026#39;); const revisedContract = path.join(__dirname, \u0026#39;contracts\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;contract_v2.docx\u0026#39;); const comparisonReport = path.join(__dirname, \u0026#39;output\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;contract_comparison.docx\u0026#39;); // Initialize comparer with original contract const comparer = new groupdocs.Comparer(originalContract); // Add revised contract for comparison comparer.add(revisedContract); // Perform comparison and save result await comparer.compare(comparisonReport); console.log(\u0026#39;Contract comparison complete. Report saved to:\u0026#39;, comparisonReport); } compareContractVersions().catch(console.error); Demonstration of GroupDocs.Comparison basic contract comparison showing detected differences between contract versions with default color coding (blue for inserted, red for deleted, green for modified content).\nThis code loads two Word documents, compares them programmatically, and generates a result document that highlights all differences. The result document shows inserted content in blue, deleted content in red, and modified content in green, providing a clear visual representation of changes between contract versions.\nAdvanced Comparison with Custom Styling For legal review workflows, you may need custom styling to match firm standards or improve readability. The following example demonstrates how to configure custom styles for different types of changes:\nconst groupdocs = require(\u0026#39;@groupdocs/groupdocs.comparison\u0026#39;); const java = require(\u0026#39;java\u0026#39;); const Color = java.import(\u0026#39;java.awt.Color\u0026#39;); const path = require(\u0026#39;path\u0026#39;); async function compareContractsWithCustomStyles() { const originalContract = path.join(__dirname, \u0026#39;contracts\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;contract_v1.docx\u0026#39;); const revisedContract = path.join(__dirname, \u0026#39;contracts\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;contract_v2.docx\u0026#39;); const comparisonReport = path.join(__dirname, \u0026#39;output\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;contract_comparison_styled.docx\u0026#39;); const comparer = new groupdocs.Comparer(originalContract); comparer.add(revisedContract); // Create comparison options with custom styling const compareOptions = new groupdocs.CompareOptions(); // Style for inserted content (new clauses) const insertedStyle = new groupdocs.StyleSettings(); insertedStyle.setHighlightColor(Color.BLUE); insertedStyle.setFontColor(Color.BLUE); insertedStyle.setBold(true); insertedStyle.setUnderline(true); compareOptions.setInsertedItemStyle(insertedStyle); // Style for deleted content (removed clauses) const deletedStyle = new groupdocs.StyleSettings(); deletedStyle.setHighlightColor(Color.RED); deletedStyle.setFontColor(Color.RED); deletedStyle.setStrikethrough(true); deletedStyle.setBold(true); compareOptions.setDeletedItemStyle(deletedStyle); // Style for changed content (modified clauses) const changedStyle = new groupdocs.StyleSettings(); changedStyle.setHighlightColor(Color.GREEN); changedStyle.setFontColor(Color.GREEN); changedStyle.setUnderline(true); compareOptions.setChangedItemStyle(changedStyle); // Generate summary page for quick overview compareOptions.setGenerateSummaryPage(true); // Perform comparison with custom options await comparer.compare(comparisonReport, compareOptions); console.log(\u0026#39;Styled comparison complete. Report saved to:\u0026#39;, comparisonReport); } compareContractsWithCustomStyles().catch(console.error); Demonstration of GroupDocs.Comparison with custom styling showing bold, underlined, and strikethrough formatting for different change types, along with the summary page overview.\nThis example configures specific visual styles for different change types, making it easier for legal professionals to quickly identify the nature of changes. The summary page provides an overview of all changes, which is useful for high-level review before detailed examination.\nComparing Password-Protected Legal Documents Legal documents often require password protection for confidentiality. GroupDocs.Comparison supports comparing password-protected documents:\nconst groupdocs = require(\u0026#39;@groupdocs/groupdocs.comparison\u0026#39;); const path = require(\u0026#39;path\u0026#39;); async function compareProtectedContracts() { const protectedContract1 = path.join(__dirname, \u0026#39;contracts\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;contract_v1_protected.docx\u0026#39;); const protectedContract2 = path.join(__dirname, \u0026#39;contracts\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;contract_v2_protected.docx\u0026#39;); const comparisonReport = path.join(__dirname, \u0026#39;output\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;protected_contract_comparison.docx\u0026#39;); // Create load options with passwords const sourceLoadOptions = new groupdocs.LoadOptions(\u0026#39;contract_password_1\u0026#39;); const targetLoadOptions = new groupdocs.LoadOptions(\u0026#39;contract_password_2\u0026#39;); // Initialize comparer with password-protected source document const comparer = new groupdocs.Comparer(protectedContract1, sourceLoadOptions); // Add password-protected target document comparer.add(protectedContract2, targetLoadOptions); // Perform comparison await comparer.compare(comparisonReport); console.log(\u0026#39;Protected contract comparison complete.\u0026#39;); } compareProtectedContracts().catch(console.error); This capability is essential for legal workflows where documents must remain protected during the comparison process, maintaining client confidentiality while enabling automated review.\nComparison with Manual Review Processes Manual contract comparison requires attorneys to read through documents sequentially, comparing each section manually. This approach has several limitations:\nTime consumption: Manual comparison of lengthy contracts can take hours Human error: Easy to miss subtle changes, especially in complex legal language Inconsistency: Different reviewers may identify different changes Scalability: Manual processes don\u0026rsquo;t scale for high-volume document review No audit trail: Manual comparison doesn\u0026rsquo;t generate standardized change reports Generic text diff tools are designed for plain text files and don\u0026rsquo;t handle Word document formatting, structure, or legal document complexities. They also don\u0026rsquo;t preserve document formatting in results, making them unsuitable for legal review.\nProgrammatic document comparison APIs address these limitations by providing automated, consistent comparison that detects all changes, generates standardized reports, and integrates into legal technology workflows. This enables legal professionals to focus on analyzing changes rather than identifying them.\nPerformance, Accuracy, and Automation Benefits Automated legal document comparison provides several advantages over manual processes:\nAutomation: Document comparison APIs can process multiple document pairs automatically, enabling batch processing of contract reviews, due diligence document sets, or compliance verification tasks.

No client-side installation required, making it perfect for cloud deployments and automated workflows.\nCode Example: Parallel Batch Comparison with GroupDocs.Comparison This example demonstrates GroupDocs.Comparison\u0026rsquo;s parallel batch processing capabilities:\nStep 1: Single Document Comparison First, create a function to compare a single document pair using GroupDocs.Comparison:\nconst groupdocs = require(\u0026#39;@groupdocs/groupdocs.comparison\u0026#39;); async function compareWordPair(sourcePath, targetPath, outputPath, options = {}) { const startTime = Date.now(); try { // GroupDocs.Comparison Comparer initialization const comparer = new groupdocs.Comparer(sourcePath); comparer.add(targetPath); // Use GroupDocs.Comparison CompareOptions for optimization const compareOptions = options.compareOptions || null; if (compareOptions) { await comparer.compare(outputPath, compareOptions); } else { await comparer.compare(outputPath); } return { success: true, duration: Date.now() - startTime, outputPath }; } catch (error) { return { success: false, duration: Date.now() - startTime, error: error.message }; } } Step 2: Parallel Batch Processing Next, implement parallel batch processing to handle multiple documents:\nasync function compareBatchParallel(documentPairs, options = {}, concurrency = 5) { const startTime = Date.now(); const results = []; // Process batches with controlled concurrency for (let i = 0; i \u0026lt; documentPairs.length; i += concurrency) { const batch = documentPairs.slice(i, i + concurrency); const batchResults = await Promise.all( batch.map(pair =\u0026gt; compareWordPair( pair.source, pair.target, pair.output, options )) ); results.push(...batchResults); } const totalDuration = Date.now() - startTime; const succeeded = results.filter(r =\u0026gt; r.success).length; const throughput = (succeeded / (totalDuration / 1000)).toFixed(2); return { total: documentPairs.length, succeeded, failed: documentPairs.length - succeeded, totalDuration, throughput: `${throughput} documents/second`, results }; } Step 3: Usage Example Finally, use GroupDocs.Comparison with optimized settings:\nasync function main() { const documentPairs = [ { source: \u0026#39;source/doc1.docx\u0026#39;, target: \u0026#39;target/doc1.docx\u0026#39;, output: \u0026#39;output/result1.docx\u0026#39; }, { source: \u0026#39;source/doc2.docx\u0026#39;, target: \u0026#39;target/doc2.docx\u0026#39;, output: \u0026#39;output/result2.docx\u0026#39; } ]; // Configure GroupDocs.Comparison CompareOptions for performance const compareOptions = new groupdocs.CompareOptions(); compareOptions.setSensitivityOfComparison(75); // Performance tuning compareOptions.setGenerateSummaryPage(true); const results = await compareBatchParallel( documentPairs, { compareOptions }, 5 // Parallel concurrency ); console.log(`Processed ${results.succeeded} documents`); console.log(`Throughput: ${results.throughput}`); } Demonstration of GroupDocs.Comparison batch processing results showing detected differences between document versions.\nThis example uses GroupDocs.Comparison\u0026rsquo;s Comparer class for individual comparisons and CompareOptions for performance tuning. The parallel batch function processes multiple documents simultaneously, leveraging GroupDocs.Comparison\u0026rsquo;s efficient comparison engine.\nWhy GroupDocs.Comparison Outperforms Manual and Basic Approaches Manual Comparison Limitations Manual document review doesn\u0026rsquo;t scale. Processing 1,000 documents manually would take days or weeks. GroupDocs.Comparison automates this, processing the same volume in minutes.\nSequential Processing Bottlenecks Sequential processing underutilizes system resources. In testing with GroupDocs.Comparison, sequential processing of 25 Word documents takes 3.09 seconds (average 123ms per document, 8.1 documents/second). This becomes a bottleneck at enterprise scale.\nGeneric Diff Tool Limitations Text diff tools fail with Word, PDF, and other document formats. They can\u0026rsquo;t handle formatting, structure, metadata, or embedded content. GroupDocs.Comparison understands document formats and detects changes at multiple levels: text, formatting, structure, and metadata.\nGroupDocs.Comparison Advantages GroupDocs.Comparison addresses these limitations through:\nFormat-aware comparison: Handles Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, and more Parallel processing: Utilizes multiple CPU cores efficiently Configurable options: Balance speed and accuracy based on needs Batch processing: Process entire directories programmatically Error handling: Robust error management for production use Real-World Performance Results with GroupDocs.Comparison Benchmark testing with GroupDocs.Comparison demonstrates significant performance improvements through parallel processing and optimization.\nSequential Processing Results Processing 25 Word documents sequentially with GroupDocs.Comparison:\nTotal duration: 3,087ms (3.09 seconds) Average per document: 123.12ms Throughput: 8.1 documents/second Success rate: 100% (25/25 documents) Parallel Processing Results The same 25 documents processed in parallel (concurrency: 5):\nTotal duration: 3,392ms (3.39 seconds) Average per document: 287.2ms Throughput: 7.37 documents/second Success rate: 100% (25/25 documents) Benchmark Comparison: Sequential vs Parallel Testing 20 document pairs with GroupDocs.Comparison shows clear performance gains:\nStrategy Duration Throughput Avg Duration Sequential 2,651ms 7.54 docs/sec 132.25ms Parallel (3) 1,907ms 10.49 docs/sec 125.35ms Parallel (5) 1,506ms 13.28 docs/sec 176.65ms Parallel (10) 1,244ms 16.08 docs/sec 306.50ms Key findings:\nParallel processing with concurrency 5 improves throughput by 76% (7.54 → 13.28 docs/sec) Parallel processing with concurrency 10 improves throughput by 113% (7.54 → 16.08 docs/sec) Optimal configuration processes documents 2.1x faster than sequential GroupDocs.Comparison Performance Features in Action These results demonstrate GroupDocs.Comparison\u0026rsquo;s capabilities:\nEfficient parallel execution: GroupDocs.Comparison handles concurrent comparisons without performance degradation Scalable throughput: Performance improves with higher concurrency levels Consistent results: 100% success rate across all test configurations Resource efficiency: Optimal CPU utilization through parallel processing Automation Benefits GroupDocs.Comparison enables:\n24/7 operation: Automated batch processing without human intervention Scheduled jobs: Process documents on a schedule Workflow integration: Integrate into existing document management systems Error resilience: Robust error handling ensures batch completion Optimizing GroupDocs.Comparison Performance Configure Comparison Options GroupDocs.Comparison\u0026rsquo;s CompareOptions class provides performance tuning:\nconst compareOptions = new groupdocs.CompareOptions(); // Adjust sensitivity for speed (0-100, lower = faster) compareOptions.setSensitivityOfComparison(75); // Control summary page generation compareOptions.setGenerateSummaryPage(true); // or false for faster processing // Disable style detection if not needed // compareOptions.setDetectStyleChanges(false); Choose Optimal Concurrency Based on benchmark results, optimal concurrency depends on system resources:\nSmall systems: Concurrency 3-5 (10.49-13.28 docs/sec) Medium systems: Concurrency 5-7 (13.28+ docs/sec) Large systems: Concurrency 10+ (16.08+ docs/sec) Test different concurrency levels with your document types and system configuration to find the optimal setting.\nBatch Processing Best Practices Process in batches: Group documents into manageable batches Monitor resources: Track memory and CPU usage Error handling: Implement retry logic for failed comparisons Progress tracking: Monitor batch progress for long-running operations When to Use GroupDocs.Comparison GroupDocs.Comparison is ideal for:\nBackend services: Automated document processing workflows Cloud deployments: Server-side processing without client installation Enterprise systems: Document management, version control, migration High-volume workflows: Compliance auditing, legal review, content migration CI/CD pipelines: Automated document change detection Advanced GroupDocs.Comparison Features Multi-Format Batch Processing GroupDocs.Comparison supports batch processing across multiple formats:\n// Process Word documents const wordPairs = findWordPairs(sourceDir, targetDir, outputDir); // Process PDF documents const pdfPairs = findPdfPairs(sourceDir, targetDir, outputDir); // Process Excel documents const excelPairs = findExcelPairs(sourceDir, targetDir, outputDir); Custom Comparison Settings GroupDocs.Comparison allows per-document customization:\n// Different settings for different document types const wordOptions = new groupdocs.CompareOptions(); wordOptions.setSensitivityOfComparison(75); const pdfOptions = new groupdocs.CompareOptions(); pdfOptions.setSensitivityOfComparison(85); // Higher accuracy for PDFs Progress Monitoring Track batch progress with GroupDocs.Comparison:\nconst progressCallback = (progress) =\u0026gt; { console.log(`Progress: ${progress.percentage}% (${progress.processed}/${progress.total})`); console.log(`Succeeded: ${progress.succeeded}, Failed: ${progress.failed}`); }; await compareBatchParallel(documentPairs, options, concurrency, progressCallback); Conclusion GroupDocs.Comparison for Node.js via Java provides powerful features for document comparison performance optimization. Real-world benchmarks show that parallel processing can improve throughput by over 100%, processing documents 2.1x faster than sequential methods.\nKey GroupDocs.Comparison advantages:\nParallel batch processing: Process multiple documents simultaneously Configurable options: Tune performance with CompareOptions Multi-format support: Handle Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, and more Scalable architecture: Scale from hundreds to millions of documents Production-ready: Robust error handling and progress tracking With GroupDocs.Comparison, you can transform document comparison from a sequential bottleneck into a scalable, high-performance operation capable of handling enterprise workloads efficiently.\nSee Also GroupDocs.Comparison Documentation\nAPI Reference\nAdditional Articles\nGroupDocs.Comparison for .NET free NuGet download\nGroupDocs.Comparison for Java free Maven download\nGroupDocs.Comparison for Node.js via Java free NPM download\nDownload a Free Trial You can download a free trial of GroupDocs.Comparison from the releases page.

This update brings a new capability for tagged‑PDF merging, a set of cross‑platform bug fixes, and several quality improvements.\nWhat’s new in this release New feature Preserve accessibility metadata when merging tagged PDFs – a new PreserveAccessibility option in the PdfJoinOptions class lets you keep the PDF/UA structure (tags) of source documents during a merge. When enabled, the resulting PDF contains auto‑generated accessibility tags, improving compliance with assistive‑technology requirements.

This update focuses on stability and usability improvements for the web‑based viewer UI for ASP.NET Core.\nWhat’s new in 8.1.2 # Change Details 1️⃣ Printing in image mode fixed The print dialog now works correctly when the viewer is configured to render pages as images (PNG/JPEG). Page numbers are updated and the Print button triggers the expected browser print flow. 2️⃣ Optional page‑scroll animation UI navigation can now skip the smooth scroll animation. Set EnableScrollAnimation to false in the UI configuration to jump instantly to the target page. 3️⃣ Thumbnail generation optimized for image mode When rendering to PNG/JPEG the actual page image is reused as a thumbnail, eliminating the extra thumbnail‑creation step and speeding up image‑only rendering. 4️⃣ Local fonts only The viewer no longer loads web fonts; it uses only the fonts installed on the host machine. This resolves the font‑fallback issue reported in #75. Disable scroll animation (code example) builder.Services.AddGroupDocsViewerUI(config =\u0026gt; { // Turn off the animated page‑scroll effect config.EnableScrollAnimation = false; }); When EnableScrollAnimation is set to false, page navigation switches instantly, as shown in the before/after animations on the release page.\nFixes and enhancements Printing in image mode – Resolved two bugs reported on the Free Support Forum where the print dialog either did nothing or displayed stale page numbers.

This presents a core challenge when attempting to utilize it directly with pythonnet:\n# ❌ This approach WILL NOT work import os import sys # Load coreclr first from pythonnet import load load(\u0026#34;coreclr\u0026#34;) import clr # Add folder with the library and dependencies to the system path dll_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), \u0026#34;dlls\u0026#34;)) sys.path.append(dll_dir) # Add reference to the library clr.AddReference(\u0026#34;GroupDocs.Annotation\u0026#34;) # Import the license class from GroupDocs.Annotation import License lic = License() lic.SetLicense(\u0026#34;license.lic\u0026#34;) Technical Analysis The Core Issue: GroupDocs.Annotation incorporates referenced assemblies (such as Aspose.* libraries) directly into the primary DLL with obfuscation. When pythonnet attempts to load the assembly:\nType Discovery Phase: pythonnet endeavors to enumerate all public types to construct Python module proxies Dependency Resolution: During enumeration, the CLR attempts to resolve embedded dependencies Failure Point: The standard .NET assembly resolver cannot extract obfuscated, embedded DLLs from resources Outcome: ReflectionTypeLoadException is thrown, preventing pythonnet from creating the Python module Root Cause:\nMost obfuscators depend on a bootstrap/resolver that executes in your entry assembly Since Python serves as the host (rather than a .NET executable), the bootstrap never runs The embedded dependencies remain inaccessible to the standard .NET assembly resolver Strategy 1: Wrapper-Based Integration (Streamlined Approach) Complexity Level: Low | Control Level: High-Level API | Best for: Rapid prototyping and straightforward markup workflows\nThe wrapper-based strategy employs a custom C# wrapper library that encapsulates standard markup operations and delivers simplified static methods. This technique manages dependency resolution internally, making it perfect for uncomplicated markup tasks with minimal Python/.NET interoperability complexity.\nMechanism: The wrapper library serves as a conduit between Python and GroupDocs.Annotation, managing all intricate dependency resolution while presenting clean, straightforward APIs for Python consumption.\n// C# Wrapper Implementation (SimpleWrapper.cs) using GroupDocs.Annotation.Models; using GroupDocs.Annotation.Options; using GroupDocs.Annotation.Models.AnnotationModels; namespace GroupDocs.Annotation.Wrapper; public static class SimpleWrapper { public static void AddAnnotation(string inputPath, string outputPath) { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Start adding area annotation...\u0026#34;); using (var annotator = new Annotator(inputPath)) { var areaAnnotation = new AreaAnnotation { Box = new Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 50), BackgroundColor = 65535, CreatedOn = DateTime.Now, Message = \u0026#34;Sample annotation\u0026#34; }; annotator.Add(areaAnnotation); annotator.Save(outputPath); } Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Annotation added successfully!\u0026#34;); } } # Python Usage (add_annotation_wrapper.py) import os import sys import clr # Add the dlls directory to the path dll_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), \u0026#34;dlls\u0026#34;)) sys.path.append(dll_dir) # Load coreclr from pythonnet import load load(\u0026#34;coreclr\u0026#34;) # Add reference to the wrapper clr.AddReference(\u0026#34;GroupDocs.Annotation.Wrapper\u0026#34;) # Import the wrapper class from GroupDocs.Annotation.Wrapper import SimpleWrapper # Use the simplified API SimpleWrapper.AddAnnotation(\u0026#34;files/resume.docx\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;files/annotated.docx\u0026#34;) Why This Strategy Succeeds The wrapper library operates in a .NET environment where the obfuscation bootstrap can execute correctly. It manages all intricate dependency resolution internally, then presents simple static methods that Python can invoke without concerning itself with the underlying complexity.\nSee the wrapper strategy in action:\nWhen to use this strategy: Rapid prototyping, straightforward markup workflows, and users who favor high-level APIs without requiring granular control over markup properties.\nStrategy 2: Manual Type Resolution (Comprehensive Control) Complexity Level: Medium | Control Level: Complete | Best for: Sophisticated markup scenarios and advanced customization\nThe manual type resolution strategy utilizes the wrapper solely as a dependency resolver for embedded assemblies, then provides direct access to GroupDocs.Annotation types and methods. This grants you complete control over markup creation and customization.\nMechanism: The wrapper manages dependency resolution, but then you employ reflection to directly access GroupDocs.Annotation types, circumventing the import issues while preserving full API access.\n# Manual Type Resolution (add_annotation_manual.py) import os import sys import clr # Add the dlls directory to the path dll_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), \u0026#34;dlls\u0026#34;)) sys.path.append(dll_dir) # Load coreclr from pythonnet import load load(\u0026#34;coreclr\u0026#34;) # Add reference to the wrapper (for dependency resolution) clr.AddReference(\u0026#34;GroupDocs.Annotation.Wrapper\u0026#34;) # Now add reference to the main library clr.AddReference(\u0026#34;GroupDocs.Annotation\u0026#34;) # Import System for reflection import System from System import Type, Activator, Array # Get the Annotator type using reflection annotator_type = Type.GetType(\u0026#34;GroupDocs.Annotation.Annotator, GroupDocs.Annotation\u0026#34;) # Create annotator instance input_path = \u0026#34;files/resume.docx\u0026#34;

This gives you full control over index creation and search customization.\nHow it works: The wrapper handles dependency resolution, but then you use reflection to directly access GroupDocs.Search types, bypassing the import issues while maintaining full API access.\n# Manual Type Resolution (run_search_manual.py) import os import sys import clr # Add the dlls directory to the path dll_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), \u0026#34;dlls\u0026#34;)) sys.path.append(dll_dir) # Load coreclr from pythonnet import load load(\u0026#34;coreclr\u0026#34;) # Add reference to the wrapper (for dependency resolution) clr.AddReference(\u0026#34;GroupDocs.Search.Wrapper\u0026#34;) # Now add reference to the main library clr.AddReference(\u0026#34;GroupDocs.Search\u0026#34;) # Import System for reflection import System from System import Type, Activator, Array # Get the Index type using reflection index_type = Type.GetType(\u0026#34;GroupDocs.Search.Index, GroupDocs.Search\u0026#34;) # Create index instance index_path = \u0026#34;index\u0026#34; index_instance = Activator.CreateInstance(index_type, index_path) # Get the Add method add_method = index_type.GetMethod(\u0026#34;Add\u0026#34;, [System.String]) add_method.Invoke(index_instance, [\u0026#34;files\u0026#34;]) # Get the Search method search_method = index_type.GetMethod(\u0026#34;Search\u0026#34;, [System.String]) search_result = search_method.Invoke(index_instance, [\u0026#34;invoice\u0026#34;]) # Process search results result_count = search_result.Count print(f\u0026#34;Found {result_count} documents\u0026#34;) for i in range(result_count): document_info = search_result[i] file_name = document_info.DocumentInfo.FileName print(f\u0026#34;Document: {file_name}\u0026#34;) Advanced Search Customization With manual type resolution, you can access all GroupDocs.Search features:\n# Advanced search with custom options def advanced_search_example(): # Get SearchOptions type search_options_type = Type.GetType(\u0026#34;GroupDocs.Search.Options.SearchOptions, GroupDocs.Search\u0026#34;) search_options = Activator.CreateInstance(search_options_type) # Configure search options fuzzy_search_type = Type.GetType(\u0026#34;GroupDocs.Search.Options.FuzzySearch, GroupDocs.Search\u0026#34;) fuzzy_search = Activator.CreateInstance(fuzzy_search_type) fuzzy_search.Enabled = True fuzzy_search.SimilarityLevel = 0.8 # Set fuzzy search in options set_fuzzy_method = search_options_type.GetMethod(\u0026#34;set_FuzzySearch\u0026#34;) set_fuzzy_method.Invoke(search_options, [fuzzy_search]) # Perform advanced search search_method = index_type.GetMethod(\u0026#34;Search\u0026#34;, [System.String, search_options_type]) results = search_method.Invoke(index_instance, [\u0026#34;confidential\u0026#34;, search_options]) return results See the manual approach with full control:\nWhen to use this method: Complex search scenarios, advanced customization, and developers who need fine-grained control over all GroupDocs.Search features.\nComplete Setup Guide Prerequisites System Requirements:\nOperating System: Windows 10/11 (x64), Linux, or macOS Python: 3.8+ (recommended: 3.11 or 3.12) .NET Runtime: .NET 6.0 or later Memory: Minimum 4GB RAM (8GB+ recommended for large documents) Disk Space: 500MB+ for dependencies and temporary files Python ↔ pythonnet ↔ .NET Compatibility Matrix Python Version pythonnet Version .NET Runtime Supported Target Frameworks Notes 3.7 – 3.10 2.5.x .NET Framework 4.6.2 – 4.8 net40, net45, net462, net48 ✅ Best for legacy .NET Framework DLLsRequires 64-bit Python + .NET Framework runtime 3.8 – 3.12 3.x (≥3.0.0) .NET 6 / .NET 7 / .NET 8 net6.0, net7.0, net8.0, netstandard2.0/2.1 ✅ Best for modern .NET buildsRequires .NET Desktop Runtime 6+ 3.13+ 3.x (≥3.0.3) .NET 6 / .NET 7 / .NET 8 Same as above ✅ SupportedRecommended for latest Python versions Step-by-Step Installation Step 1: Python Environment Setup\n# Create Python 3.11 virtual environment py -3.11 -m venv venv311 # Activate virtual environment (Windows) venv311\\Scripts\\activate # Verify Python version python --version Step 2: Install Dependencies\n# Upgrade pip and essential tools python -m ensurepip --upgrade python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel # Install pythonnet 3.0.5 python -m pip install pythonnet==3.0.5 # Install project requirements pip install -r requirements.txt Step 3: Build the Wrapper Library\n# Navigate to wrapper directory cd wrapper # Build and publish the wrapper dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained false -o ./../dlls # Return to root directory cd ..

Simply double-click the header, select the watermark, and press delete. Gone.\nIn this comprehensive guide, you\u0026rsquo;ll learn five professional methods to add secure watermarks to Word documents using GroupDocs.Watermark for .NET. Each approach offers different levels of protection, from basic header watermarks to advanced locked sections that resist removal attempts.\nWhat you\u0026rsquo;ll learn:\nWhy standard Word watermarks fail to protect sensitive documents How to implement 5 increasingly secure watermarking techniques Code examples you can use immediately in your C# projects Visual comparisons showing exactly how each method works When to use each protection level for your specific needs Download Complete Code Examples All the code samples demonstrated in this article are available in our official GitHub repository. You can clone, download, or browse the complete working examples to start implementing watermark protection in your own projects.\n🔗 Repository Link GroupDocs.Watermark Word Protection Examples\nMethod 1: Simple Header Watermark (Basic Protection) Protection Level: Low | Difficulty: Easy | Best for: Internal documents\nLet\u0026rsquo;s start with the most straightforward approach: adding a watermark to your document\u0026rsquo;s header section. While this method is easy to implement, it\u0026rsquo;s also the easiest to remove - making it suitable only for low-security scenarios.\nHow it works: The watermark is inserted as a shape object in the document header. It appears on every page automatically, but offers minimal protection against removal.\nprivate static void AddSimpleHeaderWatermark() { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Adding simple header watermark...\u0026#34;); var loadOptions = new WordProcessingLoadOptions(); using (var watermarker = new Watermarker(InputFile, loadOptions)) { var watermark = new TextWatermark(\u0026#34;Confidential\u0026#34;, new Font(\u0026#34;Arial\u0026#34;, 19)) { VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center, HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center, RotateAngle = 25, ForegroundColor = Color.Red, Opacity = 0.8 }; watermarker.Add(watermark); watermarker.Save(Path.Combine(OutputDir, \u0026#34;header_watermark.docx\u0026#34;)); } Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Header watermark added.\u0026#34;); } The Security Weakness Exposed Here\u0026rsquo;s the problem: if you open the document in Microsoft Word, double-click the header area, and activate header editing mode - the watermark appears as a simple shape that can be deleted with one click.\nWatch how easily it\u0026rsquo;s removed:\nWhen to use this method: Quick internal documents, draft versions, or situations where you need visible branding but don\u0026rsquo;t require strong security.\nMethod 2: Tiled Watermarks (Medium Protection) Protection Level: Medium | Difficulty: Easy | Best for: Multi-page documents requiring moderate security\nTiled watermarks significantly improve protection by creating multiple watermark instances across each page. Instead of one shape in the header, you get dozens of overlapping watermarks that make manual removal tedious and time-consuming.\nHow it works: The watermarking engine automatically duplicates your watermark text across the entire page surface with customizable spacing. Removing all instances becomes impractical for documents longer than a few pages.\nprivate static void AddTiledWatermark() { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Adding tiled watermark...\u0026#34;); var loadOptions = new WordProcessingLoadOptions(); using (var watermarker = new Watermarker(InputFile, loadOptions)) { var watermark = new TextWatermark(\u0026#34;Protected Document\u0026#34;, new Font(\u0026#34;Arial\u0026#34;, 19)) { VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center, HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center, RotateAngle = 25, ForegroundColor = Color.Red, Opacity = 0.9, TileOptions = new TileOptions { LineSpacing = new MeasureValue { MeasureType = TileMeasureType.Percent, Value = 12 }, WatermarkSpacing = new MeasureValue { MeasureType = TileMeasureType.Percent, Value = 12 } } }; var options = new WordProcessingWatermarkSectionOptions { Name = \u0026#34;TiledShape\u0026#34;, AlternativeText = \u0026#34;Repeated watermark\u0026#34; }; watermarker.Add(watermark, options); watermarker.Save(Path.Combine(OutputDir, \u0026#34;tiled_watermark.docx\u0026#34;)); } Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Tiled watermark added.\u0026#34;); } Why This Works Better Imagine trying to remove watermarks from a 20-page report where each page contains 15-20 overlapping instances. Even on a single page, the repetitive deletion process becomes frustrating enough to deter casual removal attempts.\nSee the tiled protection in action:\nWhen to use this method: Contracts, proposals, client-facing documents, or any multi-page content where you need visual deterrence against unauthorized use.\nMethod 3: Image Tiled Watermarks (Medium Protection) Protection Level: Medium-High | Difficulty: Easy | Best for: Brand protection, copyright claims, and professional documents\nImage watermarks take protection to the next level by using your company logo, signature, or custom graphics instead of plain text. When tiled across the document, they create a professional security layer that\u0026rsquo;s harder to replicate or forge than simple text watermarks.\nHow it works: The watermarking engine loads your image (PNG, JPG, or other formats) and automatically tiles it across every page with customizable spacing, rotation, and transparency. This creates a distinctive visual signature that\u0026rsquo;s uniquely yours.\nprivate static void AddImageWatermark() { using (Watermarker watermarker = new Watermarker(InputFile)) { // Create the image watermark object var watermark = new ImageWatermark(\u0026#34;logo.png\u0026#34;); // Configure tile options watermark.TileOptions = new TileOptions() { LineSpacing = new MeasureValue() { MeasureType = TileMeasureType.Percent, Value = 10 }, WatermarkSpacing = new MeasureValue() { MeasureType = TileMeasureType.Percent, Value = 8 }, }; // Set watermark properties watermark.Opacity = 0.7; watermark.RotateAngle = -30; // Add watermark watermarker.Add(watermark); watermarker.Save(Path.Combine(OutputDir, \u0026#34;image_watermark_word.docx\u0026#34;)); } } Why Image Watermarks Provide Better Security Unlike text watermarks that anyone can recreate by typing the same words, image watermarks contain unique visual elements that are much harder to reproduce:\nBrand logos with specific colors, gradients, and design elements Company seals or official stamps that establish authenticity Digital signatures that can be verified visually QR codes that link back to verification systems Complex graphics that would take significant effort to recreate The tiled pattern makes it nearly impossible to remove every instance without leaving visible artifacts. Even if someone removes 95% of the watermarks, the remaining 5% still proves the document\u0026rsquo;s origin.\nSee the professional image watermark in action:\nMethod 4: Password-Protected Hidden Section (High Protection) Protection Level: High | Difficulty: Medium | Best for: Confidential documents requiring strong security\nThis advanced technique inserts your watermark into a hidden, password-protected section that\u0026rsquo;s locked in \u0026ldquo;form fields only\u0026rdquo; mode. Even if someone discovers the watermark, they can\u0026rsquo;t edit or remove it without the password.\nHow it works: The watermark resides in a separate document section that\u0026rsquo;s configured as non-editable. Users can still read the document normally, but the watermark section requires password authentication to modify.\nprivate static void AddLockedWatermark_AllowOnlyFormFields() { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Adding locked watermark (allow form fields)...\u0026#34;); using (var watermarker = new Watermarker(InputFile)) { var watermark = new TextWatermark(\u0026#34;Do Not Edit\u0026#34;, new Font(\u0026#34;Arial\u0026#34;, 36, FontStyle.Bold | FontStyle.Italic)) { HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center, VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center, Opacity = 0.4, RotateAngle = 45, ForegroundColor = Color.Red }; var options = new WordProcessingWatermarkPagesOptions { IsLocked = true, Password = \u0026#34;012345\u0026#34;, LockType = WordProcessingLockType.AllowOnlyFormFields }; watermarker.Add(watermark, options); watermarker.Save(Path.Combine(OutputDir, \u0026#34;locked_allow_form_fields.docx\u0026#34;)); } Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Locked watermark added (AllowOnlyFormFields).\u0026#34;); } See the password protection working:\nThe Weakness of the manual Microsoft Word approach While this method offers excellent security, there\u0026rsquo;s an important limitation to understand. If you try to recreate this protection manually in Microsoft Word (using the built-in \u0026ldquo;Restrict Editing\u0026rdquo; feature), the hidden section still occupies space in the document structure. This can cause layout issues - for example, an extra blank page may appear if your original content completely fills the available space.\nSee the manual Word approach and its limitations:\nWhen to use this method: Legal documents, financial reports, intellectual property, or any content where unauthorized editing must be prevented.\nMethod 5: Locked Header with Editable Content Ranges (Maximum Protection) Protection Level: Very High | Difficulty: Medium | Best for: Documents requiring both security and user interaction\nThis sophisticated approach combines locked headers with Microsoft Word\u0026rsquo;s editable ranges feature. The watermark sits in a password-protected header that\u0026rsquo;s completely locked, while specific document areas remain editable for legitimate users.\nHow it works: The entire header section (containing your watermark) is locked with read-only protection. The document body is then marked with editable ranges, creating a security model where users can only modify pre-approved sections.\nprivate static void AddLockedHeaderWatermark() { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Adding locked header watermark...\u0026#34;); var loadOptions = new WordProcessingLoadOptions(); using (var watermarker = new Watermarker(InputFile, loadOptions)) { var watermark = new TextWatermark(\u0026#34;Company Confidential\u0026#34;, new Font(\u0026#34;Arial\u0026#34;, 19)) { VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center, HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center, RotateAngle = 25, ForegroundColor = Color.Red, Opacity = 0.8 }; var options = new WordProcessingWatermarkSectionOptions { SectionIndex = 0, IsLocked = true, Password = \u0026#34;012345\u0026#34;, LockType = WordProcessingLockType.ReadOnly }; watermarker.Add(watermark, options); watermarker.Save(Path.Combine(OutputDir, \u0026#34;locked_header_watermark.docx\u0026#34;)); } Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Locked header watermark added.\u0026#34;); } Watch the locked header protection:\nThe Visual Trade-off in Microsoft Word When you open documents with editable ranges in Microsoft Word, the editable sections appear highlighted in yellow. This visual indicator helps users identify where they can type, but it may affect the document\u0026rsquo;s professional appearance.\nSee the yellow highlighting in action:\nWhen to use this method: Template documents, forms requiring user input, collaborative documents with fixed branding, or scenarios where you need granular control over editing permissions.\nGet Started with GroupDocs.Watermark Today Ready to implement professional watermark protection in your documents?

They are also known as the workbooks. There are many formats of spreadsheet documents — Office Open XML (like XLSX, XLSM, etc.), Microsoft Excel Binary File Format (XLS, XLT), OpenDocument Spreadsheet format (ODS, FODS, OTS), text-based separator-delimited formats (CSV, TSV etc.) and so on. All of them form a so-called Spreadsheet formats family. GroupDocs.Viewer supports almost all spreadsheet formats on import and allows to render (convert) them to HTML, PDF, PNG, and JPEG. This article explains how to do that and which options are available and when and why they should be used.\nBasic usage First of all we need to talk about options. There is a separate class in a public API: SpreadsheetOptions in the GroupDocs.Viewer.Options. This class is designed especially for adjusting the rendering of the Spreadsheet formats family. It is accessible for all four view options through the SpreadsheetOptions property:\nHtmlViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions when rendering a Spreadsheet document to HTML, PdfViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions when rendering a Spreadsheet document to PDF, PngViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions when rendering a Spreadsheet document to PNG, JpgViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions when rendering a Spreadsheet document to JPEG. When not specified explicitly, the SpreadsheetOptions property has a default implicit value of the SpreadsheetOptions class instance, which will be explained later in this article.\nAt a glance, rendering a Spreadsheet document with GroupDocs.Viewer is super-easy and similar to all other formats — create a ViewOptions instance, create a Viewer instance with specified input Spreadsheet document, and call the Viewer.View(viewOptions) method. The following code sample demonstrates rendering of the single input Spreadsheet file to all 4 output formats: HTML, PDF, PNG, and JPEG. Please note that except for creating the instances of options classes there is no spreadsheet-related tuning, so all spreadsheet options are set to default values.\nusing GroupDocs.Viewer; using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options; // ... HtmlViewOptions htmlOptions = HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources(\u0026#34;worksheet_{0}.html\u0026#34;); PdfViewOptions pdfOptions = new PdfViewOptions(\u0026#34;Output_spreadsheet.pdf\u0026#34;); PngViewOptions pngOptions = new PngViewOptions(\u0026#34;worksheet_{0}.png\u0026#34;); JpgViewOptions jpegOptions = new JpgViewOptions(\u0026#34;worksheet_{0}.jpeg\u0026#34;); using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer(\u0026#34;spreadsheet.xlsx\u0026#34;)) { viewer.View(htmlOptions); viewer.View(pdfOptions); viewer.View(pngOptions); viewer.View(jpegOptions); } Now let’s talk about the worksheets. Every spreadsheet has at least one worksheet. In most table processing software like Microsoft Excel the worksheets are represented as tabs. Some spreadsheet formats may have only a single worksheet; this includes, for example, all text-based separator-delimited formats (CSV, TSV etc.).\nBy default the GroupDocs.Viewer renders all worksheets inside the given spreadsheet. But this can be changed. The Viewer.View() method has an overload, which obtains a set of page numbers as a 2nd parameter — Int32[] pageNumbers. When this parameter is used, only those pages will be rendered. This parameter is universal and is applied to all supported formats, which have pages, but in the context of the Spreadsheet formats family it describes exactly worksheet numbers to view.\nPlease note that page numbering in general and worksheet numbering in particular is 1-based, not 0-based, so it starts from the “1”, not from “0”.\nExample below shows how to render 1st and 3rd worksheet to PNG in a spreadsheet that has 3 worksheets.\nusing GroupDocs.Viewer; using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options; // ... PngViewOptions pngOptions = new PngViewOptions(\u0026#34;worksheet_{0}.png\u0026#34;); using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer(\u0026#34;spreadsheet.xlsx\u0026#34;)) { viewer.View(pngOptions, 1, 3); } Splitting worksheets into pages GroupDocs.Viewer renders documents to the pages, where under a page we understand some rectangular area of relatively small size, comparable to the area of display, or A4 paper. On the other hand, the worksheets may be very big. In particular, the now obsolete XLS format supports max 256 columns and 65536 rows, while the newer XLSX (Office Open XML Workbook) format and the Microsoft Excel both support up to 16384 columns and 1048576 rows. “Fitting” worksheets into pages is a crucial part of the rendering spreadsheets with GroupDocs.Viewer. In order to fit the worksheet into page(s), the GroupDocs.Viewer performs a worksheet splitting — worksheet is divided into multiple rectangular chunks, and each of them is placed on a separate page. There are 5 different methods, they are listed and described below.\nWhat is important — all these splitting methods are specified using the same way — using a specific static method (factory method) that creates an instance of the SpreadsheetOptions class.\nRender whole worksheet on one page SpreadsheetOptions.ForOnePagePerSheet()\nThe easiest and simplest way — turn off a splitting and adjust the page size to fit all content of the whole worksheet. This is a good choice when it is already known that the worksheet has a small size. However, if a worksheet is really big, this approach may lead to awful results. In particular, when rendering to the HTML format, the resultant HTML document may be huge, tens or even hundreds of MiB, which may cause troubles while viewing such big files in the web-browsers. When rendering to the JPEG format, things may be even worse if the width or height will overcome the max limit of 65535 pixels. So use this mode deliberately.\nSplit worksheet by page breaks SpreadsheetOptions.ForRenderingByPageBreaks()\nMicrosoft Excel itself adds automatic page breaks based on paper size and page settings, such as orientation and margins. If you switch to the “View” tab and enter the “Page Break Preview” mode, you can see blue lines that divide the whole worksheet area on rectangular chunks, each of them is labeled as “Page 1”, “Page 2”, and so on. This is how Microsoft Excel “suggests” to split a worksheet onto pages.\nWith this method the GroupDocs.Viewer follows the Microsoft Excel and splits the worksheets according to the page breaks, like Microsoft Excel does.\nNeed to mention that this option — to split a worksheet by page break — is a default option of the BaseViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions property, so when you create an instance of view options class, the “ForRenderingByPageBreaks()” option is selected by default.\nRender only print area SpreadsheetOptions.ForRenderingPrintArea()\nAlong with the page breaks, the Microsoft Excel has a “Print Area” concept. Print Area is actually one or more cell ranges in a worksheet, which are designated for printing, while any content outside of the Print Area will not be printed at all. For adding some cell range to the Print Area, go to the “Page Layout\u0026quot; tab, click on the “Print Area” button and then click on “Set Print Area” item (see screenshot below). In order to add another cell range to the Print Area, select this new range, click on the “Print Area” button and then click on “Add to Print Area” item at this time. In the “Page Break Preview” mode you can see all cell ranges in the Print Area.\nRender print area and split by page breaks SpreadsheetOptions.ForRenderingPrintAreaAndPageBreaks()\nGroupDocs.Viewer has a unique feature — combining the Print Area and page breaks in the single mode. In this case GroupDocs.Viewer takes into account all cell ranges of print area and page breaks in the worksheet and applies them simultaneously to split a worksheet onto pages.\nIn the following screenshot the red line shows the print area, and the blue line shows page breaks.\nSplit worksheet into pages manually by rows and columns SpreadsheetOptions.ForSplitSheetIntoPages(int countRowsPerPage) SpreadsheetOptions.ForSplitSheetIntoPages(int countRowsPerPage, int countColumnsPerPage)\nSometimes none of the splitting methods, described above, is acceptable, or the spreadsheet has a format that does not support page breaks and Print Areas, for example, the text-based CSV. For such cases GroupDocs.Viewer allows to manually specify the number of rows and/or number of columns that should be present on every page. In short, the difference between splitting by rows only vs. splitting by rows and columns is illustrated on the screenshot below. If the 1st overload of the ForSplitSheetIntoPages method is used, with one parameter, then the splitting by rows only is enabled. If the 2nd overload is used, where two parameters are specified, then the splitting by rows and columns is enabled.\nAdjusting additional options All described above is essential and enough for rendering spreadsheets using GroupDocs.Viewer. However, there are plenty of additional options, which are not mandatory, but allow users to adjust the rendering result even more.\nSome of these options are represented as the properties of the SpreadsheetOptions class, which itself is accessible as a SpreadsheetOptions property of the view options class. Others however are located in the ViewOptions abstract class, common for all 4 rendering modes.\nRender row and column headings When MS Excel or a similar table processing program opens a spreadsheet document, it displays the column and row heading, columns are lettered (A, B, C, AA, AB, …) and rows are numbered (1, 2, 3, …, 1048576). When rendering, GroupDocs.Viewer by default does not display these heading, because they are a part of the interface of the table processor, but not the document itself. But this can be changed with the RenderHeadings property of a boolean type. By default it is disabled and has a false value, but when enabled (true), the rows and columns headings will be present in the output document, as can be seen on a screenshot below.\nRender worksheet gridlines The concept of this option is very similar to the previous one. By default the GroupDocs.Viewer does not display the gridlines between cells, because they are not the part of the spreadsheet, but rather a way of representing a table content of a particular table processor. However, using a RenderGridLines property of a boolean type it is possible to mimic the MS Excel behavior. Assign a true value to the SpreadsheetOptions.RenderGridLines property, and the gridlines will be present in the output document, as shown on a screenshot below.\nControl cell text overflow It is a quite common scenario, when some text contains a text, and this text does not fit into the boundaries of this cell. How to display this text properly? GroupDocs.Viewer provides a special property SpreadsheetOptions.TextOverflowMode for solving such a problem. The TextOverflowMode property has a value of the type with the same name, TextOverflowMode, and it is an enum type with 4 possible items, explained below.\nOverlayIfNextIsEmpty By default the SpreadsheetOptions.TextOverflowMode property has a OverlayIfNextIsEmpty value, which mimics the default Microsoft Excel behavior. In short, this value allows text to overflow into adjacent cells, but only if these adjacent cells have no data. If adjacent cells are not empty, the overflowing text is truncated.\nThe screenshot above shows the HTML file, rendered from input XLSX with OverlayIfNextIsEmpty value. Take a note on the cell “B2” — it has a long text, and it is truncated, because the “C2” cell is not empty. The “C3” cell, however, also has a long text that does not fit, but it overflows over the “D2” and “E2” cells, because they are empty.\nOverlay The TextOverflowMode.Overlay value is slightly similar to the previous, but may be considered as more aggressive: long text, that does not fit into the original cell’s boundaries, always overflows, regardless of the adjacent cells. If adjacent cells also have some text or other data, it will be erased.\nScreenshot above demonstrates how this works. Long text from the cell “B2” overflows into the adjacent cells “C2”, “D2”, “E2”, “F2”. As a result, the original text from the cells “C2” and “F2” is erased.\nHideText The TextOverflowMode.HideText mode works as an opposite to the previously described Overlay mode — instead of overflow it ultimately truncates the text, the does not fit into the boundaries of its own cell, regardless whether there is a free space in adjacent cell(s) or not.\nOn the screenshot above this can be seen for the cell “C3” — despite there is a free space in adjacent “D3” and so on, the text is unconditionally truncated.\nAutoFitColumn The TextOverflowMode.AutoFitColumn value solves the problem using another approach — it increases the column width to fit the text of any cell. So regardless of how long the text inside the particular cell is — the width of the columns, where this cell is located, will be increased to fit the whole string.\nScreenshot above shows how it works. Of course, this approach may not be suitable in some cases, especially when the text in cell(s) is extra long — this will make the page to be extremely wide with annoying horizontal scrolling.\nRender hidden rows and columns Microsoft Excel and other table processors allow hiding particular rows and columns. By default GroupDocs.Viewer does not render such rows and columns, but this behavior may be changed. The ViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions.RenderHiddenRows and ViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions.RenderHiddenColumns properties, when set them to true, allow to display hidden rows and columns in the output file when rendering spreadsheet in HTML, PDF, PNG, or JPEG format.\nRender hidden worksheets Like hidden rows and columns, explained above, the spreadsheet file may contain one or more hidden worksheet(s). And as in the previous case, by default the GroupDocs.Viewer does not render the hidden worksheets. But this may be changed using the RenderHiddenPages property by setting its value to true. Need to mention that unlike the previously described properties, the RenderHiddenPages is located not in the SpreadsheetOptions, but in the BaseViewOptions abstract class that is common for all view options.\nSkip empty rows and columns Some spreadsheets are “sparse” — they contain a lot of empty spaces, which may occupy too much space. GroupDocs.Viewer has a feature to skip empty rows and columns from the rendering. If this feature is enabled, empty rows and/or columns are excluded from the resultant HTML, PDF, PNG and JPEG. The boolean properties SpreadsheetOptions.SkipEmptyRows and SpreadsheetOptions.SkipEmptyColumns are responsible for this feature.\nScreenshot above demonstrates both SkipEmptyRows and SkipEmptyColumns are enabled.\nRender or hide cell comments Cells within a spreadsheet document may have comments, and by default the GroupDocs.Viewer renders them all. But this can be disabled using the BaseViewOptions.RemoveComments property — if set its value to true, no comments will be rendered. Make a note that this property is located in the BaseViewOptions class, not in the SpreadsheetOptions.\nScreenshot above demonstrates rendering XLSX file with cell comments to PNG format with default options — comment for the “E2” cell is present in the resultant PNG file.\nSet worksheet margins in the output PDF pages When rendering worksheets to the PDF format, it is possible to control the page margins — the distance in centimeters from the border of the page to the content. There are 4 properties to control the top, right, bottom, and left margins:\nSpreadsheetOptions.TopMargin SpreadsheetOptions.RightMargin SpreadsheetOptions.BottomMargin SpreadsheetOptions.LeftMargin By default all these 4 properties have negative values, which means that the default margins are applied by the GroupDocs.Viewer. However, it is possible to set these values explicitly. Need to emphasize that page margins are applied only when the target format is PDF.\nThe following piece of source code demonstrates creating the PdfViewOptions, setting all 4 margins and rendering a document:\nusing GroupDocs.Viewer; using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options; // ... PdfViewOptions pdfViewOptions = new PdfViewOptions(\u0026#34;Output.pdf\u0026#34;); pdfViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions = SpreadsheetOptions.ForOnePagePerSheet(); pdfViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions.TopMargin = 2; pdfViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions.BottomMargin = 4; pdfViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions.LeftMargin = 8; pdfViewOptions.SpreadsheetOptions.RightMargin = 0; using (var viewer = new Viewer(\u0026#34;spreadsheet.xlsx\u0026#34;)) { viewer.View(pdfViewOptions); } The following image demonstrates the result:\nConclusion Spreadsheet formats are quite complex, and documents may have very different content of variable type and length. In a lot of cases it is impossible to render the complex spreadsheet document to some format with default options, and that’s why GroupDocs.Viewer provides such a comprehensive set of properties; with them every user will be able to adjust the rendering to meet his own needs.\nSee Also Render Excel and Apple Numbers spreadsheets as HTML, PDF, and image files Split a worksheet into pages Specify spreadsheet rendering options Get a free trial You can download a free trial version of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET from releases.groupdocs.com.

In contrast, PKCS#11 hardware tokens (such as USB dongles, smart cards, and HSMs) keep keys inside a tamper-resistant boundary, ensuring they never leave the device.\nThis post demonstrates how to use GroupDocs.Signature for .NET together with Pkcs11Interop to sign PDF documents with hardware tokens. The approach combines convenience and compliance: GroupDocs handles all PDF-level packaging (signature fields, digest calculation, embedding), while the token performs the actual cryptographic signing.\n⚠️ Early Implementation Notice\nThis solution is currently provided as an early implementation for using PKCS#11 digital signature dongles with GroupDocs.Signature.\nWhile it enables document signing with hardware tokens, we strongly recommend performing additional testing in your own environment to ensure it meets your compliance and security requirements.\nWe would greatly appreciate your feedback, test results, and suggestions for improvements.\nThe Challenge: Bridging PKCS#11 with PDF Signing Integrating PKCS#11 tokens into document signing workflows has several non-trivial challenges:\nLow-Level Complexity \u0026ndash; The PKCS#11 API (Cryptoki) requires management of slots, sessions, handles, and attributes to find the correct private key. PDF-Level Packaging \u0026ndash; Signing a PDF is more than just signing bytes: the library must compute correct digests over selected byte ranges, wrap signatures in CMS/PKCS#7 containers, include timestamps, and embed validation information. Vendor Variations \u0026ndash; Different tokens/vendor modules may require custom attribute mapping or additional middleware. Compliance \u0026amp; Auditability \u0026ndash; Production systems need robust PIN handling, session lifecycle control, error recovery, and logging. This sample project addresses these by combining ICustomSignHash interface in GroupDocs.Signature with Pkcs11Interop to offload signing to the token, while letting GroupDocs deal with the PDF structure.\nWhat the Sample Project Does Demonstrates signing PDF documents using PKCS#11 tokens (dongle, smart card, HSM). Supports Windows certificate store fallback: if a certificate is installed on Windows, the code can use it instead. Implements custom hash signing: GroupDocs computes the digest; the token only signs the hash. Keeps the private key on the hardware at all times \u0026mdash; never exported. Encapsulates token logic (session, key lookup, signing) in Pkcs11DigitalSigner.cs Provides helper logic in Helpers.cs (for example, certificate lookup in Windows store). Configuration centralized in Settings.cs. Acts as a reference implementation you can adapt to your environment. Setup \u0026amp; Prerequisites Prerequisites .NET 6.0 or above (or .NET Framework 4.6.2) A valid PKCS#11 library (DLL) from your token vendor A hardware token (USB dongle, smart card, or HSM) with a valid certificate GroupDocs.Signature for .NET (trial or licensed) The Pkcs11Interop library Installation git clone https://github.com/groupdocs-signature/esign-documents-with-pkcs11-using-groupdocs-signature-dotnet.git cd esign-documents-with-pkcs11-using-groupdocs-signature-dotnet dotnet restore Open solution in Visual Studio or your preferred IDE, ensure dependencies are resolved.\nRepository Structure Deep Dive GroupDocs.Signature-for-.NET-PKCS11-Sample/ ├── GroupDocs.Signature-for-.NET-PKCS11-Sample.csproj # Project file ├── Program.cs # Entry point and usage flow ├── Settings.cs # PKCS#11 / token configuration ├── Helpers.cs # Utility functions (Windows store, certificate filtering) ├── Pkcs11DigitalSigner.cs # Implements ICustomSignHash via PKCS#11 └── README.md # Explanation \u0026amp; usage instructions Program.cs \u0026ndash; orchestrates signing; demonstrates both token-based and Windows cert flow. Settings.cs \u0026ndash; contains constants/placeholders for Pkcs11LibraryPath, TokenPin, and CertificateSubject. Helpers.cs \u0026ndash; contains code to find certificates in Windows store by subject name (used for fallback flow). Pkcs11DigitalSigner.cs \u0026ndash; core logic: load the PKCS#11 module, open sessions, locate the private key object, sign a digest, and return an X509Certificate2 or a signature callback implementation. README.md \u0026ndash; provides overview, challenges, and usage instructions (which this blog complements). Code Explanation \u0026amp; Walkthrough Settings.cs public static class Settings { public const string Pkcs11LibraryPath = \u0026#34;\u0026lt;PKCS11_LIBRARY_PATH\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; public const string TokenPin = \u0026#34;\u0026lt;TOKEN_PIN\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; public const string CertificateSubject = \u0026#34;\u0026lt;CERT_SUBJECT\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; } This isolates configuration details so they can be easily replaced in your deployment environment.\nPkcs11DigitalSigner.cs \u0026mdash; High-Level Flow public class Pkcs11DigitalSigner : ICustomSignHash { public byte[] SignHash(byte[] hash) { // This method is invoked by GroupDocs.Signature when it needs the token to sign a hash using (var pkcs11 = new Pkcs11(Settings.Pkcs11LibraryPath, AppType.SingleThreaded)) { // Load module, open session, login with PIN, find key and perform signing } } public X509Certificate2 GetCertificateFromPkcs11() { // Retrieves the public certificate from the token so the signing options can be configured } } SignHash is the central method: it receives the digest computed by GroupDocs, then uses PKCS#11 APIs to sign it. GetCertificateFromPkcs11 fetches the certificate (with public key) stored in the token so that signature metadata is correct. Program.cs \u0026mdash; Usage Flow class Program { static void Main() { string inputFile = \u0026#34;sample.pdf\u0026#34;; string outputFile = \u0026#34;signed.pdf\u0026#34;; // (1) PKCS#11 signing var tokenSigner = new Pkcs11DigitalSigner(); var cert = tokenSigner.GetCertificateFromPkcs11(); using (var signature = new Signature(inputFile)) { var options = new DigitalSignOptions(cert) { Comments = \u0026#34;Signed with PKCS#11 token\u0026#34;, SignTime = DateTime.Now, CustomSignHash = tokenSigner // link token-based signing }; signature.Sign(outputFile, options); } // (2) Windows certificate store fallback (optional) // var storeCert = Helpers.GetCertificateFromWindowsStore(Settings.CertificateSubject); // using (var signature2 = new Signature(inputFile)) // { // var options2 = new DigitalSignOptions(storeCert) { ... }; // signature2.Sign(\u0026#34;signed_store.pdf\u0026#34;, options2); // } } } Key points:\nCustomSignHash property of DigitalSignOptions is set to tokenSigner, enabling GroupDocs to delegate actual hash signing to the token. The fallback flow (commented out) shows how to switch to Windows store cert when hardware token is unavailable. Use Cases \u0026amp; Real-World Scenarios India \u0026amp; CA-Issued USB Signature Dongles\nIn India, many legally binding eSignatures require certificates stored in USB dongles issued by certified authorities. This sample enables apps (e.g. document gateways, portals) to integrate directly with such dongles. Enterprise Document Workflows\nFor internal systems like contract management or approval flows, hardware signing ensures that unauthorized users cannot forge document signatures. Legal / Compliance-Driven Signing\nGovernments and regulated industries often require that signatures come from hardware-controlled keys. This integration helps meet strict audit and compliance demands. Common Pitfalls \u0026amp; Troubleshooting Incorrect library path → The PKCS#11 DLL path must match your token vendor\u0026rsquo;s module (e.g. softhsm2.dll, cryptoki.dll). PIN lock or failure → Repeated wrong PIN entries may lock the token; check vendor\u0026rsquo;s policy. Key not found → Ensure the correct certificate subject is given; the token must contain the certificate with matching subject. Driver or middleware missing → Some tokens require having vendor drivers installed before Pkcs11Interop can communicate. Threading issues → PKCS#11 operations may not be thread-safe; use single-threaded context unless vendor supports multiple. Timeouts or session resets → Long operations may cause sessions to close or time out; ensure proper session handling and cleanup. Security \u0026amp; Best Practices Never hardcode production secrets (PINs, library paths); use secure config or secrets management. Use strong PINs and rotate them where policy allows. Log operations and errors (without logging sensitive PINs). Limit token sessions and logout immediately after signing. Validate the signature after signing (chain checks, timestamping). Test across environments and token types (dongle/smart card/HSM). Next Steps \u0026amp; Resources Ready to try it yourself? Clone the repo, update the placeholders, and run the sample.

While LLMs (large language models) work well with HTML or plain text, these native document formats need conversion before they can be used effectively in LLM + RAG pipelines where we want to chat with a document or a set of documents.\nLLM (Large Language Model) — a pre-trained AI model that generates text and answers based on large text corpora.\nRAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) — an approach that combines an LLM with an external knowledge base (for example, corporate documents) so the model can retrieve and reason over domain content.\nThe following sequence diagram illustrates the typical steps involved in generating an answer to a question:\nThe quality of answers you get from a System (LLM + RAG) depends both on the System itself and on how well the source documents preserve their structure and meaning when fed into the retrieval pipeline.\nThe problem Document formatting is not only visual — it carries semantics. Headings, lists, tables, bold/italic emphasis, captions, and inline images all convey meaning that helps an LLM understand context. Naïvely converting documents (for example, using OCR that treats every page as a flat image) often loses those semantics. As a result, RAG retrieval and downstream LLM answers can become inaccurate or noisy.\nOCR can help for scanned documents but frequently removes structure (lists split across pages, table borders misinterpreted, lost annotations). It also adds cost and infrastructure overhead when processing large archives.\nThe solution An alternative approach is to parse documents with structural awareness and export that structure to a semantic, LLM-friendly format — Markdown. Markdown is lightweight, widely supported, and preserves headings, lists, tables, code blocks, emphasis, captions, and image references — exactly the features that improve retrieval quality.\nGroupDocs.Markdown for .NET converts popular document formats (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, ePub, and more) into clean, semantic Markdown suitable for ingestion into RAG systems. It’s an on-premise .NET library, so all processing happens inside your environment — no external services, no data leakage, and no dependency on remote GPUs.\nHow to get started GroupDocs.Markdown for .NET is available as a NuGet package, and also as MSI and ZIP downloads.\nInstall the NuGet package with the .NET CLI:\ndotnet add package GroupDocs.Markdown Or download installers and assemblies from the official downloads page: https://releases.groupdocs.com/markdown/net/\nExample usage (add to Program.cs):\n// Import the namespace using GroupDocs.Markdown; // Set the license (optional for evaluation) License.Set(\u0026#34;GroupDocs.Markdown.lic\u0026#34;); // Instantiate the converter for a source document var converter = new MarkdownConverter(\u0026#34;rich-text-formatting.docx\u0026#34;); // Convert and save output to file converter.Convert(\u0026#34;rich-text-formatting.md\u0026#34;); The converted rich-text-formatting.md file will be saved in the same folder as your application.\nThe following screenshot shows input DOCX file and output Markdown.\nIf you run without a license, the evaluation mode will process a limited number of pages (for example, the first three pages). To try the full product, request a temporary license.\nTo request a temporary license, open the Purchase Wizard, provide contact details, and click Get a temporary license on the Contact Details step. The temporary license will be emailed to you.\nLearn more about temporary licenses: https://purchase.groupdocs.com/temporary-license/.\nSupported file formats GroupDocs.Markdown for .NET supports a broad set of common enterprise and ebook formats. The full list of supported extensions:\nPDF pdf Spreadsheets .xls, .xlsx, .xlsb, .xlsm, .xlt, .xltx, .xltm, .xlam, .csv, .tsv, .ods, .ots, .fods, .numbers, .sxc Word / Rich Text .doc, .docx, .dot, .dotm, .dotx, .docm, .rtf, .odt, .ott Ebooks .azw3, .mobi, .epub Text / Markup / Help .chm, .xml, .txt How it works (internals — high level) When a document is processed, two main phases occur:\nDocument model extraction\nThe document is parsed into an in-memory object model that represents structural elements (paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, images, footnotes, annotations, etc.). The parser strives to preserve semantics (for example, list nesting, table cells, and image captions).\nMarkdown generation\nThe object model is walked and converted to Markdown according to configurable conversion options (how to handle images, table formatting, heading levels, special annotations, etc.). The result is a readable, semantically meaningful Markdown file ready for indexing by your RAG pipeline.\nExport Example The code example above shows how to export DOCX to Markdown. Lets take this code example and take a look at the source and output files as a demonstration.\nSource DOCX\nThe source file rich-text-formatting.docx contains various content blocks and is heavily formatted to highlight the main semantic elements.\nPreview powered by GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET UI. Output Markdown\nThe output content of rich-text-formatting.md is provided below, showing how different formatting elements are represented in the generated Markdown file.\nThis document contains a variety of formatted elements that are used to test document rendering quality during file conversion # \u0026lt;a name=\u0026#34;_toc76372684\u0026#34;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/a\u0026gt;**Font Formatting** Source Sans Pro Light, 14 pt.

GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET simplifies this by providing a tagging system to unify common metadata properties (e.g. Title, Author, Created Date) under tags. In this how-to guide, we’ll explore how to find, add, copy, update, and remove metadata using tags with GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET.\nGroupDocs.Metadata uses tags to label important metadata properties in a file, regardless of the document’s format or metadata standard. Each tag belongs to a category that groups related tags for easier discovery. For example: Content Tags: Describe the content of a file (e.g. language, genre, subject, rating) Person Tags: Identify people or organizations related to the content (e.g. document creator, editor, company) Time Tags: Represent timestamps in the file’s lifecycle (e.g. creation date, last modified time, print date) (Other categories include Legal, Origin, Tool, etc., each grouping relevant tags.) Using these tags, you can search and manipulate metadata in a unified way across Word documents, PDFs, images, and more. For instance, a “Author” or Creator tag in the Person category will match the author property in a Word document or a PDF without you needing to know the format-specific metadata field name. This makes tags extremely useful for organizing files and automating metadata management tasks.\nUse Cases In this section, we will introduce different use cases that highlight the practical applications.\nFind Metadata Properties by Tag One common use case is finding metadata entries in a file by their tag. This is particularly helpful for improving searchability – you can fetch specific info from any document without worrying about its format.\nSteps Load the file into a Metadata object. Find properties using FindProperties() with a tag-based predicate. You can filter by a specific tag or an entire category. Iterate through results to inspect or use the metadata. // Load the source document (e.g., a PowerPoint file) using (Metadata metadata = new Metadata(\u0026#34;source.pptx\u0026#34;)) { // Find properties tagged as \u0026#34;last editor\u0026#34; or \u0026#34;last modified time\u0026#34; var properties = metadata.FindProperties(p =\u0026gt; p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Person.Editor) || p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Time.Modified)); // List the found properties and their values foreach (var property in properties) { Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Property name: {property.Name}, Value: {property.Value}\u0026#34;); } } Adding Metadata Properties by Tag Sometimes a file might be missing certain metadata (e.g. no “Last Printed Date” recorded). Using GroupDocs.Metadata, you can add a metadata property by specifying a tag, and the API will place it in the appropriate metadata package if the format supports it.\nSteps Load the file into a Metadata object. Call AddProperties() with a predicate to identify where to add, and provide the new property value. Check the return value to see how many properties were added. Save the document (if you want to persist the changes). For example, the code below adds a “Last Printed” date/time to a document if it doesn’t already have one:\nusing (Metadata metadata = new Metadata(\u0026#34;source.pdf\u0026#34;)) { if (metadata.FileFormat != FileFormat.Unknown \u0026amp;\u0026amp; !metadata.GetDocumentInfo().IsEncrypted) { // Add a \u0026#34;Last Printed\u0026#34; date property if it\u0026#39;s missing int affected = metadata.AddProperties( p =\u0026gt; p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Time.Printed), new PropertyValue(DateTime.Now)); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Properties added: \u0026#34; + affected); metadata.Save(\u0026#34;output.pdf\u0026#34;); } } Here we use Tags.Time.Printed – the tag for “Printed” date under the Time category. The predicate p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Time.Printed) targets the known Printed metadata property. If the property is missing, AddProperties will add it with the value we provided (DateTime.Now in this case). The method returns the count of properties added (affected), which we output. Finally, we save the file to persist the new metadata.\nCopy Metadata Properties by Tag Sometimes, you may want to copy only specific types of metadata, such as author names or creation dates. The CopyTo method allows you to use a predicate to filter the properties to be copied. Here\u0026rsquo;s how to copy only metadata related to authors or creation dates:\nSteps Load both the source and the target files using the Metadata class. Use the CopyTo method to transfer metadata from source to target. Save the target file to apply the copied metadata. using (Metadata sourceMetadata = new Metadata(\u0026#34;source.xlsx\u0026#34;)) using (Metadata targetMetadata = new Metadata(\u0026#34;target.pptx\u0026#34;)) { // Copy only Author (Creator) and Creation Date metadata properties sourceMetadata.CopyTo(targetMetadata, p =\u0026gt; p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Person.Creator) || p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Time.Created)); // Save the changes targetMetadata.Save(); } In this example, only metadata with tags for Creator (author name) and Created Date will be copied from the Excel file (source.xlsx) to the PowerPoint presentation (target.pptx). This selective copying gives you precise control over your metadata, making it easy to ensure your documents only contain exactly the metadata you want.\nUpdating Metadata Properties by Tag Beyond adding new metadata, you often need to update existing metadata values (for instance, correcting an author name or standardizing dates). GroupDocs.Metadata provides the SetProperties() method for this. It uses tags to find the target properties and updates their values. If a targeted property is missing, SetProperties can add it – effectively combining update and add in one step.\nSteps Load the file into a Metadata object. Call SetProperties() with a tag-based filter and the new PropertyValue. Inspect the returned count of affected properties (updated or added). Save the changes to file if needed. For example, suppose we want to update the creation date and modified date of a document to the current date/time (this could be used to reset or standardize timestamps):\nusing (Metadata metadata = new Metadata(\u0026#34;source.pdf\u0026#34;)) { // Update all \u0026#34;Created\u0026#34; or \u0026#34;Modified\u0026#34; date properties to now int affected = metadata.SetProperties( p =\u0026gt; p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Time.Created) || p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Time.Modified), new PropertyValue(DateTime.Now)); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Properties updated or added: \u0026#34; + affected); metadata.Save(\u0026#34;updated.pdf\u0026#34;); } In the predicate, Tags.Time.Created and Tags.Time.Modified are tags for the creation date and last modification date respectively. The code will find any metadata properties marked with either tag and set them to DateTime.Now. If, say, a Created date property didn’t exist in the file’s metadata, the library will add it (because it’s a known standard property for that format)\nRemoving Metadata by Tag For privacy or compliance, you may need to remove certain metadata (e.g. author names or personal info) from documents. Tags make it easy to target and remove such metadata across different formats. The RemoveProperties() method accepts a predicate like the others, and will strip out any matching metadata entries.\nSteps Load the file into a Metadata object. Call RemoveProperties() with a tag-based predicate identifying properties to remove. Review the count of removed properties returned by the method. Save the file to apply changes. using (Metadata metadata = new Metadata(\u0026#34;source.docx\u0026#34;)) { // Remove properties that are tagged as Creator or Editor, or any string containing \u0026#34;John\u0026#34; int removedCount = metadata.RemoveProperties(p =\u0026gt; p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Person.Creator) || p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Person.Editor) || (p.Value.Type == MetadataPropertyType.String \u0026amp;\u0026amp; p.Value.ToString().Contains(\u0026#34;John\u0026#34;)) ); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Properties removed: \u0026#34; + removedCount); metadata.Save(\u0026#34;cleaned.docx\u0026#34;); } This predicate combines multiple criteria: any property tagged as Creator or Editor (both fall under the Person category) will be removed, and additionally any string metadata that contains \u0026ldquo;John\u0026rdquo; in its value will be removed. In a real scenario, you might use such logic to cleanse documents of personal data (like author names or client names).\nConclusion In this article, we demonstrated how GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET’s tagging feature allows you to add, copy, find, update, and remove metadata in a unified way across many document types. By leveraging tags like Content, Person, Time, etc., you can build workflows that organize files by consistent metadata, improve searchability (find all files by author or date, for example), and automate document categorization or cleanup.\nSee Also GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET Documentation GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET Product Overview GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET GitHub Examples GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET Release Notes Get a free trial You can download a free trial version of GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET from releases.groupdocs.com.

Find text changes, formatting differences, and generate comparison reports with 7 practical examples.","title":"Python Word Document Comparison Guide: Find Differences Between DOCX Files Instantly with GroupDocs.Comparison"},{"content":"Overview Many document formats are tightly bound with fonts. For example, when a user adds some text to the DOCX document, this text always has some defined font. Some document formats usually store the font data embedded in the document file itself, like PDF. But others, like Office family formats, usually rely on the fonts installed in the operating system.\nThere are also plenty of font formats. For example, most installed fonts are presented in TTF (TrueType) and OTF (OpenType) formats. Office Open XML documents also work with EOT (Embedded OpenType) format. On the web, however, WOFF and WOFF2 are the most used formats.\nTable of contents Overview Getting all used fonts Processing the missing fonts Specifying missing font Replacing the missing font Excluding the fonts for HTML Conclusion See also Get a free trial Getting all used fonts The most useful feature in the context of fonts is to list and return them. GroupDocs.Viewer provides a special method GetAllFonts() — when the document is loaded to the instance of the Viewer class, call this method to obtain a list of all fonts, used in this document. In the returned list every font will be presented as in instance of the type, which implements a IFontInfo interface. This interface contains common properties for every possible font: a family name, style, format, and a binary content.\nSpecific families of formats, like WordProcessing, Spreadsheet, Presentation, and PDF, have specialized implementations of the IFontInfo; these implementations provide more data that are specific to the particular formats family. For example, the WordProcessingFontInfo, PresentationFontInfo, and PdfFontInfo types contain the IsEmbedded boolean property — a flag that indicates where this font is stored (is it embedded in the loaded document body or installed in the OS). The SpreadsheetFontInfo type contain lot of Spreadsheet-specific font data: its color, whether it is underlined or is strikeout. WordProcessingFontInfo may contain the alternative family name. And so on.\nShort example is below:\nusing GroupDocs.Viewer; // ... const string filename = \u0026#34;sample.docx\u0026#34;; string inputPath = \u0026#34;\\full\\path\\\u0026#34; + filename; using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer(inputPath)) { Fonts.IFontInfo[] allFonts = viewer.GetAllFonts(); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;{0} fonts found in the \u0026#39;{1}\u0026#39; document\u0026#34;, allFonts.Length, filename); foreach (Fonts.IFontInfo font in allFonts) { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Font \u0026#39;{0}\u0026#39; of \u0026#39;{1}\u0026#39; style has {2} bytes and is of \u0026#39;{3}\u0026#39; format\u0026#34;, font.FamilyName, font.Style, font.Content.Length, font.Format); } } Please note that font extraction is supported only for the WordProcessing, Spreadsheet, Presentation, and PDF families of formats, for all other document formats the GetAllFonts() method returns an empty array.\nProcessing the missing fonts The situation, when some document was created on the author’s machine and uses some font \u0026ldquo;AAA\u0026rdquo;, and then is processed using the GroupDocs.Viewer on some client’s machine, where font \u0026ldquo;AAA\u0026rdquo; is missing, is typical. In such case GroupDocs.Viewer tries to substitute this font using some complex font substitution rules: it analyzes the metadata of the document, alternative names of the missing font, settings of the document, settings of the OS, list of all available fonts, installed in the OS and so on. Finally, when by some reason the OS is “clean”, when it has no installed fonts at all, then GroupDocs.Viewer will substitute the missing font with the one, that is embedded inside the GroupDocs.Viewer assembly (DLL); this font will serve as a \u0026ldquo;last resort\u0026rdquo; in case when no other fonts are available. For example, for the WordProcessing family formats, the GroupDocs.Viewer internally stores the \u0026ldquo;Fanwood\u0026rdquo; free font.\nAt this moment the GroupDocs.Viewer does the font substitution operation “silently” during rendering of the document (when the Viewer.View() method is invoked) — there are no any messages or events when the font substitution mechanism is activated and which font is missing and onto which is replaced/substituted, and for which exact document. Such feature is hard to implement because it is too unclear, vague, and ambiguous what kind of notification should be emitted, in which form and how they can be utilizing on the client’s side.\nHowever, the GroupDocs.Viewer provides the users two possible ways to solve such a situation: manually specify the missing font and manually substitute the missing font.\nSpecifying missing font When the user initially knows that some document uses font \u0026ldquo;AAA\u0026rdquo;, and also knows that this font \u0026ldquo;AAA\u0026rdquo; is not installed on the target machine, where document should be rendered, and user has the binary content of this font \u0026ldquo;AAA\u0026rdquo;, he can specify it before calling the Viewer.View() method.\nIn order to specify one or many custom fonts, which are not installed in the target operating system, user should add custom font source(s). Font source is actually a folder, where one or many fonts are located. It is represented by a FolderFontSource class. And the FontSettings class has a method SetFontSources() for adding the font sources to the GroupDocs.Viewer.\nThe following code snippet demonstrates this. Let\u0026rsquo;s assume that the \u0026ldquo;sample.docx\u0026rdquo; document uses some rare font \u0026ldquo;AAA.ttf\u0026rdquo;, that is not installed on the target operating system. Then the user puts the file \u0026ldquo;AAA.ttf\u0026rdquo; to the \u0026quot;C:\\custom_fonts\u0026quot; folder and then creates an instance of the FolderFontSource class that points to this folder. Then this instance is passed to the FontSettings static class, and then the \u0026ldquo;sample.docx\u0026rdquo; file is rendered to HTML format. As a result, the \u0026ldquo;AAA\u0026rdquo; font will be used in the output HTML document.\nusing GroupDocs.Viewer; using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options; using GroupDocs.Viewer.Fonts; // ... // Specify the font source. FolderFontSource fontSource = new FolderFontSource(@\u0026#34;C:\\custom_fonts\u0026#34;, SearchOption.TopFolderOnly); FontSettings.SetFontSources(fontSource); using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer(\u0026#34;sample.docx\u0026#34;)) { // Create an HTML file. HtmlViewOptions viewOptions = HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources(); viewer.View(viewOptions); } Replacing the missing font When the user initially knows that some document uses font “AAA”, and also knows that this font “AAA” is not installed on the target machine, where document should be rendered, but user has no access to the binary content of this font “AAA”, he can specify another font “BBB”, that will be used instead of the missing “AAA”. Unlike the previous case, this should be done using the view options, which then are passed to the Viewer.View() method.\nThis option is called a “DefaultFontName”, it is a property of a string type, declared in the abstract class BaseViewOptions, so it is common for all rendering options: HtmlViewerOptions, PdfViewOptions, PngViewOptions, and JpgViewOptions.\nWhen this option is specified, the GroupDocs.Viewer uses this font during rendering instead of any not available fonts. For example, if the document includes a font containing non-English characters, specify the default font name to ensure that GroupDocs.Viewer replaces any missing font with one which has the same character set. Of course, the font, which name is specified in the DefaultFontName property, should be installed on the operating system, where the GroupDocs.Viewer renders the document.\nThe following code snippet shows how to set the default font name:\nusing GroupDocs.Viewer; using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options; // ... using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer(\u0026#34;sample.pptx\u0026#34;)) { // Create options for rendering HTML document with embedded resources HtmlViewOptions viewOptions = HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources(); // Specify a default font name is the options viewOptions.DefaultFontName = \u0026#34;Courier New\u0026#34;; // Render input PPTX to output HTML viewer.View(viewOptions); } Excluding the fonts for HTML When rendering the documents to the HTML format, GroupDocs.Viewer by default exports all used fonts to the HTML document. This ensures correct display regardless of the required fonts existing on the viewer device. Fonts can be stored in the resultant HTML document as external resources (HtmlViewOptions.ForExternalResources) or be embedded directly into HTML-markup using the data URI scheme through base64 encoding (HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources). Font exporting to HTML format is supported by almost all document formats that support fonts itself: Microsoft Office (except Excel), OpenDocument formats, emails, PDF, eBooks and so on.\nHowever sometimes this feature is unwanted. Actually, when fonts are included, they significantly increase the size of the produced HTML document. So when the target machine or device, where the HTML document should be displayed, has all the used fonts to be installed, the browser can use these system-installed fonts.\nIn order to solve such demands the GroupDocs.Viewer has an ability to exclude fonts from the produced HTML document, and this can be done in two ways: exclude all fonts and exclude specific fonts only.\nBoth these options are represented in the HtmlViewOptions class as different properties:\nExcludeFonts is a flag that disables export of all used fonts to the produced HTML document, when enabled (true). By default this option is disabled (false). FontsToExclude is a list of string, each one represents one font name, that should be excluded from the produced HTML document. By default this list is empty — no fonts are excluded. Please note that this option works only if the ExcludeFonts property is disabled (false). Two code snippets below demonstrate both these possibilities: first one shows using the ExcludeFonts, while second — FontsToExclude.\nusing GroupDocs.Viewer; using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options; // ... using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer(\u0026#34;sample.docx\u0026#34;)) { // Create an HTML file. var viewOptions = HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources(); viewOptions.ExcludeFonts = true; viewer.View(viewOptions); } using GroupDocs.Viewer; using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options; // ... using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer(\u0026#34;presentation.pptx\u0026#34;)) { // Create an HTML file. var viewOptions = HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources(); viewOptions.FontsToExclude.Add(\u0026#34;Times New Roman\u0026#34;);// Exclude the Times New Roman font. viewOptions.FontsToExclude.Add(\u0026#34;Arial\u0026#34;);// Exclude the Arial font. viewer.View(viewOptions); } Conclusion The GroupDocs.Viewer is primarily focused on rendering documents of different formats into the commonly widespread “viewable” formats — HTML, PDF, JPEG, and PNG. But during the last period of time we added several useful features regarding font processing that allow to review and examine used fonts, tune-up their export and adjust font substitution.\nSee Also Getting all used fonts in the loaded document Set custom fonts Replace missing font Exclude fonts when rendering to HTML Get a free trial You can download a free trial version of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET from releases.groupdocs.com.

Your top-secret financial report gets the same generic watermark as your lunch menu draft. Not exactly helpful, right?\nHere\u0026rsquo;s the thing: your documents are unique, so why shouldn\u0026rsquo;t their watermarks be too? What if your watermarks could actually read your documents and create something that makes sense for each one?\nDocument watermarking isn\u0026rsquo;t just about slapping text on files anymore. It\u0026rsquo;s about smart document security, professional branding, and legal protection that actually fits what you\u0026rsquo;re protecting. Whether you\u0026rsquo;re securing confidential business reports, protecting your intellectual property, or just making sure people know which version they\u0026rsquo;re looking at, the right watermark can save you from a lot of headaches.\nThat\u0026rsquo;s where AI assistance comes in. Instead of you having to think up watermark text for every single document type, AI can read your documents, understand what they\u0026rsquo;re about, and create watermarks that actually make sense. Think of it as having a really smart assistant who never gets tired of reading documents and always knows exactly what kind of watermark each one needs.\nIn this guide, we\u0026rsquo;ll show you how to protect your documents with smart watermarks using GroupDocs.Watermark for .NET combined with AI help. You\u0026rsquo;ll learn how to create watermarks that are actually useful, customize them for different situations, and even remove watermarks when you need to – all without breaking a sweat.\nWhat is GroupDocs.Watermark? GroupDocs.Watermark for .NET is a comprehensive C# library designed for enterprise-level document protection and watermark automation. This powerful API allows developers to add watermarks, search, remove watermarks, and edit watermarking across various document formats without requiring external software dependencies.\nSupported Document Formats The library supports an extensive range of formats for complete content protection with watermarking:\nMicrosoft Office: Word (DOC, DOCX), Excel (XLS, XLSX), PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX) PDF Documents: Full support for PDF watermarks Image Formats: JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF for image watermarks Email Formats: MSG, EML for communication security Specialized Formats: Visio, OneNote, and many others Key Capabilities Add watermarks with precise positioning and transparency control Create watermarks using custom fonts and styling options Remove watermarks and delete watermarks from existing documents Invisible watermarking for documents requiring subtle protection Enterprise watermark solutions with batch processing Search and identify existing watermarks across document collections What is AI Assistance and Why Use It with Watermarking? AI assistance in watermarking is like having a smart assistant that actually reads and understands your documents before adding watermarks. Instead of slapping the same generic \u0026ldquo;CONFIDENTIAL\u0026rdquo; stamp on everything, AI looks at what your document is about, who wrote it, when it was created, and what kind of document it is – then creates a watermark that actually makes sense.\nThe Old Way Was Frustrating Traditional watermarking tools make you pick between bad options:\nBoring, generic watermarks that say nothing useful about your document Spending hours manually creating watermarks for each document type Static text that doesn\u0026rsquo;t tell you if something is super important or just regular paperwork Systems that work fine for 10 documents but become a nightmare when you have hundreds How AI Makes It Better When you combine GroupDocs.Watermark with AI help, here\u0026rsquo;s what happens:\n✅ Smart text generation – AI reads your document and writes watermarks that actually fit\n✅ Adapts on the fly – Different document types get different watermark styles automatically\n✅ Better security – Watermarks include the right info for the right documents\n✅ Handles lots of documents – Works just as well for 1 document or 1,000\n✅ Stays consistent – Your company\u0026rsquo;s watermarking rules get followed every time\n✅ Saves you time – No more manually creating watermarks for every document\nWhat This Looks Like in Real Life Legal Documents: AI reads case files and creates watermarks with the right case numbers, confidentiality warnings, and legal notices – no more copy-pasting wrong case numbers! Financial Reports: Automatically adds the right compliance warnings, quarter info, and \u0026ldquo;who can see this\u0026rdquo; restrictions based on what\u0026rsquo;s actually in the report HR Documents: Looks at employee info and adds the right department tags, privacy notices, and how long to keep the document Marketing Materials: Checks campaign details and adds approval status, usage rights, and brand guidelines that match your current campaign Technical Docs: Reads your documentation and adds version numbers, security levels, and project codes that actually match what you\u0026rsquo;re working on 🔄 AI-Enhanced Watermarking Workflow Here\u0026rsquo;s What Happens Step by Step AI Reads Your Document: The AI actually looks at your document content, checks who made it, when it was created, and figures out what type of document it is AI Thinks About It: Based on what it found, the AI decides what kind of watermark makes sense – is this confidential? Public? Something in between? AI Writes the Watermark: Creates watermark text that fits your document\u0026rsquo;s actual purpose and follows your security rules AI Applies It Properly: Puts the watermark in the right spot with the right fonts and styling that works for your document type AI Double-Checks: Makes sure the watermark looks good and is readable before finishing up You Get Protected Documents: Your document is saved with a watermark that actually makes sense How AI Makes Smart Decisions The AI doesn\u0026rsquo;t just randomly generate text – it\u0026rsquo;s actually thinking about:\nWhat kind of document is this? – Automatically sorts documents into categories like confidential, public, internal use, etc. Who needs to see this? – Figures out the right audience and adjusts the watermark message What rules apply? – Follows industry requirements like HIPAA for medical docs or financial compliance rules Does this match our brand? – Keeps your company\u0026rsquo;s watermarking style consistent while adapting to each document Where should this go? – Picks the best spot for the watermark so it\u0026rsquo;s visible but doesn\u0026rsquo;t mess up your content Step-by-Step Process Document Analysis: Extract metadata including title, author, creation date, and document type AI Prompt Generation: Create contextual prompts based on extracted information Intelligent Content Creation: AI generates relevant, professional watermark text Watermark Application: Apply the generated content with custom fonts and styling Secure Output: Save the protected document with context-aware watermarking Here\u0026rsquo;s how the combined process works:\nSample Code: AI-Generated Watermark in C# Below is a comprehensive code example showing how to create watermarks intelligently by combining document analysis, AI generation, and professional application:\nusing System; using System.Drawing; using System.Threading.Tasks; using GroupDocs.Watermark; using GroupDocs.Watermark.Options; class Program { static async Task Main() { string inputFilePath = \u0026#34;email.pdf\u0026#34;; string outputFilePath = \u0026#34;result.pdf\u0026#34;; // Step 1: Extract document info IDocumentInfo documentInfo = GetDocumentInfo(inputFilePath); string title = \u0026#34;Kai Carter 777 LUCKY AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 16171\u0026#34;; string documentType = \u0026#34;email\u0026#34;; DateTime creationDate = DateTime.Now; // Step 2: Create prompt for AI string prompt = $\u0026#34;Generate a clean, professional text watermark for a document titled \u0026#39;{title}\u0026#39; \u0026#34; + $\u0026#34;of type \u0026#39;{documentType}\u0026#39;, created on {creationDate:dd-MMM-yy h:mm tt}. \u0026#34; + $\u0026#34;The document has {documentInfo.PageCount} page\u0026#34; + $\u0026#34;{(documentInfo.PageCount \u0026gt; 1 ?

Passwords and permissions are essential security measures to prevent unauthorized access and ensure document integrity. Passwords can be set at different levels, including document-level and permission-level, to control who can open or edit a document.\nPermissions determine what actions users can perform on a document, such as printing, editing, copying, or annotating. By setting permissions, you can control how users interact with your PDFs and prevent unauthorized actions. In this article, we\u0026rsquo;ll explore how to implement password protection and permissions using GroupDocs.Signature, and discuss best practices for securing your PDF documents.\n🔒 Password Protection To secure a document, protecting PDF documents is essential in today\u0026rsquo;s digital landscape, where sensitive information is often shared. While digital signatures ensure authenticity, they don\u0026rsquo;t prevent unauthorized actions like editing or copying. Here\u0026rsquo;s why securing PDFs matters:\nSecure Sensitive Data\nPDFs often contain critical information like contracts, financial reports, or proprietary content. Adding protection prevents unauthorized changes, keeping your data safe.\nPreserve Document Integrity\nUnauthorized edits can compromise a document\u0026rsquo;s trustworthiness. Applying restrictions ensures the original content remains intact and reliable.\nControl Access and Compliance\nRestricting actions like printing or copying helps prevent misuse, protects intellectual property, and ensures compliance with data protection standards like GDPR or HIPAA.\nBy combining digital signatures with password and permission settings, you can confidently secure a document. To achieve this using GroupDocs.Signature, follow these simple steps to protect your signed PDF:\nInitialize the Signature Class Create a new instance of the Signature class, passing the source document path or stream as a parameter. Setup options Define the required signature options, such as QR codes, text, or images, depending on the signature type. Configure Save Options Instantiate a SaveOptions object and set the Password property with your desired password. Optionally, disable if necessary. Sign and Save Call the Sign method, providing the signature options and save options to secure the output document. Note that you can also change permissions or remove password as needed, but for now, let\u0026rsquo;s focus on securing the document with a password. The following example demonstrates how to save a signed document with a password:\n// Example: Adding QR code signature and password-protecting the document using (Signature signature = new Signature(\u0026#34;sample.pdf\u0026#34;)) { // Create QRCode option with predefined QRCode text QrCodeSignOptions signOptions = new QrCodeSignOptions(\u0026#34;JohnSmith\u0026#34;) { // Setup QRCode encoding type EncodeType = QrCodeTypes.QR, // Set signature position Left = 100, Top = 100 }; // Configure save options with password protection SaveOptions saveOptions = new SaveOptions() { // Set document password Password = \u0026#34;1234567890\u0026#34;, // Don\u0026#39;t use original password if document was previously protected UseOriginalPassword = false }; // Sign document and save to output file signature.Sign(\u0026#34;result.pdf\u0026#34;, signOptions, saveOptions); } Note that If the file is already password-protected, you must load the file using specific load options(see \u0026ldquo;Best Practices\u0026rdquo; section) and set the corresponding password in these options to access and process the file successfully.\nAs a result, anyone attempting to open the file will encounter the following message:\n🛡️ Access Control with Permissions 🔐 How to secure PDF documents with permissions\nThe Signature class enables you to save signed documents with permission settings and password protection. You can control both access and modification using the PermissionsPassword and Permissions properties of the PdfSaveOptions class when calling the Sign method.\nHere\u0026rsquo;s how to secure a PDF document:\nCreate a new instance of the Signature class, passing your document path or stream as a parameter. Instantiate required signature options. Create a PdfSaveOptions object and set the PermissionsPassword property (optional). Use Permissions to set user restrictions like denying printing or modification. Call the Sign method on your Signature instance, providing both textSignOptions and PdfSaveOptions. The following example demonstrates how to save signed documents with permissions.\n// Example: Adding text signature with permission restrictions using (Signature signature = new Signature(\u0026#34;sample.pdf\u0026#34;)) { // Create text signature options TextSignOptions textSignOptions = new TextSignOptions(\u0026#34;JohnSmith\u0026#34;) { // Configure signature appearance Left = 0, Top = 100, Width = 100, Height = 100, AllPages = true, ForeColor = Color.Black }; // Create PDF save options with permission restrictions PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions(); saveOptions.OverwriteExistingFiles = false; // Set permissions to deny printing and modification saveOptions.Permissions = Permissions.DenyPrinting | Permissions.DenyModification; // Set password required to change permissions (optional) saveOptions.PermissionsPassword = \u0026#34;0987654321\u0026#34;; // Sign the document and save with permission restrictions signature.Sign(\u0026#34;result.pdf\u0026#34;, textSignOptions, saveOptions); } Best Practices 📝 How to load PDF documents with permissions\nWith GroupDocs.Signature, you can load PDF documents while preserving specific permissions that remain enforced even after signing. This is achieved using the LoadOptions class, where the Permissions property is configured to define restrictions. These settings ensure that the permissions applied when loading the document are retained in the signed output.\nTo load a PDF document with permissions and maintain them throughout the signing process, follow these steps:\nCreate a new instance of LoadOptions and configure the Permissions property to specify restrictions, such as denying printing, editing, or data extraction. Use this LoadOptions instance to initialize the Signature class with the document path or stream. Configure the required signature options, such as TextSignOptions, to define the signature\u0026rsquo;s appearance and position. Call the Sign method of the Signature class, passing in the signature options. The document will retain the permissions set during loading, ensuring consistent restrictions in the signed file. The following example demonstrates how to load a PDF document with permissions:\n// Example: Loading a document with restricted permissions // Set up load options with specific permissions, denying all actions LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions() { // Configure to deny all operations (printing, modification, extraction) Permissions = Permissions.DenyAll }; // Initialize Signature with document path and configured load options using (Signature signature = new Signature(\u0026#34;sample.pdf\u0026#34;, loadOptions)) { // Create text signature options TextSignOptions textSignOptions = new TextSignOptions(\u0026#34;JohnSmith\u0026#34;) { // Configure signature appearance Left = 0, Top = 100, Width = 100, Height = 100 }; // Sign document - permissions from loadOptions will be preserved signature.Sign(\u0026#34;result.pdf\u0026#34;, textSignOptions); } By following these steps, you can ensure that your document\u0026rsquo;s permissions are preserved from loading to the final signed output.\n** Use Strong Passwords for Permissions**\nEnsure that the passwords set for PDF permissions and access are complex and secure. Avoid common patterns or easily guessable passwords to enhance protection against unauthorized access.\n** Leverage Permissions Combinations**\nUse a combination of permission settings to meet specific security requirements. For instance:\nDeny printing for sensitive financial documents. Deny editing for legal agreements. Allow limited actions for collaboration while securing critical elements. ** Test Document Accessibility**\nAfter applying permissions, test the document to confirm that the desired restrictions are in place. Use different PDF readers to ensure cross-platform compatibility and consistent permissions enforcement.\n** Sign on All Pages for Visibility**\nFor multi-page documents, consider applying signatures to all pages to ensure visibility and security throughout the document. This is particularly useful for contracts or agreements.\n** Watermark Signed Documents**\nAdd watermarks alongside signatures to provide additional context, such as ownership, confidentiality level, or validity duration. Watermarks help reinforce the document\u0026rsquo;s intended purpose.\n📑 Conclusion In today\u0026rsquo;s digital age, securing signed PDFs is crucial to maintaining their authenticity and protecting sensitive information. By combining digital signatures with permissions and password protection, you can prevent unauthorized actions like editing or copying, ensuring document integrity and compliance with regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA.\nTo secure a document, it\u0026rsquo;s essential to setup permissions that control access and modification. Additionally, you may need to change permissions as needed to adapt to different scenarios. Furthermore, knowing how to remove password protection can be useful in certain situations.

Digital signatures are like electronic fingerprints that help prove who signed a document and show if anyone changed it after signing. Unlike paper signatures, digital signatures use special encryption that makes them much more secure.\nThis guide shows you how to verify different types of signatures in documents using Python and the GroupDocs.Signature library. Whether you need to check digital signatures, barcodes, or QR codes in PDF, Word, or Excel files, we\u0026rsquo;ve got you covered with simple, ready-to-use code examples.\nWhat Are Digital Signatures? Digital signatures work like a high-tech version of handwritten signatures but with extra security features. Here\u0026rsquo;s what makes them special:\nThey prove identity - They show who really signed the document They protect content - They show if anyone changed the document after signing They can\u0026rsquo;t be denied - The signer can\u0026rsquo;t claim they didn\u0026rsquo;t sign it When someone signs a document digitally, they use a private key that only they have. Anyone can check the signature with a public key to make sure it\u0026rsquo;s real. This checking process is what we\u0026rsquo;ll learn in this guide.\nThink of digital signatures like a special lock that only one person can close, but anyone can verify if it\u0026rsquo;s properly locked.\nHow to Verify Digital Signatures Digital signature verification is a critical process for ensuring document authenticity and integrity in today\u0026rsquo;s digital landscape. When you verify digital signatures in documents, you\u0026rsquo;re essentially checking two main things: whether the signature is authentic and whether the document has been modified since it was signed.\nUnderstanding the Digital Signature Verification Process The signature verification process involves several key steps that work together to validate electronic signatures:\nCertificate Chain Validation: Every digital signature contains a certificate that identifies the signer. During verification, the system checks if this certificate is valid, not expired, and issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). This step ensures that the person claiming to have signed the document actually has the authority to do so.\nCryptographic Hash Verification: Digital signatures use cryptographic hash functions to create a unique fingerprint of the document at the time of signing. When verifying signatures, the system recalculates this hash and compares it to the original. If they match, the document hasn\u0026rsquo;t been tampered with.\nTimestamp Validation: Many electronic signatures include timestamps that prove when the document was signed. This timestamp verification helps establish the signing order and ensures the signature was created when the certificate was still valid.\nWhy Digital Signature Verification Matters Document signature verification serves multiple crucial purposes in modern business workflows:\nLegal Compliance: Many industries require verified electronic signatures to meet regulatory standards. Proper signature verification ensures your documents hold up in legal proceedings and comply with laws like eIDAS in Europe or ESIGN Act in the United States.\nSecurity Assurance: Verifying digital signatures protects against document forgery and unauthorized modifications. This is especially important for contracts, financial documents, and sensitive business agreements.\nWorkflow Integrity: In automated document processing systems, signature verification ensures that only properly signed documents move through your business processes, preventing errors and maintaining quality control.\nTypes of Signatures You Can Verify Modern document signing solutions support various signature types, each serving different use cases:\nPKI-Based Digital Signatures: These use Public Key Infrastructure and are the most secure option. They\u0026rsquo;re ideal for high-value transactions, legal documents, and scenarios requiring non-repudiation.\nBiometric Signatures: These capture unique biological characteristics like handwriting patterns or fingerprints. They\u0026rsquo;re excellent for scenarios where you need to prove the physical presence of the signer.\nSimple Electronic Signatures: These include basic email confirmations, checkbox acceptance, or typed names. While less secure, they\u0026rsquo;re suitable for low-risk agreements and internal workflows.\n✅ Verify Barcode Signature Barcodes can store signature information in documents. Here\u0026rsquo;s how to check if a barcode signature is valid:\nGet the right tools: Import the GroupDocs.Signature modules Set up your document: Tell the program which file to check Check the barcode: Use special options to verify the barcode Get the results: See if the signature is valid Here\u0026rsquo;s the code that does all this:\nimport groupdocs.signature as gs import groupdocs.signature.options as gso import groupdocs.signature.domain as gsd import os def run(): # The path to your signed document file_path = \u0026#34;sample.pdf\u0026#34; # Open the document to check with gs.Signature(file_path) as signature: options = gso.BarcodeVerifyOptions() options.all_pages = True # Check all pages options.text = \u0026#34;12345\u0026#34; options.match_type = gsd.TextMatchType.CONTAINS # Verify the signature result = signature.verify(options) if result.is_valid: print(f\u0026#34;\\nDocument {file_path} signature is valid!\u0026#34;) else: print(f\u0026#34;\\nDocument {file_path} signature check failed.\u0026#34;) if __name__ == \u0026#34;__main__\u0026#34;: run() ✅ Verify Digital Signature Digital signatures are the most secure type because they use special certificates.

We\u0026rsquo;ll break down the process into clear steps—from configuring your C# environment to implementing a custom hash signer that meets digital signature compliance requirements.\nOverview of Secure PDF Signing with Custom Hash Implementation The custom hash signing approach offers exceptional flexibility for implementing electronic document signatures in your .NET applications. Here\u0026rsquo;s what we\u0026rsquo;ll cover:\nSet up your .NET application to work with GroupDocs.Signature for PDF digital signatures Configure professional digital signing options with proper certificate management Implement a custom hash signing mechanism for maximum flexibility Integrate Azure Key Vault to securely retrieve the public certificate and sign the document Follow security best practices throughout the implementation For additional background, refer to the GroupDocs.Signature documentation on digital signing with custom hash.\n🚀Benefits of Custom Hash Signing for .NET PDF Applications Before diving into implementation, it\u0026rsquo;s important to understand why custom hash signing represents a significant advancement in digital signature technology:\nIntegration with External Signing Devices: Custom hash signing enables seamless connection with hardware security modules (HSMs), smart cards, biometric devices, and other specialized cryptographic hardware that your organization may already use. Flexible Architecture for Enterprise Solutions: Organizations can write their own sign services that interface with existing infrastructure, legacy systems, or proprietary signing solutions while maintaining compatibility with GroupDocs.Signature. Enhanced Security Compliance: By separating the hash generation from the actual signing process, you maintain better control over cryptographic operations, helping meet stringent regulatory requirements like eIDAS, ESIGN Act, and industry-specific compliance standards. Support for Cloud-Based Key Management: Integration with Azure Key Vault allows certificates to be securely stored and managed in Microsoft\u0026rsquo;s certified secure infrastructure rather than on local machines. Signature Process Customization: Implement custom approval workflows, multi-party signing sequences, or specialized validation rules that go beyond standard digital signature implementations. Step 1. Configuring the C# PDF Digital Signature Environment Start by defining your file paths and initializing the GroupDocs.Signature object in your C# application. In this example, we specify the source PDF file and the output location for the signed document.\npublic static void SignDocument() { // Define paths for the source and output documents string sampleFilePath = \u0026#34;sample.pdf\u0026#34;; string sampleOutputFilePath = \u0026#34;signed.pdf\u0026#34;; using (Signature signature = new Signature(sampleFilePath)) { // Code continues in the next steps... } } 📌Annotation:\nThis step creates a new Signature instance that loads the PDF document you want to sign, establishing the foundation for secure PDF signing in your .NET application.\nStep 2. Configuring Digital Signature Options Next, set up your digital signature options. These options include certificate details, visual appearance, and the hash algorithm. The custom hash signing will be plugged in later.\n// Initialize digital signing options DigitalSignOptions options = new DigitalSignOptions() { Signature = new DigitalSignature(), Password = \u0026#34;1234567890\u0026#34;, // Certificate password Reason = \u0026#34;Sign\u0026#34;, // Signing reason Contact = \u0026#34;JohnSmith\u0026#34;, // Contact information Location = \u0026#34;Office1\u0026#34;, // Signing location AllPages = true, // Apply signature on all pages Width = 80, Height = 60, VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Bottom, HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right, Margin = new Padding() { Bottom = 10, Right = 10 }, HashAlgorithm = HashAlgorithm.Sha256 // Specify SHA-256 for hashing }; 📌Annotation:\nConfigure basic digital signature properties such as appearance, positioning, and hashing to ensure your electronic document signatures meet professional standards.\nSecurity note: In production, avoid hardcoding sensitive values (like passwords); instead, use secure configuration methods consistent with digital signature compliance requirements.\nStep 3. Implementing Custom Hash Signing Now, assign your custom hash signer to the options. This custom signer implements the ICustomSignHash interface and will be used to sign the hash with Azure Key Vault or any other external signing device you wish to integrate.\nvar azureSigner = new AzureSigner(); options.CustomSignHash = azureSigner; options.Signature.Certificate = azureSigner.GetPublicCertificateFromAzureStorage(); 📌Annotation:\nHere, an instance of AzureSigner is created. Its CustomSignHash method will be invoked during the signing process, and it also retrieves the public certificate from Azure Key Vault.\nStep 4. Signing the Document Finally, call the Sign method to generate the signed PDF document using your custom hash signing implementation.\nsignature.Sign(sampleOutputFilePath, options); 📌Annotation:\nThis method applies your digital signature to the document using the previously configured options, including your custom hash signer. The resulting PDF will contain a cryptographically secure signature that can be validated using standard PDF readers or programmatically with GroupDocs.Signature\u0026rsquo;s validation features.\nStep 5. Detailed Implementation of Azure Certificate Signing Below is the complete implementation of the custom signer using Azure Key Vault for Azure certificate signing. This class demonstrates professional Azure certificate signing practices by retrieving Azure credentials, fetching the public certificate, and securely signing the document hash.\npublic class AzureSigner : ICustomSignHash { public byte[] CustomSignHash(byte[] hash, HashAlgorithm hashAlgorithm, SignatureContext signatureContext) { // Delegate the signing operation to Azure return SignWithAzure(hash); } private static byte[] SignWithAzure(byte[] signableHash) { // Retrieve Azure credentials var credential = GetAzureSecretCredential(); // Specify your Key Vault certificate key identifier var certificateKeyId = \u0026#34;https://groupdocskeyvault.vault.azure.net/keys/GroupDocsSignatureCertificate/\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; CryptographyClient client = new CryptographyClient(new Uri(certificateKeyId), credential); // Sign the hash using RS256 var result = client.Sign(SignatureAlgorithm.RS256, signableHash); return result.Signature; } static ClientSecretCredential GetAzureSecretCredential() { // Provide your Azure AD tenant, client, and secret details string tenantId = \u0026#34;your tenant id\u0026#34;; string clientId = \u0026#34;your client id\u0026#34;; string secret = \u0026#34;your secret\u0026#34;; ClientSecretCredential credential = new ClientSecretCredential(tenantId, clientId, secret); return credential; } public X509Certificate2 GetPublicCertificateFromAzureStorage() { // Define the Key Vault URI string vaultUri = \u0026#34;https://groupdocskeyvault.vault.azure.net/\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; var credential = GetAzureSecretCredential(); X509Certificate2 pubCertificate = GetPublicCertificateFromAzureStorage(credential, vaultUri); return pubCertificate; } static X509Certificate2 GetPublicCertificateFromAzureStorage( ClientSecretCredential credential, string uri) { // Create a certificate client for the Key Vault CertificateClient certificateClient = new CertificateClient(new Uri(uri), credential); // Retrieve the certificate with the public key KeyVaultCertificateWithPolicy certificate = certificateClient.GetCertificateAsync(\u0026#34;GroupDocsSignatureCertificate\u0026#34;).Result; return new X509Certificate2(certificate.Cer); } } 📌Annotations:\nAzure Credentials:\nThe GetAzureSecretCredential method creates a credential using your tenant ID, client ID, and secret. Security note: Ensure you store these credentials securely (for example, using Azure Key Vault or a secure configuration store) to maintain the integrity of your .NET PDF signing implementation. Signing with Azure:\nThe SignWithAzure method uses the CryptographyClient from Azure SDK to sign the hash with the certificate stored in Azure Key Vault, demonstrating a professional approach to certificate management that follows digital signature compliance best practices. Public Certificate Retrieval:\nThe method GetPublicCertificateFromAzureStorage connects to your Azure Key Vault and retrieves the certificate necessary for signature verification, ensuring your electronic document signatures can be validated appropriately. Step 6. Azure Key Vault Implementation Steps for PDF Digital Signatures To integrate Azure Key Vault with your custom sign services, follow these steps:\nSetup Azure Key Vault: Create an Azure Key Vault instance. Upload your signing certificate to the Key Vault. Configure access policies for your application. Configure Azure Credentials: Register your application in Azure Active Directory. Retrieve your tenant ID, client ID, and client secret. Create a ClientSecretCredential for accessing Key Vault. Retrieve the Certificate: Use the CertificateClient to fetch the certificate containing the public key from Azure Key Vault. This certificate is used to verify the digital signature. Implement Custom Signing: Use the Azure SDK’s CryptographyClient to sign the hash of the document. Specify the appropriate signature algorithm (e.g., RS256). 📌Annotation:\nEach of these steps is critical to ensure that your signing process is secure and that sensitive keys remain protected in the cloud while offering the flexibility to implement your own sign services for specialized requirements.\n🧩 Extending Your Custom Signing Implementation The beauty of GroupDocs.Signature\u0026rsquo;s custom hash signing approach is that you can adapt it to work with virtually any external signing device or service. Here are some examples of how you might extend this implementation:\nHardware Security Modules (HSMs): Implement a custom signer that communicates with physical HSMs for maximum security. Smart Card Integration: Create a signer that interfaces with smart card readers for corporate environments that require physical authentication. Biometric Authentication: Build a signing service that requires fingerprint or facial recognition before authorizing signature creation. Multi-Party Approval: Implement a custom signing workflow where multiple parties must approve before the final signature is applied. Cloud Service Providers: Adapt the example to work with AWS KMS, Google Cloud KMS, or other cloud key management services. By implementing your own sign services through the ICustomSignHash interface, you maintain complete control over your cryptographic operations while leveraging the powerful document handling capabilities of GroupDocs.Signature for .NET.\n✨ Final Thoughts on Electronic Document Signatures This guide demonstrated how to integrate GroupDocs.Signature with Azure Key Vault for creating compliant electronic document signatures for PDF files in a secure manner. Electronic document signatures created through this method meet industry standards for authenticity and integrity. By following this step-by-step approach and observing security best practices (such as secure credential handling), you can implement a robust digital signing solution in your .NET application that works across your entire document workflow.\nFor further details and advanced scenarios, consult the official documentation.\nGet a Free Trial You can try GroupDocs.Signature APIs for free by just downloading and installing the latest version on our release downloads website.\nYou can also get a temporary license to test all the library\u0026rsquo;s functionalities without any constraints.

Here\u0026rsquo;s an example illustrating these steps:\n// Import necessary namespaces using System; using System.IO; namespace GroupDocs.Merger.Examples.CSharp.BasicUsage { /// \u0026lt;summary\u0026gt; /// This example demonstrates how to merge multiple CSV files into a single file. /// \u0026lt;/summary\u0026gt; internal static class MergeCsv { public static void Run() { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;=======================================================================\u0026#34;); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Example Basic Usage: MergeCsv\u0026#34;); Console.WriteLine(); // Define the output folder and file name string outputFolder = Constants.GetOutputDirectoryPath(); string outputFile = Path.Combine(outputFolder, \u0026#34;merged.csv\u0026#34;); // Load the source CSV file using the Merger class using (var merger = new GroupDocs.Merger.Merger(Constants.SAMPLE_CSV)) { // Add another CSV file to merge merger.Join(Constants.SAMPLE_CSV_2); // Merge CSV files and save the result to \u0026#39;merged.csv\u0026#39; merger.Save(outputFile); } Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;CSV files merge completed successfully.\u0026#34;); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Check output in {outputFolder}\u0026#34;); } } } In this code snippet:\nThe Merger class is instantiated with the path of the first CSV file. The Join method is called to include another CSV file. The final merged file is saved with the Save method. How to Split CSV Files Splitting a large CSV file into smaller, manageable pieces is equally essential for data governance and analysis. This is especially useful when you need to isolate data points or manage file sizes for processing. With the GroupDocs.Merger for .NET library, splitting CSV files is as easy as merging. Below are the steps for splitting a CSV file into separate documents:\nDefine the output format: Specify the naming convention for the output files (for example, line_1.csv, line_2.csv, etc.). Use the Split method: Apply this method from the Merger class, alongside the appropriate options that dictate how the splitting should occur. Manage output: After splitting, you will have each line or specified segment as its own separate file. Here\u0026rsquo;s how you can achieve this with C#:\n// Import necessary namespaces using System; using System.IO; using GroupDocs.Merger.Domain.Options; namespace GroupDocs.Merger.Examples.CSharp.BasicUsage { /// \u0026lt;summary\u0026gt; /// This example demonstrates how to split a CSV file into separate documents. /// \u0026lt;/summary\u0026gt; public class SplitCsv { public static void Run() { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;=======================================================================\u0026#34;); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Example Basic Usage: SplitCsv\u0026#34;); Console.WriteLine(); // Define the path to the CSV file string filePath = Constants.SAMPLE_CSV; // Define the output path with a naming pattern string filePathOut = Path.Combine(Constants.GetOutputDirectoryPath(), \u0026#34;line_{0}.csv\u0026#34;); // Create split options to define how to split TextSplitOptions splitOptions = new TextSplitOptions(filePathOut, new int[] { 1, 2, 3 }); using (Merger merger = new Merger(filePath)) { // Split the CSV file according to the specified options merger.Split(splitOptions); } Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Source document was split successfully.\u0026#34;); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Check output at {filePathOut}.\u0026#34;); } } } In this example:\nThe script segments the data based on specified line numbers and saves each segment as a new CSV file. The TextSplitOptions class allows for flexible configuration of how the split occurs.

It allows for a flexible layout and rich media support, making it a preferred choice for authors and publishers. However, managing multiple EPUB files can be challenging, especially when dealing with large collections or creating compilations.\nWith GroupDocs.Merger for .NET, it\u0026rsquo;s possible to programmatically merge and split EPUB files using C#. This not only simplifies the process but also enhances your ability to organize and share digital content more efficiently.\nHow to Merge EPUB Files in C# Merging EPUB files can be essential for creating comprehensive eBooks or combining related documents. With GroupDocs.Merger for .NET, this can be done effortlessly in a few steps using C#. Here is how you can do it:\nCreate an instance of the Merger class: Use the constructor to load your main EPUB file. Join additional EPUB files: Utilize the Join method to add other files to be merged. Save the merged result: Call the Save method to save the new merged EPUB file. Here is an example demonstrating the process of merging EPUB files:\nusing System; using GroupDocs.Merger; namespace GroupDocs.Merger.Examples.CSharp { internal static class MergeEpub { public static void Run() { // Specify output folder string outputFolder = Constants.GetOutputDirectoryPath(); string outputFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(outputFolder, \u0026#34;merged.epub\u0026#34;); // Load the main EPUB file using (var merger = new Merger(@\u0026#34;C:\\path\\to\\your\\first.epub\u0026#34;)) { // Add other EPUB files to merge merger.Join(@\u0026#34;C:\\path\\to\\your\\second.epub\u0026#34;); merger.Join(@\u0026#34;C:\\path\\to\\your\\third.epub\u0026#34;); // Add more if needed // Merge and save result merger.Save(outputFile); } Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;EPUB files merged successfully. Check output in: {0}\u0026#34;, outputFolder); } } } In this code snippet:\nWe define a Merger instance for the primary EPUB file. We add more EPUBs using the Join method and save the final output. How to Split EPUB Files in C# Splitting EPUB files can be useful when you need to extract individual chapters or sections from a larger publication. This can be done similarly using the GroupDocs.Merger library. Here is a quick guide on how to split an EPUB file into separate sections.\nLoad the EPUB file: Use the Merger class to access your EPUB file. Specify split options: Define how you want to split the document, such as by page numbers. Execute the split: Call the Split method to create separate EPUB files. Here is an example demonstrating how you can achieve this:\nusing System; using GroupDocs.Merger.Domain.Options; namespace GroupDocs.Merger.Examples.CSharp { public class SplitEpub { public static void Run() { // Specify the EPUB file to split string sourceFilePath = @\u0026#34;C:\\path\\to\\your\\document.epub\u0026#34;; string outputFolder = Constants.GetOutputDirectoryPath(); string outputFilePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(outputFolder, \u0026#34;chapter_{0}.epub\u0026#34;); // Define split options (for example, split by chapter numbers) SplitOptions splitOptions = new SplitOptions(outputFilePath, new int[] { 1, 2, 3 }); // specify chapters or page numbers // Load the EPUB and split it using (Merger merger = new Merger(sourceFilePath)) { merger.Split(splitOptions); } Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;EPUB file split successfully. Check output in: {0}\u0026#34;, outputFolder); } } } In this snippet:\nWe set up SplitOptions indicating the output naming pattern and the chapters to extract. The Merger object conducts the split process. Why Use GroupDocs.Merger for EPUB Management?

This article explains how to find and replace content in PDF documents using AI and C#. You\u0026rsquo;ll learn how to apply custom redactions and integrate AI to modify PDF content.\nThe following topics are covered in this article:\nRegular way to replace text Steps to redact PDF using AI tools via C# Common C# code to use GroupDocs.Redaction functionality Custom redaction C# code Example of AI prompt GroupDocs.Redaction feature for Replacing Text GroupDocs.Redaction allows you to replace text in various supported file formats. This method relies on regular expressions to identify the text that needs to be replaced. However, working with regular expressions can require additional effort, especially in more complex scenarios. For more information, see our documentation.\nSteps to redact PDF using AI tools via C# You can use this feature to hide sensitive information or to generate a customized document from a template. The following steps show how to use AI to replace specific text in a PDF document within a .NET application.\nLoad the PDF file using the Redactor class. Provide a custom redaction handler by implementing your AI logic through the ICustomRedactionHandler interface. Process the document text, using PageAreaRedaction along with ReplacementOptions. Apply the redaction using the Apply() method. Save the processed document to a new location using the Save() method. Common C# code to use GroupDocs.Redaction functionality The following code uses AI to find and replace credit card numbers in a document. This code snippet includes the main method that initializes the Redactor and applies redactions by calling the Apply() method.\npublic async Task Redaction_Custom_AI() { // Usually, this regex is used to find text for replacement // To provide all possible text for custom redaction, use a regex like in the example Regex regex = new Regex(\u0026#34;.*\u0026#34;); //Define target pages and replacement text for redactions ReplacementOptions optionsText = new ReplacementOptions(\u0026#34;[replaced]\u0026#34;); optionsText.Filters = new RedactionFilter[] { new PageRangeFilter(PageSeekOrigin.Begin, 0, 2) }; //Provide a custom redaction handler implementation optionsText.CustomRedaction = new TextRedactor() { Test = this }; var textRedaction = new PageAreaRedaction(regex, optionsText); var redactions = new Redaction[] { textRedaction }; //Process the document using (var redactor = new Redactor(\u0026#34;source.pdf\u0026#34;)) { //Apply redactions to the document RedactorChangeLog result = redactor.Apply(redactions); if (result.Status != RedactionStatus.Failed) { redactor.Save(new GroupDocs.Redaction.Options.SaveOptions(false, \u0026#34;Result\u0026#34;)); } } } Custom redaction C# code The ICustomRedactionHandler implementation allows users to define their own logic for redacting text paragraphs in PDF files.

Common Use Cases Below are some common use cases for GroupDocs.Metadata in Python applications, along with corresponding code snippets.\nUse Case 1: Retrieve metadata from an image In this example, we will fetch metadata properties of an image file (e.g., image.jpg) based on specific criteria.\nInitialize the Metadata Object: Create a new instance of the Metadata class with your file. Define Search Criteria: Use a search specification to find particular properties. Fetch and Display Metadata: Retrieve the matching properties and log their names and values. import os import groupdocs.metadata as gm from datetime import datetime def run(): with gm.Metadata(\u0026#34;image.jpg\u0026#34;) as metadata: # Check if the file format is known and the document is not encrypted if metadata.file_format != gm.common.FileFormat.UNKNOWN and metadata.get_document_info().is_encrypted != True: # Define a search specification to find all properties specification = gm.search.AnySpecification() # Find properties based on the search specification properties = metadata.find_properties(specification) # Iterate through the found properties and print their names and values for property in properties: # Handle complex data types by using the interpreted_value property if not (property.interpreted_value is None): print(f\u0026#34;Property name: {property.name}, Property value: {property.interpreted_value}\u0026#34;) else: print(f\u0026#34;Property name: {property.name}, Property value: {property.value}\u0026#34;) Use Case 2: Clean up metadata from a document Here we will clean up unwanted metadata from a PDF document.\nLoad the PDF: Create a Metadata object for the PDF file. Sanitize Metadata: Remove detected metadata packages. Save the Cleaned Document: Save the sanitized document to a new file. import groupdocs.metadata as gm def run(): with gm.Metadata(\u0026#34;input.pdf\u0026#34;) as metadata: # Remove detected metadata packages and log the properties removed affected = metadata.sanitize() print(f\u0026#34;Properties removed: {affected}\u0026#34;) # Save the cleaned PDF metadata.save(\u0026#34;output.pdf\u0026#34;) Use Case 3: Update document metadata This example demonstrates how to update the copyright metadata of your documents — such as when a new year begins. The process involves three main steps:\nLoad the Document: Initialize a Metadata object for the document file. Set New Properties: Update the copyright metadata of the document. Save the Updated Document: Save the changes to the file. import os import groupdocs.metadata as gm import pathlib from datetime import datetime def run(): files = os.listdir(input_dir_path) for file in files: with gm.Metadata(input_dir_path + file) as metadata: if metadata.file_format != gm.common.FileFormat.UNKNOWN and metadata.get_document_info().is_encrypted != True: print() print(file) # Define a search specification to find the copyright property specification = gm.search.ContainsTagSpecification(gm.tagging.Tags.legal.copyright) # Set the copyright property to a new value affected = metadata.set_properties(specification, gm.common.PropertyValue(\u0026#34;Copyright (C) 2011-2025 Your Company. All Rights Reserved.\u0026#34;)) print(f\u0026#34;Affected properties: {affected}\u0026#34;) # Save the updated file metadata.save(output_dir_path + \u0026#34;output\u0026#34; + pathlib.Path(file).suffix) Getting Started with a Free Trial By default, the library operates in trial mode without a license, allowing you to explore its basic features and functionalities.

In this article, we will explore how to merge DOCX files using Python with the GroupDocs.Merger library. This powerful library allows developers to easily manipulate Word documents programmatically while ensuring high performance and accuracy.\nThis guide will cover:\nHow to merge multiple DOCX files How to merge documents without section breaks How to merge with predefined compliance modes Handling document streams in Python How to merge multiple DOCX files Merging multiple DOCX files is straightforward with the GroupDocs.Merger library. Below, we outline the key steps involved in this process:\nImport the GroupDocs.Merger package: Begin by importing the required library. Create a Merger instance: Instantiate the Merger class using the first DOCX file path. Join additional documents: Use the join method to add other DOCX files that you wish to merge. Save the merged document: Finally, call the save method to write the merged document to a specified output path. Here’s a Python code snippet demonstrating these steps:\nimport groupdocs.merger as gm import constants def run(): print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;[Example Basic Usage] # MultipleDocumentOperations # Merge : Docx\u0026#34;) # Step 1: Create a Merger object with the first document with gm.Merger(constants.sample_docx) as merger: print(f\u0026#34;Document info retrieved successfully\u0026#34;) # Step 2: Join another DOCX file to merge merger.join(constants.sample_docx) # Step 3: Save the merged document merger.save(constants.output_docx) print(f\u0026#34;Merge to: {constants.output_docx}\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) Merge DOCX documents without section breaks Sometimes, merging documents requires that the contents be joined without inserting section breaks. This can help maintain the flow of information across the merged documents.\nCreate a Merger instance: Just like before, initialize the Merger class. Set join options: Define WordJoinOptions and set the mode to DISABLE_SECTION_BREAKS. Join documents: Add the additional document to merge. Save the result: Write the final output to a new DOCX file. Here’s how you can do it:\nimport groupdocs.merger as gm import constants def run(): print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;[Example Basic Usage] # MultipleDocumentOperations # Merge # Word : MergeWordDocumentsWithoutSectionBreaks\u0026#34;) # Step 1: Create a Merger object with the source document with gm.Merger(constants.sample_doc) as merger: print(f\u0026#34;Document info retrieved successfully\u0026#34;) # Step 2: Define Word join options to disable section breaks word_join_options = gm.domain.options.WordJoinOptions() word_join_options.mode = gm.domain.options.WordJoinMode.DISABLE_SECTION_BREAKS # Step 3: Join the document without section breaks merger.join(constants.sample_doc, word_join_options) # Step 4: Save the merged document merger.save(constants.output_doc_without_section_breaks) print(f\u0026#34;Merge to: {constants.output_doc_without_section_breaks}\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) Merge DOCX documents with predefined compliance modes For specific use cases, documents may need to comply with certain standards. GroupDocs.Merger allows you to merge documents with predefined compliance modes to ensure, for example, that the output meets ISO standards.\nCreate a Merger instance: Initialize the Merger class with your base document. Set compliance mode: Create a WordJoinOptions object and set the compliance property. Join documents: Add the additional document using the join method. Save the final document: Save it to your desired output location. Here is the code for this operation:\nimport groupdocs.merger as gm import constants def run(): print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;[Example Basic Usage] # MultipleDocumentOperations # Merge # Word : MergeWordDocumentsWithPredefinedComplianceMode\u0026#34;) # Step 1: Create a Merger object with the document with gm.Merger(constants.sample_docx) as merger: print(f\u0026#34;Document info retrieved successfully\u0026#34;) # Step 2: Define Word join options with predefined compliance mode word_join_options = gm.domain.options.WordJoinOptions() word_join_options.compliance = gm.domain.options.WordJoinCompliance.ISO_29500_2008_STRICT # Step 3: Join another document with compliance mode merger.join(constants.sample_docx, word_join_options) # Step 4: Save the merged document merger.save(constants.output_docx_with_predefined_compliance_mode) print(f\u0026#34;Merge to: {constants.output_docx_with_predefined_compliance_mode}\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) How to merge DOCX from streams You can also merge DOCX files from in-memory streams, which can be useful when you are dealing with dynamically generated documents.\nGet a file stream: Open your document in binary mode to get the stream. Create the Merger instance: Instantiate the Merger class using the stream. Perform the merging operation: Merge as required and save the output. Here’s how you would implement this:\nfrom turtle import update import groupdocs.merger as gm import constants def run(): print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;[Example Advanced Usage] # Loading # LoadDocumentFromStream\u0026#34;) # Step 1: Get the document stream stream = get_file_stream() # Step 2: Create a Merger instance using the stream with gm.Merger(stream) as merger: print(f\u0026#34;Document loaded from stream successfully\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) def get_file_stream(): file_path = constants.sample_docx return open(file_path, \u0026#34;rb\u0026#34;) See also For more details, you can explore the following resources:\nGroupDocs.Merger for Python Documentation API Reference for GroupDocs.Merger GroupDocs.Merger GitHub Examples You can also download a free trial from releases.groupdocs.com and acquire a temporary license to try the library without restrictions at Purchase Temporary License.\nCode Examples Here are some additional examples to help you understand the merging process with the GroupDocs.Merger library for Python:\nMerge Word Documents Without Starting From a New Page This example demonstrates how to merge documents so that the last page of the first document is directly followed by the first page of the next document, without any new page inserted in between.\nimport groupdocs.merger as gm import constants def run(): print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;[Example Basic Usage] # MultipleDocumentOperations # Merge # Word : MergeWordDocumentsWithoutStartingFromNewPage\u0026#34;) # Step 1: Create a Merger object with the document with gm.Merger(constants.sample_doc) as merger: print(f\u0026#34;Document info retrieved successfully\u0026#34;) # Step 2: Define Word join options for continuous mode word_join_options = gm.domain.options.WordJoinOptions() word_join_options.mode = gm.domain.options.WordJoinMode.CONTINUOUS # Step 3: Join documents without inserting new page merger.join(constants.sample_doc, word_join_options) # Step 4: Save the merged document merger.save(constants.output_doc_without_starting_from_new_page) print(f\u0026#34;Merge to: {constants.output_doc_without_starting_from_new_page}\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) Merge Multiple Documents with Custom Join Options Here’s how to merge DOCX documents while setting specific join options, such as compliance with a specific ISO standard.\nimport groupdocs.merger as gm import constants def run(): print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;[Example Advanced Usage] # Merge with Custom Join Options\u0026#34;) # Step 1: Create a Merger object with the base document with gm.Merger(constants.sample_docx) as merger: print(f\u0026#34;Document info retrieved successfully\u0026#34;) # Step 2: Set custom join options for predefined compliance mode word_join_options = gm.domain.options.WordJoinOptions() word_join_options.compliance = gm.domain.options.WordJoinCompliance.ISO_29500_2008_STRICT # Step 3: Join another document with compliance settings merger.join(constants.sample_docx, word_join_options) # Step 4: Save the merged document merger.save(constants.output_docx_with_predefined_compliance_mode) print(f\u0026#34;Merge to: {constants.output_docx_with_predefined_compliance_mode}\u0026#34;) print(f\u0026#34;----------------------------------------------------------------------------\u0026#34;) See also To explore more about GroupDocs.Merger and its functionalities, you can check out the following resources:\nGroupDocs.Merger for Python Documentation API Reference for GroupDocs.Merger GitHub Code Examples for GroupDocs.Merger Releases Page for GroupDocs.Merger Free Trial and Temporary License You can download a free trial of GroupDocs.Merger from our releases page.

Reverse image search is a technology that allows users to search for information using an image as the search query instead of text. Unlike traditional keyword-based searches, reverse image search processes visual content to find matches, retrieve metadata, or provide context about the image.\nThis method has become indispensable for tasks like identifying the origin of an image, verifying its authenticity, discovering similar content, and detecting unauthorized usage of copyrighted material. Reverse image search is widely used in various fields, including e-commerce, journalism, digital forensics, and more.\nHow Does Reverse Image Search Work? At the core of reverse image search lies a key technology called perceptual hashing. This approach generates a unique \u0026ldquo;fingerprint\u0026rdquo; for each image, which is then compared with the fingerprints of other images to identify similarities. Here\u0026rsquo;s how perceptual hashing works in reverse image search:\nImage Preprocessing: Before generating a hash, the image is preprocessed to remove unnecessary details and standardize its format. This typically involves resizing the image to a smaller fixed size and converting it to grayscale. This ensures that the hashing process is consistent across all images.\nFeature Extraction: Instead of analyzing every individual pixel, perceptual hashing focuses on high-level features of the image, such as its overall structure, patterns, and color distribution. These features are summarized into a smaller representation that captures the essence of the image while ignoring minor variations like compression artifacts or slight cropping.\nGenerating the Hash: A hash is a fixed-length string or binary sequence that represents the image\u0026rsquo;s characteristics. Perceptual hashes are specially designed to ensure that visually similar images produce nearly identical hashes, even if the images have been slightly modified (e.g., resized, rotated, or compressed).\nComparing Hashes: Once the hash for the query image is generated, it is compared to the hashes stored in a database. This comparison uses techniques like the Hamming distance, which measures the number of differing bits between two hashes. A smaller difference indicates a higher similarity between the images.\nBy focusing on perceptual characteristics, this method allows reverse image search engines to match not only identical images but also those that have undergone minor edits. Perceptual hashing is a lightweight, efficient approach that makes reverse image search practical even for large-scale datasets.\nImplementing Reverse Image Search with GroupDocs.Search API The GroupDocs.Search API offers a versatile and efficient solution for implementing reverse image search capabilities in your applications. Using its image indexing and searching features, you can build a system to locate images stored within documents or standalone files. Here\u0026rsquo;s a step-by-step guide for setting up reverse image search using the GroupDocs.Search API.\nStep 1: Set Up the Environment To get started, include the GroupDocs.Search library in your project. You can do this by installing the library via NuGet for .NET projects. Just run the following command in the Package Manager Console:\nInstall-Package GroupDocs.Search Step 2: Indexing Images To enable reverse image search, you need to index the images from your document folders. GroupDocs.Search allows you to index standalone images (e.g., .png, .jpg) as well as images embedded in document files or container formats like .zip. Below is an example of how to create an index and add documents for image indexing:\nstring indexFolder = @\u0026#34;C:\\MyIndex\u0026#34;; string documentFolder = @\u0026#34;C:\\MyDocuments\u0026#34;; // Creating an index Index index = new Index(indexFolder); // Setting the image indexing options IndexingOptions indexingOptions = new IndexingOptions(); indexingOptions.ImageIndexingOptions.EnabledForContainerItemImages = true; indexingOptions.ImageIndexingOptions.EnabledForEmbeddedImages = true; indexingOptions.ImageIndexingOptions.EnabledForSeparateImages = true; // Indexing documents in a document folder index.Add(documentFolder, indexingOptions); Here, the ImageIndexingOptions options are enabled to ensure that all images (whether standalone, embedded, or from containers) are indexed. This makes the reverse image search comprehensive.\nStep 3: Searching for Related Images Once the images are indexed, you can search for similar images by providing a reference image as a query. Customize the search with ImageSearchOptions to control aspects like the acceptable level of similarity (HashDifferences), the maximum number of results to return, and specific file types to search in. Here\u0026rsquo;s how the search process looks:\n// Setting the image search options ImageSearchOptions imageSearchOptions = new ImageSearchOptions(); imageSearchOptions.HashDifferences = 10; imageSearchOptions.MaxResultCount = 100; imageSearchOptions.SearchDocumentFilter = SearchDocumentFilter.CreateFileExtension(\u0026#34;.zip\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;.png\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;.jpg\u0026#34;); // Creating a reference image for search SearchImage searchImage = SearchImage.Create(@\u0026#34;C:\\MyDocuments\\image0.png\u0026#34;); // Searching in the index ImageSearchResult result = index.Search(searchImage, imageSearchOptions); The search process generates a hash for the reference image and compares it with the indexed images. The HashDifferences parameter specifies the threshold for similarity – the smaller the value, the stricter the match.\nStep 4: Processing Search Results The ImageSearchResult object contains all the images that meet the search criteria. You can iterate through the results to retrieve information about matched images, including their locations or metadata.\nConsole.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Images found: \u0026#34; + result.ImageCount); for (int i = 0; i \u0026lt; result.ImageCount; i++) { FoundImageFrame image = result.GetFoundImage(i); Console.WriteLine(image.DocumentInfo.ToString()); } Sample Output For example, if the reverse image search is executed with a query image, the following results might be obtained:\nImages found: 2 C:\\MyDocuments\\image0.png C:\\MyDocuments\\image193.png This means two matching or similar images were found in the indexed documents: the original query image (image0.png) and another result (image193.png).\nStep 5: Fine-Tuning the System To optimize your reverse image search, you can adjust options such as:\nHash Differences: Lower values increase precision but may miss slightly altered versions of the image. Search Filters: Restrict searches to specific file types or document formats. Index Structure: Periodically update the index to include new images or remove outdated files. Conclusion Reverse image search is a powerful technology with wide-ranging applications in modern industries, from e-commerce to digital forensics. By leveraging tools like the GroupDocs.Search API, developers can easily implement robust image search systems that efficiently locate and compare visual data. With features like image indexing, adjustable similarity thresholds, and support for embedded or standalone images, this API simplifies the process of creating flexible and accurate reverse image search solutions. Whether tracking down duplicate images, verifying authenticity, or discovering related content, implementing this functionality is a valuable step toward enhancing user experiences and operational efficiency.\nCheck out these useful links for further details and resources:\nDocumentation Examples – GitHub API Reference Blog Downloads Support Forum See Also Text Search Fuzzy Search Synonym Search ","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/search/reverse-image-search/","summary":"What Is Reverse Image Search?

It enables merging pages in any sequence, giving complete control over the structure of the final document. Whether merging a few key pages or creating a comprehensive document, this tool ensures flexibility and efficiency. By reducing manual effort, it simplifies the process of crafting tailored documents, saving valuable time and boosting overall productivity in both personal and professional workflows.\nThe following topics are discussed here:\nUnderstanding Page Builder Sample case and code implementation Specifying the range of the required pages Conclusion If you are interested in Merging documents online, visit the Online Merging Tool that is powered by GroupDocs.\nUnderstanding Page Builder The Page Builder feature introduces a streamlined way to create custom documents by combining pages from multiple source documents. This feature allows developers to build a new document step-by-step, adding pages in any sequence from two or more documents. Here’s how the process works:\nBegin by loading the source Word document using the Merger class and pass to the constructor one of the source documents. Join the documents one by one to merge using the Join method. Initialize the Page Builder. Over the method CreatePageBuilder from the Merger instance This serves as the starting point for constructing your new document. The AddPage method of the Page Builder instance allows to add into the destination document any particular page of joined documents previously for each source document, choose the specific pages you want to include over the index; add these pages to the new document in the desired sequence. You can mix and match pages from different documents to meet your needs; repeat this process for additional source documents, ensuring that you have the flexibility to combine pages in a way that best suits your requirements; Using ApplyPageBuilder method to apply changes from the Page Builder instance Save the merged document to any destination. Once all the necessary pages have been added, save the new document. The final output will be a fully customized file containing pages from multiple sources, organized exactly how you want them. This step-by-step approach makes it easy to create documents tailored to specific use cases, such as compiling reports, creating personalized presentations, or assembling legal documents. With Page Builder, developers have complete control over the page order and content, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual edits and ensuring precision in the final output.\nSample case and code implementation Let’s demonstrate how to use the Page Builder feature in GroupDocs.Merger with a practical example. To simplify the case assume we have two documents:\nDocument A with 4 pages. Document B with 4 pages. We aim to create a new document by merging pages from these two documents in different sequences based on specific scenarios.\nHere we marked each document page with document letter A, B and page number. From documents A and B we need to receive the tailored document C with the following structure\nThe following source code snippet shows how to merge particular pages from the several documents in the resultant document.\nstring documentA = @\u0026#34;documentA.pdf\u0026#34;; string documentB = @\u0026#34;documentB.pdf\u0026#34;; string documentC = @\u0026#34;documentC.pdf\u0026#34;; using (Merger merger = new Merger(documentA)) { merger.Join(documentB); PageBuilder pageBuilder = merger.CreatePageBuilder(); // get documents A and B references var docA = pageBuilder.Documents[0]; var docB = pageBuilder.Documents[1]; pageBuilder.AddPage(docA.Pages[0]); // document A, page 1 or Page A-1 pageBuilder.AddPage(docB.Pages[0]); // document B, page 1 or Page B-1 pageBuilder.AddPage(docB.Pages[1]); // document B, page 2 or Page B-2 pageBuilder.AddPage(docB.Pages[2]); // document B, page 3 or Page B-3 pageBuilder.AddPage(docA.Pages[1]); // document A, page 2 or Page A-2 pageBuilder.AddPage(docA.Pages[3]); // document A, page 4 or Page A-4 // Apply the page order merger.ApplyPageBuilder(pageBuilder); merger.Save(documentC); } Specifying the range of the required pages When working with document manipulation, adding multiple pages efficiently is crucial for handling complex workflows. Instead of adding pages individually, you can use the AddPageRange method, which accepts an array of IPageInfo objects, each representing a specific page. This approach simplifies the process, reduces repetitive code, and improves performance by allowing batch operations. Below is a code example demonstrating how to utilize this method to add multiple pages from different documents in a single, streamlined operation.\nHere are the steps to combine several pages from various documents specifying them as a range:\nCreate a Merger object and provide the path or stream of the source file. Use the Join to add another source document. Repeat this step for each document you want to merge. Create a PageBuilder object by calling the CreatePageBuilder method. Call the AddPageRange method and pass an array of IPageInfo objects describing the appropriate pages. Please note that IPageInfo objects use zero-based notation for source documents and page numbers. Use the ApplyPageBuilder method to apply the specified order of pages to the merged document. Save the resulting document by calling the Save method and providing a file path. string documentA = @\u0026#34;documentA.pdf\u0026#34;; string documentB = @\u0026#34;documentB.pdf\u0026#34;; string documentC = @\u0026#34;documentC.pdf\u0026#34;; using (Merger merger = new Merger(documentA)) { merger.Join(documentB); PageBuilder pageBuilder = merger.CreatePageBuilder(); // get documents A and B references var docA = pageBuilder.Documents[0]; var docB = pageBuilder.Documents[1]; // Specify a range of pages IPageInfo[] range = new IPageInfo[] { docA.Pages[0], // Page A-1 from the document A docB.Pages[0], // Page B-1 from the document B docB.Pages[1], // Page B-2 from the document B docB.Pages[2], // Page B-3 from the document B docA.Pages[1], // Page A-2 from the document A docA.Pages[3], // Page A-4 from the document A }; // Append a page of pages pageBuilder.AddPageRange(range); // Apply the page order merger.ApplyPageBuilder(pageBuilder); merger.Save(documentC); } Conclusion These examples illustrate the versatility of the Page Builder feature. Developers can easily combine pages from multiple documents in various sequences to create tailored outputs. This feature significantly reduces manual work and ensures precision in document generation, making it an essential tool for diverse use cases.\nGet a Free API License You can get a free temporary license to use the API without the evaluation limitations.\nBuild Your Own Merge Page Builder Application Here are some important links that will help you in building your own document comparison application.\nDocumentation | API Reference | Supported File Formats\nRunning Examples – GitHub | Free Support Forum | Release Notes\nSee Also For more information and additional resources, you may find the following links useful:\nGroupDocs.Merger for .NET Examples GroupDocs.Merger for Java Examples GroupDocs.Merger for Node.js via Java Examples GroupDocs.Merger for Python via .NET Examples Download and try GroupDocs.Merger APIs for free Try GroupDocs.Merger with full-access temporary license Documentation of our APIs Free Support Forum ","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/merger/page-builder-how-to-merge-pages/","summary":"The Page Builder feature in GroupDocs.Merger for .NET lets developers merge specific pages from multiple documents into a single, customized file.

This article explores the concept, benefits, and technical implementation of iterative signing, providing a comprehensive guide to enhancing your document approval processes.\nContent Introduction Document integrity Understanding Digital Signatures Role of Digital Signatures in PDF Documents Iterative Digital Signing Concept and Benefits Implementing Iterative Signing with the C# Get a Free Trial See also Introduction In today\u0026rsquo;s digital world, ensuring document integrity is crucial for business agreements, legal contracts, and confidential communications. Digital signatures provide a robust method to verify the authenticity and integrity of documents. Iterative signing, allowing multiple parties to sign a document sequentially without invalidating previous signatures, enhances security and streamlines approval workflows. This article explores iterative digital signing, its benefits, technical foundations, and implementation in PDF documents, demonstrating how this technology improves document integrity and efficiency in various organizational settings. The Case studies section will show how to implement these features with the GroupDocs.Signature library across the various platforms.\nDocument integrity Document integrity refers to the assurance that a document remains unchanged from its original state and that any alterations can be detected. This is a fundamental aspect of trust in digital communications and transactions. Ensuring document integrity is vital for several reasons:\nLegal Compliance and Authenticity: In many industries, maintaining the integrity of documents is a legal requirement. For instance, contracts, court documents, and regulatory filings must be verifiable and unaltered to be legally binding. Digital signatures play a crucial role in meeting these requirements by providing a verifiable method to ensure that a document has not been tampered with.\nSecurity and Confidentiality: Document integrity is essential for maintaining the confidentiality and security of sensitive information. Unauthorized changes to critical documents can lead to data breaches, fraud, and other security incidents. By ensuring that documents remain unchanged, organizations can protect sensitive information and maintain trust with clients, partners, and stakeholders.\nOperational Efficiency: In business processes involving multiple approvals, maintaining document integrity is key to ensuring that all parties review and approve the same version of a document. This prevents confusion, errors, and delays, thereby improving operational efficiency. Iterative signing supports this by allowing documents to be signed by multiple parties sequentially without invalidating previous signatures.\nAuditability and Accountability: Ensuring document integrity provides a clear audit trail, showing who signed the document and when. This is particularly important for accountability and transparency in both internal and external audits. Digital signatures create a tamper-evident seal that helps organizations track document changes and verify the authenticity of signatures.\nTrust and Credibility: Maintaining document integrity builds trust and credibility with customers, partners, and regulatory bodies. It demonstrates a commitment to protecting the authenticity of documents and upholding high security and compliance standards. This trust is essential for establishing and maintaining strong business relationships.\nIn summary, document integrity is a cornerstone of secure and reliable digital transactions. Digital signatures, particularly through iterative signing, provide a powerful tool for ensuring that documents remain authentic, unaltered, and verifiable. By leveraging this technology, organizations can enhance their document workflows, comply with legal requirements, and build greater trust and credibility with their stakeholders.\nUnderstanding Digital Signatures What is a Digital Signature? A digital signature is a cryptographic mechanism used to verify the authenticity and integrity of a digital message or document. Unlike electronic signatures, which can be as simple as a scanned image of a handwritten signature, digital signatures provide stronger security by leveraging public key infrastructure (PKI). This ensures that the signature is both unique to the signer and the document, providing a high level of confidence that the document has not been altered since the signature was applied.\nHow Digital Signatures Work The process of creating a digital signature involves several steps:\nHashing: The document is passed through a hashing algorithm (such as SHA-256) to generate a unique hash value that represents the document\u0026rsquo;s content. Encryption: This hash value is then encrypted using the signer\u0026rsquo;s private key, creating the digital signature. The private key is part of a public-private key pair where the private key is securely held by the signer. Embedding the Signature: The encrypted hash, along with the signer\u0026rsquo;s certificate (containing the public key and other identifying information), is embedded into the document. Verification: Upon opening the document, the recipient\u0026rsquo;s software uses the signer\u0026rsquo;s public key to decrypt the hash. The software then re-hashes the document and compares the newly generated hash with the decrypted hash. If they match, the signature is verified as authentic and the document is confirmed as unaltered. Benefits of Using Digital Signatures Digital signatures offer numerous advantages:\nEnhanced Security: The use of PKI ensures that digital signatures are nearly impossible to forge. Document Integrity: Any alteration to the document after signing invalidates the signature, thus maintaining document integrity. Authentication: The digital certificate associated with the signature verifies the signer\u0026rsquo;s identity, ensuring authenticity. Non-repudiation: Signers cannot deny their signature on a document since it is tied to their private key, which only they possess. Compliance: Digital signatures comply with various legal standards and regulations such as eIDAS in the EU and the ESIGN Act in the US, making them legally binding in many jurisdictions. Types of Certificates Digital signatures rely on different types of certificates:\nSelf-Signed Certificates: Issued by the signer themselves, primarily used for internal purposes or testing. Organization Validated (OV) Certificates: These certificates verify that the signer is associated with a specific organization. Extended Validation (EV) Certificates: Provide the highest level of trust by verifying the signer\u0026rsquo;s identity through a rigorous vetting process by a Certificate Authority (CA). Role of Digital Signatures in PDF Documents Digital signatures play a pivotal role in ensuring the authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation of PDF documents. Unlike electronic signatures, which are often just images or typed names, digital signatures utilize cryptographic techniques to provide a higher level of security and trust.\nHow Digital Signatures Work Creation of a Unique Hash: When a user signs a PDF document, a unique hash value (a fixed-length string of characters) is generated using a hashing algorithm. This hash value represents the contents of the document at the time of signing. Encryption with a Private Key: The hash value is then encrypted using the signer’s private key, which is part of a public-private key pair. This encrypted hash, along with information about the hashing algorithm, constitutes the digital signature. Embedding the Signature in the PDF: The digital signature is embedded in the PDF document along with the signer\u0026rsquo;s certificate, which contains the public key and information about the signer. This certificate is typically issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). Verification Process: When the signed PDF is opened, the recipient’s PDF viewer software uses the signer’s public key to decrypt the hash value. The software then generates a new hash value from the document’s content and compares it with the decrypted hash. If the two hash values match, the signature is verified as authentic and the document is confirmed as unaltered since the time of signing. Technical Components of Digital Signatures in PDFs PFX Certificate Files: PFX (Personal Information Exchange) files are used to store the public and private keys along with the certificate chain. These files are password-protected to ensure that only authorized users can access the private key required for creating digital signatures. PKI Infrastructure: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) supports the creation, distribution, and management of digital certificates. PKI components include CAs, Registration Authorities (RAs), and the end-user devices that store and manage keys and certificates. Hashing Algorithms: Commonly used hashing algorithms in digital signatures include SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. These algorithms produce unique hashes that are nearly impossible to replicate without altering the original document content. Signature Standards: PDF documents adhere to specific standards for digital signatures, such as the PAdES (PDF Advanced Electronic Signatures) standard. These standards ensure compatibility and security across different software and devices. Benefits of Digital Signatures in PDFs Document Integrity: Digital signatures ensure that any tampering with the document after signing can be detected. This is crucial for maintaining the trustworthiness of the document. Authentication: The inclusion of the signer\u0026rsquo;s certificate provides a way to verify the identity of the signer. This adds a layer of trust, ensuring that the signer is who they claim to be. Non-repudiation: Because the digital signature is tied to the signer\u0026rsquo;s private key, which only the signer should have access to, it provides proof of the signer\u0026rsquo;s involvement. This prevents the signer from denying that they signed the document. Legality and Compliance: Many legal frameworks and regulations recognize digital signatures as equivalent to handwritten signatures, provided they meet certain criteria. This is important for compliance with laws such as eIDAS in the European Union and the ESIGN Act in the United States. Implementing Digital Signatures in PDFs Using Libraries and APIs: There are various libraries and APIs available for implementing digital signatures in PDF documents, such as Adobe Acrobat SDK, iText, and PDFBox. These tools provide functions to create, embed, and verify digital signatures programmatically. Step-by-Step Signing Process: Load the PDF Document: Load the document into the signing software or library. Prepare the PFX Certificate: Load the PFX certificate and provide the password for access. Generate the Hash: Create a hash of the document content. Create the Signature: Encrypt the hash with the private key to create the digital signature. Embed the Signature: Embed the digital signature and the certificate into the PDF document. Iterative Signing: To enable multiple signatures, each subsequent signature must append to the document without altering existing content. This requires careful handling of the PDF\u0026rsquo;s structure to ensure that each signature validates independently while the overall document remains unchanged. In conclusion, digital signatures are an essential feature for ensuring the security and integrity of PDF documents. They provide robust mechanisms for verifying authenticity, maintaining document integrity, and supporting legal and regulatory compliance. By understanding and implementing digital signatures, organizations can enhance their document workflows and safeguard critical information.\nIterative Digital Signing Iterative digital signing allows multiple users to sequentially sign a PDF document without invalidating previous signatures, preserving document integrity, and ensuring all signatures remain valid. This process is particularly valuable in scenarios requiring multiple approvals, such as corporate agreements, legal documents, or multi-stakeholder contracts.\nTechnical Details Certificate-Based Signatures: Each digital signature uses a certificate-based system. This system involves:\nDigital ID: Comprising a private key and a public key certificate. The private key is used to create the signature, while the public key in the certificate is used for verification. Hashing Algorithm: When signing, a hash of the document\u0026rsquo;s content is created and encrypted using the signer\u0026rsquo;s private key. This hash is unique to the document\u0026rsquo;s current state. Signature Embedding: The encrypted hash, certificate, and additional signature details are embedded within the PDF, ensuring that any modification post-signature invalidates the signature. Steps for Adding Signatures: To implement iterative signing in Adobe Acrobat, follow these steps:\nOpen the PDF: Select the document to be signed. Choose \u0026lsquo;Use a Certificate\u0026rsquo;: From the \u0026lsquo;Tools\u0026rsquo; menu, select \u0026lsquo;Certificates\u0026rsquo; and then \u0026lsquo;Digitally Sign.\u0026rsquo; Draw Signature Field: Draw the area where the signature will appear. Sign with Digital ID: Choose an existing digital ID or configure a new one if necessary. Save the Document: Once signed, save the document. Each signature is stored, maintaining the integrity of previous signatures. Verifying Signatures: Adobe Acrobat automatically validates digital signatures when a document is opened, checking:\nCertificate Validity: Ensuring the signer\u0026rsquo;s certificate is trusted. Document Integrity: Confirming that the document has not been altered since the signature was applied. Timestamp Verification: Checking the timestamp against the certificate\u0026rsquo;s validity period to ensure the signature was made within an acceptable timeframe. Security Considerations:\nCertificate Management: Properly manage and protect the PFX files containing private keys. Revocation Checking: Ensure certificates are checked against revocation lists to validate their current status. Timestamping: Use reliable timestamp servers to add timestamps to signatures, which helps in validating the time of signing even if the certificate expires later. Handling Multiple Signatures: Each signature added to the PDF must be done without altering the document\u0026rsquo;s content. Acrobat ensures this by appending the new signature data to the existing document structure. This way, previous signatures remain intact and verifiable.\nUser Experience:\nSigner Notification: Signers are notified via email to review and sign the document. Signature Application: The user selects their digital ID, reviews the document, and applies their signature. Each signature is visibly distinct and can include additional information like timestamps and signer\u0026rsquo;s identity. By implementing iterative digital signing, organizations can enhance their workflow efficiency, maintain high security standards, and ensure all document approvals are legally binding and verifiable.\nConcept and Benefits Iterative signing is a powerful approach in digital document management that enables multiple stakeholders to sequentially sign a PDF document without invalidating previous signatures. This method ensures that each signature remains valid and verifiable, preserving the document\u0026rsquo;s integrity and authenticity. Iterative signing is particularly beneficial for organizations that require multiple levels of approval, such as in legal, corporate, and regulatory environments. By allowing for successive additions of digital signatures, it streamlines the approval process, enhances security, and maintains a clear audit trail for compliance and accountability purposes.\nUse Cases for Iterative Signing in Enterprises Corporate Approvals:\nBoard Resolutions: Multiple board members can sign off on resolutions or meeting minutes, ensuring that each member\u0026rsquo;s approval is recorded without altering the document. Contract Approvals: In large enterprises, contracts often require sign-offs from multiple departments, such as legal, finance, and executive management. Iterative signing allows each department to review and approve the document sequentially. Legal and Compliance:\nRegulatory Filings: Documents submitted to regulatory bodies often require multiple signatures from different stakeholders. Iterative signing ensures that each required signature is collected while maintaining the document\u0026rsquo;s integrity. Legal Agreements: Lawyers from different firms can sign agreements iteratively, providing a clear record of each party\u0026rsquo;s approval without modifying the core content of the document. Project Management:\nProject Charters: Various project stakeholders can sign off on project charters or plans, ensuring that all necessary approvals are obtained in a structured and verifiable manner. Change Requests: Iterative signing allows for multiple levels of approval for project change requests, ensuring that changes are vetted and approved by all relevant parties. Benefits of Iterative Signing for Document Approval Processes Enhanced Security and Integrity:\nPreservation of Previous Signatures: Each signature is added without altering the document\u0026rsquo;s content, ensuring that previous signatures remain valid and verifiable. Tamper-Evident: Any attempt to alter the document after signing invalidates the signatures, providing a strong deterrent against tampering. Improved Workflow Efficiency:\nSequential Approvals: Documents can be routed sequentially for approvals, reducing the need for manual coordination and speeding up the approval process. Audit Trail: Each signature is timestamped and recorded, creating a clear audit trail that can be reviewed for compliance and accountability purposes.

Tiling watermarks provide a robust defense mechanism by embedding a repetitive patterned watermark across the entire document. This guide offers a comprehensive overview on generating tiling watermarks to ensure your digital documents are protected with an indelible layer of security, maintaining their integrity and authenticity.\nContent Introduction Mastering Tiling Watermarks Tiling Watermark Settings and Options Advanced C# Tiling Watermark Generation Techniques Creating Tiling Watermarks with Java Conclusion Get a Free Trial See also Introduction As we transition further into a paperless world, the need to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and duplication becomes paramount. Document watermarking represents a simple and easy solution to enhance document security effectively. Documents embedded with secure and non-removable watermarks are effectively protected from copyright infringement issues.\nThe more complex solution for watermarking is the concept of tiling watermarks, delineating their utility and superiority over traditional watermarking methods. By embedding a repetitive patterned watermark across the entire document, tiling watermarks offer a robust defense mechanism against the illicit reproduction and tampering of digital files. The following sections will provide a comprehensive guide on generating tiling watermarks, ensuring that your digital documents are secured with a nearly indelible layer of protection that maintains their integrity and authenticity. Whether you\u0026rsquo;re a business professional looking to safeguard corporate documents or a content creator aiming to protect your intellectual property, understanding how to implement tiling watermarks is an essential skill in today’s digital landscape.\nMastering Tiling Watermarks Basic Concept A tiling watermark is a digital marking technique used to protect and authenticate documents by embedding a repeated patterned design that covers the entire surface area of the document. Unlike standard watermarks, which are typically single marks placed in specific areas (such as the corner or center of a page), tiling watermarks consist of continuous interlocking patterns that extend across the document. This not only makes them less obtrusive but also significantly more effective in securing the documents against unauthorized modifications and reproductions.\nTiling Watermark Patterns In the realm of document protection, tiling watermark patterns provide a sophisticated method to safeguard content without compromising its integrity. These patterns vary in arrangement and style, each tailored to different security needs and visual preferences. Different tiling patterns may suit particular cases based on the specific document or image being protected. Below, we explore several popular tiling watermark types, describing their design and ideal use cases. Refer to the image below for visual representations of these patterns:\nOffset: Ideal for general document protection where a staggered and repetitive pattern can help deter unauthorized duplication. One-Third Offset: Useful for documents requiring a more intricate watermark, offering a higher level of security through its unique alignment. Stepladder: Best for vertical documents or images, providing a distinctive look while maintaining robust security. Stacked Horizontal: Suitable for wide documents or images, ensuring consistent coverage across the horizontal axis. Stacked Vertical: Perfect for tall documents, offering a seamless vertical pattern that does not interfere with the readability. Herringbone: Ideal for high-security documents, the complex pattern makes removal attempts highly detectable. Block Herringbone: Provides enhanced protection with a bold and intricate design, suitable for sensitive documents. Basket Weave: Excellent for artistic works, combining aesthetic appeal with strong protective features. The Benefits Difficulty in removal without damaging the host document page content. Robustness: The intricate patterns used in tiling watermarks are embedded in such a way that any attempt to remove them will inevitably alter the underlying content of the document. This alteration can be easily detected, thus deterring tampering. Interdependence: Tiling patterns are often interlinked, meaning that removing one part of the watermark impacts the rest, which helps in maintaining document security even if part of it is cropped or edited. Seamless Integration into Documents Without Affecting Readability Adjustable Opacity and Design: Tiling watermarks can be customized to be visually subtle, ensuring they do not interfere with the text or graphical content of the document. This is crucial for maintaining the aesthetic and functional quality of important documents. Non-Intrusive Protection: The watermark integrates smoothly into the document’s design, providing security without distraction. This is particularly important in professional and academic environments where document clarity and presentation are paramount. Tiling watermarks are thus a sophisticated security tool offering not just protection but also a degree of authenticity and non-repudiation to documents that is hard to achieve with other watermarking methods. Their design and application require careful consideration but result in a highly secure and resilient marking that safeguards information seamlessly. The next sections will provide a step-by-step guide on how to effectively generate and apply these watermarks to your documents.\nTiling Watermark Settings and Options Overview Tiling watermark settings allow users to embed repetitive patterns across a document in a structured and uniform manner. These settings provide control over the alignment, spacing, and measurement unit of the watermarks to ensure consistent visibility without overwhelming the document\u0026rsquo;s content.\nConfigurability The settings offer extensive configuration from the type of tile used to the spacing and size of the watermarks. This flexibility ensures that watermarks can be adapted to various document types and design preferences, enhancing both security and aesthetics.\nKey Features Tile Type: Choose from several predefined patterns that best fit the document\u0026rsquo;s layout. The type could be straight tile alignment or offset tile alignment. Measurement Unit: Specify measurements in pixels or percentages to accommodate different document sizes. Spacing Control: Adjust vertical and horizontal spacing to optimize visibility and coverage. Practical Applications Tiling Options are ideal for a range of applications from protecting business documents and presentations to securing artistic works and confidential information. The ability to fine-tune the watermark\u0026rsquo;s properties ensures that it serves its protective purpose without detracting from the document\u0026rsquo;s primary content.\nSettings Options Tile Type: Description: Specifies the pattern and alignment type of the tile used for the watermark. This could range from simple stacked designs to complex interwoven styles. Options: Standard tiling (aligned grids), staggered (offset patterns), or custom designs. Measurement Type: Description: Determines the unit of measurement used for defining the watermark\u0026rsquo;s dimensions and spacing. Options: Pixels (for fixed dimensions) or Percent (to scale with document size). Value: Description: Sets the specific numerical value of the measurement, which could define the size of the watermark or the spacing between each tile. Line Spacing: Description: Controls the vertical space between each row of the watermark tile. Functionality: Helps in adjusting the density of the watermark and its visibility across the page. Watermark Spacing: Description: Manages the horizontal space between each repetition of the watermark. Functionality: Allows for fine-tuning the frequency of the watermark, which can be crucial for both aesthetics and copyright protection purposes. Implementation Tips Ensure that the MeasureValue settings are appropriate for the document size and intended visibility of the watermark. Consider the document\u0026rsquo;s layout and content when choosing the TileType to avoid obscuring critical information. Regularly review and adjust the LineSpacing and WatermarkSpacing to maintain the effectiveness and discreteness of the watermark as the document format or content changes. Using these settings, users can effectively safeguard their documents against unauthorized use while maintaining the readability and integrity of the underlying content.\nAdvanced C# Tiling Watermark Generation Techniques The provided C# example demonstrates how to apply a tiling image watermark to a PDF document using GroupDocs.Watermark for .NET.

Manual comparison is practically impossible, and without the right tools, automation lacks accuracy.\nData Type Issues JSON supports various data types (strings, numbers, booleans, etc.). Changes in data types across documents intended to be identical can lead to significant functionality problems in applications that rely on these JSON files for configuration or behavior. Sometime due to errors in the source code without strict typing (like Java Script, etc) the serialized numeric data could appear as strings.\nJSON Sample: Original JSON object properties with mixed string and numeric representation\r{ \u0026#34;Report\u0026#34;: { \u0026#34;Year\u0026#34;: 2023, \u0026#34;Revenue\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;500000\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;Profit\u0026#34;: 20000.0, \u0026#34;ActiveUsers\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;1000\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;ProductNames\u0026#34;: [\u0026#34;Product A\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;Product B\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;Product C\u0026#34;], \u0026#34;IsProfitable\u0026#34;: true, \u0026#34;Departments\u0026#34;: [ { \u0026#34;Name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Development\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;EmployeeCount\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;100\u0026#34; }, { \u0026#34;Name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Marketing\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;EmployeeCount\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;80\u0026#34; } ] } } JSON Sample: Destination or changed JSON object properties with mixed string and numeric representation\r{ \u0026#34;Report\u0026#34;: { \u0026#34;Year\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;2023\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;Revenue\u0026#34;: 500000, \u0026#34;Profit\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;20000\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;ActiveUsers\u0026#34;: 1000, \u0026#34;ProductNames\u0026#34;: [\u0026#34;Product A\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;Product B\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;Product C\u0026#34;], \u0026#34;IsProfitable\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;true\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;Departments\u0026#34;: [ { \u0026#34;Name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Development\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;EmployeeCount\u0026#34;: 100 }, { \u0026#34;Name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Marketing\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;EmployeeCount\u0026#34;: 80 } ] } } Real-time Comparison Needs In today\u0026rsquo;s fast-paced environments, developers and data analysts often need to perform real-time data comparisons to quickly resolve issues or merge changes.

The interface simplifies the comparison process, making it accessible even to those with minimal technical expertise.\nComparing two JSON files in C# takes three calls — load the source, add the target, and compare:\nusing GroupDocs.Comparison; using GroupDocs.Comparison.Options; string source = \u0026#34;source.json\u0026#34;; string target = \u0026#34;target.json\u0026#34;; string result = \u0026#34;result.json\u0026#34;; using (var comparer = new Comparer(source)) { comparer.Add(target); var options = new CompareOptions { GenerateSummaryPage = true }; comparer.Compare(result, options); } The full sample with imports and error handling is also available as a GitHub Gist:\nC# — CompareJSONFiles.cs Java — CompareJSONFiles.java Node.js — CompareJSONFiles.js Dual Comparison Modes GroupDocs.Comparison offers two primary modes of comparison for JSON files—textual and visual. This dual approach ensures that users can not only see the differences in data presented textually in a diff-like format but also visualize these differences through a graphical interface that highlights changes with distinct colors and annotations. Consider the following two JSON files that we want to compare:\nJSON file #1\n{ \u0026#34;employees\u0026#34;: [ { \u0026#34;name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;John Doe\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;position\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Software Engineer\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;email\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;john.doe@example.com\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;phone\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;123-456-7890\u0026#34; }, { \u0026#34;name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Jane Smith\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;position\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Project Manager\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;email\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;jane.smith@example.com\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;phone\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;234-567-8901\u0026#34; } ] } JSON file #2\n{ \u0026#34;employees\u0026#34;: [ { \u0026#34;name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;John Doe\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;position\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Senior Software Engineer\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;email\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;john.doe@example.com\u0026#34;, }, { \u0026#34;name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Jane Smith\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;position\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Project Manager\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;email\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;jane.smith@example.com\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;phone\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;234-567-8901\u0026#34; }, { \u0026#34;name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Sam Brown\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;position\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Designer\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;email\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;sam.brown@example.com\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;phone\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;345-678-9012\u0026#34; } ] } Visual Comparison Mode Generates a single HTML report that effectively combines data from two JSON files into one integrated document. Differences within the JSON data are clearly marked using inline highlights: items deleted from the original file are highlighted in red, while new or changed items are marked in blue. This format allows users to view all content in a single, unified document, streamlining the process of identifying and understanding the changes.\nTextual Comparison Mode Produces a combined JSON file that integrates the contents of both compared JSON files. This mode uses text markings to highlight differences directly within the JSON structure: deleted items are enclosed in square brackets, while added items are denoted by round brackets. This method provides a clear textual representation of changes, making it easy for users to track modifications and analyze data with precision.\n{ \u0026#34;employees\u0026#34;: [ { \u0026#34;name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;John Doe\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;position\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;(Senior )Software Engineer\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;email\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;john.doe@example.com\u0026#34;, [ \u0026#34;phone\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;123-456-7890\u0026#34; ]\t}, { \u0026#34;name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Jane Smith\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;position\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Project Manager\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;email\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;jane.smith@example.com\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;phone\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;234-567-8901\u0026#34; (\t}, )(\t{ )( \u0026#34;name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Sam Brown\u0026#34;, )( \u0026#34;position\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Designer\u0026#34;, )( \u0026#34;email\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;sam.brown@example.com\u0026#34;, )( \u0026#34;phone\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;345-678-9012\u0026#34; )\t} ] } Summary page Count of deleted components: 1 Count of inserted components: 7 How the output extension controls which mode you get You choose between the two modes by setting the extension of the result file path you pass to Compare():\nResult path ends in .json → GroupDocs.Comparison writes two files: the textual .json diff at the path you provided, plus a .html file alongside it containing the visual report. A single call gives you both representations. Result path ends in .html → only the visual HTML report is written. No .json diff is produced. using var comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source.json\u0026#34;); comparer.Add(\u0026#34;target.json\u0026#34;); var options = new CompareOptions { GenerateSummaryPage = true }; // Produces BOTH result.json (textual diff) AND result.html (visual report) comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result.json\u0026#34;, options); // Produces ONLY result.html (visual report) comparer.Compare(\u0026#34;result.html\u0026#34;, options); Use the .json form when you want both representations from one call — for example, archiving the textual diff in a review system while sending the HTML report to a reviewer. Use the .html form when you only need the visual diff and don\u0026rsquo;t want an extra file on disk.\nHigh Precision Comparisons The tool is built to handle complex JSON structures with precision. It can accurately identify differences in nested objects, array orders, and even subtle changes in data types. This is critical for applications where data integrity can influence business decisions or software behavior. Here\u0026rsquo;s a JSON snippet representing an employee record before and after modifications. In this example, changes to the phone number are indicated with square brackets for deletions and round brackets for insertions, reflecting the nuanced adjustments within nested elements of the JSON structure.\n{ \u0026#34;employees\u0026#34;: [ { \u0026#34;name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Jane Smith\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;position\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Project Manager\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;email\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;jane.smith@example.com\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;phone\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;[1]23(4)-[4]56(7)-[7]890(1)\u0026#34; } ] }( )() Summary page Count of deleted components: 3 Count of inserted components: 5 Applying or Rejecting Changes When working with JSON comparisons in code, developers often need to programmatically decide which changes to accept and which to reject based on specific criteria.\nThe following example demonstrates how you can apply or reject changes in C# using GroupDocs.Comparison:\nIntegration Capabilities Designed for scalability and integration, GroupDocs.Comparison can be seamlessly integrated into existing enterprise applications and workflows.

It\u0026rsquo;s super handy when there are little typo mistakes, misspellings, or variations in data. This article is all about the Java way to perform fuzzy search to find in files that are scattered around folders.\nHere are few examples to elaborate the fuzzy search sample content:\nYou might not be sure if the document uses the spelling \u0026ldquo;color\u0026rdquo; or \u0026ldquo;colour.\u0026rdquo; When looking for \u0026ldquo;John,\u0026rdquo; it could actually be spelled as \u0026ldquo;Jon\u0026rdquo; or perhaps \u0026ldquo;Jhon.\u0026rdquo; Trying to find \u0026ldquo;USA\u0026rdquo; even if someone types \u0026ldquo;U.S.A.\u0026rdquo; If you make a \u0026ldquo;mistaek,\u0026rdquo; oh wait, it\u0026rsquo;s actually a \u0026ldquo;mistake.\u0026rdquo; The solution to finding such content is Fuzzy Search.\nJava Fuzzy Search Library To make fuzzy searches in Java, we\u0026rsquo;ll use the GroupDocs.Search for Java API. The API is highly capable of showing flexibility and provides a customizable degree of error tolerance. This feature is favorable when dealing with language variations like British and American English, and typos.\nWith this library, fuzzy search can be performed within a large variation of file formats. The support is not just limited to Word documents (DOC, DOCX), spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX), presentations (PPT, PPTX), PDFs, Markup languages (HTML, XML), Markdown (MD), eBooks (EPUB, CHM, FB2), emails (MSG, EML), OneNote notes, and even ZIP archives.\nIf you want to know all the file types this magic can handle, just peek at the documentation.\nTo get started, you can grab the API from the download section, or just add the latest repository and dependency Maven configurations directly into your Java applications.\nLet’s Fuzzy Search in Files using Java Follow these steps to perform a fuzzy search in multiple files of various file formats within folders using Java:\nStart by creating an Index using the folder where your files are. Add the main folder path to the index. Provide the search query that you want to search. Turn on the magic of Fuzzy Search so it understands small mistakes. Set the Similarity Level in the Fuzzy Algorithm. Execute the search using the search method to get the search results. Now, you can traverse the SearchResults to create or print the output as you like. In the Java code below, the program looks for similar content that is kind of what you asked for in all the files and subfolders. It\u0026rsquo;s tolerant of spelling mistakes, up to 25% error. If you peek at the code, you\u0026rsquo;ll see that the similarity level is set to 0.75, which is equivalent to the 75% match. If you want to fine-tune the search, just change the similarity level in the code.\nAfter you run the code, you\u0026rsquo;ll get a list of fetched fuzzy search results. If you want to see how to print the search results, keep reading this article.\nQuery: nulla Documents: 2 Occurrences: 135 Document: Lorem ipsum.docx Occurrences: 132 Field: content Occurrences: 132 nulla 98 nullam 34 Document: EnglishText.txt Occurrences: 3 Field: content Occurrences: 3 dull 1 full 1 fully 1 Printing Search Results The following Java code provides two ways to present your search results.\nHighlight all the approximate matches.

Fuzzy search lets you find approximate matches rather than exact matches in data, allowing for flexibility in search queries. This is particularly useful in scenarios with typos, misspellings, or variations in the data. This article shows how to programmatically perform a fuzzy search in multiple documents across folders using C#.\nC# Fuzzy Search Library For Fuzzy Search, we’ll utilize the GroupDocs.Search for .NET API. This allows for a certain degree of tolerance in spelling, making it effective in accommodating regional language variations like those between British and American English.\nThis library empowers us to programmatically search text in a wide range of file formats, such as Word documents (DOC, DOCX), spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX), presentations (PPT, PPTX), PDF files, Markup (HTML, XML), Markdown (MD), eBooks (EPUB, CHM, FB2), email messages (MSG, EML), OneNote documents, and ZIP archives.\nTo find out all the types of files you can work with, check out the documentation.\nYou can choose to get the DLLs or MSI installer from the download section or add the API to your .NET program using NuGet.\nLet’s Fuzzy Search in Files using C# Follow these steps to perform a fuzzy search in multiple files of various file formats within folders using C#:\nCreate an Index by providing a folder path. Add the parent folder path for the search directory to the created index. Define the search query. Activate the Fuzzy Search by enabling the option. Set the Similarity Level in the Fuzzy Algorithm as required. Execute the search using the Search method to get the search results. Now, you can iterate on SearchResults to create or print the output as you like. The fuzzy search in the below-mentioned C# code finds the approximate matches of the given query in all the files across all sub folders with 20% error tolerance in spellings.\nHere, the similarity level is set to 0.8 i.e. 80% match which corresponds to 20% error tolerance. You can adjust the tolerance level by tweaking the similarity level in the code.\nBelow are the fuzzy search results you can obtain from the above code. It is quite simple, however, the printing code is also available later in this article.\nQuery: nulla Documents: 2 Occurrences: 135 Document: Lorem ipsum.docx Occurrences: 132 Field: content Occurrences: 132 nulla 98 nullam 34 Document: EnglishText.txt Occurrences: 3 Field: content Occurrences: 3 dull 1 full 1 fully 1 Printing Search Results The following C# code provides two ways to present your search results.\nHighlight all the approximate matches.

This code will fetch all the watermarks with ©YYYY.\n// Search Watermarks by Regular Expression Regex regex = new Regex(@\u0026#34;^© \\\\d{4}$\u0026#34;); TextSearchCriteria textSearchCriterion = new TextSearchCriteria(regex); PossibleWatermarkCollection possibleWatermarks = watermarker.Search(textSearchCriterion); Find and Remove Watermarks with Specific Text Formatting You can also find the watermarks having some specific text formatting like Font name, min/max font size, bold/italic/underlined, etc.\nTextFormattingSearchCriteria criterion = new TextFormattingSearchCriteria() { FontName = \u0026#34;Arial\u0026#34;, MinFontSize = 19, MaxFontSize = 42, FontBold = true }; PossibleWatermarkCollection watermarks = watermarker.Search(criterion); watermarks.Clear(); Find and Remove Hyperlink Watermarks You can use the RegEx to find text watermarks having hyperlinks in the content. Later you can check in the collection if there are hyperlink watermarks in the search result. These can be removed by any of the removal methods. The following C# code removes all the watermarks with hyperlinks.\nPossibleWatermarkCollection watermarks = watermarker.Search(new TextSearchCriteria(new Regex(@\u0026#34;anyurl\\\\.com\u0026#34;))); for (int i = watermarks.Count - 1; i \u0026gt;= 0; i--) { // Is watermark the hyperlink? if (watermarks\\[i\\] is HyperlinkPossibleWatermark) { watermarks.RemoveAt(i); } } There are many other ways to refine your search for watermarks.

As a result, you will get the resultant document that will be highlighting the identified changes.\nInitialize the Comparer object with the source document path. Add the second document to compare using the add method. Call the compare method to get the result of the comparison. The compare method takes the name of the output document as a parameter. // Compare two Word files from the provided location on disk Comparer comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source.docx\u0026#34;); try { comparer.add(\u0026#34;target.docx\u0026#34;); comparer.compare(\u0026#34;comparison.docx\u0026#34;); } finally { comparer.dispose(); } Here I am displaying the resultant Word document generated by the above code, and it contains the highlighted differences of the compared two Word documents. The deleted content will be marked in RED, added content will be displayed in Blue, however, Green shows the modified content.\nCompare Word Files for Text using Stream You can similarly pass the document as a stream to the Comparer class to get it compared with the second document. Here is the Java code to give you a clear idea:\n// Compare two Word file using Stream Comparer comparer = new Comparer(new FileInputStream(\u0026#34;source.docx\u0026#34;)); try { comparer.add(new FileInputStream(\u0026#34;target.docx\u0026#34;)); comparer.compare(new FileOutputStream(\u0026#34;result.docx\u0026#34;)); } finally { comparer.dispose(); } Accept or Reject the Compared Changes in Word File using Java After successfully highlighting the identified differences, you have the option to either accept or reject any change. Just to show as an example, I am accepting and rejecting the changes alternatively. You may display each change one by one with the similar code and take your decisions to accept/reject each change according to your requirement.\n// Accept or Reject the identified changes of Word document in Java Comparer comparer = new Comparer(source); try { comparer.add(target); comparer.compare(); ChangeInfo[] changes = comparer.getChanges(); System.out.println(\u0026#34;changes.length: \u0026#34; + changes.length + \u0026#34;.\u0026#34;); // Accept or Reject the changes for (int n = 0; n \u0026lt; changes.length; n++) { if (n % 2 == 0) { changes[n].setComparisonAction(ComparisonAction.ACCEPT); } else { changes[n].setComparisonAction(ComparisonAction.REJECT); } } // Apply your decisions to get the resultant document. comparer.applyChanges(outputFileName, new SaveOptions(), new ApplyChangeOptions(changes)); } finally { comparer.dispose(); } Compare Text Files and Show Differences using Java Using the Comparer class, we can also compare any text file. Below is the similar code for comparing two text files in Java. Steps are exactly the same as comparing any other two documents:\nStart with passing the text file to the Comparer class. Add the second file using the add method. Call the compare method. // Compare two text files to identify and highlight changes. Comparer comparer = new Comparer(\u0026#34;source.txt\u0026#34;); try { comparer.add(\u0026#34;target.txt\u0026#34;); comparer.compare(\u0026#34;comparison.txt\u0026#34;); } finally { comparer.dispose(); } Here is the output document that shows the comparison result of matching two text files using the above code.\nCompare PDF Files for Text Difference using Java We can compare the PDF files using the same above code, and by just changing the file extensions to \u0026ldquo;.pdf\u0026rdquo;. Just to mention, the code below compare two pdf files and shows differences in Java.\n// Compare two PDF file using Stream Comparer comparer = new Comparer(new FileInputStream(\u0026#34;source.pdf\u0026#34;)); comparer.add(new FileInputStream(\u0026#34;target.pdf\u0026#34;)); comparer.compare(new FileOutputStream(\u0026#34;result.pdf\u0026#34;)); Below is the outcome after comparing the PDF files.\nSee Also C# Diff Library for Comparing Text Files Compare Two Files or More in C# Many other open-source examples are publicly available at GitHub Repository.

There is a way to analyze such comments called sentiment analysis. This post focuses on the sentiment analysis tool based on a deep neural network model using C#. This model is suitable for a wide range of tasks.\nSentiment Analysis API for .NET If you want to do sentiment analysis programmatically, GroupDocs.Classification serves that purpose for you. It implements a general-purpose sentiment classifier that can be used to evaluate the tone of product reviews, shop reviews, application reviews, feedbacks, etc.\nThis article will guide you to the classification of comments and analyze the positivity using C# with GroupDocs.Classification for .NET. So before you start, please make sure to install the API from any of the following methods:\nInstall using NuGet Package Manager. Download the DLL and reference it into the project. How to Classify Text using Sentiment Analysis in C# To solve such a task we can use a general class named Classifier, or we can use the Sentiment Classifier which is a bit simpler and more lightweight class. Here are the steps:\nInitialize the SentimentClassifier. Call the PositiveProbability method of SentimentClassifier class and pass the text as a parameter that needs to be analyzed. The PositiveProbability method will return the positivity ranging from 0 to 1. Here is the C# code to find the tone of any statement using the sentiment classification. We have chosen the following sentiment as an example:\n\u0026ldquo;Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes\u0026rdquo;\n// Analyze the positivity of text using sentiment classifier in C#. var sentiment = \u0026#34;Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes\u0026#34;; var sentimentClassifier = new SentimentClassifier(); /// PositiveProbability method returns the positive probability of the sentiment. var positiveProbability = sentimentClassifier.PositiveProbability(sentiment); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Positive Probability of the sentiment { positiveProbability }\u0026#34;); Positive Probability of the sentiment: **0.1118** Any value greater than 0.5 means the sentiment is positive and the range between 0 and 0.5 shows that it is negative.\nNow according to the extracted positivity, you may get the Best Class for that sentiment and probability of that Best Class. We found that its positive probability is 0.11, so it should be classified as a negative comment and its Best Class should be Negative instead of Positive.\nSo what would be its Best Class Probability? Yes, it will be 0.89. Now let see in the code:\nvar sentiment = \u0026#34;Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes\u0026#34;; /// Classify method returns ClassificationResult object with the best class probability and name. var response = sentimentClassifier.Classify(sentiment); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Best Class Name: {response.BestClassName}\u0026#34;); Console.WriteLine($\u0026#34;Best Class Probability: { response.BestClassProbability}\u0026#34;); Best Class Name: **Negative** Best Class Probability: **0.8882** Classify Multiple Comments using Sentiment Analysis in C# Normally we have thousands of comments and feedback, so how could we analyze our customer\u0026rsquo;s feedback? It is simple, just put the feedbacks in an array. Let the string array be the source of review. It also could be a file or the parsed response from a database or service. We can transform the string array to the float array of positive sentiment probabilities.\nvar sentiments = new string\\[\\] { \u0026#34;Now that is out of the way, this thing is a beast.

We can measure mean or median positiveness for the target product, shop, etc. Select the worst values and respond to the customers. We can also do analysis like finding inconsistencies between the positive probability value of a product and its rating.\nWe hope you find this post useful.

The documents can be of any format such as Word (Doc, Docx), PDF, HTML, EPUB, Spreadsheet (XLS, XLSX), Presentation (PPT, PPTX), images, and videos.\nGroupDocs.Search is a powerful full-text search API that allows you to search through over 70 document formats in your applications. To make it possible to search instantly across thousands of documents, they must be added to the index.\nWhy Use GroupDocs.Search as a Developer? No additional software is required to search through documents of supported formats. Great variety of indexing and search options are provided to meet any requirements. A wide selection of search types is available in text or object form queries. High indexing and search performance is achieved by unique algorithms and data structures, optimizations and multi-threaded execution. Various ways of visualizing search results in the text of documents are supported. Please check About Search Engines article to know what place GroupDocs.Search API occupies in the classification of search engines.\nInstallation GroupDocs.Search for .NET is hosted on NuGet and can easily be installed using the NuGet Package Manager. Alternatively, you can download the API’s DLL from the Downloads section.\nSearch Through Office Documents using C# The following steps explain how to search words or phrases in multiple documents (Word, Excel, PDF and other document formats).\nCreate a new index: First of all, you need to create an index. An index can be created in memory or on disk. An index created in memory cannot be saved after exiting your program. In contrast, an index created on disk may be loaded in the future to continue working. Details on creating an index are described in the section Creating an index. Subscribe to index events: After creating an index, you need to add documents to the index for indexing. Indexing documents can be successful or unsuccessful for various reasons, for example, due to read errors from the disk or the presence of a password to access a document. To receive information about indexing errors, you can subscribe to the ErrorOccurred event. To work with events, see the section Search index events. Index Documents: Document indexing can be performed synchronously or asynchronously. Synchronous indexing means that a thread that started the indexing process will be busy until the operation is completed. However, more often, it is necessary to perform indexing asynchronously, with the ability to execute other tasks in the thread that launched the operation. A detailed description of all aspects of the indexing process is provided in section Indexing. Perform search: When documents are indexed, the index is ready to handle search queries. The following types of search queries are supported: simple, fuzzy, case sensitive, boolean, phrasal, faceted, with wildcards, and others. Description of search queries of various types is presented in the section Searching. Use search results: When a search is completed, you need to somehow interpret a result. The result can be represented by a simple list of documents found, or the words and phrases found can be highlighted in the text of the document. For more information on processing search results, see Search results. string indexFolder = @\u0026#34;/Users/muhammadsohailismail/MyIndex/\u0026#34;; // Specify the path to the index folder string documentsFolder = @\u0026#34;/Users/muhammadsohailismail/MyDocuments/\u0026#34;; // Specify the path to a folder containing documents to search // a) Create new index or // b) Open existing index Index index = new Index(indexFolder); // c) Subscribe to index events index.Events.ErrorOccurred += (sender, args) =\u0026gt; { Console.WriteLine(args.Message); // Writing error messages to the console }; // d) Add files synchronously index.Add(documentsFolder); // Synchronous indexing documents from the specified folder // f) Perform search string query = \u0026#34;Worthy\u0026#34;; // Specify a search query SearchResult result = index.Search(query); // Searching in the index // g) Use search results // Printing the result Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Documents found: \u0026#34; + result.DocumentCount); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Total occurrences found: \u0026#34; + result.OccurrenceCount); for (int i = 0; i \u0026lt; result.DocumentCount; i++) { FoundDocument document = result.GetFoundDocument(i); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;\\\\tDocument: \u0026#34; + document.DocumentInfo.FilePath); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;\\\\tOccurrences: \u0026#34; + document.OccurrenceCount); } // Highlight occurrences in text if (result.DocumentCount \u0026gt; 0) { FoundDocument document = result.GetFoundDocument(0); // Getting the first found document string path = @\u0026#34;/Users/muhammadsohailismail/Output/Highlighted.html\u0026#34;; OutputAdapter outputAdapter = new FileOutputAdapter(path); // Creating the output adapter to a file HtmlHighlighter highlighter = new HtmlHighlighter(outputAdapter); // Creating the highlighter object index.Highlight(document, highlighter); // Generating output HTML formatted document with highlighted search results Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Generated HTML file can be opened with Internet browser.\u0026#34;); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;The file can be found by the following path:\u0026#34;); Console.WriteLine(Path.GetFullPath(path)); } The above code generates the following output and HTML file.\nSearch in Fields of Documents using C# Faceted search is filtering of search results by setting valid document field names to search. Faceted search allows you to search only in certain fields of documents, for example, only in the content field or in the file name field. A simple faceted search example is presented below with queries in text and object form.\nstring indexFolder = @\u0026#34;c:\\\\MyIndex\\\\\u0026#34;; string documentsFolder = @\u0026#34;c:\\\\MyDocuments\\\\\u0026#34;; // Creating an index in the specified folder Index index = new Index(indexFolder); // Indexing documents from the specified folder index.Add(documentsFolder); // Search in the content field with text query SearchResult result1 = index.Search(\u0026#34;content: Einstein\u0026#34;); // Search in the content field with object query SearchQuery wordQuery = SearchQuery.CreateWordQuery(\u0026#34;Einstein\u0026#34;); SearchQuery fieldQuery = SearchQuery.CreateFieldQuery(CommonFieldNames.Content, wordQuery); SearchResult result2 = index.Search(fieldQuery); Using format specific fields For each document format, there are standard fields that may be present in documents of this type. The library provides the following classes containing constants with the names of standard document fields: EpubFieldNames, FictionBookFieldNames, MailFieldNames, PresentationFieldNames, SpreadsheetFieldNames, WordsFieldNames.\nThere are also fields that may be present in documents of any type. The names of such fields are represented in the CommonFieldNames class.\nAn example of using standard field names of documents is presented in the following example.\nstring indexFolder = @\u0026#34;c:\\\\MyIndex\\\\\u0026#34;; string documentsFolder = @\u0026#34;c:\\\\MyDocuments\\\\\u0026#34;; // Creating an index in the specified folder Index index = new Index(indexFolder); // Indexing documents from the specified folder index.Add(documentsFolder); // Search in the content field with text query string query1 = WordsFieldNames.Company + \u0026#34;: Dycum\u0026#34;; SearchResult result1 = index.Search(query1); // Search in the content field with object query SearchQuery wordQuery = SearchQuery.CreateWordQuery(\u0026#34;Dycum\u0026#34;); SearchQuery fieldQuery = SearchQuery.CreateFieldQuery(WordsFieldNames.Company, wordQuery); SearchResult result2 = index.Search(fieldQuery); Detailed information about faceted search is presented on the page Faceted search.\nConclusion This article has explained how to search through documents (DOCX, PDF, Excel, Text files) for particular information in C#.

There could be many statements in your mind:\nHow to merge PDF documents together in Java? Want to split word documents, or merge excel spreadsheets. What to do if I need to merge PPT/PPTX presentations. Many more questions, the list may not end. GroupDocs provides a document merging solution for all such requirements. It\u0026rsquo;s Java API allows you to merge documents and manipulate document structure in Java across a wide range of supported document formats. It further allows manipulating document pages, page transformations, information extraction from the documents, generating previews, and much more.\nIn this article, we will look a bit about the following topics :\nHow to merge PDF files in Java. Merge Word documents, Excel Spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations. Merge certain document pages. Split any document into multiple documents. The code sample and steps explained below are using GroupDocs.Merger for Java so you may download or integrate it into your maven-based applications with pom.xml configurations.\nMerge PDF files in Java We can combine two or more PDF files in just a few lines of code. Below is the code snippet from the examples, that is self-explanatory and needs no further clarification, hence shows how to merge multiple PDF documents in Java. Steps are very simple if you have done deciding the documents to join together:\nInstantiate Merger object, with the first document with which other documents are to be merged. Call join method, passing the document to merge. Recall join method to merge more documents. Call save method to save the final output. That\u0026rsquo;s it. // Set paths for the documents to join together in a single file. String filePath1 = \u0026#34;document-1.pdf\u0026#34;; String filePath2 = \u0026#34;document-2.pdf\u0026#34;; String filePath3 = \u0026#34;document-3.pdf\u0026#34;; // Merger multiple PDF documents into a single PDF file. Merger merger = new Merger(filePath1 ); merger.join(filePath2 ); // Joining 2nd Document merger.join(filePath3 ); // Joining 3rd Document // Save the merged document. String filePathOutput = \u0026#34;mergedDocument.pdf\u0026#34;; merger.save(filePathOutput); Merge Excel, Word, PowerPoint Documents in Java You can combine multiple Word documents, Excel Spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, in fact, almost any documents of the same format. The above code of joining PDF documents can be used to merge a wide variety of documents. At the bottom of the article, I will mention the list of file formats that can be merged with the same code. Here for an example, I am showing how similarly, more than two Word documents can be combined together into a single Word file in just a few lines of Java code.\n// Merger multiple Word documents into a single DOCX file. Merger merger = new Merger(\u0026#34;document1.docx\u0026#34; ); merger.join(\u0026#34;document2.docx\u0026#34; ); // Joining 2nd Document merger.join(\u0026#34;document3.docx\u0026#34; ); // Joining 3rd Document // Save the merged document. merger.save(\u0026#34;mergedDocument.pdf\u0026#34;); Merge Document Pages in Java Multiple documents can be merged by selective pages and also by specifying the desired page range. Your code will remain similar to the mentioned above, just a little change while setting your merging options using JoinOptions class.\nBelow is the source code snippet that shows how to merge documents by specifying certain pages.\n// Set the start and end page number in JoinOptions class. JoinOptions joinOptions = new JoinOptions(1, 2); // Merge two files with selective pages using join method. Merger merger = new Merger(\u0026#34;document-1.docx\u0026#34;); merger.join(\u0026#34;document-2.docx\u0026#34; , joinOptions); merger.save(\u0026#34;merged-Document.docx\u0026#34;); Split Documents into Multiple Documents in Java Just like we have merged documents above, we can also split Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, presentations, PDF files, and many other documents quickly in different ways.\nSplit by exact page numbers Split a document to several multi-page documents Split by page range Split by Even and Odd pages Split by Exact Page Numbers We can split a document by providing the exact number of pages in Java. The following code will split a PDF file into 3 documents, each having the mentioned single page.\nInitialize the SplitOptions object with output file and mode to split. Instantiate the Merger object with the source file or stream to split. Call the split method to split the provided document and get it saved. String filePath = \u0026#34;document.pdf\u0026#34;; String filePathOut = \u0026#34;document\\_{0}.{1}\u0026#34;; // Split the document into multiple single page documents. SplitOptions splitOptions = new SplitOptions(filePathOut, new int\\[\\] { 3, 6, 8 }); Merger merger = new Merger(filePath); merger.split(splitOptions); Split Document into Multipage Documents If you have a document with 6 pages, the below mentioned little modification in the above code will split your document into 3 separate documents in the following manner:\nDocument Name Page Numbers document_1 1, 2 document_2 3, 4, 5 document_3 6 SplitOptions splitOptions = new SplitOptions(filePathOut, SplitMode.Interval, new int\\[\\] { 3, 6 },); Split by Start \u0026amp; End Page Range If you want to split any document by just providing the page range, here is how a Powerpoint presentation can be split into 3 single page presentations.\nString filePath = \u0026#34;presentation.ppt\u0026#34;; String filePathOut = \u0026#34;presentation\\_{0}.{1}\u0026#34;; // Split the presentation into multiple single page presentations. SplitOptions splitOptions = new SplitOptions(filePathOut, 3, 5); Merger merger = new Merger(filePath); merger.split(splitOptions) Split by Even or Odd Page Ranges You can set the even and odd page ranges to split. Following SplitOptions will allow splitting the provided document into multiple one-page documents for odd pages in the range of 3 to 8.\nSplitOptions splitOptions = new SplitOptions(filePathOut, 3, 8, RangeMode.OddPages); Supported Document Formats As promised, here is the list of document formats that can be merged or split with the above examples. You may visit docs anytime to check the updated list.\nDocument Type File Formats Word Processing DOC, DOCX, DOCM, DOT, DOTX, DOTM, ODT, OTT, RTF, TXT Spreadsheets XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, XLT, XLTX, XLTM, ODS, CSV, TSV Presentations PPT, PPTX, PPS, PPSX, ODP, OTP Drawings VSDX, VSDM, VSSX, VSSM, VSTX, VSTM, VDX, VSX, VTX Web HTML, MHT Page Description Languages TEX, XPS eBooks \u0026amp; Others PDF, EPUB, ONE Good to see you here, you can freely contact us on the forum in case you feel any difficulty or have some confusion or want to give some good suggestions.\nSee Also Merge PPT files in Java ","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/merger/merge-pdf-word-excel-powerpoint-documents-in-java/","summary":"Worried about merge or split documents of various types in multiple platforms?

Here, today we will look into achieving the same but in C#. If you haven\u0026rsquo;t visited the last post, but you want to extract, update, add or remove EXIF data of your images programmatically in C#, then this article will guide you through this. We will cover the following ways to manipulate with EXIF data in C#:\nRead EXIF data Read all EXIF tags from an image Update EXIF properties Remove EXIF metadata Metadata Management C# Library GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET is metadata management .NET API. It has a long list of features for a wide variety of supported file formats. It has the ability to not only extract metadata from images but also it can add, edit, update, and remove metadata from the images and documents with various options.\nIn this article, we will use this API, so please make sure to download its binaries or install the API from NuGet.\nRead EXIF Data from Images in C# You can easily read the EXIF data properties by following the mentioned steps. Starting with the extraction of EXIF data from this picture, 93m tall Statue of Liberty. Here we will use a JPG file as an example image, however, we can use any file whether its a PNG, WebP, BMP, GIF, TIFF, or any other from the supported file formats mentioned at the end of this article.\nLoad the image source file containing EXIF data information using the Metadata class constructor. Get its root package by calling GetRootPackage() method. From the root package, get its ExifPackage from its ExifPackage property. Once you have the EXIF package, you can now access the EXIF properties of the image; like Make, Model, Width, Length, DateTime, Copyright, Software, etc as shown below in C# code example. // Extract EXIF Data Package Information from image in C# using (Metadata metadata = new Metadata(\u0026#34;statue-of-liberty.jpg\u0026#34;)) { IExif root = metadata.GetRootPackage() as IExif; if (root != null \u0026amp;\u0026amp; root.ExifPackage != null) { Console.WriteLine(root.ExifPackage.Make); Console.WriteLine(root.ExifPackage.Model); Console.WriteLine(root.ExifPackage.ImageWidth); Console.WriteLine(root.ExifPackage.ImageLength); Console.WriteLine(root.ExifPackage.DateTime); } } The above code will display the following available EXIF information of the provided JPG image.\nMake : NIKON CORPORATION Model : NIKON D7200 Width : 640 Length : 384 DateTime : 2018:07:06 19:31:05 Reading EXIF IFD \u0026amp; GPS Information of Image EXIF data also include the Exif IFD (Image File Directory) and GPS (Global Positioning System) Information. Now for IFD and GPS package information, you just have to access the respective properties of EXIF package i.e. ExifIfdPackage or GpsPackage. From these packages, you can extract much more information than mentioned below:\nDevice serial number Camera Owner name CFA Pattern Speed Image Direction Date Stamp Area Information Altitude Latitude Longitude etc. Below mentioned code can be added in your above method to display EXIF data along with IFD \u0026amp; GPS information.\n// Display EXIF IFD Package Properties like Serial Number and Camera Owner.

Get the root package by calling the method GetRootPackage(). Get the EXIF package from the ExifPackage property of the root package. Iterate the EXIF package and get desired name-value pairs. Similarly, get the IFD \u0026amp; GPS packages to displays its keys and values. // Extract all EXIF Metadata from the image using (Metadata metadata = new Metadata(\u0026#34;statue-of-liberty.jpg\u0026#34;)) { IExif root = metadata.GetRootPackage() as IExif; if (root != null \u0026amp;\u0026amp; root.ExifPackage != null) { const string pattern = \u0026#34;{0} = {1}\u0026#34;; // Read all EXIF Package Tags and values. foreach (TiffTag tag in root.ExifPackage.ToList()) { Console.WriteLine(pattern, tag.Name, tag.Value); } // Read all EXIF IFD Package Tags and values. foreach (TiffTag tag in root.ExifPackage.ExifIfdPackage.ToList()) { Console.WriteLine(pattern, tag.Name, tag.Value); } // Read all EXIF GPS Package Tags and values. foreach (TiffTag tag in root.ExifPackage.GpsPackage.ToList()) { Console.WriteLine(pattern, tag.Name, tag.Value); } } } Update EXIF Properties in C# You can change the existing EXIF data of any image easily. Following are the steps you may follow:\nUpdate EXIF Package Get the root package by calling the method GetRootPackage(). Set the ExifPackage properties by assigning the new values to corresponding properties like assign new value to: root.ExifPackage.Copyright - to set updated copyrights information. Similarly, you can set the values for the artist, make, model, software, image width \u0026amp; height, DateTime, etc. Update EXIF IFD Package Similar to the setting properties of the EXIF package, we can update the properties of EXIF IFD and GPS packages.\nAssign value to root.ExifPackage.ExifIfdPackage.CameraOwnerName to set camera owner.

Use the setter methods like; setCopyright() - to set updated copyrights information. setImageDescription() - to set description of the image. Similarly, you can set the values for Artist, Make, Model, Software, Image Width \u0026amp; Height, Date, Time, etc. Update EXIF IFD Package Just like updating the EXIF package, you can update the properties of EXIF IFD and GPS packages. Please visit the ExifIfdPackage or ExifGpsPackage class to know how much you can customize for your valuable images and documents.\n// Update/Set new values in EXIF Data (EXIF Package and EXIF IFD Package). try (Metadata metadata = new Metadata(\u0026#34;eiffel-tower.jpg\u0026#34;)) { IExif root = (IExif) metadata.getRootPackage(); // Set the EXIF package if it\u0026#39;s missing if (root.getExifPackage() == null) { root.setExifPackage(new ExifPackage()); } ExifPackage exifPackage = root.getExifPackage(); // Setting the desired values in EXIF Package and EXIF IFD Package. exifPackage.setCopyright(\u0026#34;Copyright (C) 2011-2020 GroupDocs.

In either case, you need a DOC to HTML converter. However, if you need to convert your documents to HTML programmatically, then this article is for you only. This article will cover the following ways to convert documents to HTML in C#:\nSimplest conversion of documents like DOCX to HTML in C#. Convert to HTML with customized options. Convert using the option to show or hide page borders. C# Document Conversion Library GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET is an easy to use powerful API with the ability to convert any document from the wide list of supported document formats into any supported target formats. You may download the API from the downloads section or install it from NuGet.\nConvert DOCX to HTML in C# - Simple This is the simplest and very useful conversion. I better say that you can convert any of your documents to the HTML format. Just check your format from the supported formats list and go-ahead to get it converted.\nCreate the instance of the Converter class to start with your source document. Instantiate MarkupConvertOptions object. Call the Convert method of the Converter class. That\u0026rsquo;s it. Your document will be converted to HTML and the resultant document will be there in your repository. The following small code sample shows the conversion of a DOCX file into HTML using the Converter class in C#.\n// Converting DOCX to HTML in C# using (Converter converter = new Converter(\u0026#34;document.docx\u0026#34;)) { MarkupConvertOptions options = new MarkupConvertOptions(); converter.Convert(\u0026#34;converted.html\u0026#34;, options); } Convert DOC/DOCX to HTML with Customized Options GroupDocs.Conversion provides different other options to get the desired conversion result.

BoardPro has taken best practices from corporate boards and simplified and automated these for SME and non-profit boards. Today, still in its early days, BoardPro is used by over 200 boards. In the first 10 months has hosted over 1000 meetings and converted more than 31,000 documents.\nProblem One of the core features of BoardPro is the production of the meeting “Board Pack”. All the reports and papers for each meeting compiled from a variety of user-uploaded files into a single PDF.\nThe executives of the organisation are able to go into BoardPro, find the scheduled meeting, and can attach their monthly reports, special papers to the specific agenda items they relate to.\nThe reports could be uploaded in a wide variety of formats – .pdf, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .rtf, .txt, .jpg, etc.\nEach file is converted to PDF and then merged into a single PDF in the correct order, with an internally linked Index and Agenda file.\nThe Board Pack is then distributed to the board members, who can prepare for the board meeting from this single file. No longer are board members receiving multiple documents attached to an email, where they are left wondering which document relates to which agenda item, etc.\nSolution BoardPro Limited Using GroupDocs.Conversion to convert user files to PDF\nZeeshan Bhatti, BoardPro CTO\nOur Initial Implementation To create the Board Pack solution, BoardPro needed a .NET solution for converting a variety of files to PDF. As the executives of the organisation are chronically time-poor, they need to be able to load their reports into BoardPro in the format in which they are written. This means that BoardPro needs to accept the most common office document formats: .pdf, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .rtf. txt, .jpg, etc.\nThese documents are stored in their original format in Azure Blob Storage with SQL Server Table enabling the indexing to enable searching of documents. When the Board Pack is requested, an asynchronous service processes this request, converting all attached files into PDF and combining them into a single resultant PDF.\nSystem Architecture Level Issues The earlier implementation of Board Pack feature utilized SyncFusion, a set of libraries for converting various file formats into PDF. Even during the feature implementation phase, we had to constantly work around issues like thread-safety and consistency of behavior and revise system architecture multiple times. Some of these issues are described below.\nSyncFusion lacked support for conversion of documents on managed Azure services, and required us to launch our Board Pack service hosted in a virtual machine (VM). Single-threaded implementation meant that we could process one request per VM. This was a major bottleneck in the overall system. Some documents caused the Board Pack service VM to suspend. This caused a domino effect of failure to cause all subsequent requests to be blocked. We had to implement redundancy to avoid total system failure as presented in the following diagram. Fig 1. Redundancy to avoid total system failure when Syncfusion causes VM to suspend\nDocument Rendering Issues After performing a reasonable amount of testing, we launched this feature for our customers and then the disaster struck – many times over.\nAs soon as the feature was launched, we started getting failures when the uploaded Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents included embedded objects, linked tables or graph objects. Some of the problems we faced during the conversion of these documents are presented as follows.\nIn some cases, the document conversion failed completely, and users were frequently advised to convert to PDF first in the native client. This caused cognitive dissonance among our customers. Some documents were rendered incorrectly e.g., images were rotated at a wrong angle or the chart trendlines were incorrect. All charts were rendered as raster images with low-quality JPEG compression. See an example of this conversion issue as follows. Fig 2. Original trendline chart on the left (screenshot from Word), incorrect raster rendering by SyncFusion on the left (screenshot from PDF).\nAs a result of these issues, we had to constantly apologize to our customers and suggest inconvenient workarounds. Many of these issues could not be reported to SyncFusion because of the sensitivity of user data. However, the issues that were reported, were confirmed to be defects in their product. The disruption and cost to clients and the business sent us in search of another solution that would provide a superior conversion experience.\nExperience Benefits gained by switching to GroupDocs Previously BoardPro had been using SyncFusion generating Board Pack PDFs, which involved converting the user uploaded documents into PDFs and combining them together. This process, as discussed above, was riddled with bugs and scalability issues. After reporting an average of approximately two issues per month to SyncFusion support team, we decided to start looking for alternatives.\nOur search lead us to discover GroupDocs.Conversion. We wanted to be cautious and evaluated GroupDocs for both scalability and reliability before making the final call. In both our evaluation and later implementation to replaced SyncFusion, we have found GroupDocs.Conversion to be a complete winner.\nSystem Architecture Improvements for Scalability Unlike SyncFusion that requires special VMs and has thread-safety issues, GroupDocs works flawlessly on Azure App Service, Azure WebJobs, as well as Azure Functions. This allowed us to leverage the massive scalability of Azure Functions. For our customers, this means that the Board Pack queue will no longer be choked, even in the rare cases the feature fails. The following diagram illustrates the improved architecture that uses Azure Functions to achieve scalability in a serverless manner.\nFig 3. Leveraging serverless architecture to achieve massive scalability of the BoardPack feature using GroupDocs.Conversion. This was previously not possible using SyncFusion\nImproved Document Conversion Having switched to GroupDocs.Conversion, we are yet to discover a single instance where the document conversion fails. In the past, we had kept anonymized versions of the customer documents that failed to convert using SyncFusion, so that we could report them. With GroupDocs.Conversion, we are pleased to find that each one of that document converts flawlessly. All images and tables are rendered correctly, and above all, charts are rendered as vector images that do not distort or introduce JPEG compression artifacts on higher zoom levels. See an example of this conversion as follows.\nFig 4. Original trendline chart on the left (screenshot from Word), flawless rendering by GroupDocs.Conversion on the right (screenshot from PDF). GroupDocs.Conversion generates a Vector image in the resultant PDF.\nNext Steps BoardPro is continually offering new services to boards of SME’s and non-profit organisations. We have plans for digital signatures, custom document templates and offering a wider range of supported documents to be attached. We are convinced that all of this will be possible using the range of products offered by GroupDocs and Aspose.\nSummary BoardPro no longer uses its previous solution for converting various document formats to PDF for building the Board Pack – this has been completely replaced using GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET.\nGroupDocs.Conversion was easy to implement and an elegant solution for our requirements at BoardPro. It has allowed us to offer higher scalability and reliability to our customers. We found GroupDocs.Conversion more stable and more effective at converting documents than our previous solution.\nThe fidelity of documents is very good. Our biggest concern, that executives can upload their files with the complex components they need for their reporting. The concern has been adequately addressed and we have absolute confidence that these will seamlessly be converted and integrated into the Board Pack. Thanks to GroupDocs.Conversion.\nWe have found GroupDocs documentation and support forums to be very helpful. Overall BoardPro has been very impressed with the product and support offered. We wish we had found GroupDocs sooner.\nContact For more information on this case study and to request details on the customer’s previous supplier, please contact us at www.boardprohub.com\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/total/convert-files-to-pdf-and-merge-multiple-pdfs-to-single-pdf-using-groupdocs.conversion/","summary":"About BoardPro BoardPro is an innovative cloud-based startup developing board management software specifically designed to meet the requirements and governance workflows of the board of directors of small to medium businesses and non-profits.

It helps ship owners (direct clients) to ensure ships documentation necessary for trading requirements, maintenance, voyages, staffing, regulatory conformities, legal requirement, and maintenance will be operationally sound. As a ship management, it is at our utmost concerns to operate at the port or at sea. This entails huge documentation such as safety manuals, crew documents, forms and reports to and from the ships to office and vice versa which requires tracking and analysis to meeting regulatory requirements and performance monitoring.\nAnglo-Eastern Ship Management Limited Using GroupDocs.Comparison\nApol Villamor, Senior IT Manager, 13 April 2018 Problem In this kind of industry, transferring, maintaining and updating of documents to and from multiple commercial ships are enormous and complex processes. Document handling overall is a “pulling teeth” in terms of organizing, search and tracking. Therefore, the IT department put forward an initiative to build a document management system (Nautic Systems) to handle document processes in a more structured and efficient way.\nSolution We, the development team in IT department, chose \u0026ldquo;GroupDocs.Comparison\u0026rdquo; to leverage as an API tool incorporated in our Nautic System providing not only on development efficiency but also a highly intuitive document comparison and changes tracking within the document versions that currently most of the controlled document is needed. This achieves the increase of efficiency for about 90% on processing the documents and eliminates back and forth revisions between processors, checkers and approvers. Figure 1: Document version comparison\nFigure 2: Comparison result\nExperience Our development platforms (.NET) truly matched with the GroupDocs API providing the complete document solutions and tools delivering core requirements of the business-user. GroupDocs are very lenient to provide a temporary license to be used for development testing without the trial limitations. The support response turn over to our query is swift and friendly and willing to give ample time to fully test the product until it reaches our satisfaction. They are not going to push you to pay until we are satisfied with the result and expectation. Since the initiative has a very limited time to market requirements, other products are not being benchmarked as GroupDocs alone can provide all we need.\nThe development time incorporating the API took us a week to complete, although meeting some of the challenges like the generation of comparison results for certain document formats. However, the technical support quickly responded to our technical inquiries which the issue has been resolve at the right time.\nNext Steps We will be utilising other products such a search, annotation and watermarking of controlled documents and manuals in the next version and the same will be incorporated in the Nautic System. Also, GroupDocs.Comparison roadmap to expand its functionality on comparing various documents across different storage locations.\nSummary Developing document management for maritime industry is quite challenging, it involves uncommon workplaces such as the ships that are continuously moving around 4 oceans. Transferring of documents across multiple ships coming from various offices (back and forth) requires functionalities that provide efficiency on the processes in a reasonable and timely fashion. GroupDocs bridges that gap by providing useful and powerful API to deliver the document functionalities necessary to provide a quick and timely response to the ship\u0026rsquo;s operations that is the lifeblood of our business.\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/comparison/document-formats-comparison-changes-tracking-solution-by-anglo-eatern/","summary":"About Anglo-Eastern Ship Management Anglo-Eastern Ship Management Limited is a ship management company focusing on managing commercial ships.

Our primary software is HowNow Knowledge, Document and Email Management system which is sold to accounting firms and other businesses.\nWe are a small company based out of Brisbane, Australia and have been developing our own software products (primarily server-based) since inception of the company. Over the last 12 months, we have been moving to a SaaS environment.\nOne of the new SaaS products our small team of developers has been creating is the HowNow Portal to facilitate the exchange of documents between accounting firms and their clients. The product is available standalone, but also links directly from HowNow Document \u0026amp; Email Management, making it seamless for users to upload documents to the portal. Two of the features that this new portal needed was Previewing and Signing. Problem As a small team, we did not have the capacity to develop previewing and signing ourselves and were looking for a product that would integrate seamlessly into our Portal. It needed to be available as an outright purchase and be tightly aligned to HowNow. We did not want to integrate with a signing application that charged per transaction or where our clients had to sign up for a separate service. Solution From the user perspective, the GroupDocs integration is invisible, it just appears that they are using the HowNow product at all times, a very clean experience. GroupDocs previewing and signing is implemented inside an ASP.NET MVC website to make it easy to use as a viewer for multiple documents. We can pass a URL for a single document.\nFigure 1: Signing a tax return in the HowNow Portal.\nExperience Finding a solution: Throughout our research, we looked at many products, particularly for an electronic signing solution. One of these products was GroupDocs and we have trialed the product throughout the development period. While we looked at many other products, some of which provided the solutions we needed, they were not available as an outright purchase, which meant our users would have needed to add another subscription to our service. The GroupDocs team has been extremely helpful during the evaluation period and have added extra functionality that we required. We are hoping for more new features in the future!\nImplementation: We are still in the implementation stage, but so far have not had too many challenges and where we have the support team at GroupDocs has been extremely helpful.\nOutcome: The HowNow Portal is completed to the point of being ready for beta testing in the next month. After that, we except a good take-up from existing and new clients.\nNext Steps We are only at stage one of the HowNow Portal, so we will be implementing additional features, such as multiple signatures in the very near future. We hope to use GroupDocs.Viewer and possibly other GroupDocs products in HowNow Online, which is our SaaS document and email management system.\nSummary Thanks GroupDocs for your assistance and for allowing for an extended trial so that we were comfortable in our selection of your products to integrate into HowNow Portal.

In the latest release, we have added the support of viewing archives and a couple of code files as well as provided the features of working with security settings in the PDF documents. So let\u0026rsquo;s walk through the latest release of our document viewer API for Java and check out what you are going to get after upgrading to v19.11.\nView ZIP and TAR Archives The first and foremost feature of v19.11 is viewing the list of files and folders in the ZIP and TAR archives. This feature is quite handy when you want to view the list of the contents without extracting the archives.\nZIP file is used to encase multiple files or folders as a single package that is further compressed to reduce the file size. Similarly, TAR is a Unix File Archive format used to archive the files and folders. In general, both ZIP and TAR are categorized as compression file formats.\nIn the following sections, you will see how to view a list of contents from the ZIP or TAR archives without extracting.\nView List of Contents in ZIP or TAR Archives When rendering an archive file as HTML, GroupDocs.Viewer returns an HTML page containing the list of items that are at the root of the archive. In the case of rendering as image or PDF, the API returns one or more pages depending on the number of items. The following code sample demonstrates this feature.\nView List of Folders from ZIP or TAR ZIP or TAR archives may contain multiple files and folders. These folders may further contain files as well as subfolders. GroupDocs.Viewer also allows viewing the folders that are located at the root of the archive. The following code sample shows how to get a list of folders from a ZIP or TAR archive.\nView List of Subfolders within a Certain Folder of ZIP or TAR There might be the case when you need to obtain the list of subfolders within a root folder in the ZIP or TAR archive. For such a case, you can specify the folder name using ArchiveOptions.setFolderName(\u0026ldquo;FolderName\u0026rdquo;) and the API will return the list of subfolders.\nView List of Files within a Folder in ZIP or TAR Now, once you have got the list of folders (and the subfolders as well), you can extract and view the items from your desired folder. The following code sample shows how to view the items of a specific folder in a ZIP or TAR.\nFor more details on rendering archives, please visit working with archives.\nWorking with Security Settings in PDF Documents The PDF documents allow setting security parameters to restrict unauthorized access. The security can be enabled using:\nOwner password - The password which is required to change document permissions. User password - The password required to open the document. PDF file permissions - The permissions to allow or deny printing, modification and data extraction. In the latest release, we have added the feature of setting the above-mentioned security settings when rendering a file into a PDF document. The following code sample shows how to set the owner password, user password, and the permissions to deny the printing.\nDetecting Security Settings in PDF Document You can also check the security settings that are applied to a particular PDF document. For example, you can check if printing of the document is allowed or not as shown in the following code sample.\nSupport for Viewing Code Files In addition to the support of ZIP and TAR files, we have also added the feature of viewing C# (.cs) and Visual Basic (.vb) code files.\nBug Fixes The following is the list of bugs that are fixed in v19.11.\nOutput extension is empty when saving HTML page into cache Object null reference exception when rendering DWG document The Watermark opacity is set twice when rendering as HTML The separator is wrong for the opacity value File is corrupted or damaged exception for presentation documents Unable to render .xls file with exception \u0026ldquo;file is corrupted or damaged\u0026rdquo; Improvement We have made the following improvements in v19.11.\nImproved performance for rendering PSD image format into PDF Improved rendering Dicom, Dng and WebP formats into PDF Extended support for CellsOptions.setTextOverflowMode option for rendering the document into image Extended support for CellsOptions.setTextOverflowMode option for rendering into PDF Rendering contact photo from vCard file format (VCF) Improve output for rendering zip archives Well, this was a brief overview of the major features as well as improvements and bug fixes.

Visit spreadsheet redaction for more details on text redaction in spreadsheets.\nSetting PDF Compliance Level GroupDocs.Redaction also allows saving the redacted document into a rasterized PDF document. Since the PDF documents may possess different compliance levels such as PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-1b, we have made it possible for you to set the compliance level of the resultant PDF document as per your choice. For this, the enum PdfComplianceLevel has been added to com.groupdocs.redaction.options package. The following code sample shows how to set the PDF compliance level.\nBreaking Changes In v19.11, we have introduced a new public API which is designed to be simple and easy to use. The following are some notable changes we have made in this version and if you are already using the API, you will face these breaking changes once you upgrade.\nThe Redactor class is introduced to manage the document redaction process (instead of _Document _class from previous versions). The methods redactWith() of the _Document _class are replaced with similar apply() methods in the _Redactor _class. The classes RedactionSummary, RedactionLogRecord, and MetadataFilter have been renamed to RedactorChangeLog, RedactorLogRecord, and MetadataFilters respectively. A number of new exception classes and base exception class for GroupDocs.Redaction exceptions are added. The constructor LoadOptions(DocumentFormatConfiguration) has been removed. All the obsolete members have been removed from the public API. Please visit the migration notes to see how the classes, methods and their usage has been changed in v19.11.\nTry out the latest release by downloading or cloning the source code examples from GitHub.

For example, we had PdfSignTextOptions class for text signatures in PDF files and WordsSignTextOptions class for Word Processing documents. But now, we have introduced a unified approach where the signature, verification, and search options are related to signature types only and not the document formats. A single class, TextSignOptions will now be used for all the document formats.\nThe Signature class is introduced as a single entry point to sign the document with various signature types as well as perform verification and search.\nThe overall document related classes that were used to deal with different document formats have been unified to common classes.\nThe API’s architecture is redesigned from scratch in order to simplify the usage of options and classes to manipulate all the signature types.\nThe procedures of getting the document’s information and generating the previews for the documents are also simplified.\nHow to Migrate? The migration process is not as complex as it is supposed to be for the API versions with major updates. The legacy API has been moved into the com.groupdocs.signature.legacy package. Once you upgrade, it is required to make a project-wide replacement of imports from com.groupdocs.signature. to com.groupdocs.signature.legacy to resolve build issues.\nThe following is a code comparison of the previous versions with the latest one.

Explore API documentation to learn more about the supported features and file formats.\nThose who are already using the API, we\u0026rsquo;ll discuss new features and improvements introduced in version 19.10.\nHow about controlling the document comparison sensitivity? We\u0026rsquo;ve added a sensitivity property in ComparisonSettings class. This option defines limit in percents, when an element is detected as deleted or inserted.\nMinimal value\nMinimal value is 0, comparison process does not occur for any length of sequences of two compared objects.\nValue by default\nThe default percentage is 75, comparison occurs when the percentage of deleted or inserted elements in relation to all elements does not exceed 75%.\nMaximum value\nThat is 100%. Comparison occurs at any length of a common sub-sequence of two compared objects.\nNow let’s understand this with a use-case. Suppose we have two words:\noneSource twoTarget These two words have very small common sub-sequence. Therefore, when comparing them at 75% accuracy, it is not taken into account and we get a completely removed and inserted word as follows:\n(twoTarget)\\[oneSource\\] But at 100% accuracy, this sub-sequence will be treated or represented in a different way, despite the fact that it consists of two letters.\n(tw)o\\[n\\](Targ)e\\[Source\\](t) Isn’t it amazing? You can now get briefed comparison results by just controlling the sensitivity.\nDid you ever think of getting _coordinates _of document changes or differences? It could be confusing at first but let me elaborate this. In your output or resultant document, you get every detail of inserted, deleted or style changed items. The new thing is that you can get coordinate details where changes or differences actually occurred.

Today, I am excited to announce that the API v2 of GroupDocs.Watermark for .NET has been released as v19.10 and it is available for download.\nWhat\u0026rsquo;s new in the latest release? The major updates have been done at the architecture level of the API to simplify its usage. Furthermore, we have performed major product optimization in the codebase and introduced unified classes to deal with watermarking operations for all the supported document formats. Some key reasons for these updates are listed below:\nWatermarker class is introduced as a single entry point to manage watermarks in the document (instead of Document class from previous versions). Adding watermarks has been unified for all supported document formats. The product architecture has been redesigned from scratch in order to simplify the usage of different options to manage the watermarks. Document information and preview generation procedures have been simplified. How to migrate? The legacy API has been moved into Legacy namespace so you\u0026rsquo;ll have to make a project-wide replacement of namespaces from GroupDocs.Watermark to GroupDocs.Watermark.Legacy to resolve build issues after upgrading to v19.10.

You may also find yourself in a situation where the older files being used within the company may no longer be compatible with the company\u0026rsquo;s needs due to certain changes in company policies and software being used by it.\nFor handling such scenarios and to fuel information governance and digital transformation initiatives, organizations must extract more valuable information and business insights from those documents which have either become incompatible or had already been in some format not supported by their systems. However, before an enterprise can leverage the information they already have, they must transform their unconsolidated content into a universal, readily accessible format and in doing so, they also need to make sure that the valuable data present in actual files may not get lost while making those conversions.\nGroupDocs.Conversion for .NET and Java GroupDocs.Conversion released both for .NET and Java makes this conversion of documents extremely easy and the automatic conversion saves the time and effort to rewrite the document in the desired format. It provides the fastest conversion between a variety of formats keeping the safety and quality of the documents in check.

Although, his application is capable to render the MS Outlook Emails, but he also wants to add a feature to render the email attachments.\nThe GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET API for Processing Attachments The GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET API provides the functionality to process attachments from document types that support them, e.g. Email documents, Outlook data files, Archives and PDF documents.\nYou\u0026rsquo;ll see in the below sections that how we can process the Microsoft Outlook Email attachments in various ways.\nRender document attachments To achieve this by using GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET you should:\nInstantiate _Viewer _object for the initial document that contains attachment; Call _SaveAttachment _method and save attachment somewhere (for example, to local disk or memory stream); Instantiate another one V_iewer _object and path saved attachment to it; Specify view options dependent on desired output format - HtmlViewOptions / PngViewOptions / JpgViewOptions / PdfViewOptions; Call View method and render an attachment. Following example demonstrates how to render document attachments.\nRetrieve and print document attachments GroupDocs.Viewer enables you to retrieve and print document attachments. The steps to get the list of all attachments are given below:\nInstantiate _Viewer _object for the initial document that contains attachment; Call Get_Attachments _method and obtain collection of document attachments ; Iterate through attachments collection and print attachment names. Following example demonstrates the implementation of the above steps.\nSave document attachments GroupDocs.Viewer enables you save document attachments to stream. Here are the steps for saving attachments:\nInstantiate _Viewer _object for the initial document that contains attachment; Call Get_Attachments _method and obtain collection of document attachments ; Iterate through attachments collection and save attachment calling Save_Attachment _method. Following example demonstrates how to retrieve and save attachments.\nThe API offers many other handful features for your viewing applications.

We have done it for many of our document manipulation APIs and recently, we have released all-new GroupDocs.Redaction for .NET API for you as v19.9. With this release, we have made it even easier for you to programmatically remove or mask classified information from text, metadata, and the annotations in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF documents as well as images.\nWhy upgrade to the new API? First of all, let\u0026rsquo;s have a look at why the new API is different from the previous one. The following are the key points about the changes we have introduced in the latest release.\nThe architecture of the API has been revamped to perform major product optimization. The classes and methods have been renamed to make it even simpler to understand and use. The Document class has been replaced with the Redactor class as a single entry point to manage the redaction process for all the supported document formats. The methods _RedactWith() _of the _Document _class have been replaced with similar _Apply() _methods in _Redactor _class. The method Document.Save(Stream, SaveOptions) has been replaced with Redactor.Save(Stream, RasterizationOptions). Renamed RedactionSummary to RedactorChangeLog, RedactionLogEntry to RedactorLogEntry, and _MetadataFilter _to MetadataFilters. The classes for options and exceptions have been put into separate namespaces. Obsolete members have been removed from public API. Added a number of new exception classes and base exception class for GroupDocs.Redaction exceptions. How to migrate? The migration to an API version with major updates is always hard since it requires considerable efforts to update the code. However, these efforts are valuable when you get something more improved and efficient in the return. So if you are already using GroupDocs.Redaction for .NET and want to migrate to the new API, let me give you a code comparison between the new and the older versions. This way, you will get an idea of how things would be changed after migration.\nOld coding style\nNew coding style (since v19.9)\nFor a complete list of all public API changes, please have a look at the release notes.\nAlright!

The MS Project uses the MPP file format to store the data or information related to project management. Since MPP is the proprietary file format of Microsoft, you need to have MS Project installed to view .mpp files. However, if you want to view .mpp files in your web or desktop application without installing MS Project or if you are interested in creating your online MPP viewer then you can easily do it using our .NET document viewer API.\nGroupDocs.Viewer for .NET supports viewing MPP format and the big news is that we have now extended this support for .mpp files created in MS Project 2019. So now you can view .mpp files without worrying about their versions. Also, there is no pubic API change for this, so you don\u0026rsquo;t need to change anything in the code if you have already embedded this feature in your application. If you are new and want to get more details on it along with the code samples, please visit Rendering MS Project Documents.\nIn addition, we have also added the support of viewing following file formats in v19.9:\nOpenXPS (.oxps) OpenDocument Flat XML Spreadsheet (.fods) Not only this, but you can also avail the following bug fixes after upgrading to the latest release.\nIncorrect links to resources when rendering into HTML Failed to render password-protected ODP/OTP presentations Styles are embedded when rendering XLSX into HTML with external resources Incorrect page count for EPUB document Page order ignored when rendering MS Project document into PDF JpegQuality option of PdfFileOptions not works when rendering ODP presentation HTML representation of PPTX document takes too much time Misplaced characters when rendering Word document into HTML or image So if you are interested in getting the above-mentioned features and fixes, just download and integrate GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET 19.9 in your application.

The Metadata summarizes basic information about data. In other words, it\u0026rsquo;s an information which describes the data that contained in something like a web page, document, or file. Another way to think of metadata is as a short explanation or summary of what the data is.\nA simple example of metadata for a document might include a collection of information like the author, file size, date the document was created, and keywords to describe the document. Metadata for a music file might include the artist\u0026rsquo;s name, the album, and the year it was released.\nTypes of Metadata Metadata comes in several types and is used for a variety of broad purposes that can be roughly categorized as a business, technical, or operational.\nDescriptive: Metadata properties include title, subject, genre, author, and creation date, for example. Rights: Metadata might include copyright status, rights holder, or license terms. Technical: Metadata properties include file types, size, creation date and time, and type of compression. Technical metadata is often used for digital object management and interoperability. Preservation: Metadata is used in navigation. Example preservation metadata properties include an item\u0026rsquo;s place in a hierarchy or sequence. Markup languages: Include metadata used for navigation and interoperability. Properties might include heading, name, date, list, and paragraph. Metadata in files helps to find and working with various types of files. Writing meaningful metadata saves a lot of time in future work. Having the ability to filter through that metadata makes it much easier for someone to locate a specific document.\nMetadata API as a Metadata Management Tool {#IntroductiontoGroupDocs.MetadataforJava-WhatisGroupDocs.Metadata?} Keeping above in mind, The GroupDocs.Metadata API is developed to make life easier while working with metadata. It is a very powerful and easy to use API that provides all basic metadata operations i.e (view, add, modify, remove) for a number of file formats. API gets the file as an input and makes its metadata accessible to the user. Now, it\u0026rsquo;s up to the user to perform any of his operations on this metadata.\nLet\u0026rsquo;s discuss a business case regarding metadata management by using GroupDocs.Metadata API.\nFinding Photos Made on Specific Camera Digital Images may contain some useful information in the form of metadata. As soon as we capture a digital photograph, the camera generates a wide range of information about the image i-e camera\u0026rsquo;s information, author\u0026rsquo;s information, GPS information, and much more.\nWe can manually access the image details/metadata by going to images\u0026rsquo; properties to find:\nImages that were taken on a specific camera Images with a specific subject Images of a specific artist/author Images that were taken at a specific place/location But what if we are dealing with a huge number of images just, like, for example, Flicker does? It\u0026rsquo;s the mother of thousands of directories containing millions of images. Even a superhuman will require a considerable amount of time and effort to find the images matching some certain metadata property (as mentioned above). It is a serious problem, but only when we do not have GroupDocs.Metadata API.\nBelow is an easy example of API usage in the implementation of this use case.\nPhoto Parser in C# Let\u0026rsquo;s write a PhotoParser class in C#:\nPhoto Parser in Java Java guys will write as follows:\nSuppose, an image collection may contain JPEG images captured by a Sony Camera.

Why the updates are important? This is because if there is no change there is no progress and staying the same over the time makes the things die. The updates in the software components are also similar when a new version of the same software replaces the old one. A software that remains the same and doesn\u0026rsquo;t introduce any improvements or new features becomes obsolete. This is the reason the updates are always welcomed. And today, I am going to tell you about some major updates we have provided for our electronic signature API - GroupDocs.Signature for .NET.\nAfter a having gap of approx. two months, we have now released an improved and more simplified version of API - v19.8. The primary objective behind this release was to make the usage of API\u0026rsquo;s features simpler and introduce a unified approach to handle all the supported document formats. The revamping of the architecture and the major optimizations have made the API more efficient in terms of resource consumption, especially memory utilization.\nLet\u0026rsquo;s dig it further and check out what are the key reasons to upgrade to the latest release.\nIn the previous versions of the API, we had a separate class to deal with each supported document format. Since it was difficult to work with multiple classes, we have now introduced a unified approach. The signature options, verification options, and search options are now related to signature types only and not the document formats. For example, PdfSignTextOptions and WordsSignTextOptions were used to specify different options for text signatures in PDF and Word Processing document respectively. Now, a single class, TextSignOptions will be used for both the document formats.\nThe single Signature class is introduced to sing the document with various signature types and perform verification and search operations for all the supported document formats.\nThe overall document related classes which were used to deal with different document formats have been unified to common classes.\nThe API\u0026rsquo;s architecture is redesigned from scratch in order to simplify the usage of options and classes to manipulate all the signature types.\nThe procedures of getting the document\u0026rsquo;s information and generating the previews for the documents are also simplified.\nLet me now show you how these updates have affected and optimized the code. The following is the code sample that signs the PDF document with a text signature using the previous version of the API.\nNow, have a look at how you would perform the same operation after upgrading to the latest release.\nSee, the code is more simplified as well as optimized in the new API. Not only this, but it also consumes fewer resources as compared to the previous versions.\nSo if you are already using GroupDocs.Signature for .NET then it is the right time to upgrade to the latest release. In case you are afraid of the breaking changes that you may face after upgrading to a version with major changes, we have made the things much easier for you. In the latest version, the legacy API has been moved into the Legacy namespace. Therefore, after you upgrade to version 19.8, it is required to make project-wide replacement of namespaces only.

Today, I am quite excited to announce that GroupDocs.Viewer for Java 19.8 has been released with 20+ new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Although every new feature in this version has its own importance, I have picked a few interesting but useful features for you. So in this post, I am going to give you an overview of how to work with the folders contained by Outlook Data Files (OST/PST) and use the message filters to render selective Outlook messages.\nIn the previous versions of the API, we already have the feature of rendering all the messages from the Outlook Data Files. But there could be the case when you need to render the messages from a specified folder. Also, what if you want to render the only messages you have received from a particular email address? These are the questions that I\u0026rsquo;ll answer today.\nFirst of all, let me give you a brief overview of the Outlook Data Files and the message folders.\nThe Outlook uses OST and PST files to store the local copy of all the information when you set up your email account. Have a look at how Microsoft defines both of these data files:\nOutlook Data File (.pst) - An Outlook Data File (.pst) contains your messages and other Outlook items and is saved on your computer.\nOffline Outlook Data File (.ost) - Most other account types, such as IMAP accounts, Office 365 accounts, Exchange accounts, and Outlook.com accounts use an Offline Outlook Data File (.ost) file to store a synchronized copy of your mailbox information on your local computer.\n(read more)\nMicrosoft\nNow let\u0026rsquo;s come to the Outlook folders. MS Outlook manages your messages in different folders such as Inbox for incoming messages, Sent items for the messages you send and so on. Along with the default message folders, you can also create new folders to organize the messages in the way you want. For example, you can create a separate folder to keep the messages from a particular organization or a person. Have a look at the following image which shows different folders in the Outlook:\nNow you would have got the idea of Outlook Data Files and the folder they contain. Let\u0026rsquo;s move on to the features that we have introduced to deal with the Outlook folders and the messages.\nRetrieving the list of Outlook folders Before rendering the messages from a specific folder, you must know the names of all the folders the data file contains. Once you have got the list, you can select a folder and render the messages from it. For this, the API provides OutlookDocumentInfoContainer.getFolders() method which returns a list of the folder names. This is how you can do it using the code:\nThere might be the case when you want to get the list of subfolders from a specific folder e.g. Inbox. In that case, you just need to specify the folder\u0026rsquo;s name using DocumentInfoOptions.getOutlookOptions().setFolderName() and the rest of the code will remain the same.\nRendering messages from a specified folder Now when you have got the list of the folders, you can render the messages from a particular folder. This is again as easy as pie. Just mention the folder\u0026rsquo;s name in the HtmlOptions or ImageOptions and call getPages() method. Have a look at the complete code:\nIn case you want to render the folder\u0026rsquo;s content as a PDF document, you will specify the folder\u0026rsquo;s name in PdfFileOptions and call the getPdfFile() method (as shown below).\nThis is what you would get in the rendering result:\nFiltering messages to be rendered Another important feature we have introduced is filtering the messages that you want to render. With this feature, you can select the messages by applying the following filters:\nText filter - To filter messages by subject and content of the message. Address Filter - To filter messages by sender\u0026rsquo;s and recipient\u0026rsquo;s email addresses. You can set these filters using setTextFilter() and setAddressFilter() methods of HtmlOptions, ImageOptions, and PdfFileOptions classes. Suppose, you want to render all the messages that contain the word \u0026lsquo;Susan\u0026rsquo; in the subject or the body. In that case, you will set the text filter to \u0026lsquo;Susan\u0026rsquo; in the following way:\nSimilarly, you can apply the address filter to get the messages based on the sender\u0026rsquo;s or the recipient\u0026rsquo;s email address.\nWell, you have seen how easy it is to view the folders as well as the messages from the Outlook Data Files using GroupDocs.Viewer for Java 19.8. This is it from my side. For a full list of new features, improvements, and fixes, please have a look at the release notes. Try out the API features yourself by downloading and running the examples project. For more details on each feature of the API, have a look at the documentation.\nAs always we look forward to connecting with you via the GroupDocs Forum.\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/viewer/view-messages-from-desired-folders-in-outlook-data-files-ostpst/","summary":"Hello everyone!

With the efforts of our hard-working team and the support of our valuable customers, we are able to make the API stand among the top-ranked document viewer APIs. Since the Sky is the only limit, we always keep on enriching the API with more features, improving its performance, and making its usage easier for the developers. And today, I am excited to announce that we have introduced a new public API for GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET with major improvements.\nIn the latest version of the API (v19.8), we\u0026rsquo;ve improved the architecture of the API to simplify its usage and make it even easier to build applications. With the major product optimization, the API now consumes fewer resources as compared to the previous versions. Whereas, the document rendering speed has been improved significantly.\nLet me give you a few reasons why you should switch to the v19.8 of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET.\nMemory usage - Significantly improved and optimized API\u0026rsquo;s memory usage (from 10% to 400% approx. depending on the document type ). Improved rendering speed - The overall rendering speed has been improvedremarkably. Code optimization - Optimized public API to make it even more intuitive and simple (with only a few lines of code you will be able to perform any action which required 20+ lines of code in the previous version). Single entry point - A single class to manage the document rendering process for any supported file format. Easy to use - API now gives more options to the developer in terms of usage and creativity. With the major updates, the public API of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET has undergone significant changes. As a result, the usage of the classes and their properties and functions has also been changed. Let\u0026rsquo;s now check the difference between the coding styles of the new and old version of the API.\nThis is how we used to get the HTML representation of the document with embedded resources using the old version:\nNow, have a look at how we can perform the same operation using the new API.\nHave you noticed that the code has been shrunk significantly to fewer lines of code in the coding style of the new API? Also, you don\u0026rsquo;t have to create separate handlers for HTML and image representation. Instead, just create a Viewer class and control its behavior using the classes that extend ViewOptions i.e. HtmlViewOptions, PngViewOptions and so on.\nNow, as a developer, it is obvious that you would think about how would you deal with breaking changes in code after upgrading to the version which contains the major updates. So let me make it easier for you. In the latest version, the legacy API has been moved into the Legacy namespace. Therefore, after you upgrade to version 19.8, it is required to make project-wide replacement of namespaces only. This means that the namespaces will be changed from GroupDocs.Viewer. to GroupDocs.Viewer.Legacy. to resolve build issues. And that\u0026rsquo;s it!\nAlright! So now, its time to switch to the latest version. I would recommend you to first explore the documentation of the new API with the help of the source code examples. Once you try it yourself, you will get a better idea of how useful it\u0026rsquo;ll be for you to switch to the latest version. You can also consult the release notes as well as the migration notes.\nIn case you would find the migration process difficult for you, feel free to post on our forum.\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/viewer/its-time-to-upgrade-to-groupdocs.viewer-for-.net-19.8/","summary":"GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET has been serving the developers in creating the document viewer applications for many years.

It\u0026rsquo;s been a while since my last post about GroupDocs.Signature for Java. So, our Java community might have been waiting for something new regarding our e-signature API. Well, we have recently released version 19.7 of GroupDocs.Signature for Java and today, I shall give you an overview of something interesting that we have introduced in our latest release.\nIn the last couple of months, we introduced a quite valuable feature in the .NET variant related to the metadata signatures - signing documents with custom metadata. We have now introduced this feature in the Java API as well. So now, you can define and use the custom objects as metadata signatures using GroupDocs.Signature for Java.\nSigning document with custom metadata objects becomes useful when you want to embed the metadata signatures containing the information/data of your own choice. For example, you may want to embed the information to the document about who did sign the document, the date when the document was signed and so on. In that case, you can not use the built-in metadata properties of the documents. This is where you can use the custom objects in metadata signatures.\nFor this, the following classes are extended with new public method AddSignature.\nWordsMetadataSignature - for Word documents SlidesMetadataSignature - for Presentations CellsMetadataSignature - for Spreadsheets PdfMetadataSignature - for PDF documents This method creates new metadata signature with passed arguments (name and value), adds the signature to list of metadata signatures and returns the newly created object as a result.\nLet\u0026rsquo;s now check out how to add the custom object in the metadata signature. I am assuming that we have to sign the Word document, therefore, I\u0026rsquo;ll be using the classes that work with the Word documents.\nThe following is the custom class containing the data members that I want to embed as the metadata signature in the document.\nAnd this is how we would create the object of the custom class and then add that object to the metadata signature collection of the input document.\nDid you notice that I have done something extra in the code before signing the document? Yes, after adding the object to the signature collection, I have encrypted it to make it secure. So you can avoid the custom metadata signatures to be captured by the unauthorized persons by applying the encryption.\nThat is not the end yet! You can also search your custom objects within the metadata signature collection of the documents using SignatureHandler.search method. The following code snippet shows how to search the encrypted object that we have added before.\nFor adding and searching encrypted custom objects in other document formats, please visit the documentation.\nIn addition to the above-mentioned features, we have also added some improvements regarding .djvu file format as well as three bug fixes. For details, please have a look at the release notes.\nIf you are interested in using the newly arrived features in your e-signing application, just download and integrate the latest release. For working code samples, download or clone our examples project from GitHub repository.\nIn case you would have any questions or suggestions, just create a topic on our forum and we would love to have a conversation with you.\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/signature/sign-documents-with-encrypted-custom-objects/","summary":"Hello guys!

I am back with something new and exciting for the developers who use to deal with the automated data extraction from the documents. A few years back, we released GroupDocs.Parser API which aimed to extract the text from various document formats. We kept on adding the features to it and today, it has become a giant API that provides a wide range of features including formatted text extraction, highlighted and structured text extraction, metadata extraction, extraction of images and the list goes on.\nIn v19.5 of .NET and Java API, we have introduced another much-needed feature of extracting data from the documents. So today, I shall give you an overview of this feature and demonstrate its working using the code samples.\nSome document formats, such as PDF, also support adding the data fields into the documents. An example of this is the invoice that is used to record a predefined set of information such as invoice numbers, order number, date, price, etc. Such documents have a predefined format and therefore, we also call them template documents. There might be the case when you want to process all or some of the invoices and extract the desired data from them. In that case, an automated system must be required to do the job with a little effort.\nIf you are dealing with such a case then no need to worry at all because GroupDocs.Parser now provides this feature. So let\u0026rsquo;s check out how you could use this feature for extracting data from the template documents such as invoices. To demonstrate this feature, I shall take the following PDF invoice as the input document.\nFor data extraction, TemplateField and TemplateFieldPosition classes are introduced. The TemplateFieldPosition class defines the data field\u0026rsquo;s position on the page in the document. At the moment, we have introduced the following position types:\nFixed - The position is set by a rectangle. Regex - The position is found by a regular expression. Related - The position is set relative to the related field. To extract the data fields from the document, we first create a document template which contains the template fields. The template fields are those fields for which you want to extract the values from the document, such as Invoice Number, Order Number, etc. Once the document template is created, it is used to parse the input document using DocumentParser.Default.ParseByTemplate method. Have a look at the following code snippet in which we are extracting data from the data field that contains \u0026ldquo;Address\u0026rdquo; in its name.\nC#\nJava\nApart from extracting by field names, you can also extract the whole data tables. The procedure is the same, except the one thing that is creating TableAreaDetectorParameters and the TemplateTable objects. The TemplateTable object is created using TableAreaDetectorParameters objects that are used to detect the tables in the desired rectangular area. In the end, the TemplateTable is passed to the DocumentTemplate object. Let\u0026rsquo;s check out how this can be achieved using the code.\nC#\nJava\nNow, you have seen how you can extract the desired data from the document templates. If you want to avail this feature, just download the latest release and for more details, consult the Developer\u0026rsquo;s Guide of the API. In case you would find anything confusing, just feel free to post it on our forum and we would love to assist you.\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/parser/extract-data-fields-from-the-documents-using-groupdocs.parser-product-family/","summary":"Hello everyone!

GroupDocs.Redaction has been released for Java platform!"},{"content":"A watermark in presentation software and word processing is frequently used in a slightly different manner than digital watermarks used in other digital multimedia content. This watermark is often a faded image or text as a background of a slide or a page. It is meant to enhance but is not the focal point of the page/slide. Watermarks are sometimes used in the form of a logo, discreetly placed on a slide or page to brand the presentation or document.\nHow GroupDocs.Watermark Works? GroupDocs.Watermark is an API for adding watermarks to the documents of different formats. It provides the effective watermarking methods that allow you to add watermarks that are hard to be automatically removed by third-party tools. It also allows you to search and remove previously added watermarks of popular types (including watermarks added by third-party tools) in a document. The API provides straight forward and easy to use set of methods to add, search and remove watermarks in supported file formats. It supports following watermark types.\nText watermark Image watermark Watermarking in Microsoft Word Documents When adding watermark in Microsoft Word application, it places a shape with appropriate content in section headers. GroupDocs.Watermark API uses the same approach. When calling AddWatermark method of WordsDocument class, the shape is added to a document.\nYou can also set some additional options when adding shape watermark to a Word document using GroupDocs.Watermark.\nThe Following code sample demonstrates it.\nThe code snippet for java guys is given below:\nYou can see the faded red watermark in the center of the document page like the screenshot given below:\nLet\u0026rsquo;s pick some other cases to see how effectively you can do watermarking in a Word Processing document.\nAdding Watermark to a Particular Section of Word Document The Microsoft Word allows the user to divide and format the document into multiple sections. Defining sections in the document enables the user to set specific page layout and formatting for different parts of the document. An example of the sections is headers and footers. Headers and footers are to display text or any graphical object on all the pages.\nGroupDocs.Watermark API allows you to add watermark objects in the headers and footers of the page. Adding watermark to a section of a Word document using GroupDocs.Watermark consists of the following steps.\nLoad the document Create and initialize watermark object Set watermark properties Add watermark to the section of the document Save the document Following code sample adds watermark to the headers of a particular section.\nJava guys will write the code like below:\nLocking Watermark in a Word Document There might be the case when you need to lock the watermarks in a Word document to restrict the editing. To deal with such cases, the GroupDocs.Watermark provides 5 variants of locking Word document when adding watermark.\nAllowOnlyRevisions: user can only add revision marks to the document. AllowOnlyComments: user can only modify comments in the document. AllowOnlyFormFields: the document is split into one-page sections and locked section with watermark is added between each two adjacent document sections. ReadOnly: the entire document is read-only. ReadOnlyWithEditableContent: the document is read-only, but all the content except the watermark is marked as editable. LockType property has been added to WordsShapeSettings class to set any of the above-mentioned lock types. WordsLockType enum in GroupDocs.Watermark.Office.Words namespace is used to define the lock type.\nThe following code sample shows how to add and lock the watermark in all pages.\nJava guys can follow the code as given below:\nRemoving Watermark from a Particular Section of Word Document Removing watermark from a particular section of a Word document using GroupDocs.Watermark consists of following steps.\nLoad the document Create and initialize image/text search criteria Find possible watermarks Remove found watermarks Save the document Following code sample shows how to remove watermark from a particular section.\nThe following is code sample for Java users:\nThe complete ready to run code sample is available on GitHub.\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/watermark/watermarking-in-word-processing-documents/","summary":"A watermark in presentation software and word processing is frequently used in a slightly different manner than digital watermarks used in other digital multimedia content.

For example, when a document is to be signed by the concerned person at a company, he puts his signature as well as stamps the document as a proof that the document is signed by the authorized person. In other words, the stamps are used to seal the document that is being exchanged among multiple persons/parties.\nVarious companies use digital signatures to sign their document using automated systems. This way, they can avoid the efforts of manually signing a bunch of documents as well as they don\u0026rsquo;t have to print the document for signatures and then scan the signed copy for distribution. If such companies have the requirement to sign as well as stamp their documents then how would they do it digitally?

It is similar to the PPT format, however, unlike PPT, the presentation mode starts automatically when the PPS file is opened. PPSX - An updated version of the PPS format that was supported by Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 versions. PPSM - It represents a Macro-enabled Slide Show file format that is created with Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or higher for running the slideshow. vCard - Or VCF (Virtual Card Format) is a digital format that is used to store the contact information. It is a popular and widely used file format for information exchange. The PPS, PPSX and PPSM file formats will be accessed in the same way that you have been using for other presentation formats using PptFormat class.

This example shows how to get a list of indexed documents from an index:\nstring indexFolder = @\u0026#34;c:\\MyIndex\u0026#34;; // Creating index from existing folder Index index = new Index(indexFolder); // Getting list of indexed documents DocumentInfo[] documents = index.GetIndexedDocuments(); // Getting items of container document DocumentInfo[] items = index.GetIndexedDocumentItems(documents[0]); For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nExtract Document Text Using the latest version, you can now extract document text from the index archive or from a document directly if archiving is not used. An extracted text can be used to check an encoding that is used for indexing text documents. Also, it can be used for quick manual checking of the presence or absence of any words in documents.

In practice, this means that there is no longer any need to provide an encoding when generating document text with highlighted found words. This example shows how to generate HTML formatted text with highlighted found words:\nstring indexFolder = @\u0026#34;c:\\MyIndex\u0026#34;; string documentFolder = @\u0026#34;c:\\MyDocuments\u0026#34;; // Creating index Index index = new Index(indexFolder); // Subscribing to file indexing event index.FileIndexing += (sender, args) =\u0026gt; { // Setting encoding for each text file during indexing args.Encoding = Encodings.windows_1251; }; // Adding text documents encoded in windows-1251 to index index.AddToIndex(documentFolder); // Searching for word \u0026#39;человеческий\u0026#39; SearchResults results = index.Search(\u0026#34;человеческий\u0026#34;); // Generating HTML formatted text with highlighted found words // There is no need to provide the encoding again - it is saved in the index string htmlText = index.HighlightInText(results[0]); For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nAvailable Channels and Resources Here are a few channels and resources for you to download, try, learn and get technical support on GroupDocs.Search:\nInstallation - Install GroupDocs.Search using NuGet Documentation - Product docs Examples/Plugins/Showcases - Examples and Open Source Application Video Tutorials - YouTube Videos Product Support Forum - Technical Support Forum for GroupDocs.Search Feedback If you have any suggestions, questions, or queries related to the GroupDocs.Search for .NET API, we will be happy to hear from you.

The latest version provides the support of rendering DXF format as well as the tiled rendering of the CAD documents. Furthermore, we have added the feature of forced password validation for password protected documents. Along with the new features, there are 14 improvements and bug fixes in this monthly release. Below is the list of new features, improvements, and fixes added in GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET 18.6.\nSupported File Formats GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET 18.6 supports rendering of DXF file format. For a complete list of supported file formats, please visit this documentation article.\nForced Password Validation When password protected documents are rendered with the caching enabled, document password is validated only on the first call. All subsequent renderings provide output without checking the document password. In order to alter this behavior and let the API validate document password on each rendering, set ForcePasswordValidation property of the ViewerConfig as shown in the code snippet below.\n//Init viewer config ViewerConfig viewerConfig = new ViewerConfig(); viewerConfig.StoragePath = \u0026#34;c:\\\\storage\u0026#34;; //Set the password to be validated on every call viewerConfig.ForcePasswordValidation = true; // Init viewer html handler ViewerHtmlHandler viewerHtmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(viewerConfig); // Set the guid of the document you want to render string guid = \u0026#34;with-images.pdf\u0026#34;; //Set document password HtmlOptions htmlOptions = new HtmlOptions(); htmlOptions.Password = \u0026#34;documentpassword\u0026#34;; //Render document with specified options List pages = viewerHtmlHandler.GetPages(guid, htmlOptions); For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nTiled Rendering or Rendering by Coordinates of CAD Documents Tiled rendering (or rendering by coordinates) is the process of rendering CAD documents (into an image, HTML or PDF) by dividing into square parts and rendering each part (or tile) separately. In tiled rendering, the amount of memory involved is reduced as compared to rendering the entire document at once. Since the version 18.6, tiled rendering is available for rendering DWG file format into image and HTML. When the tiled rendering is enabled, only the Model is rendered, and every tile composes a separate page. You can add as many tiles as you need. The following code snippet demonstrates how to render DWG drawing into an image by dividing into four equal parts.\n// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig(); config.StoragePath = @\u0026#34;C:\\storage\u0026#34;; // Create image handler ViewerImageHandler imageHandler = new ViewerImageHandler(config); string guid = \u0026#34;document.dwg\u0026#34;; // Get document width and height DocumentInfoContainer docInfo = imageHandler.GetDocumentInfo(guid); int width = docInfo.Pages[0].Width; int height = docInfo.Pages[0].Height; // Set tile width and height as a half of image total width int tileWidth = width / 2; int tileHeight = height / 2; int pointX = 0; int pointY = 0; //Create image options and add four tiles, one for each quarter ImageOptions options = new ImageOptions(); Tile tile = new Tile(pointX, pointY, tileWidth, tileHeight); options.CadOptions.Tiles.Add(tile); pointX += tileWidth; tile = new Tile(pointX, pointY, tileWidth, tileHeight); options.CadOptions.Tiles.Add(tile); pointX = 0; pointY += tileHeight; tile = new Tile(pointX, pointY, tileWidth, tileHeight); options.CadOptions.Tiles.Add(tile); pointX += tileWidth; tile = new Tile(pointX, pointY, tileWidth, tileHeight); options.CadOptions.Tiles.Add(tile); // The pages list will contain four images, one for each quarter List pages = imageHandler.GetPages(guid, options); foreach (PageImage page in pages) { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Page number: {0}\u0026#34;, page.PageNumber); Stream imageContent = page.Stream; } For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nBug Fixes Following issues are fixed in version 18.6 of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET.\nAccess to the path \u0026lsquo;c:\\windows\\system32\\inetsrv\\vs.bin\u0026rsquo; is denied Can\u0026rsquo;t set different default fonts when rendering PDF document Incorrect rendering of items with background color in Visio document GetFileList throws \u0026ldquo;Guid for file should contain extension\u0026rdquo; when file has no extension Some STL files are not supported Text color is incorrect when rendering PDF The content of the cell is hidden when rendering Excel to HTML Unable to render Presentation documents, after ViewerConfig.FontDirectories are added Wrong number of layouts in DXF Improvements Following are the improvements that we have made in version 18.6.\nExtended support for DefaultFontName setting to PDF documents when rendering into PDF Added new property EmbedResources which will replace IsResourcesEmbedded property in HtmlOptions class Support of empty string for ViewerConfig.CacheFolderName property Eliminated the gap between the list of tasks and footer when rendering MS Project documents Extended support for DefaultFontName option for CAD documents Related Links and Resources We have a few channels and resources for you to download, learn, try and get technical support on our document viewer API.\nInstallation - Install GroupDocs.Viewer using NuGet Documentation - Product Docs Video Tutorials - YouTube Videos Examples / Plugins - GitHub Source Code Examples Sample Front End Apps - Open Source Document Viewer Applications Technical Support Forum - Technical Support Forum for GroupDocs.Viewer Feedback As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write on our forum.\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/viewer/tiled-rendering-of-cad-documents-using-groupdocs.viewer-for-.net-18.6/","summary":"We are pleased to announce the release of version 18.6 of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET.

Furthermore, we have added the support of rendering POTX, PPTM, and EPS file formats. Below you find the list of new features, improvements, and fixes added in GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET 18.4.\nSupported File Formats We have added the support of following file formats in this version.\nPOTX (PowerPoint Open XML Presentation Template) PPTM (PowerPoint Open XML Macro-Enabled Presentation) EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) Managing Text Overflow when Rendering Cells Documents When cells documents are rendered into HTML, overflowed text inside the cell overlays subsequent cells until it meets non-empty cell. To expand the cell width to fit the overflowed text, we have added a new option TextOverflowMode.AutoFitColumn for CellsOptions.TextOverflowMode property of HtmlOptions, ImageOptions or PdfOptions classes.

GroupDocs.Viewer renders each print area in a worksheet as a separate page. The following code sample shows how to use this feature.\n// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig(); config.StoragePath = @\u0026#34;C:\\storage\u0026#34;; // Create html handler ViewerHtmlHandler htmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(config); string guid = \u0026#34;document.xlsx\u0026#34;; // Enable redering of print area HtmlOptions options = new HtmlOptions(); options.CellsOptions.RenderPrintAreaOnly = true; // Get pages List pages = htmlHandler.GetPages(guid, options); foreach (PageHtml page in pages) { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Page number: {0}\u0026#34;, page.PageNumber); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Html content: {0}\u0026#34;, page.HtmlContent); } For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nRendering Hidden Rows and Columns Sometimes cells document may contain hidden columns and rows. By default, hidden columns and rows are not rendered by the API. However, you can now control the inclusion of hidden content in the rendering results using _ShowHiddenRows _and ShowHiddenColumns properties of _GroupDocs.Viewer.Converter.Options.CellsOptions_class as shown in the following code sample.\n// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig(); config.StoragePath = @\u0026#34;C:\\storage\u0026#34;; // Create html handler ViewerHtmlHandler htmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(config); string guid = \u0026#34;document.xlsx\u0026#34;; // Enable redering of hidden rows and columns HtmlOptions options = new HtmlOptions(); options.CellsOptions.ShowHiddenRows = true; options.CellsOptions.ShowHiddenColumns = true; // Get pages List pages = htmlHandler.GetPages(guid, options); foreach (PageHtml page in pages) { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Page number: {0}\u0026#34;, page.PageNumber); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Html content: {0}\u0026#34;, page.HtmlContent); } For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nSimple File Storage Interface Starting from v18.4, GroupDocs.Viewer provides the simple interface IFileStorage to implement custom file storage.

The latest version has come with 9 new features, 16 improvements, and more than 20 bug fixes. Please continue to read more about this major release of GroupDocs.Viewer for Java.\nGroupDocs.Viewer for Java 17.5.0 - New Features Following are the most notable features of GroupDocs.Viewer for Java 17.5.0.\nSupport of New File Formats We have added the support of following file formats in this latest release.\nVSTX and VSSX (Microsoft Visio) ONE (OneNote) DjVu (multi-layer raster image) Show/Hide Tracked Changes in Word Document When rendering a Word document, the API does not provide results with tracked changes. We have added a setting to override the default behavior of the API. If you want to see tracked changes in your rendering result, use getWordsOptions.setShowTrackedChanges method of RenderOptions (ImageOptions, HtmlOptions or PdfFileOptions) and pass it to corresponding ViewerHandler (ViewerImageHandler or ViewerHtmlHandler) as shown in the following code snippet.\n// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig(); config.setStoragePath(STORAGE_PATH); // Create HTML handler ViewerHtmlHandler htmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(config); String guid = \u0026#34;document.docx\u0026#34;; // Set options to render tracked changes HtmlOptions options = new HtmlOptions(); options.getWordsOptions().setShowTrackedChanges(true); // Default value is false // Get pages List pages = htmlHandler.getPages(guid, options); for (PageHtml page : pages) { System.out.println(\u0026#34;Page number: \u0026#34; + page.getPageNumber()); System.out.println(\u0026#34;Html content: \u0026#34; + page.getHtmlContent()); } For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nRendering PDF Document Excluding Annotations When rendering PDF documents, by default, annotations are included in the resultant document. If required, you can tell the API not to include the annotations in the rendering results. Just set getPdfOptions.setDeleteAnnotations of RenderOptions (ImageOptions, HtmlOptions or PdfFileOptions) as _true _and pass it to _getPages or getPdfFile _method of corresponding ViewerHandler (ViewerImageHandler or ViewerHtmlHandler) as shown in the following code snippet.\n// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig(); config.setStoragePath(STORAGE_PATH); // Create HTML handler ViewerHtmlHandler htmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(config); String guid = \u0026#34;DocumentWithAnnotations.pdf\u0026#34;; // Set pdf options to render content without annotations HtmlOptions options = new HtmlOptions(); options.getPdfOptions().setDeleteAnnotations(true); // Default value is false // Get pages List pages = htmlHandler.getPages(guid, options); for (PageHtml page : pages) { System.out.println(\u0026#34;Page number: \u0026#34; + page.getPageNumber()); System.out.println(\u0026#34;Html content: \u0026#34; + page.getHtmlContent()); } For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nAdjusting the Size when Rendering CAD Documents When CAD documents are rendered, the size of the rendering result is adjusted by API automatically depending on the size of the initial document. You may also adjust the size of resulting document by setting height and width as shown in the following code sample.\n// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig(); config.setStoragePath(STORAGE_PATH); // Create image handler ViewerImageHandler imageHandler = new ViewerImageHandler(config); String guid = \u0026#34;document.dwg\u0026#34;; // Set Cad options to render content with a specified size ImageOptions options = new ImageOptions(); options.getCadOptions().setHeight(750); options.getCadOptions().setWidth(450); // Get pages List pages = imageHandler.getPages(guid, options); for (PageImage page : pages) { System.out.println(\u0026#34;Page number: \u0026#34; + page.getPageNumber()); InputStream imageContent = page.getStream(); } For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nRendering Layouts in CAD Documents When CAD documents are rendered, by default, you only get the Model\u0026rsquo;s representation. In order to render Model and all non-empty Layouts within a CAD document, set getCadOptions().setRenderLayouts of ImageOptions and HtmlOptions to true as shown in the following code sample.\n// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig(); config.setStoragePath(STORAGE_PATH); // Create HTML handler ViewerImageHandler imageHandler = new ViewerImageHandler(config); String guid = \u0026#34;document.dwg\u0026#34;; // Set CAD options to render Model and all non empty Layouts ImageOptions options = new ImageOptions(); options.getCadOptions().setRenderLayouts(true); // Get pages List pages = imageHandler.getPages(guid, options); for (PageImage page : pages) { System.out.println(\u0026#34;Page number: \u0026#34; + page.getPageNumber()); InputStream imageContent = page.getStream(); } For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nRendering a Specific Layout in a CAD Document Since version 17.5.0, GroupDocs.Viewer also allows you to render a specific layout in a CAD document. Following code snippet demonstrates how to render a specific layout by providing its name.\n// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig(); config.setStoragePath(STORAGE_PATH); // Create HTML handler ViewerImageHandler imageHandler = new ViewerImageHandler(config); String guid = \u0026#34;document.dwg\u0026#34;; // Set CAD options to render specific Layout ImageOptions options = new ImageOptions(); options.getCadOptions().setLayoutName(\u0026#34;MyFirstLayout\u0026#34;); // Get pages List pages = imageHandler.getPages(guid, options); for (PageImage page : pages) { System.out.println(\u0026#34;Page number: \u0026#34; + page.getPageNumber()); InputStream imageContent = page.getStream(); } For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nEnabling Precise Mode when Rendering PDF Documents When PDF documents are rendered, we get similar representation in image and HTML formats. However, sometimes the result may contain shifted characters, symbols or document objects. To improve rendering results in such cases, we have added pdfOptions.setEnablePreciseRendering property as shown in the following sample code.\n// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig(); config.setStoragePath(STORAGE_PATH); // Create HTML handler ViewerHtmlHandler htmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(config); String guid = \u0026#34;document.pdf\u0026#34;; // Set pdf options to render content in a precise mode HtmlOptions options = new HtmlOptions(); options.getPdfOptions().setEnablePreciseRendering(true); // Default value is false // Get pages List pages = htmlHandler.getPages(guid, options); for (PageHtml page : pages) { System.out.println(\u0026#34;Page number: \u0026#34; + page.getPageNumber()); System.out.println(\u0026#34;Html content: \u0026#34; + page.getHtmlContent()); } For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nRendering Documents with Comments Some document types like Microsoft Word, Excel, OpenOffice Text and Spreadsheet may also contain comments. By default, the comments are not rendered. Since the version 17.5.0, there is a new option, setRenderComments of RenderOptions (ImageOptions or HtmlOptions), that tells the API to include the comments in the output. Currently, this option works for Microsoft Word, Excel, OpenOffice Text and Spreadsheet document types. To learn about the usage of this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nUsing Metered Licensing Since version 17.5.0, you can also set Metered license as an alternative to license file. It is a new licensing mechanism that will be used along with existing licensing method. It is useful for the customers who want to be billed based on the usage of the API features. For more details, please refer to Metered Licensing FAQ section. Following code snippet shows how to set metered public and private keys for licensing.\nMetered metered = new Metered(); // set-up credentials metered.setMeteredKey(\u0026#34;Public_Key\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;Private_Key\u0026#34;); GroupDocs.Viewer for Java API - Bug Fixes Following issues are fixed in the latest version of GroupDocs.Viewer for Java.\nColor filling isn\u0026rsquo;t displayed for some objects Incorrect font color when rendering Excel to HTML Email attachments are not found when setting setUsePDF to true HTMLSaveOptions.DefaultFont setting doesn\u0026rsquo;t work properly Incomplete image when converting a specific DWG file Character\u0026rsquo;s size issue when rendering PDF document into HTML API is rendering PDF document into blank HTML pages Incorrect resource\u0026rsquo;s relative path when rendering to HTML Black background when rendering PPS or PPT to image Issue in setHtmlResourcePrefix when rendering .msg file Issue with underline text when rendering PDF into HTML setIgnoreResourcePrefixForCss is ignored when rendering Word documents Overflow text is not visible when rendering Excel sheet to HTML PDF to HTML fixed layout issue Lines are too thin when rendering PDF as HTML Pdf to HTML space and positioning issues PDF to HTML image color issue getLastModificationDate is not showing last modification date as expected GroupDocs.Viewer for Java latest JAR file lacks few imports Excel file with blank sheets is not rendering to image ImageOptions is not working as expected PPTX/XLSX documents are not rendering into images properly Duplicate pages are generated in cache if API is used in trial mode Image-based rendering issues Style-sheet link is incorrect if HTML is generated without embedded resources Document Rendering API - Improvements We have made following improvements in GroupDocs.Viewer for Java 17.5.0.\nRender one or range of worksheets from large excel file Remove obsolete CountPagesToConvert and PageNumbersToConvert from RenderOptions Remove members marked as obsolete in previous versions Do not set resource prefix when HtmlResourcePrefix is empty string Improve look of comments in API reference documentation CellsOptions.ShowGridLines property does not work when rendering Cells to PDF Extend support for setting JpegQuality when rendering documents as PDF Throw GroupDocsViewerException when file type can\u0026rsquo;t be determined for passed stream Create lower-case name when rendering document from stream CustomCacheHandler is written for S3 Bucket but still uses local disk for cache Pdf rendering to HTML taking a lot of time Add code examples to PdfOptions class documentation comments Add code examples to CellsOptions class documentation comments Add code examples to DiagramOptions class documentation comments Add code examples to EmailOptions class documentation comments Additional Resources Following resources will help you to download, learn, try and get technical support.\nProduct Home – API Home Page Download - JAR Files Documentation – Product Documentation Product Support Forum – Technical Support Forum for GroupDocs.Viewer Examples – Source Code Examples Sample Front End App - Open Source Document Viewer Application Feedback As always, you are welcome to share your feedback to improve this product.

In this release, we have added HTML minification for optimized rendering of documents into HTML. Not only this, we have also introduced rendering of MS Project documents by specifying time intervals. Let’s have a quick overview of some exciting features of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET 17.12.\n.NET Document Rendering API - New Features HTML Minification When you are looking for the ways to optimize the rendering of documents into HTML, one of the solutions you might want to use is the compression of the output content (HTML, CSS, and SVG). This solution is suitable in case you are providing your content from the web server over the internet. GroupDocs.Viewer provides **EnableMinification **property of HtmlOptions class that lets you get output content minified (as shown in below code sample).\n// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig(); config.StoragePath = @\u0026#34;C:\\storage\u0026#34;; // Create HTML handler ViewerHtmlHandler htmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(config); string guid = \u0026#34;document.docx\u0026#34;; HtmlOptions options = new HtmlOptions(); options.EnableMinification = true; List pages = htmlHandler.GetPages(guid, options); foreach (PageHtml page in pages) { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Page number: {0}\u0026#34;, page.PageNumber); Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Html content: {0}\u0026#34;, page.HtmlContent); } Currently, minification is only applied to HTML. However, we are going to provide minification for CSS as well in upcoming versions of the API. For more details, please visit this documentation article.\nRendering MS Project Document with Custom Page Size and Time Unit When you are rendering MS Project documents into image, HTML or PDF, GroupDocs.Viewer API tries to find optimal output size and time unit depending on the project\u0026rsquo;s overall length. In case you need to set your own page size or time unit, you can set ProjectOptions class properties of corresponding **RenderOptions ** (HtmlOptions or ImageOptions) or PdfFileOptions class for rendering into PDF, as shown in the example below.\n// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig(); config.StoragePath = @\u0026#34;C:\\storage\u0026#34;; // Create image handler ViewerImageHandler imageHandler = new ViewerImageHandler(config); string guid = \u0026#34;document.mpp\u0026#34;; // Set Project options to render content with a specified size and time unit. ImageOptions options = new ImageOptions(); options.ProjectOptions.PageSize = PageSize.A2; options.ProjectOptions.TimeUnit = TimeUnit.Days; // Get pages List pages = imageHandler.GetPages(guid, options); foreach (PageImage page in pages) { Console.WriteLine(\u0026#34;Page number: {0}\u0026#34;, page.PageNumber); Stream imageContent = page.Stream; } For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.\nRemoving Cache Files of a Specific Document On the request of our valuable customers, we have added the support of removing cache files for a specific document. Following code sample demonstrates the usage of this feature.\n//Init viewer config ViewerConfig viewerConfig = new ViewerConfig(); viewerConfig.StoragePath = \u0026#34;c:\\\\storage\u0026#34;; // Init viewer image or HTML handler ViewerImageHandler viewerImageHandler = new ViewerImageHandler(viewerConfig); // Set the guid of the document you want to clear. string guid = \u0026#34;document.docx\u0026#34;; //Clear files from cache related to specified document. viewerImageHandler.ClearCache(guid); For more details on clear cache feature, please visit this documentation article.\nSupport of ODG Format Since version 17.12, we have added the support of rendering ODG (OpenDocument Graphics) file format.\nImproved Rendering of JPEG Image as HTML In previous versions of the API, the JPEG image was converted into PNG format ensuring the high quality of the image when it is displayed inside the HTML page. However, it was resulting in the bigger size of the output HTML page. Therefore, we have implemented the feature of rendering JPEG as HTML without converting image format to PNG.\nDocument Viewer API for .NET - Fixes Following issues are fixed in version 17.12 of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET.\n\u0026ldquo;Index was out of range\u0026rdquo; exception when rendering XLSX as PDF Blank output when rendering PDF document as HTML CAD document layouts with the size different than model are not rendered correctly Alignment of radio button text and checkbox text is not proper Related Links and Resources We have a few channels and resources for you to download, learn, try and get technical support on document viewer API.\nDownload - MSI Package and Zipped DLLs NuGet Package - NuGet Installation Documentation - Product Docs Forum - Technical Support Forum Video Tutorials - YouTube Videos Example / Plugins - Github Source Code Examples Sample Front End Apps - Open Source Document Viewer Applications Feedback As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write on our forum.\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/viewer/introducing-html-minification-in-groupdocs.viewer-for-.net-17.12/","summary":"We are back with another version of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET.

Following code sample demonstrates its usage.\n// Implementing comparer public class Comparer : IComparer { public int Compare(DocumentResultInfo x, DocumentResultInfo y) { // Compare y and x in reverse order return y.Relevance.CompareTo(x.Relevance); } } ... string indexFolder = @\u0026#34;c:\\MyIndex\u0026#34;; string documentsFolder = @\u0026#34;c:\\MyDocuments\u0026#34;; // Creating index Index index = new Index(indexFolder); // Indexing index.AddToIndex(documentsFolder); // Creating search parameters object SearchParameters searchParameters = new SearchParameters(); // Enabling fuzzy search searchParameters.FuzzySearch.Enabled = true; // Setting maximum mistake count to 1 searchParameters.FuzzySearch.FuzzyAlgorithm = new TableDiscreteFunction(1); // Searching for term \u0026#39;database\u0026#39; // Using fuzzy search allows to find the plural form of the term \u0026#39;databases\u0026#39; SearchResults searchResults = index.Search(\u0026#34;database\u0026#34;, searchParameters); // Creating and filling array for sorting DocumentResultInfo[] array = new DocumentResultInfo[searchResults.Count]; for (int i = 0; i \u0026lt; array.Length; i++) { array[i] = searchResults[i]; } // Sorting results in array by relevance in descending order Array.Sort(array, new Comparer()); Improved representation of results of exact phrase search This enhancement is implemented to store the results of exact phrase search in a more structured and convenient form. Following code sample shows the usage of this feature.\nstring indexFolder = @\u0026#34;c:\\MyIndex\u0026#34;; string documentsFolder = @\u0026#34;c:\\MyDocuments\u0026#34;; // Creating index Index index = new Index(indexFolder); // Indexing index.AddToIndex(documentsFolder); // Creating search parameters object SearchParameters searchParameters = new SearchParameters(); // Enabling fuzzy search searchParameters.FuzzySearch.Enabled = true; // Setting maximum mistake count to 1 searchParameters.FuzzySearch.FuzzyAlgorithm = new TableDiscreteFunction(1); // Searching for phrase \u0026#39;cumulative distribution function\u0026#39; or phrase \u0026#39;cumulative density function\u0026#39; SearchResults searchResults = index.Search(\u0026#34;\\\u0026#34;cumulative distribution function\\\u0026#34; OR \\\u0026#34;cumulative density function\\\u0026#34;\u0026#34;, searchParameters); // Displaying results foreach (DocumentResultInfo document in searchResults) { Console.WriteLine(document.FileName); foreach (DetailedResultInfo field in document.DetailedResults) { Console.WriteLine(field.FieldName); foreach (string[] phrase in field.TermSequences) { Console.Write(\u0026#34;\\t\u0026#34;); foreach (string word in phrase) { Console.Write(word + \u0026#34; \u0026#34;); } Console.WriteLine(); } } } // The results may contain the following phrases: // cumulative distribution function // cumulative distribution functions // cumulative density function // cumulative density functions Improved search query syntax The syntax of the search query language has been redesigned to make it more understandable and conventional.

Furthermore, settings to hide/show hidden pages have been extended for Microsoft PowerPoint documents. Please continue to read more about the latest version.\nRender STL and IFC File FormatsFrom version 17.10, GroupDocs.Viewer supports rendering of STL and IFC file formats. For more details on supported file formats, please visit this documentation article. Rendering Hidden Sheets, Slides or PagesMicrosoft Excel, PowerPoint and Visio documents may contain hidden pages (slides or sheets). By default, hidden pages are not rendered. In order to include them into the rendering, set ShowHiddenPages property of the RenderOptions (ImageOptions or HtmlOptions) class as true. This new setting has replaced obsolete CellsOptions.ShowHiddenSheets and DiagramOptions.ShowHiddenPages properties in RenderOptions class. For more details on rendering hidden pages, please visit this documentation article. Rendering Worksheets by Dividing into PagesBy default, GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET renders the whole Excel sheet into a single HTML/image page or into a single page of the PDF document. However, the API also allows dividing large Excel sheets into multiple pages. From version 17.10, this feature is supported for rendering the document as PDF and as image with enabled text extraction. For more details, please visit this documentation article. Improved Document Rendering from Stream into HTMLIn earlier versions, when we render document from the stream and do not provide document name, API has been suppressing saving resources separately and embedding resources into HTML regardless of IsResourcesEmbedded setting. Since the version 17.10, when document name is not provided, API tries to generate document name from the stream. When that stream is rendered again, API will generate the same name. However, try to avoid not passing document name in cases when document name is known because API does not guarantee that document type will be detected and that document name will be unique for the stream (as in some cases, API may generate the same name for two different streams). .NET Document Viewer API - FixesFollowing are the issues that are fixed in version 17.10. Gray rectangles instead of image parts Empty space between text is lost when rendering email documents The parameter \u0026lsquo;address\u0026rsquo; cannot be an empty string exception when rendering MSG document Some rows/records are missing when rendering Excel document to HTML Parameter is not valid exception when rendering Excel document to image The output image gets cut when rendering PowerPoint presentation All pages are same when rendering Microsoft Project document into an image Incorrect rendering of PDF document into HTML Exception when rendering CAD file into image Related Links and ResourcesWe have a few channels and resources for you to download, learn, try and get technical support on document viewer API.

As a result, the large organizations may have maintained servers to store their organizational data in the form of files located in different directories. Very often, these organization may need to apply some filters to get files of a specific type i-e *.docx or *.txt etc. Filtering through a huge number files is not an easy job for the human beings and they might think if there is some automated system to achieve this. Of course, there is! We are happy to release such a business case example using GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET. Let\u0026rsquo;s see the available options and then how to do the same with GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET.\nFiltering Files using .NET ClassesThere are in-box solutions using System.IO.Directory or System.IO.DirectoryInfo classes in .NET Framework. Next code samples demonstrate how to get JPEG images in a specific directory. SolutionsUsing Directory.GetFiles: string\\[\\] files = Directory.GetFiles(@\u0026#34;C:\\\\download files\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;\\*.jpeg\u0026#34;); Using DirectoryInfo.GetFiles:\nDirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(@\u0026#34;C:\\\\download files\u0026#34;); string\\[\\] files = dirInfo.GetFiles(\u0026#34;\\*.jpeg\u0026#34;); Disadvantage The disadvantage of these approaches is that we are getting the file by extension and not by signature. Also, file type could have more than one extension and multiple filters could not be applied.\nFiltering files using GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET provides a smooth way to filter the files of a specific file type by their signatures. Let\u0026rsquo;s see how can we perform this filtering.\nSolutions 1. Using DocumentTypeDetector Static Class\n// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/groupdocs-metadata/GroupDocs.Metadata-for-.NET public static class DocumentTypeDetector { /// \u0026lt;summary\u0026gt; /// Gets and returns document type of the file /// \u0026lt;/summary\u0026gt; /// \u0026lt;param name=\u0026#34;path\u0026#34;\u0026gt;File Path\u0026lt;/param\u0026gt; /// \u0026lt;returns\u0026gt;Document Type\u0026lt;/returns\u0026gt; public static DocumentType GetDocumentType(string path) { using (FileFormatChecker fileFormatChecker = new FileFormatChecker(path)) { return fileFormatChecker.GetDocumentType(); } } /// \u0026lt;summary\u0026gt; /// Gets and returns files of a specific document type /// \u0026lt;/summary\u0026gt; /// \u0026lt;param name=\u0026#34;directory\u0026#34;\u0026gt;Directory Path\u0026lt;/param\u0026gt; /// \u0026lt;param name=\u0026#34;documentType\u0026#34;\u0026gt;Document Type\u0026lt;/param\u0026gt; /// \u0026lt;returns\u0026gt;String array containing file paths\u0026lt;/returns\u0026gt; public static string\\[\\] GetFiles(string directory, DocumentType documentType) { // get all files using Directory.GetFiles approach string\\[\\] files = Directory.GetFiles(directory, \u0026#34;\\*.\\*\u0026#34;); // return empty array if directory is empty if (files.Length == 0) { return new string\\[0\\]; } List\u0026lt;string\u0026gt; result = new List\u0026lt;string\u0026gt;(); foreach (string path in files) { using (FileFormatChecker fileFormatChecker = new FileFormatChecker(path)) { if (fileFormatChecker.VerifyFormat(documentType)) { result.Add(path); } } } return result.ToArray(); } } 2.

And for an extra layer of security, you can add watermarks to protect the documents against screen-grabbing.\nIf you are interested in integrating GroupDocs.Viewer into your Moodle environment, there are three deployment options available for your choice. The first is a SaaS deployment based on the cloud version of the viewer. It offers an easy deployment process but requires your documents to be stored and hosted on GroupDocs servers. To guarantee the security and privacy of your content, we use Amazon EC2 infrastructure and SSL encrypted connections. We also developed a plugin for the cloud version, which makes the integration process a breeze.\nFor customers who prefer to keep documents in-house, we offer downloadable .NET and Java libraries for on-premises deployment. These versions are also supported by plugins for seamless integration into Moodle. Today we are happy to inform that all plugins were approved by Moodle admins and can be downloaded from the official Moodle marketplace:\nGroupDocs.Viewer .NET plugin for Moodle\nGroupDocs.Viewer Java plugin for Moodle\nGroupDocs.Viewer Cloud plugin for Moodle\nIf you have any questions about GroupDocs.Viewer, or need help with deployment, please do not hesitate to contact us and make an inquiry via our support forum.\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/viewer/groupdocs-viewer-plugin-one-leading-learning-platforms-moodle/","summary":"Moodle is a powerful learning management system that provides educators and learners with a robust set of tools for building and administrating collaborative learning environments.

In short, InstanceID allows you to configure several simultaneous instances of GroupDocs.Viewer associated with different independent root storage paths. Since that time, we’ve received a lot of feedback on the feature and this time would like to clarify how you can benefit from InstqanceID and how to configure it correctly in more details. Those of you who are familiar with GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET probably already know that in order to configure the viewer, a root storage path must be specified via the Groupdocs.Web.UI.Viewer.SetRootStoragePath method. The files you want to display to end users must be placed within the root storage path or its subfolders. All temporary files along with log files are also stored in dedicated subfolders within the root storage folder. Now, there is a File Explorer option available for end users via the viewer’s widget. When enabled, this option allows users to browse through the local file storage, select documents and view them using the viewer. The file storage can be the root storage folder and its subfolders. In other words, when the File Explorer option is enabled, end users can potentially browse through the entire root storage folder and access all files, including temporary and log files, via the viewer. And here is where the problem arises. There may be cases when end users need to be able to browse through and select documents on their own, but their access rights must be restricted to a specific folder. Or, for example, there may be several different user groups each having access to different files storages. This is where InstanceID can be of great help. It allows you to configure multiple simultaneous root storage folders, absolutely independent one from another, and then assign them to different users or user groups. Recently we’ve prepared a detailed guide on how to configure and use InstanceID properly and are welcoming everyone who is interested in this feature to read it here.\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/viewer/instanceid-using-multiple-simultaneous-instances-groupdocs-viewer-net/","summary":"Two months ago we presented a new feature called InstanceID in GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET for the first time.

Today we’d like to write about these features in more detail to help you quickly set up and get the most out of them. Let’s start with the caching enhancement. As you may already know, GroupDocs .Viewer for .NET allows you to configure caching for displayed documents. When enabled, the viewer doesn’t have to convert original documents stored on the server to HTML-compatible content each time the documents are requested. Instead, documents are converted only during the first view request and then added to the cache. For all subsequent requests of the same documents, they are loaded from the cache, which significantly reduces load time. This caching feature, however, was unavailable for PDF copies of original documents. So, when using features like .UsePdfPrinting(true) and .DownloadPdfFileIfPossible(true), the viewer had to convert original documents to the PDF format repeatedly for each new request. This was the case until the version 2.13.0. In the latest release of the GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET, you can now configure caching for PDF copies as well. What is important, the viewer is able to identify whether any changes to the displayed documents has been made (e.g. added watermarks, rotated or re-ordered pages, etc.) and if yes, refreshes the cache with the updated PDF copies, so that you can be sure that end users always get access only to the latest versions of the documents. This new caching feature can also be used ahead-of-time. In other words, you can configure GroupDocs.Viewer to add PDF copies of original files to cache even before they were actually requested by end users. For doing so, just use a new method – GeneratePdfVersion – within the DocumentCache class. The GeneratePdfVersion method obtains only one mandatory parameter – document’s name, then converts the document to the PDF format and saves it inside the cache folder. The method also has optional parameters which allow you to burn watermarks into PDF copies of original files. Please be cautious when configuring watermarks for different versions of a document. If you pre-generate a PDF copy of a document with watermarks and then specify the same document in the widget without the watermarks (or with some other watermarks), a discrepancy will occur, since watermarks specified for the \u0026ldquo;standard\u0026rdquo; document will vary from those specified for the PDF-version of the document.\nUsing Multiple Independent Root Storage Paths Another remarkable improvement we’ve implemented in this version is the ability to use the viewer with an unlimited number of different independent root storage paths. Here is how this works. The default root storage path, which is configured via the Viewer.SetRootStoragePath method, remains obligatory. However, you can now set up additional paths using the InstanceID identifier. For example:\nGroupdocs.Web.UI.Viewer.SetRootStoragePath(Server.MapPath(\u0026quot;~/App_Data/\u0026quot;)); - the default mandatory initialization. Groupdocs.Web.UI.Viewer.SetRootStoragePath(Server.MapPath(\u0026quot;~/OtherFiles/\u0026quot;), null, \u0026quot;myInstanceIdN1\u0026quot;); - an additional root storage path (the OtherFiles folder), linked to the myInstanceIdN1 identifier. Now, to load documents from the second root storage path (the OtherFiles folder), simply set the .ViewerInstanceId(\u0026ldquo;myInstanceIdN1\u0026rdquo;) method in the ClientHelper. This way you can configure as many independent root storage paths, as you need. That’s it!

Watermarking allows you to protect documents that you display on the web from screen-grabbing. In GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET watermarks are implemented as customizable text that can be added over a displayed document, overlapping its content. For the first time the ability to add watermarks was implemented in GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET version 2.0. In its first implementation, the feature had a number of restrictions. In particular, watermarks could be used only in the image-based rendering mode and the only customization option was the ability to specify a text color. Since that time, a lot of new parameters have been added and, importantly, the watermarking feature is now available in the HTML-based rendering mode too. In this article I’d like to discover all new parameters of the watermarking feature we’ve added since its first implementation. But before we proceed with the parameters, I’d like to clarify several basic principles about how watermarks are rendered in GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET: 1. When adding watermarks, GroupDocs.Viewer doesn’t modify your original documents on the server. Instead, watermarks are rendered only on the client-side (over the document displayed in the GroupDocs.Viewer widget). So, be sure to disable the print and download options of your original files, or otherwise, end users will be able to get your documents without any watermarks. Alternatively, you can let users download and print PDF versions of the original files with watermarks burned in. More details about this option later in this article. 2. Watermarks are added to every page across the document. So far, you can’t add watermarks to specific pages only, or place different watermarks on different pages. 3. Watermarks, along with page rotation and reordering, are treated as one of the document modification features - they change representation of the document. But, unlike the page rotation and reordering options, watermark settings are not accessible from the client-side (GroupDocs.Viewer widget) and can’t be disabled or modified by viewers via the toolbar. We’re now ready to explore all parameters of the watermarking feature available to date. Let’s start with the method signature:\npublic ClientHelper Watermark( string watermarkText, Color? watermarkColor = new Color?(), WatermarkPosition watermarkPosition = 0, float watermarkWidthInPercents = 0f, bool printWithWatermark = false ) As you can see, the only mandatory parameter is watermarkText (you can’t add a textual watermark without actually specifying a text to display). All other parameters are optional, have default values and can be omitted. Now, let’s take a closer look at them: The watermarkColor parameter allows you to specify the color of the watermark text. The default color is red. You need to add a reference to the System.Drawing.dll assembly for your project in order to be able to use the System.Drawing.Color class. The watermarkPosition parameter in an enumeration which specifies a start position of the watermark. It allows you to specify the following values: Diagonal, TopLeft, TopCenter, TopRight, BottomLeft, BottomCenter and BottomRight. The default value - Diagonal – places text across the page starting from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. The watermarkWidthInPercents parameter requires a bit more clarification. By default, when this parameter is omitted, GroupDocs.Viewer tries to stretch the watermark text, making it as large as possible to match the page size. This default maximum size is treated as a 100% size. With this parameter you can decrease the watermark size, making the text smaller. The default value is \u0026ldquo;0\u0026rdquo; which equals 100%. A range from 1 to 99 (with support for fractional numbers) allows you to adjust the text size quite precisely. The printWithWatermark is the most interesting in this series. As you may already know, GroupDocs.Viewer can generate a PDF-version of the original document when users try to print (.UsePdfPrinting(true)) or download (.DownloadPdfFileIfPossible(true)) the displayed document. With the printWithWatermark parameter set to true, watermarks will be burned into the PDF copies of the original documents that end users print or download. This allows you to share any document in the PDF format, protected with your custom watermarks. That’s it. Hope the article answers all the questions you had about watermarking in GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET.

There are tens of different open source projects across the web that offer a quick and free solution to display PDF documents in both ASP.NET MVC and Web Forms. Often a simple implementation of a PDF viewer is all you actually need. But things become a lot more complicated when the viewer needs to meet your customer’s business requirements. The most common are:\n1. Security. This obvious business demand creates great challenges for developers when implementing a PDF viewer. Businesses demand uncompromised security for their confidential documents. You need to prevent any access to source PDFs from the client-side and limit or totally restrict viewers from being able to download, print or copy the shared PDF documents.\n2. Cross-Platform Compatibility. Businesses require being able to share PDFs with customers, partners and team members without worrying about whether they have the software needed to open the documents. Hence, you need to be sure that end users can access and view the shared PDF documents from any web-enabled device and regardless of the browser used.\n3. Usability. Finally, businesses want to have tools delivered by standard office software, such as Adobe Reader, to be able to seamlessly browse and collaborate on PDF documents from a web-browser.\nIf you’ve been looking for an ASP.NET PDF viewer that meets all the mentioned requirements, you may be interested to try out this C# demo which is built based on the GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET library. The demo helps you quickly setup, configure and explore key features and functionality of the out-of-the-box PDF viewer for ASP.NET.\nBefore proceeding, I’d like to clarify that the GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET is a commercial library and is not free or open source. The C# demo includes a free evaluation copy of the library that has several functional restrictions. However, I’d strongly encourage you to contact GroupDocs support for a free 30-day license to be able to test the ASP.NET PDF viewer without any restrictions.\nSo, here we go. First, let’s look into how the library works:\nBack-End GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET is a downloadable library (DLL) that allows you to display different types of documents (including PDF) on the web. What makes it stand out from other web-based PDF viewers is its client-server (or “thin client”) architecture.\nUnlike client-based viewers, GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET doesn’t download source PDFs to end user machines. Instead, the library converts original documents stored on the server into a set of HTML markup, CSS and images. Once converted, a web-compatible copy of the PDF document is streamed to clients and rendered in web-browsers just like a regular web-page. Web copies look exactly like the original PDFs. Layouts are retained and fonts are sharp.\nSuch “thin client” architecture allows you to build an ASP.NET PDF viewer that meets both of the two core business requirements – security and cross-platform compatibility. End users can view PDF documents using a standard web-browser and without having to install Adobe Reader, Flash or any other plugins. For sure, PDF documents can be properly displayed in Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari5+, Opera and, what is important, in commonly used by large organizations – Internet Explorer 8+.\nThe original PDF files are not downloaded to user machines during view sessions, but stay secure on your server and behind your firewalls. Combined with the in-built Digital Rights Management (DRM) features, this allows businesses to share PDF documents in a “read-only” mode. DRM controls all document copy options available in a web-browser, including downloading, printing and text copy/pasting. It allows users to decide on their own which PDFs to share in the “read-only” mode and which – with full access rights.\nWhen displaying PDF documents in a web-browser there is another potential security flaw, called “Print Screen”. This is where even DRM won’t help. To deal with the issue, we’ve implemented a capability to add watermarks over the displayed PDF documents. The watermarks are only rendered as a separate layer on top of the displayed documents, so that your original PDFs are not altered.\nNow, what about usability?\nFront-End GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET comes with an out-of-the-box GUI which can be seamlessly white-labeled and integrated into any ASP.NET site. The GUI provides end users with tools needed for convenient viewing and navigation of PDF documents in a browser. Our sample PDF viewer for ASP.NET provides all the most commonly used UI controls available in native Adobe Reader’s plugin, including:\nScroll view, one page in a row, two pages in a row view, double page flipping Page rotation and zooming Page thumbnails Text selection and copying to the clipboard Text search with different match types Document downloading and printing The GUI can be seamlessly customized and embedded straight to your ASP.NET site. Alternatively, you can build your own GUI from scratch to meet your customer’s requirements.\nBut enough with words – let’s take a look how this works. Below is an example of how your ASP.NET PDF viewer built based on the GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET library may look:\nRequirements Being a “thin client” solution, GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET doesn’t require any downloads or installations on the client side. End users can view PDF documents from any standard web-browser, including IE8+, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari5+ and their mobile versions. To deploy and properly configure the sample on the server, you will need a .NET Framework version 4.0+ and a “.NET-compatible” web-server: IIS, IIS Express or ASP.NET Development Server (Cassini). The viewer works with both ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC version 3+ frameworks. Running the Sample To help you setup and run the ASP.NET PDF viewer quickly, we’ve prepared a quick start guide.

In this post I’d like to discover some of the most remarkable updates implemented in this latest version:\nNew Page Layout OptionsSo far, when viewing documents, you had the following page layout options: Scroll view – pages are placed in a continuous chain, one after another. One page in a row – one page fit to client’s screen. No page turn animation. Double page flip – two adjacent pages fit to client’s screen, plus flipping page animation (available in the image-based rendering mode only). Starting with this new version, you have a choice between two more options:\nTwo pages in a row - two adjacent pages fit to client’s screen. No flipping page animation. This layout is available in both the images-based and the HTML-based rendering modes. This layout is especially useful when viewing documents on a widescreen display, as it allows users to cover unused screen space appearing when viewing documents with the scroll view or one page in a row layout. One more layout added in this release is actually a modification of the above one – a cover and then two pages in a row. This is useful when reading books, as the cover page can be placed apart from the subsequent adjacent pages. All the options can be configured by end users on their own, straight from the viewer’s GUI. You can also set a default layout using the Layout method from the GroupDocs.Viewer widget. This method accepts a Groupdocs.Web.UI.ViewerMode enumeration, which has the following values: ScrollView, DoublePageFlip, OnePageInRow, TwoPagesInRow, CoverThenTwoPagesInRow.\nItalian LocalizationThe geography of clients using the viewer grows rapidly. This time we have good news for our customers from Italy – an Italian GUI localization has been finally added in this build. The following are all GUI localizations currently available: ar-AE - Arabic (U.A.E.) en-US - American English, the default es-ES - Spanish it-IT - Italian (Standard) nb-NO - Norwegian pl-PL - Polish pt-PT - Portuguese ru-RU – Russian The default localization is en-US. You can change it to any other from the list above by using the Locale method from the GroupDocs.Viewer widget. There are two overloads of this method: the first one accepts the needed locale as a string code, while the second one accepts an enumeration value. They are completely equal, so you can use any of them.\nVirtual ScrollingThe new virtual scrolling feature improves page scrolling speed in client browsers. This is useful when displaying large documents of more than 1k pages. When enabled, the viewer streams to the DOM tree only the pages that are currently visible in the browser. New pages are added to the DOM only when the document is actually scrolled to those exact pages. This way, instead of rendering all document pages, the viewer needs to handle only a few pages at a time. An accompanying effect of this feature is the ability to get rid of the \u0026ldquo;Script hanging\u0026rdquo; message, which occasionally appears when opening or closing large documents (\u0026gt;1k pages). The message was caused by the JavaScript code used to render wrappers for each individual page within a document, or when deleting the wrappers upon switching to another document. To enable the virtual scrolling feature, you should apply the true Boolean value for the UseVirtualScrolling method in the GroupDocs.Viewer widget. When set to false, the virtual scrolling feature is off. Faster Word Documents RenderingA new parameter has been added – embedImagesIntoHtmlForWordFiles – to the UseHtmlBasedEngine method. When set to true, it forces the viewer to convert documents to HTML with SVG or raster images embedded straight into the HTML markup as Base64. Otherwise, images are stored as external files. Embedding images into the HTML markup significantly increases browsers’ rendering speed of Word documents that have a lot of images in them. Naturally, this parameter is available only in the HTML-based rendering mode. Share Documents with WatermarksNow you can let viewers to print or download a PDF copy of the original documents you share, along with watermarks burned in. This is useful when you want to prevent users from copying your content, while still need to share it with others. When enabled, viewers can print or download only a PDF copy of your original document with your custom watermarks in them. While viewers get a PDF copy with watermarks, your original documents stored on the server stay intact. In order to enable this feature, you should apply watermarks, using the Watermark method from the GroupDocs.Viewer widget, and set the true value for the last parameter - printWithWatermark. Please note that this feature is disabled by default! You need to set it explicitly. Other Enhancements Added an XML documentation file (called Groupdocs.Viewer.XML) into installers to enable IntelliSense in Visual Studio. A new SupportListOfContentControls option added.

We encountered this issue while developing a plugin that allows you to integrate the GroupDocs.Annotation for .NET library into SharePoint. Overall, the issue is quite strange, as it is not reported in the stack trace or logs. Googling it didn’t give us any valuable details either. After several hours of investigation, we found out that the issue appeared due to the SharePoint server got \u0026ldquo;frightened and faints\u0026rdquo; just because it saw the \u0026ldquo;~\u0026rdquo; symbol in the path (for example: Server.Mappath(\u0026quot;~/testFolder/page.aspx\u0026quot;)). To resolve the issue, we should teach SharePoint how to work with this symbol. For doing so, we’ll create a custom handler that will override SharePoint’s common path handler. First, we need to create a custom http module that can be deployed to SharePoint:\nOpen your VisualStudio 2012 as administrator. Create an empty SharePoint project. Create a new class with the following code: internal sealed class GdVirtualPathProvider : VirtualPathProvider { public override string CombineVirtualPaths(string basePath, string relativePath) { return Previous.CombineVirtualPaths(basePath, relativePath); } public override string GetCacheKey(string virtualPath) { return Previous.GetCacheKey(virtualPath); } public override VirtualDirectory GetDirectory(string virtualDir) { return Previous.GetDirectory(virtualDir); } public override VirtualFile GetFile(string virtualPath) { return Previous.GetFile(virtualPath); } public override string GetFileHash (string virtualPath, System.Collections.IEnumerable virtualPathDependencies) { return Previous.GetFileHash(virtualPath, virtualPathDependencies); } public override bool FileExists(string virtualPath) { // This is a workaround for System.Web.WebPages // module initialization checking for precompiledapp which will // not work with SPVirtualPathProvider if (virtualPath.ToLower().EndsWith(\u0026#34;precompiledapp.config\u0026#34;)) return false; return Previous.FileExists(virtualPath); } public override System.Web.Caching.CacheDependency GetCacheDependency (string virtualPath, System.Collections.IEnumerable virtualPathDependencies, System.DateTime utcStart) { if (virtualPath.ToLower().StartsWith(\u0026#34;~/\\_appstart.\u0026#34;)) virtualPath = virtualPath.TrimStart(\u0026#39;~\u0026#39;); return Previous.GetCacheDependency(virtualPath, virtualPathDependencies, utcStart); } public override bool DirectoryExists(string virtualDir) { try { return Previous.DirectoryExists(virtualDir); } catch (Exception e) { return false; } } } Register this GDPathProvider in the HostingEnvironment via the custom HttpModule: internal sealed class GdHttpModule : IHttpModule { private static bool GdVirtualPathProviderInitialized = false; private static object \\_lock = new object(); public void Init(HttpApplication context) { if (GdVirtualPathProviderInitialized) return; lock (\\_lock) { var GdVirtualPathProvider = new GdVirtualPathProvider(); HostingEnvironment.RegisterVirtualPathProvider(GdVirtualPathProvider); GdVirtualPathProviderInitialized = true; } } public void Dispose() { } } In order to add the GdHttpModule to the application pipeline, we used the PreApplicationStartMethod assembly attribute that allows us to register the module via DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule when the application starts: public static class PreApplicationStartCode { public static void Start() { DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule(typeof(GdHttpModule)); } } Finally, add this assembly to the web.config assemblies: Done!

With GroupDocs.Assembly, you can generate any type of document that requires custom data input. These could be invoices, NDAs, sales quotes, employment letters, reports, etc. The library supports Microsoft Word, Excel and PDF templates, and allows you to save the final, assembled documents in either of these formats. Just like all GroupDocs libraries, GroupDocs.Assembly for .NET is designed as a middleware that can be seamlessly integrated into any application, ECM, CMS and document management workflow. Thanks to the open API for all its operations, you can easily implement custom workflows tailored to your specific needs. From the end-user POV, the process of generating custom documents or reports consists of the following steps: 1. Create a template. Users can use existing templates in a PDF, Word (DOC/DOCX) or Excel (XLS/XLSX) format; create new templates with merge fields using any available office software, like Microsoft Word; or create templates using the GroupDocs.Assembly’s in-built template builder. 2. Connect the template to a data source. A data source can be either a DB, or an online questionnaire (a web-form). 3. Choose an output format and get completed documents that look like the initial templates, but incorporate custom data obtained from the adjusted source. For each completed questionnaire GroupDocs.Assembly generates a new unique document. As a result, your users save tons of time that they would otherwise spend on manual template filling. Reflecting the steps required to generate documents, the GroupDocs.Assemly for .NET library consists of three components: the Template Editor, Questionnaire Builder and Questionnaire Executor.\nTemplate EditorThis component comes in handy for turning a document into a template or editing an existing template. The template builder allows users to add or edit different types of input fields (such as text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons and list boxes) within Word and PDF documents. Once the template is ready, it can be connected to a DB or an online questionnaire, as well as saved for reuse. The Template Editor eliminates the need for use of any 3rd party office software, such as Microsoft Office, in the document assembly process. Still it supports native Word and PDF fields, allowing users to prepare document templates using whatever software they prefer. Questionnaire BuilderThe questionnaire builder allows you to set default values, response length, hints, conditional logic and other metadata for each input field (merge field) within the corresponding template. The rules and values for template fields can be set via the API, or the UI that comes with the library. The questionnaire builder also allows you, or your end-users, to build online questionnaires (web-forms) associated with the templates. The questionnaires can be easily published on a stand-alone HTML page or integrated into an existing page. Basically, a questionnaire is an online form implemented as a wizard that guides respondents though the form filling process by using the rules you’ve set in the builder (field order, response length, etc.). Questionnaire ExecutorThis is the core part of the library. It merges data with templates and generates the final completed documents. You can use GroupDocs.Assembly’s API to fill templates with data obtained from a DB, file, remote storage, or user input through the online questionnaires. Web UIAs already mentioned, the library also comes with an out-of-the-box web UI that can be integrated into any ASP.NET app. The wizard-like UI guides end-users through the entire document generation process and provides all the necessary tools for building templates and online questionnaires, publishing questionnaires on the web and managing completed documents. When integrated and configured, the UI provides hands-off document generation functionality, allowing your users to assemble documents without any help from admins or developers. The GroupDocs.Assembly’s flexible API allows you to build custom document generation workflows without any hassle. You can use both the API and UI wizards on every document generation stage.

GroupDocs.Viewer for Java is a lightweight document viewer library that supports more than 50 file formats, including Microsoft Office documents, PDFs, images, OpenDocument files, emails and others. Initially, the library was geared towards integration into web apps and websites. Starting from this release, we overcame the boundaries of the “web” prefix and made the viewer available for any type of applications, including desktop and mobile ones! As well as this change, we improved the core engine and the web UI that comes with the library. Check all the new stuff in detail below:\nOpen API This is probably the most remarkable feature in this release. With an open API for the user interface, you can now build custom applications based on the viewer, irrespective of the platform you work with. In other words, GroupDocs.Viewer for Java can now be smoothly integrated into any web, mobile or desktop app. The new methods don’t require HTTP requests and responses. They are enclosed in the ViewerHandler and you can use them to manage the document view:\ngetImageUrls(Image image) – Get thumbnails and other image files getPrintableHtml(PrintDocument doc) – Get the print document in HTML loadFileBrowserTreeData(FileBrowserTreeData treeData) – Load a tree of files from the base directory viewDocument(ViewDocument viewDocument) – Generate a list of images/pages Cache Control To help you better maintain your project’s storage space limitations, we’ve implemented the cache size control feature which allows you to set the upper boundary of the cache volume. GroupDocs.Viewer for Java maintains this by removing the oldest data from cache when its size grows beyond the limit. This can be configured with the following method:\nLong com.groupdocs.viewer.config.IBackEndConfiguration.getMaxCacheSize() GroupDocs.Viewer for Java uses it to get the cache size limit in megabytes.\nMicrosoft Azure Storage Support In this release we also implemented an out-of-the-box connector for the Microsoft Azure storage provider. It is represented as a custom input data handler:\ncom.groupdocs.viewer.handlers.input.AzureInputDataHandler You can use it as any other custom InputDataHandler. Initialize the AzureInputDataHandler instance with the Azure account credentials and GroupDocs.Viewer configuration:\npublic AzureInputDataHandler(String accountName, String accoutnKey, ServiceConfiguration config) Then apply it to the ViewerHandler on the initialization stage:\npublic ViewerHandler(ServiceConfiguration config, InputDataHandler inputDataHandler) Or you can set it later in the application using the InputDataHandler\u0026rsquo;s static method:\npublic static void setInputDataHandler(InputDataHandler inputDataHandler) Page Preloading By default, GroupDocs.Viewer for Java loads only pages that a user is currently viewing. All subsequent pages of the document are retrieved only when the user scrolls down to them. This behavior is called “lazy-loading” and aims to meet bandwidth limitations. In this release we’ve added the possibility to specify the number of pages that should be preloaded, so that when a user navigates to them they are quickly retrieved from the cache. You can now set pages to be fully loaded on the front-end at the start before they even appear in the viewport.\npublic Boolean isPreloadPagesOnBrowserSide() The number of pre-loaded pages is controlled with the same method as for the background caching:\npublic Integer getPreloadPagesCount() Tabbed Rendering of Excel Spreadsheets Microsoft Excel, ODS and other documents that have several sheets are now rendered with tab controls that allow end users to quickly switch between spreadsheets, just like in native applications.\nNew Localizations The UI is now available in English, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Furthermore, the localization functionality is fully adapted to the UTF-8 standard, to make it easy to customize the UI with any additional languages.

For example, you can check if an avatar is already set, and if not, load one:\nif (annotationHandler().getUserAvatar(userGuid) == null){ FileInputStream avatarStream = new FileInputStream(new File(\u0026#34;E:\\\\\\\\Images\\\\\\\\smile.jpeg\u0026#34;)); byte\\[\\] bytes = new byte\\[avatarStream.available()\\]; IOUtils.readFully(avatarStream, bytes); Utils.closeStreams(avatarStream); annotationHandler().setUserAvatar(userGuid, bytes); } Save Annotations in a DB In this release we’ve added the capability to configure how you store annotation metadata. The ORMLite persistence framework is now used to support a huge variety of storage providers. You can still use good old local file storage but if you need more consistency you can now easily integrate GroupDocs.Annotation with your application’s database, be it a MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or other supported DB. For more detail on this feature, please see this page.\nNew Annotation Objects GroupDocs.Annotation for Java version 1.6.0 has two new annotation tools:\nRuler - allows users to measure the distance between specified points in pixels. Underline tool - allows users to underline selected text. Besides, we’ve improved support for native PDF and Word annotations and added the capability to export annotated Word documents to a final .doc/.docx file with the Word’s “Track Changes” feature active.\nPrint Preview One more enhancement that you may be interested in is the ability to generate a document print preview when users try to print the annotated document. The print preview displays documents with annotations added. To see a full list of changes and download the GroupDocs.Annotation for Java library version 1.6.0, please visit our download archive.

The Java PDF viewer provides cross-platform compatibility, allowing end users to view PDF documents from any web-enabled device, including mobiles and tablets. The viewer works with all modern browsers: IE8+, Chrome, FireFox, Safari 5+, Opera and their mobile versions. There is no need to install anything on the client side. Users can view PDFs without having to install Adobe Acrobat Reader.\nFast \u0026amp; Clear PDF RenderingDepending on the chosen rendering mode, the viewer rasterizes PDFs to images or converts them to pure HTML+CSS+SVG. When rasterizing documents, the library extracts text and renders it on a separate layer on top of background images. As a result, both modes provide high-fidelity font rendering - texts look sharp regardless of the zoom factor. The Java PDF viewer library can load remote documents via URLs, from streams and files located on your storage. To load documents faster, the library cashes PDFs on the server side when they are loaded (viewed by a user) for the first time. There is also an AOT (ahead-of-time) caching option that allows you to force the library to add any specified PDF to cache before it has even been displayed to users. Convenient User InterfaceWe’ve packaged our Java PDF viewer with an out-of-the-box web UI that helps end users to easily navigate PDFs in a web-browser. You can adjust the UI\u0026rsquo;s look and feel by tweaking CSS or completely customize its functionality by complementing the JavaScript front-end. The demo below gives an idea of how the UI can be customized to match your app or website requirements. The embedded PDF document you see in the demo represents the default look and functionality of the UI, while the demo viewer itself is slightly tweaked with our CSS: In addition to that, the library provides a choice between English, Spanish, Portuguese, Norwegian and Russian UI localizations. Keep Your PDFs SafeThe GroupDocs.Viewer for Java library comes as downloadable JAR that can be deployed on your own server and behind your firewalls. All your PDFs are processed locally and hosted on your server, which ensures complete control over documents’ security. If you don’t want users to copy the contents of displayed PDFs, the printing, downloading and text copying options can be restricted or removed from the UI at all. And for an additional layer of security, the library allows you to add watermarks over the displayed PDF documents. Try the Viewer for FreePlease feel free to download an evaluation copy of the library or contact sales for a 30-day fully functional trial. To help you explore the library quickly, we’ve prepared a bunch of code samples along with detailed documentation. We are always happy to help you resolve use-cases of any complexity, so feel free to contact our support team for help. For more details on the Java PDF viewer library, please see this page.

We\u0026rsquo;ve recently released a new version of the Java document viewer - GroupDocs.Viewer for Java version 2.3 - and would like to discover its new features and enhancements in this article. GroupDocs.Viewer for Java is an HTML5-based document viewer library designed to make it easy for developers to integrate into their Java apps. The viewer supports more than 50 document and image types, including PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, AutoCAD, Visio, etc. Implemented within HTML5 standards, the viewer allows documents to be viewed from any web-enabled device using only a web‑browser. Let\u0026rsquo;s now look at the enhancements seen in the latest version of the library (version 2.3):\nApplication Path Flexibility The application path allows the viewer to link and handle client-server requests correctly. Starting from version 2.2, it is possible to use a relative paths. You can now also choose between three different types of the applicationPath parameter value:\nAbsolute path, like: http://127.0.0.1:8080 Custom URL prefix, like: custom-url Prefix (custom-url) is added to the full application path, including context path ‑ http://127.0.0.1:8080/custom-url null value In this case the viewer uses the default application request URI (for example, http://127.0.0.1:8080/) Added UI Configuration Parameters PDF Printing Thanks to the new usePdfPrinting parameter, you can now print documents directly to PDF. Just set the parameter value to true. In this case, when clicking the Print button, a user gets the document printed out in the PDF format.\nPage Reordering When the supportPageReordering parameter is set to true, users can change a documents page order by dragging page thumbnails in the left side panel. Please note that this option does not change the original document itself. It is intended to help users conveniently browse and collaborate on documents in the web UI. Also, the page reordering feature currently works in the image-based rendering mode only. Set the useHtmlBasedEngine parameter to false in order to enable the feature.\nWatermarking Protecting documents with watermarks in now also easier. There are two parameters available:\nwatermarkText - specifies text for the watermark watermarkColor - specifies color of the watermark (6 hex digits, i.e. fb3000) Watermarks are added in a separate layer over the rendered documents, so that the original files are not modified. If you want to keep your documents safe, please be sure to disable both the Download and Printing options as well. Also, please note that watermarks can be added in the image-based rendering mode only.\nCustom Localization Another great feature added in the latest versions of the Java document viewer - support of custom localizations. In the earlier versions you would have to tweak the viewer\u0026rsquo;s front-end with your own localization (as described here). Starting from now, you can simply add a localization file. For example, assume we need Portuguese localization. First, we have to create a file called pt-PT.properties and fill it with translated terms:\nBookMode=Vista Revista FileName=Nome do Arquivo FitHeight=Ajustar a Altura FitWidth=Ajustar a Largura LoadingYourContent=Carregando conteudo... Modified=Modificado Of=de OpenFile=Abrir Arquivo ParentFolder=Pasta principal ScrollView=Scroll Vertical Search=Pesquisa Size=Tamanho Thumbs=Miniaturas The localization file name has to be in the following format: .properties to be recognized with the viewer. Once the file is ready, place it somewhere in the system (G:\\Projects\\GroupDocs\\app\\locale) and set the path as the localesPath parameter value:\nG:\\\\Projects\\\\GroupDocs\\\\app\\\\xFiles Please note. This value has to be strictly directory path only. Do not append the locale file name to the path, since GroupDocs.Viewer automatically picks up an appropriate localization for your system. So you can place several localization files in that directory.\nOther Improvements Added support for XPS file format Implemented P8 FileNet support Added sub-folders navigation. Now you can browse and open any sub-folder content. For a complete list of changes, please check the release notes in the GroupDocs file archive. The library itself can be downloaded from there. For more information on the viewer and its features, please visit GroupDocs.Viewer for Java home page. To help you install and get started with the viewer quickly we also provide example code projects and detailed documentation with technical articles and guides.\n","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/viewer/get-more-flexibility-with-the-new-features-in-groupdocs-viewer-for-java-library-2-3/","summary":"Hi, everyone!

Under the new mode, all text is placed on the page using pure HTML and CSS, while graphics are drawn using SVG format. This feature makes pages more \u0026ldquo;lightweight\u0026rdquo; and allows end-users to search for text within the document using the native browser search functionality. Please note: by default, the rendering mode is image-based, so you have to switch it explicitly. This can be done via the useHtmlBasedEngine parameter in the JavaScript plugin - just specify true to enable HTML mode. Also, when you turn on the HTML-based mode, make sure to set the com.groupdocs.viewer.config.ServiceConfiguration constructor\u0026rsquo;s useCache argument to true.\nEnhanced Thumbnails Panel Usability GroupDocs.Viewer for Java 2.0 has a new layout option for the thumbnails panel. The panel can now either slide over the document pages, or you can place it on the same level as the pages, so that it doesn\u0026rsquo;t overlap the document\u0026rsquo;s content. The layout options can be switched with the useInnerThumbnails Boolean parameter, where the true value places thumbnails to the left side of the viewport.\nImproved Text Search Engine Previous versions of the viewer could only search on exact phrases. That is also the default in the new version. A newly added option allows users to search for every separate word entered to the search form. To activate this, just specify true for the _searchForSeparateWords _parameter.\nEnhancements for the Upload API Token ID - a New Unique and Secure File Identifier This is a Java-specific feature of the new version of the document viewer. Before this update, the upload API was quite primitive - it only provided an ID of the uploaded file on the output side. The identification functionality was encapsulated into the TokenId class. Now, the _ViewerHandler _method:\npublic Object uploadFile(InputStream inputStream, String fileName, Integer timeToLive) returns the file token ID, which, as before, can be used to view the uploaded file. But with its new ID, the viewing process got few important improvements:\nUploaded File Time Usage Restriction The first improvement is the ability to restrict access to uploaded files using the TokenId time limit. Each uploaded file\u0026rsquo;s ID now has the _timeToLive _parameter, which can be checked with the\npublic boolean isExpired() method of the _TokenId _class. For example, before displaying a document, you can check:\nTokenId tki = new TokenId(tokenId); if(tki.isExpired()) { // access denied } Token ID Renewal API The redundancy of file upload and space usage issue was resolved with the token ID renewal API. Now, the old token can be refreshed using the\npublic Object renewTokenId(String tokenId) method of the _ViewerHandler _class.\nOther Improvements In addition to the above, the new version of the Java document viewer library features the following:\nFaster page rendering on first load - due to additional cache. Lower memory usage - due to tuned-up algorithms. Improved integration - the API is now better structured. For a complete list of new features, improvements and bug fixes, as well as to download the new version of the GroupDocs.Viewer for Java library, please visit this page.

For those of you who missed my previous post, please find it here. This time I\u0026rsquo;m going to continue describing the core updates that the library has seen in the second major release. So, here we go:\nEnhanced Text Search Options GroupDocs.Viewer 2.0 includes a lot of helpful text search improvements. And importantly, all the features described below are compatible with both the image-based and HTML-based rendering modes.\nAdjusting the Color of Search Hits When you search a word or a phrase in a document using GroupDocs.Viewer’s search toolbar, the matched text is highlighted with two colors. The first color, CurrentSearchColor, is applied to the first matched result. The second color, OtherSearchColor, is applied to all other matched results located after the first one. By default, CurrentSearchColor is light green, and OtherSearchColor is dark green. In GroupDocs.Viewer 2.0 you can specify these colors yourself. In order to do this, invoke the SearchHighlightColor method, which contains two string parameters - the first one is mandatory and specifies OtherSearchColor, while the second one is optional and specifies CurrentSearchColor. If you omit the second parameter, then the default light green color is used for both of the parameters. For example:\n…ViewerClientCode(). ….SearchHighlightColor(\u0026#34;blue\u0026#34;) //only OtherSearchColor is specified …ViewerClientCode(). … .SearchHighlightColor(\u0026#34;blue\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;red\u0026#34;)//both OtherSearchColor and CurrentSearchColor are specified Search for Any of Several Words What happens when you insert several words (two, for example) into the search field and hit Enter? There are two ways to deal with this. On the one hand, it can be treated as if you want to find an exact phrase. On the other hand, it can be treated as if you want to find both an exact combination AND all distinct words located separately. GroupDocs.Viewer 2.0 supports both of these approaches. By default, when you enter several words, GroupDocs.Viewer tries to find only the exact combination of these words - that is how previous versions of GroupDocs.Viewer worked. Now, if you want to switch to the second scenario, just use the new SearchForSeparateWords method, which takes two parameters and sets the value of its first parameter, searchForSeparateWords, to true. In this case, when several words are entered, GroupDocs.Viewer will find and highlight all of them, whether they are combined or separate. This might make you ask: what if the SearchForSeparateWords mode is enabled and you want to search only for the exact phrase, without having to change the source code back on the server-side? Continue reading…\nTreat Phrases in Double Quotes as Exact Phrases when Searching for Separate Words Let’s take a look at the SearchForSeparateWords method more closely:\npublic ClientHelper SearchForSeparateWords(bool searchForSeparateWords = true, bool treatPhrasesInDoubleQuotesAsExactPhrases = false) This method has two parameters, the second of which allows you to find and highlight only exact phrases even if the SearchForSeparateWords mode is enabled. To do this just call this method with both parameters set to true:\n…ViewerClientCode(). …..SearchForSeparateWords(true, true) By default, the second parameter is set to false, so you need to change it to true explicitly. When you do this, you can find exact phrases by wrapping words in double quotes. For example, if you enter word1 word2 into the search field, GroupDocs.Viewer finds and highlights all word1, all word2 and all combinations of the two. But if you enter \u0026ldquo;word1 word2\u0026rdquo; (in double quotes), GroupDocs.Viewer finds and highlights only this exact phrase (if any in the document).\nRearranging PagesPage Reordering is a brand new feature that was added in version 2.0 of the GroupDocs document viewer. This feature allows you to change the page order of the displayed document client-side, from a web-browser. This can be done in the GroupDocs.Viewer interface via the thumbnails panel, where page previews are displayed. A user just needs to drag the thumbnail of a page he wants to move and drop it to a new location. Pages in the document will be reordered accordingly. Also, GroupDocs.Viewer fixes the new order of the pages, so that next time the user loads the document, he/she will see the rearranged document. Page reordering doesn’t impact the original document on the server, but the user can download the rearranged version of the original document to the client-side. The only way to download it is to enable an option for downloading a PDF instead of the original file (please see how to configure conversion to PDF on download in my previous post). By default document rearranging feature is disabled. To turn it on, you should invoke the SupportPageReordering method:\n…ViewerClientCode(). ….SupportPageReordering(true) Also, please note that page reordering is supported only with the image-based rendering mode.\nCentering Pages GroupDocs.Viewer allows you to increase and decrease a document\u0026rsquo;s zoom level using the toolbar buttons Zoom In, Zoom Out and Zoom Level. In previous versions of the GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET library, and by default in version 2.0, when you decrease a zooming level and pages become small, they rearrange in such a way that they are located one next to the other, like tiles. For example, when a 50% zoom out level is reached, two pages are shown side by side, horizontally. GroupDocs.Viewer 2.0 has a new mode, designed to prevent this type of tile-like rearrangement. With this mode pages are always placed in one row, regardless of the zoom factor. In order to enable this mode, pass the true parameter to the ShowOnePageInRow method:\n…ViewerClientCode(). ….ShowOnePageInRow(true) Localization GroupDocs.Viewer 2.0 includes localizations for four languages for interface elements like text labels and tooltips, including: “en-US” (American English, the default), “es-ES” (Spanish), “pt-PT” (Portuguese) and \u0026ldquo;nb-NO\u0026rdquo; (Norwegian). To set up the needed locale, use the ClientHelper class\u0026rsquo; Locale method. It has two overloads:\npublic ClientHelper Locale(string locale); public ClientHelper Locale(SupportedLocales locale); These overloads are equivalent: you can use either of them. If you use several Locale methods in one Viewer control, the last one is applied. For example:\n…ViewerClientCode(). ….Locale(SupportedLocales.ptPT).Locale(\u0026#34;en-US\u0026#34;) In this line of code we invoke both overloads: in the first line we apply the Portuguese locale, and in second, English. The last locale will be applied, so after compilation and execution, end-users will see the English locale.\nOther Features and Improvements The DocViewerId method was removed from the ClientHelper class - there is no need for it anymore. The Groupdocs.Web.UI.Viewer class now has two new methods: EnableDownloadRequestHandling and EnablePrintRequestHandling. All of these have one Boolean parameter. They are like enabling and disabling downloading and printing (this was described earlier), but, in contrast to showing or hiding buttons in the GroupDocs.Viewer UI, these methods are more global - they allow developers to enable or disable downloading and printing across a website, all pages and instances of the GroupDocs.Viewer web-control. These options are more powerful than those that the web-control has. For example, if downloading is enabled in GroupDocs.Viewer\u0026rsquo;s web-control but disabled in the Viewer class, then users will not be able to download anything at all. 3. PDF to HTML conversion performance has been improved significantly thanks to using a newer version of Knockout.js (ver.3.0.0), which reduces the size of the sprites.png file. 4. Plenty of other minor features have been added to GroupDocs.Viewer 2.0. You can find a complete list of improvements, as well as download the new version of the viewer on this page. For more details on the GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET library itself, please see the product\u0026rsquo;s homepage.

So, here we go:\nEnhanced Text Search Options GroupDocs.Viewer 2.0 includes a lot of helpful text search improvements.","title":"GroupDocs.Viewer 2.0 - New Features and Improvements in the Document Viewer for .NET Library (Part B)"},{"content":"Greetings!\rWe\u0026rsquo;re pleased to announce a major update of the GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET library: version 2.0. This version of the document viewer has a lot of new features, improvements and bug fixes. You\u0026rsquo;ll find a complete list of updates and the new library itself here. In this and the next article, I\u0026rsquo;d like to take a closer look at the updates that I think you\u0026rsquo;ll be the most interested. So here we go:\nDesktop .NET Document Viewer Without a doubt, the main new feature is support for non-web-based applications. GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET can now be used in desktop-based WinForms apps that have no relation to ASP.NET and internet. You can create a standalone EXE application, which will be able to display almost all popular document types without requiring any third-party plugins or middleware. We\u0026rsquo;ve prepared a couple of short guides that show how to integrate GroupDocs.Viewer into a desktop application:\nHow to Use the GroupDocs.Viewer WinForms Control Description of the GroupDocs.Viewer WinForms Control Methods HTML-Based Rendering Mode GroupDocs.Viewer v.2.0 includes a new HTML-based rendering mode, opposite to the default image-based one. The mode is focused on the textual information of the document: all texts from an original document are extracted and then rendered in a browser as real text, not images, while document background is rendered using SVG vector images. This is completely different from the image-based rendering mode, where documents are rendered to a set of images and parsed text is placed over the images. The feature might be very useful, since when the HTML-based mode is enabled, all text parsed from a document is placed on a web-page directly, so you can perform browser-based search for text within the document. Please note, that the image-based mode is enabled by default. In order to switch to the HTML-based one, please set the .UseHtmlBasedEngine(true) method\u0026rsquo;s parameter value to true.\nSwitching Between PNG and SVG Images When using the HTML-based rendering mode, GroupDocs.Viewer converts the original document to a combination of HTML markup and SVG images. However, since Internet Explorer 8 and other older browsers don\u0026rsquo;t support SVG, we\u0026rsquo;ve supplied the viewer with an additional mode that converts background images to PNG format instead of SVG. Image conversion can be used in conjunction with the HTML-based rendering described earlier. To use PNG images for backgrounds, you just need to invoke the UseHtmlBasedEngine method and set the value of the second optional parameter - usePngImagesForHtmlBasedEngine - to true:\n…ViewerClientCode(). … .UseHtmlBasedEngine(true, true) Watermarks You can now add text watermarks to any document. For this, use the Watermark method when invoking GroupDocs.Viewer on a web-page (an ASPX page in case of WebForms, or view in case of MVC). This method has two parameters: the first is mandatory and takes the string of text that should be placed on a document. The second is optional and takes the text color. If you omit the second parameter, text is displayed in red. Here is an example:\n…ViewerClientCode(). … .Watermark(\u0026#34;text for watermark\u0026#34;, Color.Aqua) A few notes regarding the feature that can save you time: 1. When added, a text watermark will be presented on every page of the document. You cannot specify which pages should contain the watermark. You also can\u0026rsquo;t place different watermarks on different pages in the same document. 2. Watermarks are only added to web-pages on the client-side. The original documents on the server are not modified. When a user downloads a watermarked document, they receive the original version of the document without any watermarks. 3. Watermarks can\u0026rsquo;t be added to a document when using the HTML-based rendering mode.\nEnabling/Disabling Document Downloading and Printing When a document is displayed in a browser, users can download and print the original file using buttons on the GroupDocs.Viewer’s toolbar. In previous versions of the viewer, you had to replace the default HTTP-handlers with your own to restrict (disable) the printing and downloading options. Such a scenario is described in the following article: How to Replace HTTP Handlers to Set up User Permissions in the GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET Library. With the release of version 2.0, you can do the same thing with a single line of code. In particular, the ClientHelper class (available via the ViewerClientCode method) now has two new methods: ShowDownload and ShowPrint. Each of these has one Boolean optional parameter. When the parameter value is set to true (the default value), users see the Download and Print buttons and can download or print the original file. When set to false, the Download and Print buttons are hidden and users can\u0026rsquo;t download or print the original document. Of course, you can also enable only one of the options, while keeping the other disabled. For example, the following code:\n…ViewerClientCode(). … .ShowDownload(true).ShowPrint(false) allows users to download a document, while restricting printing. Only the Download button will be displayed in the toolbar.\nDownloading Documents in PDF Format In addition to the standard download option, which allows users to download a document in the original file format, GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET version 2.0 can convert displayed documents to PDF, so that each time users try to download a document, they get a PDF copy of the original file. This feature is powered by our universal document conversion library: GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET. You can find a complete list of document formats that can be converted to PDF on this page. In order to activate the feature, just invoke the DownloadPdfFileIfPossible method with the downloadPdfFile parameter\u0026rsquo;s value set to true:\n…ViewerClientCode(). … .DownloadPdfFileIfPossible(true) New Layout for Page Thumbnails In earlier versions of our .NET document viewer, page thumbnails could only be displayed in the document area. (When clicking on the Thumbs button, a thumbnail panel slides over the document. As a result, a part of the document is hidden under the panel.) If this is an issue for your customers, GroupDocs.Viewer version 2.0 allows you to move thumbnails to the left side of the viewport. To do this, invoke the UseInnerThumbnails method and set the value of the use parameter to true:\n…ViewerClientCode(). ….UseInnerThumbnails(true) Extended Stream Support I\u0026rsquo;ve already written a detailed article showing how to load documents from streams with the GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET library. And since we\u0026rsquo;ve received a lot of positive feedback and suggestions on this feature, we decided to expand it in version 2.0 as follows:\nExtended Signature of the Stream Method The ClientHelper class\u0026rsquo; Stream method now has one mandatory and 3 optional parameters. Its signature is as follows:\npublic ClientHelper Stream(Stream stream, string fileName = null, string fileExtension = null, string fileDisplayName = null) As you can see, only the stream object itself is mandatory, all other parameters have the value null by default. Here are their descriptions:\nfileName - specifies the name of the file that will be created by the GroupDocs.Viewer and stored in the RootStoragePath folder. The stream content will be written to this file. fileExtension - specifies the file extension of the document in this stream. If an extension is provided, GroupDocs.Viewer will use it. If it isn\u0026rsquo;t, GroupDocs.Viewer uses its own document type recognition mechanism. fileDisplayName - specifies a file name which will be displayed when a user hits the Download or Print button. Important notice: the signature of the new Stream method is not compatible with its predecessor in the GroupDocs.Viewer version 1.x.\nSupport for Multiple Streams One more improvement - the Streams method with the next signature:\npublic ClientHelper Streams(IEnumerable streams) As you can see, it receives a set of streams. But before proceeding, let’s look at the StreamDefinition class from the metadata:\npublic class StreamDefinition { public StreamDefinition(); public string FilenameExtension { get; set; } public Stream Stream { get; set; } } It is a simple container class for the document that is presented as a stream. It has only two fields: the stream itself and a filename extension. Please note that this class does not implement the IDisposable interface so you should take care of stream disposal yourself. Let’s get back to the Streams method. Now you see that it simply obtains a set of streams, and, what is very important when using multiple streams, it will display all of them! In fact, the Streams method makes it possible to display more than one document within the GroupDocs.Viewer UI. Let me show you how:\nViewerClientCode() .TargetElementSelector(\u0026#34;#test\u0026#34;) … .Streams ( new List(2) { new StreamDefinition() { FilenameExtension = \u0026#34;pdf\u0026#34;, Stream = new FileStream(@\u0026#34;\\\\doc1.pdf\u0026#34;, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read) }, new StreamDefinition() { FilenameExtension = \u0026#34;docx\u0026#34;, Stream = new FileStream(@\u0026#34;\\\\doc2.docx\u0026#34;, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read) } } ) In this example we have two documents, two streams and two StreamDefinition instances. When executing this code, both of the documents are displayed sequentially, one after another! This is it for this article, but not for the new release. I\u0026rsquo;ll publish another post describing the rest of the new functionality and improvements (also very promising) in a few days.

The library generates PDF and Word documents from templates by automatically filling out merge fields with custom data. If your company or a client have to create tens or hundreds of documents by filling out standard templates with data obtained through user input or from a DB, this library can be of great help. Just to mention a few examples, it can be used to generate legal documents, insurance policies, invoices, bills, NDAs, order quotes, offer letters, and any other types of documents. The library can be installed with just a single DLL and allows you to easily embed document generation functionality into your ASP.NET / C# application. The server part of the library is deployed in conjunction with a web UI, which allows end users to prepare templates and get completed documents without any help from developers. The workflow is simple: 1. Users create templates in a Word or PDF format by adding merge fields to documents. Templates can be prepared in any office software that supports PDF or DOC/DOCX file editing. 2. GroupDocs.Assembly\u0026rsquo;s wizards guide users through composing questionnaires (interviews) where each question is associated with a merge field in the templates. The questionnaires can be then embed into a web page or an application. 3. For each completed questionnaire, GroupDocs.Assembly generates a new, unique document by incorporating data entered through the questionnaire into the template. The finished document is available for download right away. 4. Update: starting from version 1.0.5, the GroupDocs.Assembly for .NET library includes a template editor component, meaning you can now not only generate documents based on your existing templates, but actually create new DOC/DOCX/PDF templates without the need to use Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat. With this new component, GroupDocs.Assembly for .NET covers a complete document generation cycle: 1) Create a new template or edit an existing one -\u0026gt; 2) Connect the template to a data source (a DB or user input) -\u0026gt; 3) Get completed documents that look like the template but incorporate data from your sources. For more details on this new version, its key components and features please refer to our new post on this page.\nKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits: Easy deployment with just a single DLL + customizable web UI.

From version control, central document repositories, cost reduction, and increasing employee output: cloud technologies helps. One of the tasks we often perform in our work is to compare documents or files to find differences and check which version is the most recent. That can be frustrating at times: it is time consuming and takes time that could be used for other tasks. Consider the example of a software engineer who needs to review and spot the differences in two Javascript or PHP files. Checking lines of code manually is error-prone and the engineer may miss important details. In this scenario, there should be a mechanism that can highlight the differences real-time and provide a summary on additions or deletions made in the files.

Use it to compare documents online, from within your web browser. In this blog, we\u0026rsquo;ll see how lawyers or legal firms can use our document comparison tool to their advantage. In the legal world, PDFs are commonly used for electronic filing and it has become a standard practice in courts and government agencies.\nGeneral Tasks Performed by LawyersLawyers or legal experts need to maintain close contact with their clients. They report all progress and activities, and advise on critical issues. Not only that, but preparing large sets of documents for hearings and other legal proceedings is a key activity. So there is a need for revision and document comparison at each level. It requires meticulous execution as even the smallest change, if unnoticed, can have an impact on the case. Client confidentiality and preventing unauthorized use of legal documents are other important issues. What is GroupDocs Comparison?GroupDocs Comparison is on online document comparison app that lets you accurately compare Word documents, as well as Excel and PDF files, online from your desk. When you compare Word documents, for example, GroupDocs generates a redline view to spot the differences between two files. All insertions or deletions are marked with blue and redline respectively. A summary of the compared document helps readers figure out changes in real-time. No new software installations are needed. With GroupDocs Comparison, you can consolidate the difference between different versions and export it to DOC file for offline editing. Protect documents from unauthorized use and view the categorized changes to stay current. Benefits of the Document Comparison AppGroupDocs\u0026rsquo; online document comparison tool offers compelling features that can be used to: Version control: Lawyers constantly juggle files and documents to build their case. Keeping ten versions of a document may sound tidy, but eventually, they\u0026rsquo;ll need to automate the document comparison process to find the current version. GroupDocs Comparison does the job perfectly. Compare Word documents, PDF files and Excel spreadsheets: Upload documents to GroupDocs, select the source and target documents and run document comparison. GroupDocs\u0026rsquo; line tracking feature allows you to see the changes made to the document. Lawyers will find it very helpful as the feature works in a similar way to that of change tracking in Microsoft Word. It saves time and they can engage in multitasking.

Exactly 2 years after the very first release of Bootstrap to the open world by the ex-Twitter developers we have now Bootstrap v3 - the new version of the most popular CSS framework. I’m calling it the most popular because of the recently announced results from the meanpath source-code search engine which shows that 1% of websites nowadays are using Bootstrap. Which is a quite big number considering the fact there are more than 150 million active websites across the world wide web. But enough with rhetorical facts and let’s move on to the important part of this article. [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_4039\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;alignnone\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;622\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;What Has Changed in Bootstrap v3\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption]\nWhat Has Changed in Bootstrap v3? On a first sight it doesn’t seem to have changed much, because Bootstrap v3 is still a CSS framework at the end of the day. Of course a lot of people are used to its features by now. But if you’re familiar with the code of the previous versions (mainly the LESS part of it) it has actually changed a lot. Both the CSS and JavaScript parts were rewritten to provide better optimization for the end product, because the Bootstrap developers and community are pushing it to be more relevant to current front-end trends and best practices.\nNo more fallback Support for IE7 The first major thing is that the framework doesn’t provide fallback styles for IE7 anymore. And that is to be expected, because even jQuery dropped them with their last major version. Dropping support for older browsers is an important transition for web evolution, because not that far into the feature, progressive enhancement will be aimed mainly at improving the mobile experience, rather than making websites behave the same way under different browser vendors. And that’s what I’m looking forward too as a web developer.\nFluid by default The other big change is that Bootstrap v3 is responsive and fluid by default. This is because responsiveness isn’t a new concept in web development anymore and it’s such a common and widely used technique that it just doesn’t make sense to having a site that\u0026rsquo;s optimized for mobile users. Because of all that, the .row-fluid and .container-fluidclasses are now gone. They’re replaced with a lot of new classes for this, which give users a lot more freedom over and options for how they want their app’s layout to look on different screens. I won’t go into too much detail, or share code snippets, because you can find plenty of examples and instructions in the official documentation. The next major change in Bootstrap v3 is that it is built around the idea of the “Mobile First” approach. If you aren’t familiar with this practice, it’s basically a way of developing a web app. You start developing it for the smallest phones, then tablets and so on until you reach the large desktop look and features. So this change comes hand in hand with the default fluid nature of the framework. If you\u0026rsquo;re disappointed about these changes and think that you’re obligated to make your site responsive and can’t use Bootstrap v3 because of this, don’t worry: you can still make static sites, just with some extra classes in the HTML. You have now a standalone class for responsive images - .img-responsive - instead of having all of your images that way when using the responsive version of the framework.\nGlyphicons use font files The next important change I really want to point out goes hand in hand with one of my previous articles, Using Web Icon Fonts – Best Practices. That’s right, Glyphicons now use a font file instead of a PNG sprite, which I find awesome. It has 180 icons inside it, so be sure to check them out if you plan on using them in your project.\nNew look Also another big change is the default look of the whole framework. Like the other changes, this shows that Bootstrap aims to stay relevant to the current state of web. The design has “gone flat” as they call it, meaning that a lot of box shadows and gradients have been removed from most of the elements. The bright colors have been changed to more neutral ones. Soft, darker colors and more simplicity is what web 2.0 stands for, so this change was kind of expected, at least from me.\nModules added, modules removed The last changes I want to mention are what modules are removed and what’s added. Accordion, submenus and typeahead were removed. They are replaced by new modules: Panels and List Groups.\nPanels are basically boxes that have an optional header, footer and, of course, content part. This could come in handy for any custom notification boxes (something like alerts in that sense) or containers for articles and so on. List groups can be used for a simple or really complex series of components that have some sort consistent hierarchy. Of course they don’t limit you in any way and you can use them for whatever type of structure you think fits them well. It’s a flexible and powerful component which could fit very well in responsive and more complex layouts. There are thousands of other changes on the class names of pretty much the whole framework which you can find on the official Bootstrap website. For those of you who aren’t ready to transition yet, don’t worry: version 2.3.2 is still null.\nTo Sum It Up Personally, I’m very pleased with the new version of the framework and I have already started using Bootstrap v3 in several new projects. I could say it’s not bad, but I’ll probably need a bit more time to adapt to it as with anything new. I like that they’ve gone for the icon font and the mobile first approach and that they keep looking to the future.

In a previous article, we discussed how to create and use a plugin for SugarCRM, now we will discuss Sugar On-Demand\u0026rsquo;s features. We will use the GroupDocs GDrive plugin as an example. [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_3933\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;alignnone\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;600\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;How to Сreate a Custom GroupDocs Plugin for Sugar On-Demand\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption]\nRequirements PHP 5.3 SugarCRM On-Demand account SugarCRM On-Demand application GroupDocs account Development of GroupDocs GDriveTwo main features of Sugar On-Demand are: All functions relating to the file system are denied. Sugar On-Demand is a cloud service so all plugin files must be installed from a single package because you will not be able to override deleted files during deployment. Using the JavaScript SDK On the on-demand version of SugarCRM we can\u0026rsquo;t use our PHP SDK because all functions that work with file system are prohibited. Also it\u0026rsquo;s impossible to override installed files which is why we have to use only one package for the installation, and the installed plugin doesn\u0026rsquo;t need to deploy. In the Gdrive plugin we use the JavaScript SDK which is minimized and located in the plugin root folder/_Dashlets/gd_GroupDocsDashlet/_gd_GroupDocsDashletLibs.tpl file. You can view and download GroupDocs JavaScript SDK from GitHub. In this file we have also minimized CSS styles for the plugin UI. In the _plugin root folder/Dashlets/gd_GroupDocsDashlet/_gd_GroupDocsDashletScript.tpl we have all the JavaScript functions that provide the plugin UI\u0026rsquo;s connectivity to the JavaScript SDK. For the on-demand version of the plugin we don\u0026rsquo;t use Dashlet: the entire user-side UI is in the Module detail view page (if a user clicks on GroupDocs in the main menu, they will see the user side UI).

Only admins can access the module. The gd_GroupDocs_Sharing module is almost the same as gd_GroupDocs but doesn\u0026rsquo;t have the user side UI or the different admin side UI. That\u0026rsquo;s all: the plugin\u0026rsquo;s created.

Now you must be wondering, how can GroupDocs Annotation benefit me? Every document development (reports, white papers, research articles, etc.) goes through a review cycle to ensure that the document meets industry and organizational standards. Consider a situation where you have done a fundamental analysis of an oil major. You\u0026rsquo;ve spent months researching and meeting different professionals and have put together all the information that an agency or a investor firm need for their decision making. It is certain that you\u0026rsquo;d want it be reviewed multiple times by in-house departments before making it publicly available to ensure consistency and that the factual data is correct. GroupDocs\u0026rsquo; PDF annotation app fosters document collaboration and makes it easy to communicate. Share a link to the document and team members can join the collaborative review process from anywhere in the world. It is extremely beneficial for large projects where client interaction is a must. Comments are visible to all invited parties and you manage the document from within your GroupDocs account. Collaborate real-time and get feedback faster.\nSharing Data – Online Document Viewer GroupDocs Viewer is a web-based app that lets you read, share, and view documents online with a browser. Share different document types (PDF, DOCX, XLS, etc.) with users effectively from within your website or company portal. No new software installations is needed. The online document viewer lets you embed documents and is platform independent. As a banker, you see the potential: disseminate reports faster, attract foreign investors and acquire business.

This file will contain all information for plugin installation. I\u0026rsquo;m not showing the manifest.php code because of its big size but you can find it on GitHub. The next step is creating icons: we need to create a folder named icons and add all icon files to it. Now let\u0026rsquo;s start creating the plugin functionality. The GroupDocs Viewer plugin embeds files from a GroupDocs account using its GUID. Plugin Functionality Lets start with variables. All variables are specified in vardefs.php.\nThen create a folder named shugarModule which will contain all functionality.\nCreate a language file:\nIn the ShugarModule folder, create a language folder. In this folder, create an application folder with an en_us.lang.php file. You will have the following structure: Create a relationships folder. This folder will contain all the files that describe relationships for the database tables that will be created for the plugin. In the ./relationships directory, all the many-to-many relationships are defined and included in the $dictionary array. The files are stored in ./appropriate folder/\u0026lt;relation_table_name\u0026gt;MetaData.php. Tables are generated based on these definitions. These files are included through the ./modules/TableDictionary.php file. If you create a custom many-to-many relationship, you need to add a reference to the new relationship to the custom/application/Ext/TableDictionary/tabledictionary.php file. If the file doesn\u0026rsquo;t exist, create it. These changes take effect after you clear the Sugar cache by running the Quick Repair and Rebuild option from the Admin Repair screen. The following are the definitions for $dictionary[]. They are similar to the Vardefs. If necessary use that page as a reference. \u0026lt;relationship_table\u0026gt; : The index for this relationship in the $dictionary array table : The name of the table that is created in the database fields : Array containing arrays for each column definition. The join table must have a field for the primary key of each table to be linked, a primary key for the join table itself, a deleted field for relationship unlinking, and a date_modified field to track when the relationship changes. Additional fields can be added to track the role played by the relationship indices : The database indices on the relationship table relationships : Definitions of the relationships between the two tables lhs_modules : The left hand module. Should match $beanList index lhs_table : The left hand table name lhs_key : The key to use from the left table rhs_modules : The right hand module. Should match $beanList index rhs_table : The right hand table name rhs_key : The key to use from the right table relationship_type : Relationship type join_table : Join table used to join items join_key_lhs : Left table key. Should exist in table field definitions above join_key_rhs : Right table key. Should exist in table field definitions aboveWe\u0026rsquo;ve finished with the basic functions needed to for SugarCRM to install and recognize the plugin. Now we can work directly with the module files which do all magic. In the SugarModule folder, create a modules folder, and in this folder create a gdoc_GroupDocs folder. This last folder will be placed in the SugarCRM installation\u0026rsquo;s modules folder and will contain all the plugin files.\nPlace the vardefs.php file, which contains an array with all variables, into this folder.\nCreate a controller.php file. This file will do all the work, and will receive all the requests from the form. This is a controller.php code: if(!defined(\u0026#39;sugarEntry\u0026#39;) || !sugarEntry) die(\u0026#39;Not A Valid Entry Point\u0026#39;); //require\\_once(\u0026#39;include/MVC/Controller/SugarController.php\u0026#39;); class Gd\\_GroupDocsController extends SugarController { var $moduleName = \u0026#39;gd\\_GroupDocs\u0026#39;; public function action\\_index() { return parent::action\\_listview(); } Here we can see the following:\nThe first line is standard for SugarCRM. Then we define a class for the controller which extends the standard SugarCRM controller class. All action names must start with \u0026ldquo;action_\u0026rdquo; and then the action name. To call an action, simply call \u0026ldquo;\u0026amp;action=index\u0026rdquo; in the URL. Also we need views. To edit the plugin page, we need the edit.view.php file.\nCreate a views folder and place edit.views.php in it. The following table lists the metadata definition files found in the modules/module/metadata directory, and a brief description of their purpose within the system.\nFile\nDescription\nadditionalDetails.php\nUsed to render the Popup information displayed when a user hovers the mouse cursor over a row in the List View.\neditviewdefs.php\nUsed to render a record\u0026rsquo;s EditView.\ndetailviewdefs.php\nUsed to render a record\u0026rsquo;s DetailView.\nlistviewdefs.php\nUsed to render the List View display for a module.\nmetafiles.php\nUsed to override the location of the metadata definition file to be used. The EditView, DetailView, List View, and Popup code check for the presence of these files.\npopupdefs.php\nUsed to render and handle the search form and list view in Popups.\nsearchdefs.php\nUsed to render a module\u0026rsquo;s basic and advanced search form displays.\nsidecreateviewdefs.php\nUsed to render a module\u0026rsquo;s quick create form shown in the side shortcut panel.\nsubpaneldefs.php\nUsed to render a module\u0026rsquo;s sub-panels shown when viewing a record\u0026rsquo;s DetailView.\nWe\u0026rsquo;ve finished with the basic files. There can be other files depending on the plugin functionality, but for the purposes of this example, we\u0026rsquo;re done.\nThe Final Plugin Let\u0026rsquo;s look at the installed module structure: [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_3863\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;alignnone\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;600\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;The installed module structure\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption] And lets see how our plugin looks like in action.

The reasons are quite obvious. It really comes down to the design and user groups a web app targets when choosing cross-browser support and priorities. There is a web development practice called “Progressive Enhancement” which stands behind the idea that all users should have identical experience with websites. Unfortunately, nothing is ever ideal in this world and as much as a developer might try to accomplish results driven by this philosophy there are things that are just impossible to make look or act the same way. You have to take into consideration a lot of different things, like the device resolution, hardware, browser vendor and version, and many other factors. Progressive enhancement is a lot like democracy to me because it cannot be realized exactly as its original model, but you try to recreate it and apply its ideas as much as possible in your workflow. [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_3817\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;alignnone\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;584\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;Modernizr JavaScript Library\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption]\nWhat Is Modernizr All About? nullis a feature detection JavaScript library for HTML5 and CSS3. In other words, it checks if the client’s browser supports the new goodies that HTML5 and CSS3 have in their bags. One of the reasons I’ve decided to write about this library is the fact that some people misunderstand what exactly Modernizr does. The wrong assumption is that Modernizr is doing browser vendor detection or more specifically that it\u0026rsquo;s sniffing the navigator.userAgent string. Indeed, this was how browser detection was done by devs a few years ago, but it is actually a very unsafe and unreliable way of handling cross-browser issues. It has been considered very poor practice from a long time now. This is mainly due the fact that the navigator.userAgent string contains horribly organized and sometimes wrong data. So that’s why doing straight feature detection in the browser is a much more convenient way to resolve cross-browser issues. It’s more efficient to make someone do a task, proving what he’s capable of, than asking him theoretically, right? This is probably the most core functionality of Modernizr, but there is actually a lot more in it, like enabling HTML5 tags support in legacy browsers such as IE6 - IE8. OK the credit for HTML5 tags support goes to html5shim/html5shiv, but that’s included in Modernizr (by default) so you don’t have to load those separately.\nWhat Is Modernizr\u0026rsquo;s Workflow? At the start of every page load in the client’s browser, Modernizr tests all of the features you’ve asked it to and places corresponding classes on the tag of your document. For features that aren’t supported by the current browser it adds a “no-” prefix to the corresponding class name for that feature. For example if the user is browsing with IE8, where box-shadow isn’t supported, Modernizr adds a “no-boxshadow” class to the document\u0026rsquo;s tag.\nHow Can I Take Advantage of Modernizr? Modernizr JavaScript library is a tool intended to help developers handle progressively enhancing web pages. It really depends on how you want to approach the visual and functional differences in browsers. Let’s go with CSS first.\nCSS3 /\\* CSS3 Gradient in modern browsers \\*/ .gradient-box { background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(226,226,226,1) 0%, rgba(219,219,219,1) 50%, rgba(209,209,209,1) 51%, rgba(254,254,254,1) 100%); } /\\* fallback image for old browsers - IE7, IE8 \\*/ .no-cssgradients .gradient-box { background: url(img/vertical-gradient.png) 0 0 repeat-x; } So if you want to have gradients in IE8 just as in modern browsers, you have to use images. This is what the example above is doing, by using only the class placed by Modenizr on the tag (in this case .no-cssgradients) to override the original style. Pretty simple, isn’t it?\nHTML5 Now let’s move onto doing actually something with the library instead of leaving it to do all the work for us. In the next example I’ll use the “placeholder” form input in HTML5.\nModernizr.load({ test: Modernizr.input.placeholder, yep : \u0026#39;\u0026#39;, // I\u0026#39;ve left the \u0026#34;yep\u0026#34; node just in case you have to include something even when it\u0026#39;s supported, otherwise just skip writing \u0026#34;yep\u0026#34; in there nope: \u0026#39;placeholder-polyfill.js\u0026#39; }); This is a very basic example of the Modernizr.load() method. What it does is as simple as it looks. It checks if the browser supports this feature and if it doesn’t it loads a polyfill for it. Polyfill is a code written in JavaScript to enable (mirror) some HTML5 functionality in older browsers that doesn’t have native support for it. You can write one yourself, but you can also find plenty on the internet. Loading scripts via the .load() method of the library is really fast, because it loads files asynchronously. Just keep in mind that you shouldn\u0026rsquo;t include the whole library if you\u0026rsquo;re going to test just for one or two features in the browsers. There are single solutions for most of what you\u0026rsquo;re going to need on this matter, so just make a quick search.\nHow to Install Modernizr? First of all, let’s download it. Go to the official download page at null As suggested in there, you should use the development version before you start developing since it won’t be easy for you to predict all of the features you’re going to use in the project. The best place to include the script is inside the of the document, right after your stylesheet files. Be sure to include the script there if you’re going to use HTML5 Shiv which needs to be executed before the of the document is loaded. After you do this be sure to place a “class=”no-js” on the tag of your document. This class will be replaced by Modernizr with “class=”js” if JavaScript is enabled in your browser. This is it, you can now start using the library. After you have the big picture of your site, you can write down all of the features you’ll be enhancing progressively and go to the download page again. In the wizard there, check only those features you’ll need so you can optimize your own version of the library before uploading it to the production environment.\nConclusion Modernizr JavaScript library a tool that you don’t usually have a good reason not to use. It really is. It’s a very useful, small and fast library and if you’re going to use HTML5 and CSS3 (which you should use) using it in your project can only be helpful to you. There are really good reasons for why the biggest companies in IT like Twitter, Google and Microsoft are using it for their websites right?

There is a web development practice called “Progressive Enhancement” which stands behind the idea that all users should have identical experience with websites.","title":"Introducing Modernizr: a Feature Detection JavaScript Library"},{"content":"Introduction A few years ago, HTML 5 still wasn’t very well supported by most popular browsers so web sites were created mostly with XHTML or HTML4. I still have a folder on my machine filled with HTML templates for both XTML and HTML 4. Inside of it there are also templates for newsletters, micro-sites, responsive templates and whatnot. All of them were built by taking code from 2 or 3 different templates and look like Frankenstein\u0026rsquo;s code monster. Which is understandable, because there are several doctypes in HTML4 and XHTML which developers had to take into account. Setting up a template for a new project wasn’t the fastest thing to do. But now, with HTML5, things are different. [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_3806\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;alignnone\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;600\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;HTML5 Boilerplate Template\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption] HTML5 Boilerplate is a basic template for starting a new web project. It is used by some of the largest and most popular websites and companies for their websites and services, like Google, Microsoft and Nike. Boilerplate template is used in every GroupDocs related project as well, even for this blog.\nWhere to Get It? You can download the full version of Boilerplate template from the official website: http://html5boilerplate.com/. You can also can build your own optimized version of the template, choosing only the files you really need for your project here http://www.initializr.com/ For this tutorial I’ll use Initializr\u0026rsquo;s custom builder. I’ll go with the “Classic H5BP\u0026quot; settings for this one.\nWhat’s Inside It? HTML Boilerplate template has really simple structure built from few folders for your project’s CSS, images and scripts. It alos includes the most popular CSS and JS frameworks, like jQuery, modernizr and Normalize. The full version has a lot of other useful things, but I’ll stick to the core files of the template and leave the rest to your own investigations. Let’s look what’s in the index.html file. Right after the HTML5 doctype, you\u0026rsquo;ll see a few \u0026lt;!--\\[if lt IE …\\]\u0026gt; statements. This is very useful feature and I\u0026rsquo;ve used it in almost every project I\u0026rsquo;ve worked on in the last 3 years or so. Those statements basically put specific classes on the element depending on which IE version the client is using: .ie7, .ie8 etc. Those classes are very helpful when you need to override a CSS rule to fix a bug in IE7 for example. The content in the of the document should be pretty self-explanatory. There a few tags for the document’s charset type, viewport and description. Heads up: Don’t forget to edit the documents . Of course we have the CSS files included and after them we have another IE specific statement which runs HTML5shiv for legacy browsers which don’t have support for the new tags in HTML5 (header, footer, nav, etc.). Keep in mind that you might want to get rid of\nmeta http-equiv=\u0026#34;X-UA-Compatible\u0026#34; content=\u0026#34;IE=edge,chrome=1 before pushing the project to live, because it’s an option created by Microsoft mainly for development and testing purposes.\nJavaScript At the start of the you can see one more statement for enabling Chrome Frame in legacy browsers. I usually keep this since it might improve the user experience for someone out there. At the end of the , several scripts are loaded, make sure they stay there! The first two scripts load jQuery. The first one tries to load the library from Google’s servers and if it fails to do so the next script loads a local copy of jQuery to prevent potential problems with the site’s functionality. After those 2, plugins.js and main.js swhould be included. Main.js is an empty file ready for your own JavaScript, and plugins.js is a file used to initialize plugins. And at the end of the file, you\u0026rsquo;ll find a Google Analytics script template where you can insert your GA ID to enable tracking. That’s all of the index.html file. Create your wrapper element inside the body of the document and start writing markup.\nCSS Let’s talk about the CSS templates located in the css folder. There should be 3 files in total in this folder: main.css, normalize.css, normalize.min.css Main.css contains a few very basic styles for text, images and other popular HTML elements. There are a few helpful service classes you can use too, like .clearfix and**.invisible**. Also some media query statements for print media and responsive layouts. You can of course do whatever you want with the file: extend, delete or rename it. As for Normalize.css, this is your CSS reset file. You should always have one of these in your project. Normalize is probably the most popular CSS reset out there and it\u0026rsquo;s built to bring a more consistent look to sites across modern browsers. If you decide to use your own reset file that’s OK, but you’re strongly encouraged to keep the first 5 or 6 CSS selectors which helps desktop legacy and mobile browsers with the rendering of HTML5 elements. If you have other files in the template you don’t know what do to with, feel free to remove them.\nConclusion Boilerplate is the perfect solution if you don’t have your own HTML template. You can extent it and edit it as much as you want to fit your project\u0026rsquo;s needs. You can use Initializr anytime you want to set up a different template output, or you can simply create a few versions of the template which are working for you and use them later on. It’s all up to you to decide.

Hopefully this tutorial will help you understand the basics of using Bootstrap with LESS.\nWhat Is LESS? LESS is a dynamic stylesheet language which gives you more options and freedom when writing CSS. It helps you keep styles better organized, cascade styles more naturally and correct, and it speeds up CSS development in general. Also it’s a simple language which can be learned in a matter of hours by anyone with some programming experience. Even if you don’t have programming skills, it won\u0026rsquo;t take you long to learn at least its basic features. [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_3791\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;alignnone\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;600\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;LESS Dynamic Stylesheet Language\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption]\nLESS syntax The idea with LESS is to help you develop faster, not to put an additional burden on your shoulders. It can be a lifesaver in large projects such GroupDocs. Described as simply as possible, you write CSS pretty much the same way you’ve always done using the CSS syntax, but with a different mindset when you’re writing in LESS. Which means that you now have options which allow you to write less code. LESS\u0026rsquo; slogan is “LESS is more”. Let’s write a few CSS styles and see how we can improve them with less syntax:\n.blog-article { height: 300px; } .blog-article .image { display: block; float: left; border: 3px dashed black; } .blog-article h2 { font-size: 24px; color: #ccc; text-shadow: 1px 1px #000; } In LESS, it looks like this:\n.blog-article { height: 300px; .image { display: block; float: left; border: 3px dashed black; } h2 { font-size: 24px; color: #ccc; text-shadow: 1px 1px #000; } } What if we want to extend some of the parent classes by adding a new class? In CSS, this is done by concatenating the two classes without leaving space between them:.class1.class2. In LESS, we do it by writing the new class inside the block of the main class with the \u0026amp; operator in front of it:\n.blog-article { height: 300px; \u0026amp;.longer { height: 500px; } } This compiles into:\n.blog-article { height: 300px; } .blog-article.longer { height: 500px; } After you compile the LESS code, it looks exactly the same as the CSS example above. So what have we gained here? Well, we don’t have to write the parents over and over before each new selector, but only inside the .blog-article block brackets ({ }). It might not seem like a big improvement, but as you write more and more code for your website, this way of writing becomes beneficial because styles look a lot more organized and are easier to read. But let\u0026rsquo;s now discover some really neat benefits that we get when using LESS CSS.\nVariables As in classical programming languages, variables are used as containers where you store information as number values or text, depending on your needs. You can find a whole file in Bootstrap filled only with variables so developers can easily change different styles for their projects such as text colors or font types:\n@gray: #555; @sansFontFamily: \u0026#34;PT Sans\u0026#34;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; The whole idea behind variables is that you can use them later in any of your rulesets without having to remember the exact hexadecimal code of a color, or a specific font family:\n.blog-article { h2 { font-family: @sansFontFamily; font-size: @fontLarge; color: @gray; } } Of course you can also do arithmetical expressions with variables which store number values:\nh4 { font-size: @fontLarge / 2; } Mixins Mixins are great for reusing code, something which is a big issue in CSS development. For example, imagine that you have multiple elements with blue background and some image pattern. You can make a simple ruleset that has these background styles inside it and reuse it where you need it later on:\n// This is a simple CSS ruleset which can be added as a mixin inside other rulesets to inherit its properties .blue-background { background: @blue url(path/img.png) 0 0 repeat-x; } .blog-article { .blue-background; } .widget-box { color: @white; border: 2px solid @lime; .blue-background; } // The code above compiles into: .blog-article { background: #049cdb url(path/img.png) 0 0 repeat-x; } .widget-box { color: #fff; border: 2px solid #83ff46; background: #049cdb url(path/img.png) 0 0 repeat-x; } The parametric mixins spring from the same idea as the simple ones, but can accept parameters much like functions do in other programming languages. You can see a lot of them inside the mixins.less file in Bootstrap. Here is one that\u0026rsquo;s very frequently used:\n.border-radius (@radius) { border-radius: @radius; -moz-border-radius: @radius; -webkit-border-radius: @radius; } When we use this mixin inside a ruleset we just have to pass it the desirable value for the border radius we need on this element:\n.button { .border-radius(5px); } // This outputs to the following CSS .button { border-radius: 5px; -moz-border-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; } No more worries over browser support! If you\u0026rsquo;re writing a lot of repeatable code, just think of a way to create a mixin from it and start calling it in other parts of LESS when you need it. There is much, much more that LESS CSS can offer to boost your development process and productivity, but those features should be enough for you to extend and modify your Bootstrap as much as you want. If you\u0026rsquo;re interested in learning more about using Bootstrap with LESS CSS or using LESS CSS even without Bootstrap, you can find anything necessary on LESS\u0026rsquo; official website.

Tom works as a marketing manager for a leading firm in the FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) sector. His job involves meeting with potential clients, understanding their needs, gathering information and closing sales. He regularly meets 8-10 clients a day and sends them proposals soon after the meeting. Keeping track of documents and storing information is difficult. Tom asked himself if the process could be automated: could he create a proposal template, add questions, and send them to his clients to collect information? After an Internet search he found a solution that automates the document generation process and increases his productivity - GroupDocs\u0026rsquo; document assembly app.\nHow Do I Benefit From GroupDocs\u0026rsquo; Document Assembly Service? GroupDocs Assembly is a web-based app that helps you generate custom documents by collecting data entered by users through online forms. The app automatically incorporates the data into an existing document template. With this app, you can seamlessly generate hundreds or even thousands of custom documents, without manually customizing each one. It can take less than an hour to set up a template and you can re-use it any number of times. All you need to do is create a standard document template in Microsoft Word or PDF format and add fields for the user-data. Then upload the template to GroupDocs and create an online questionnaire associated with the fields in the template. Once done, invite clients to complete the questionnaire online. As clients enter and submit data, GroupDocs automatically generates a new document that incorporates the data into the template. In this a way a unique document is created for each individual client. There are countless types of documents that can be assembled with this app - sales contracts, order quotes, NDAs, job applications, and event registrations. GroupDocs Assembly helped Tom collect data and get completed documents quickly. However, that was not his only challenge. He also needed to get documents signed.

This article focuses on using Bootstrap CSS framework. Keep in mind that the framework focuses on giving users a vast set of CSS templates that ranges from basic typography and buttons, to menus, forms and tables. AT the end of the day, the CSS files of the library are packed with a lot of code, some of which you probably don’t need, depending on your project’s size and content. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend using Bootstrap CSS framework in small projects, for example small business web sites and portfolios, business card website or small WordPress templates.\nBootstrap It or Not? Start by deciding whether you need using Bootstrap CSS framework in your project. Check the design: what functionality and what kind of elements are in your project? If you need just one or two Bootstrap modules or plugins, just search for stand-alone solutions. Don’t include the whole framework just so you can use the buttons or the input styles. Instead, copy the CSS from the official site and download the standalone JavaScript plugin from Bootstrap\u0026rsquo;s official git repository. But if you decide that you really want to use Bootstrap CSS in your project because you’ll be happy to use maybe half of the styles, how do you exclude those you don’t need without braking the framework code? First, learn how to compile LESS files. There is a lot of free software which can do this for you, so you should not be worried about it. Just make a quick search on the subject and pick a software solution which suits your taste. I\u0026rsquo;m currently using Crunch. You can also try to find a plugin which compiles LESS to CSS for your favorite text editor. You\u0026rsquo;ll probably find one. Now let’s strip the Bootstrap down a bit. Assuming you’ve downloaded the whole pack of LESS files, for now you just need to open the major file: bootstrap.less. As you can see, all the other files in this folder are included in the main one, so every time you compile this file, all of the code from the rest are included in the output CSS file. When I start optimizing Bootstrap for a new project I first comment out all of the files, except the following ones: variables.less, mixins.less, reset.less, layouts.less, type.less. Commenting a line in LESS is pretty standard. Just put “//” at the beginning of the line we want to be ignored by the browser.\nWhy Should We Keep Those Files? variables.less and mixins.less are pretty vital and necessary in order for Bootstrap to function normally, because those two files store pretty much all of the variables and mixins (functions) that are used in the rest of the files. reset.less contains basic CSS reset styles which you should have in any project, but if you have better reset styles you can use them instead by placing them in the same file. type.less contains pretty much Bootstrap\u0026rsquo;s whole typography so you’re strongly encouraged to edit this file so it reflects the design of your project. If you\u0026rsquo;re uncertain how to use it, just comment this file out as well.\nHow Do I Usually Proceed with the Optimization? I then start to uncomment the other files necessary for my project. For example I have a few buttons, text inputs and navigation bars in the design of my new project. In order to use Bootstrap’s styling for them, I’ll uncomment the following files: buttons.less, forms.less, navbar.less. I also have one modal window so I’ll need modals.less as well, so I’ll include that as well. I then extend and change the code in those files as much as necessary until everything it is styled according to the current design. To optimize your bootstrap.css as much as possible, comment out or remove the styles you’re not using from the loaded .less files. If you don’t understand the LESS syntax it is probably better to avoid doing that so you don’t mess up something in the files, which could results in an error, making it impossible to compile the framework. Of course, after compiling you can add your own styles at the end of bootstrap.css, but you’re strongly encouraged to learn LESS so you can modify the existing files or to create new less files yourself. You can look forward to a future article explaining the basic things about LESS in order to write your own styles and other goodies with or without resorting to Bootstrap.

/\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/handlers\u0026gt; Deploy the project to IIS. Make sure that this project has a static URL and it has started successfully. You can check the availability of a public web service using this URL: \u0026ldquo;http://your-domain/WebServiceProvidingViewer.asmx\u0026rdquo;. If all works fine, you will see two available operations (webmethods): \u0026ldquo;GetInlineDocumentScript\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;GetJavaScriptLibraries\u0026rdquo;. You must also be able to call these webmethods by clicking the Invoke button. Part B: Creating the GroupDocs.Viewer Consumer Web Application Follow the steps given below to create an ASP.NET Web Forms project that consumes the GroupDocs.Viewer Web Service: 1. Create a new ASP.NET Web Forms Application: 2. Add a web reference in the project for the web service created in the other application. To add a web reference, right-click the project, and then click Add Web Reference: The Add Web Reference window is displayed. 3. Fill in the URL and Web reference name in the URL and Web Reference name fields: 4. Add the following controls in the Default.aspx file:\n\u0026lt;head id=\u0026#34;HeadControl\u0026#34; runat=\u0026#34;server\u0026#34;\u0026gt; \u0026lt;title\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/title\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/head\u0026gt; \u0026lt;body id=\u0026#34;BodyControl\u0026#34; runat=\u0026#34;server\u0026#34;\u0026gt; \u0026lt;div id=\u0026#34;test\u0026#34; style=\u0026#34;width:600px;height:400px;position:relative\u0026#34;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/div\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/body\u0026gt; Add the following lines in the Page_Load function: // Creating object of Web Service WebServiceProvidingViewer webServiceProvidingViewer = new WebServiceProvidingViewer(); // Calling the operation GetJavaScriptLibraries from the webservice string scriptLibraries = webServiceProvidingViewer.GetJavaScriptLibraries(); // Calling the operation GetInlineDocumentScript from the webservice string inlineDocPreviewScript = webServiceProvidingViewer.GetInlineDocumentScript(); // The contents are added to the HeadControl HeadControl.Controls.Add(new Literal() { Text = scriptLibraries }); // The contents are added to the BodyControl BodyControl.Controls.Add(new Literal() { Text = inlineDocPreviewScript }); Compile and run the project. You can run it from Microsft Visual Studio using ASP.NET Development Server, it is not necessary to deploy it to the IIS, as with the previous one. Please note that while running this \u0026ldquo;consumer\u0026rdquo; application, the previous GroupDocs.Viewer Web Service application must already be running. You can see that the GroupDocs.Viewer is consumed in the running application: Thus, the GroupDocs document viewer service, integrated in a web application, is consumed in another ASP.NET Web Forms Application. You may download the sample code of the project described. Remark The GroupDocs.Viewer Web Service is available for requests only from the local machine by default. So, when a consumer application is located on a different machine, it won\u0026rsquo;t be able to get an access to the web service. In order to fix this, just insert the following configuration code into the web.config of the GroupDocs.Viewer Web Service application:\n\u0026lt;configuration\u0026gt; \u0026lt;system.web\u0026gt; \u0026lt;webServices\u0026gt; \u0026lt;protocols\u0026gt; \u0026lt;add name=\u0026#34;HttpGet\u0026#34;/\u0026gt; \u0026lt;add name=\u0026#34;HttpPost\u0026#34;/\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/protocols\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/webServices\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/system.web\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/configuration\u0026gt; ","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/viewer/build-asp-net-webforms-html5-document-viewer/","summary":"Customers who integrate our HTML5 document viewer into their website can plug it into other websites too.

By now you must be wondering \u0026ldquo;How can GroupDocs\u0026rsquo; app suite help?\u0026rdquo; GroupDocs Annotation is the answer to your question. GroupDocs Annotation is an online document review and annotation app that lets you comment, annotate and give feedback on any document. Simply upload the document, share the link with peers and ask them to review it. All comments are visible to team members and can be stored in a single file. No new installations are needed as the app works in a browser. Save time, avoid exchanging emails and collaborate real-time from your desk!\nHow Do I Take Online Signatures? After incorporating suggestions, you need to accept the client\u0026rsquo;s signature. Sending documents by courier or email takes time because the signer needs to take sign a printout and then send it back. GroupDocs Signature helps to collect signatures online without hassle. Send documents with form fields (single line or multi-line fields) to your client online. Once the client signs the document (by uploading, scanning, or drawing their signature), both the sender and signer receive instant notifications to confirm the end of the process. If the client does not sign the document on time, messages are sent to remind them. Data is safe and secure with GroupDocs Signature. Great job! You\u0026rsquo;ve not only succeeded in getting and incorporating feedback, but also taken less time to collect digital signature. Now the consultancy has requested that to convert the signed documents to different formats.\nHow Do I Convert Documents Online?

We constantly strive to improve our products and because of that, we try to keep up with the latest trends and best practices, not always an easy thing. But that doesn’t apply only to our front end department of course. Each and every one of us is trying to improve his skills and is eager to try different techniques that could result in better and more optimal outcomes. One of GroupDocs designers recently told me he had been experimenting with web icon fonts and he asked me to help him with web implementation and testing to see if his efforts would bear fruit. I thought it was a good opportunity to share things with others on that matter since we had pretty good results.\nWays to implement web icon fonts in your markup Before I talk about browser support I feel I should explain how the web implementation goes here. Since we\u0026rsquo;re using an actual font file, we implement it in the same way as any other custom web font. The created font is exported into a few different font formats and then we import those files using CSS. This is necessary because browser vendors support different formats, so we need our custom font in the following formats: EOT, TTF, WOFF, SVG. There are plenty of online tools that can do this for us so simply search on the web for that kind of tool. Something like fontsquirrel.com/, for example.\nHow to implement it in our markup I\u0026rsquo;ve researched how other developers are doing this and two ways stood out from the rest. Selecting the icon we want to use on an element either by using its own CSS class, or by inserting its corresponding font character into the data attribute.\n\u0026lt;span aria-hidden=\u0026#34;true\u0026#34;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt; .test-icon:before { content: \u0026#34;\\\\61\u0026#34;; } \u0026lt;div class=\u0026#34;icon-large-blue\u0026#34; aria-hidden=\u0026#34;true\u0026#34; data-icon=\u0026#34;a\u0026#34;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/div\u0026gt; \\\\\\[data-icon\\\\\\]:before { content: attr(data-icon); Which approach is best? Well, each is better then the other depending on the situation. The only thing I can say for sure is that the first approach is slightly faster because it doesn\u0026rsquo;t rely on a data attribute, but only on the content CSS3 property. Let\u0026rsquo;s assume that we don\u0026rsquo;t need additional styling on the icon we want to use. In this case I feel that the first example is the most efficient way to do it. First of all we use only one attribute, second we use the class as a selector which is faster then using the [data] selector. Also, we use a direct value in the content property of the selector content: \u0026ldquo;\\61\u0026rdquo;; which is again faster then the content: attr(data-icon); approach. Now let’s say we want to use the same icon, but we want to change its color and size so it sits better with the current look of our design. Well, from my standpoint, using dedicated classes for styling changes like these is the best approach, but that increases the number the class names used on the element. In cases like these I personally prefer to use the second example. Doing so we still avoid using actual characters inside the DOM element a and we achieve the desired result. There are plenty of other good ways to implement web icon fonts in your markup and CSS, so don\u0026rsquo;t be afraid to experiment until you feel satisfied with the results. Also keep in mind that it really comes down to the project needs and what the design will look like.\nBrowser support This method is supported in almost all browsers you should care about, the only problem is if you\u0026rsquo;re supporting IE7 and below. But a few lines of JavaScript can fix this for us, so you don\u0026rsquo;t need to be bothered by this. In GroupDocs, we plan to use this feature by creating at least two versions of the font: one for smaller icon sizes, like 20x20 pixels, and one for larger version of the icons, something around 50x50. Why? Because we have several places on the site where we use the same icons, but with different sizes, depending on the page design and content structure. For example, you\u0026rsquo;ll see big icons for each of GroupDocs app on the home page: https://groupdocs.com/ And then you\u0026rsquo;ll see the same icons, but in smaller size, on other page of the site. They\u0026rsquo;re located in the right vertical navigation on the right side of the banner here: https://groupdocs.com/developer/dot-net\nExamples of using web icon fonts Rendering results with Google Chrome. Rendering results with Internet Explorer 8 From what I\u0026rsquo;ve seen in my tests on different browsers, vector graphics with average sizes don\u0026rsquo;t render well when they\u0026rsquo;re shrunk down. Modern browsers such as Chrome, Safari and Firefox handles this well, but that\u0026rsquo;s due to the more advanced antialiasing algorithms they use for text rendering. You can really see a notable difference in older browsers such as IE7 and IE8. Things are getting messy in there. So we either go with multiple fonts for dealing with this issue or we just make a font with small icons and keep increasing the size of the font until necessary, or until things start to look odd. Again it really comes down to the needs of the project so you should set your priorities first and try to find the most optimal solution which fits your needs the best. What will we gain by switching to this method of creating icons on the GroupDocs site?\nFirst, we won\u0026rsquo;t stop using sprites completely, but we\u0026rsquo;ll discard some of our sprites and combine the icons used there in one, maybe two, font files. Also, we\u0026rsquo;ll optimize the space in our main sprite and decrease its initial file size. This will give us the freedom to change icons color, size or adding other CSS styling (like text shadow) to them on the fly. That\u0026rsquo;s due the potential that vector graphics offer. We reduce development time since we don\u0026rsquo;t have to update sprites constantly and we won\u0026rsquo;t lose time on graphic optimizations anymore. But keep in mind that like everything else in our life there are good and bad parts. This is a font, so all the graphics in it are monochromatic and your icons will be too. There is info on the web that this could result in worse user experience, even more for screen readers. You can try avoiding such complications by using the :before pseudo class, setting the speak property to none, or setting the aria-hidden=\u0026ldquo;true\u0026rdquo; element. The best way is to use all of these tricks. Place the aria-hidden attribute on the HTML element, put the value of the content property in a selector with a :before pseudo class like in my earlier examples, and then set speak: none; in the main selector CSS styles. Something like this:\n\u0026lt;span aria-hidden=\u0026#34;true\u0026#34;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt; .test-icon { speak: none; } .test-icon:before { content: \u0026#34;\\\\61\u0026#34;; } Again there is no guarantee that this won\u0026rsquo;t hurt the experience when using screen reader, but it\u0026rsquo;s something. And of course, like any other font, you cannot expect it to look exactly the same across all browsers like an image would, but this effect can be reduced to a minimum with some extra CSS for font rendering.\nHow to make custom fonts It is best to consult with a professional graphical designer on that matter. I personally played a bit with icomoon.io and I\u0026rsquo;m pleased with the results it gave me. It gives you auto generation of all necessary font file formats, the icons CSS styles and also a good way for IE7 support. But there might be a lot more and different ways out there that may fit your needs better, so you should do your own research.\nConclusion I personally like the idea of using web icon fonts in projects where possible and when the project\u0026rsquo;s designer is hyped for the idea as much as me. It offers great flexibility and performance gains for the project and of course it\u0026rsquo;s more fun to use new techniques.

I\u0026rsquo;ve experience with a lot of different types of effects. From the credits at the end of a TV show, subtitles, and karaoke effects. The last type, that I still work with, are the CSS3 animations which are now one of the most used trend to achieve effects and interactivity on the modern web. About half an year ago I was assigned to a project with a lot of complex and long animations. And of course, the client wanted everything to be created with CSS3 animations. This is when I discovered the GreenSock Animation Platform. I was pleasantly surprised by the potential of this framework.\nGSAP JS Introduction In short, this framework is focused on giving an easy, effective and powerful way for creating rich animations, as well as dynamic and creative web interfaces. The framework was developed for Action Script 2 (AS2), but later on it was extended for AS3 and - last but not least - a little over a year ago, Front End developers received the pleasant news that GSAP now has a version for JavaScript as well. The magic wand that Flash developers were wielding with passion and confidence can now be used by Front End developers. It\u0026rsquo;s a great assistant in modern web development where CSS3 animations have become an inseparable part from interactive web applications and even more necessary in marketing websites where a lot of \u0026ldquo;flashiness\u0026rdquo; and rich animations are required. That\u0026rsquo;s enough introduction: lets move to the real part.\nWhy this is the best framework in its field of expertise? What are the good points of it? The syntax is pretty straight forward and really easy to learn and use. It saves you a lot of development time. It offers cross-browser support for all major browsers, even IE8 (at least most of it). Incredibly fast performance and small file size for what you can achieve with it. Framework independent, it\u0026rsquo;s written in clean and classic JavaScript. No jQuery or mootools are necesesary. It\u0026rsquo;s free for non-commercial projects. There is plenty of documentation and tutorials on the official website - https://greensock.com/docs. I can point out other big pluses of the framework, but we\u0026rsquo;ll stick to the major ones which should be enough to show how amazing this piece of software is. Let me break down the points above in a more detailed and augmented way. Before I start with some GroupDocs related code examples, it is very important to explain the main concept behind the framework idea. Described as simply as possible, what the framework does is change an object\u0026rsquo;s property from one value to another.\nGroupDocs Code examples Live example: https://codepen.io/dwigga/pen/EmKro For these examples we\u0026rsquo;re going to use some of the images from the official GroupDocs website:\nTweenLite.to( \u0026#39;logo\u0026#39;, 1.5, {width: 286} ); This line of code animates the width of a image from 0 to 286 pixels. A quick description of the code:\nTweenLite - the tween object. .to()- the object method which receives the 3 required parameters: Param 1 - The object we\u0026rsquo;re going to animate, in our case \u0026ldquo;logo\u0026rdquo;. (String.)\nParam 2: The duration of the tween (in seconds). In our case, the tween will last for second and a half. (Number.)\nParam 3: The properties of the object (the element) we want to animate. We wrap up the properties in object brackets and separate them with commas (Object):\n{property1: value, property2: value} Heads up for this code example Notice exactly how I wrote the object: \u0026rsquo;logo\u0026rsquo; Now in a normal JS context, writing the selector name this way would be invalid, because the object should be either assigned to a variable before that point, or simply using document.getElementById(\u0026rsquo;logo\u0026rsquo;) does the job. Or in case we want to use jQuery, we should wrap it in a jQuery selector block like: $(\u0026rsquo;#logo\u0026rsquo;). Now the reason that I\u0026rsquo;m listing all of those variants is because all of them actually work in the same way, regardless of which one we decide to use. So all of the lines below work exactly the same.\nTweenLite.to( \u0026#39;logo\u0026#39;, 1.5, {width: 236} ); TweenLite.to( \u0026#39;#logo\u0026#39;, 1.5, {width: 236} ); TweenLite.to( document.getElementById(\u0026#39;logo\u0026#39;), 1.5, {width: 236} ); TweenLite.to( $(\u0026#39;#logo\u0026#39;), 1.5, {width: 236} ); Here is a breakdown of what actually happens when the GreenSock Animation Platform executes the very first line of code from the four above:\nIf the object\u0026rsquo;s type isn\u0026rsquo;t defined in the code, GSAP automatically checks if any of the popular JS frameworks are already loaded, such as window.$ or window.jQuery. If neither is found it falls back to the default JS ID selector - document.getElementById(). This means you\u0026rsquo;re free to use any engine selector you want or are already using. The only drawback of not declaring the exact object type is a very small performance cost. But that should be raising concerns only when you\u0026rsquo;re animating a HUGE number of objects at the same time and of the same name.\nThe other thing I want to point out in this example is that we\u0026rsquo;re animating the default width property of the IMG element in HTML, not its CSS property. The main reason I\u0026rsquo;m doing this is because I want to highlight that you can tween any property of any DOM element, custom or default object you have. Even Canvas! That\u0026rsquo;s as awesome as it gets!\nBut lets take a look at more advanced tweens involving CSS changes by extending the last example.Live example: https://codepen.io/dwigga/pen/wcBhl TweenLite.to( logo, 1.5, {width: 236} ); TweenMax.to( logo, 1, {x: 500, rotation: 360, delay: 1.5, ease: Expo.easeIn} ); TweenMax.to( logo, 1, {transformOrigin: \u0026#39;0 50%\u0026#39;, rotation: 335, delay: 3, ease: Back.easeIn} ); TweenMax.to( logo, 1, {rotation: 440, delay: 4, ease: Back.easeInOut} ); TweenMax.to( logo, 1, {rotation: 450, delay: 5, ease: Power3.easeIn, yoyo: true, repeat: -1} ); The first thing you\u0026rsquo;ll probably ask is: \u0026ldquo;Why is TweenMax used here?\u0026rdquo; The GreenSock Animation Platform has 2 versions. TweenLite is the slim one. It has the tools necessary for dealing with simple animations. If our main focus is performance and file size we should use this version. The other, more advanced version of the framework, is TweenMax, TweenLite\u0026rsquo;s big beefy brother. It\u0026rsquo;s the same thing, but it gives us many more options to play with and it loads the most used and popular plugins for GSAP automatically. If we want to tween CSS properties we need the CSSPlugin plugin to be loaded. Using TweenMax will do that for us. In this example I\u0026rsquo;m using five tweens in total. I\u0026rsquo;ll describe what they\u0026rsquo;re doing:\nThe first tween does the same as in the first example, increasing the image\u0026rsquo;s width. The second tween moves the image to the right and rotates it in a full 360 degree motion with some extra easing for better visual effect. The third one its rotating the image\u0026rsquo;s right end only thanks to the transformOrigin: \u0026lsquo;0 50%\u0026rsquo; property. The Fourth one is doing the same thing as the previous but in the opposite direction and it leaves the image in a vertical position. And the last one simply loops the animation, rotating the image by 10 pixels in both directions endlessly. I won\u0026rsquo;t go in further details with this example, but you can see what those properties are about and much, much more on the GreenSock Docs. Why does this save development time? I want to explain why this framework reduces development time so much. We have to keep in mind that CSS3 is still not fully supported across all major browser vendors and most of them still use their own vendor prefixes for most CSS3 properties (for example webkit, moz, o, or ms). If we write CSS3 animations in the standard way, by writing CSS3 directly, we need to copy this code many times as necessary and use the browser vendor prefixes so that the code works on all major browsers. Just a quick example of what I\u0026rsquo;m talking about:\ntransform: translate(700px, 0); Without using prefixes this works only in the latest versions of webkit based browsers and Firefox. But we can make this work on older versions as well, if we use the vendor prefixes. For example, for Webkit based browsers:\ntransform: translate(700px, 0); -webkit-transform: translate(700px, 0); Now if we want to enable support for older Firefox versions, we need to duplicate the code once more:\ntransform: translate(700px, 0); -webkit-transform: translate(700px, 0); -moz-transform: translate(700px, 0); And we need to continue doing this until we have included the prefixes for all popular browsers on the market. That\u0026rsquo;s why the GreenSock Animation Platform saves a lot of development time: you write the tween and GSAP does the rest. It checks what the current browser and version is, and adds all of the necessary prefixes.\nSo it\u0026rsquo;s fast, huh? I\u0026rsquo;ve mentioned that its fast. But how fast is it? Well, super fast. In fact, 20 times faster then jQuery and mootools. You can see the difference yourself here: https://www.greensock.com/js/speed.html Again this is the official website of the framework: GreenSock And the full official documentation for it: https://greensock.com/docs\nConclusion As my final thoughts for GSAP I can honestly say that the guys involved in the creation of GreenSock have done a wonderful job. That\u0026rsquo;s a life time achievement. The framework is fast, effective, small, OOP friendly and gives developers everything they can wish for when doing web animations. The best part is that the JavaScript version of it is updated very frequently and a lot of new cools things will be coming up in the future.

To the end of show_listfunction, add: ``` bindEvents($target); ``` And here is the bind events function: ``` var bindEvents = function($target) { $target.find('li a').bind('click', function(){ if( $(this).parent().hasClass('directory') ) { if( $(this).parent().hasClass('collapsed') ) { // Expand $(this).parent().find('ul').remove(); // cleanup getStructure( $(this).parent(), $(this).attr('rel') ); $(this).parent().removeClass('collapsed').addClass('expanded'); } else { // Collapse $(this).parent().find('ul').slideUp(500); $(this).parent().removeClass('expanded').addClass('collapsed'); } } else { console.log($(this).attr('rel')); } return false; }) } ``` You can add CSS and images to your own taste.

To get all changes from the compared document, we need only one method: GetChanges (from the ComparisonApi class). This method take two parameters:\nString Client ID String File GUID of the compared file Method call code:\n$info = $CompareApi-\u0026gt;GetChanges($clientId, $resultFileId); In the query result this method returns a ChangesResponse object that contains all the changes.\nCreating a table of changes To create a table with a list of changes we must use several nested loops and checks. These loops go over all the elements and checks whether each element is an object or not. If an element is an object, the next nested loop for this element runs. As a result of the nested loops we get a table with all the changes were each successive iteration of the main loop is in separate rows. Code for the table creation:\n//###Create table with changes for template $table = \u0026#34;\u0026lt;table class=\u0026#39;border\u0026#39;\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; $table .= \u0026#34;\u0026lt;tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;font color=\u0026#39;green\u0026#39;\u0026gt;Change Name\u0026lt;/font\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;font color=\u0026#39;green\u0026#39;\u0026gt;Change\u0026lt;/font\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/tr\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; //Count of iterations for($i = 0; $i \u0026lt; count($info-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;changes); $i++) { //Cycle for the object of the top level foreach($info-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;changes\\[$i\\] as $name =\u0026gt; $content){ $table .= \u0026#34;\u0026lt;tr\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; //Check if the current element is an object if(is\\_object($content)){ //If object make cycle for the current object foreach($content as $subName =\u0026gt; $subContent) { $table .= \u0026#34;\u0026lt;tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026#34; . $subName . \u0026#34;\u0026lt;/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026#34; . $subContent . \u0026#34;\u0026lt;/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/tr\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; } } elseif(!is\\_object($content)) { //Get current element data $table .= \u0026#34;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026#34; . $name . \u0026#34;\u0026lt;/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026#34; . $content . \u0026#34;\u0026lt;/td\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; $table .= \u0026#34;\u0026lt;/tr\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; } } $table .= \u0026#34;\u0026lt;tr bgcolor=\u0026#39;#808080\u0026#39;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/tr\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; } $table .= \u0026#34;\u0026lt;/table\u0026gt;\u0026#34;; As you can see, we only have two nested loops. This is due to the fact that the ChangesResponse object can\u0026rsquo;t have more than two-tiered nesting. On the first level, we have all the basic changes, and on the second level, we have info about the rectangle element. Now it is time to return this table to the template.\nDisplaying the changes on screen Transferring data to template:\ntry { getChanges($clientId, $privateKey, $resultFileId); } catch(Exception $e) { $error = \u0026#39;ERROR: \u0026#39; . $e-\u0026gt;getMessage() . \u0026#34;\\\\n\u0026#34;; f3::set(\u0026#39;error\u0026#39;, $error); } //Process template f3::set(\u0026#39;resultFileId\u0026#39;, $resultFileId); // f3::set(\u0026#39;result\u0026#39;, $result); echo Template::serve(\u0026#39;sample.htm\u0026#39;); Screenshots Below are screenshots of how it looks in action.

FatFree framework (https://github.com/bcosca/fatfree) We already know how to install the Fatfree framework and prepare for creating the sample from a previous article. The sample that we create in this article is not much different from other FatFree samples. We need a template file with a form and a controller file to process any entered data.\nLogic For security reasons the GroupDocs plugins and services use the User ID and API key to authorize a GroupDocs account from remote plugins. But this method is not comfortable for users which is why the new SDK release added a new method called LoginUser. With this method a user can be authorized in GroupDocs using email and password like in normal account authorization. As you\u0026rsquo;ve already guessed, this method takes two parameters:\nString email String password So according to this all we need to do is take this data from a form and transfer it to the method. In response, the method returns all user info, including the User ID and API key. To use the method we need to use a little trick. To call the LoginUser method, as for all other methods, we have to create and object of the class that contains the method. So we have to create objects like GroupDocsRequestSigner and ApiClient. But to create these objects, don\u0026rsquo;t we need the User ID and API key? Yes, but we can avoid using them and the trick is in that the User ID and API key is needed to sign a request to the server, but LoginUser is a public method which doesn\u0026rsquo;t need to be signed. So we can create GroupDocsRequestSigner and ApiClient objects with any data instead of the User ID and API key. For example, let\u0026rsquo;s use the string \u0026ldquo;12345\u0026rdquo;.\nImplementation The template file is the same as in the article about two ways of updating files to GroupDocs accounts. Because of this, I will not explain the template file but go straight to the Controller file where all the magic happens. Here is a sample of the code:\n//###Set variables and get POST data F3::set(\u0026#39;email\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;password\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); $email = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;email\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $pass = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;password\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); //Create signer object $signer = new GroupDocsRequestSigner(\u0026#34;12345\u0026#34;); //Create apiClient object $apiClient = new APIClient($signer); $sharedapi = new SharedApi($apiClient); //Login and get user info $getUserInfo = $sharedapi-\u0026gt;LoginUser($email, $pass); In this code we get POST data from the form where the user enters the email and password for his GroupDocs account. Them we create the GroupDocsRequestSigner and ApiClient objects using \u0026ldquo;12345\u0026rdquo; instead of the API key and SharedApi object to get access to the LoginUser method. In response we get the UserInfoResponse object. This object has all the data about the user account. We are interested in the User ID and API key because we need them to work with GroupDocs data in the account. That\u0026rsquo;s the entire reason we used the LoginUser method: to get these two parameters. We have all the the account data and from this, we can get the User ID and API key like this:\n$userId = $getUserInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;user-\u0026gt;guid; $apiKey = $getUserInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;user-\u0026gt;pkey; The UserInfoResponse object has this structure: [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_2418\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;alignnone\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;602\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;The structure of the UserInfoResponse object\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption] That\u0026rsquo;s all.

But sometimes our project requires additional extensions that do not exist in the Heroku PHP configuration. So we need to find out how to create and install extensions for PHP on Heroku.\nIn this post, I\u0026rsquo;ll show you these advanced steps, and create a PHP project on Heroku with the GroupDocs PHP SDK Api Samples application.\nPreparation All required preparation are described in previous article. Also, we need two PHP extensions such as Curl and Sockets that are used in our PHP Samples application.\nBuild an extension on Heroku. This can be done by opening a Heroku console, download the PHP source-code and compile the extension, then copying it over.\nTo create the Curl extension:\nOpen console and cd to root folder of your API. \u0026gt;heroku run bash $ mkdir tmp $cd tmp git clonehttps://github.com/php/php-src.git $cd php-src $ cd ext/curl $ /app/php/bin/phpize $ ./configure \u0026ndash;with-php-config=/app/php/bin/php-config $ make $ cd modules To create the Sockets extension, take the same steps.\nDon\u0026rsquo;t close the console. We will use it for the next steps.\nDownload lib from Heroku. Now we have compiled the extension, but this file is on the Heroku server and we need it in our API.\nTo get the file from the server and add it to the API, we can create an empty repo on GitHub and clone it to the temp folder in which we compile the extension. Then copy the extension file and push it to GitHub. After that, you can download it from GitHub to the lib folder and push it to Heroku.\nLets see this logic in practical steps by adding the Curl extension:\nIn the mudel folder, $ ssh-keygen -t rsa $ cat /app/.ssh/id_rsa.pub\nThis command shows your ssh key file content in the console. Copy it. Add your SSH key to GitHub. $ git clone yourreposshurl $ mv curl.so cloned folder name $ cd cloned folder $ git add . $ git commit -m \u0026ldquo;adding extension\u0026rdquo; $ git push origin master $ exit Now we have our extension file in the GitHub repository and we can download it.\nTo add the Sockets extension, take the same steps.\nAdd lib and php.ini file to your app and upload them to Heroku In the root folder of the API, create a lib folder and save the downloaded file there. And there\u0026rsquo;s only one thing left to do: create a php.ini file in the root folder of the API that points to that extension. The changes are committed. To do all this open console and:\ncd to the API root folder \u0026gt;mkdir lib cd to the folder where the downloaded extension folder is. \u0026gt;mv curl.so rootfolderapi/lib cd to the API root folder. $ echo extension = /app/www/lib/curl.so \u0026gt; php.ini $ git add . $ git commit -m \u0026ldquo;adding extension\u0026rdquo; $ git push origin master That\u0026rsquo;s all, your new PHP application is ready to use on Heroku.

Originally created for Ruby projects, Heroku now supports Ruby, Java, Python and even PHP.

You can check out our previous posts to find information on how to do this, for example, How to use GroupDocs PHP SDK with Composer or a Built-in Autoloader.\nCreating a Heroku project To create a Heroku project, create a local repository with git (the example below assumes that you have Heroku toolbelt installed).\n$ cd api-samples $ git init $ heroku create yourapplicationname Note that in some guides, you might see the option -stack cedar in the heroku create command. This option is not required anymore. -stack cedar is now the default for new apps on Heroku.\nIf you\u0026rsquo;ve done everything correctly, Heroku creates a new application and adds a new remote (with the same name – heroku) to your local repository. You can check this with the command:\n$ git remote \u0026ndash;v\nYou should see Heroku remote records with remote URLs for pull and push.\nNow you can push your local repository to Heroku:\n$ git push heroku master All your commits from the local repository are pushed to Heroku. Heroku detects the type of your application – PHP project in our case – and starts the appropriate server to host the app.\nIf you use only standard PHP libraries, you can immediately start working with your new application on Heroku:\n$ heroku apps open But if your project/app requires a non-standard library (like the PHP API samples project), then you\u0026rsquo;ll have problems with Heroku if you try to use it immediately. To be able to use such extensions, you need to perform additional steps:\nBuild an extension on Heroku. Download lib from Heroku. Add lib and php.ini file to your app and upload them to Heroku.

First of all, we get all the data transfered from the form by POST to the controller. This block of code does that:\n// ### Set variables and get POST data F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); $clientId = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;client\\_id\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $privateKey = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;private\\_key\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); As you can see, we use the Fatfree method F3::set to initially set the template variables and then the F3::get method to get the posted data. We have all necessary data to create API objects; the rest of the data we will get later. Let\u0026rsquo;s create a function that takes this data, checks it and does the rest of the magic. The function is called mergeFields and a definition looks like this: function mergeFields($clientId, $privateKey). The mergeFields function takes two parameters - client ID and private key. This data is most important because without it, we can\u0026rsquo;t send a request to the API. That\u0026rsquo;s why we check that it\u0026rsquo;s been entered with this code:\nif (empty($clientId) || empty($privateKey)) { throw new Exception(\u0026#39;Please enter FILE ID\u0026#39;); } else { F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, $clientId); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, $privateKey); Then, if the client ID and private key have been entered we proceed with API objects creation. I expect you already know how to do this. Next, we check whether the user wants to upload a local file, one from the web, or a file already in the GroupDocs account. We can work with documents through the file GUID. We dont have this data, but that\u0026rsquo;s not a problem - lets get it. Simply use the Fatfree method F3::get to get the client ID and private key. Get the rest of the data:\n//Get entered by user data $url = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;url\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $file = $\\_FILES\\[\u0026#39;file\u0026#39;\\]; $fileId = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;fileId\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); Since this data are simple strings - with the exception of $file - check which of them are chosen by elementary verification on an empty string: if ($url != \u0026ldquo;\u0026rdquo;) or if ($fileId != \u0026ldquo;\u0026rdquo;). If you wonder what to do if a user selects to upload a local file, how to check it. It\u0026rsquo;s not a problem. In the global variable which consist of the local file we have an array of file data such as file name, temp name and file content. To check if a user has selected a local file, simply check if the file name is empty. This array field consist of string data and we can check it for empty string: if ($_FILES[\u0026lsquo;file\u0026rsquo;][\u0026ldquo;name\u0026rdquo;] != \u0026ldquo;\u0026rdquo;). According to which check returns \u0026ldquo;true\u0026rdquo;, we know whether to use an entered file GUID or upload a file in three different ways. How to do this you can read in last weeks post: Two ways to upload files. The most interesting part, and culmination of this example, is to get the field from template DOCX file and merge them to a PDF file. To do this, we need this GroupDocs PHP SDK methods:\nFrom DocApi GetTemplateFields From MergeApi AddDataSource and MergeDatasource From AsyncApi GetJobDocuments And from StorageApi GetFile First, let\u0026rsquo;s take a look at the code which will do all this work and use our methods:\n//Get fields from template $fields = $docApi-\u0026gt;GetTemplateFields($clientId, $fileGuId); //Check status if ($fields-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //Create new Datasource object $dataSource = new Datasource(); //Create empty array $array = array(); //Loop for fields creataion for ($i = 0; $i \u0026lt; count($fields-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;fields); $i++) { //Create new DatasourceField object $field = new DatasourceField(); //Set DatasourceFiled data $field-\u0026gt;name = $fields-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;fields\\[$i\\]-\u0026gt;name; $field-\u0026gt;type = \u0026#34;text\u0026#34;; $field-\u0026gt;values = array(\u0026#34;value1\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;value2\u0026#34;); //Push DatasourceField to array array\\_push($array, $field); } //Set array feilds array to the Datasourc $dataSource-\u0026gt;fields = $array; //Add Datasource to GroupDocs $addDataSource = $mergApi-\u0026gt;AddDataSource($clientId, $dataSource); //Check status if ($addDataSource-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //If status ok merge Datasource to new pdf file $job = $mergApi-\u0026gt;MergeDatasource($clientId, $fileGuId, $addDataSource-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;datasource\\_id, \u0026#34;pdf\u0026#34;, null); //Check status if ($job-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //### Check job status for ($n = 0; $n \u0026lt;= 5; $n++) { //Delay necessary that the inquiry would manage to be processed sleep(5); //Make request to api for get document info by job id $jobInfo = $api-\u0026gt;GetJobDocuments($clientId, $job-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_id); //Check job status, if status is Completed or Archived exit from cycle if ($jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_status == \u0026#34;Completed\u0026#34; || $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_status == \u0026#34;Archived\u0026#34;) { break; //If job status Postponed throw exception with error } elseif ($jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_status == \u0026#34;Postponed\u0026#34;) { throw new Exception(\u0026#34;Job is failed\u0026#34;); } } //Get file guid $guid = $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;inputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;outputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;guid; //Get file name $name = $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;inputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;outputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;name; //Local path to the downloads folder $downloadFolder = dirname(\\_\\_FILE\\_\\_). \u0026#39;/../downloads\u0026#39;; //Check is folder exist if (!file\\_exists($downloadFolder)) { //If folder don\u0026#39;t exist create it mkdir($downloadFolder); } //Obtaining file stream of downloading file and definition of folder where to download file $outFileStream = FileStream::fromHttp($downloadFolder, $name); //Download file from GroupDocs. $download = $apiStorage-\u0026gt;GetFile($clientId, $guid, $outFileStream); The logic is simple.\nFirst, we get all the fields from the template DOCX file with the GetTemplateFields method. It takes the parameters client ID and template DOCX file GUID. The method returns an object with fields. Now, create a DataSource object in which one of the parameters is a DataSourceFields array which we must create. We will put the field we get from template DOCX file into this array. This action occurs in this peace of code: //Create empty array $array = array(); //Loop for fields creataion for ($i = 0; $i \u0026lt; count($fields-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;fields); $i++) { //Create new DatasourceField object $field = new DatasourceField(); //Set DatasourceFiled data $field-\u0026gt;name = $fields-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;fields\\[$i\\]-\u0026gt;name; $field-\u0026gt;type = \u0026#34;text\u0026#34;; $field-\u0026gt;values = array(\u0026#34;value1\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;value2\u0026#34;); //Push DatasourceField to array array\\_push($array, $field); } //Set array feilds array to the Datasourc $dataSource-\u0026gt;fields = $array; As you can see, the DataSourceFields object has a values parameter. Into this parameter we put an array of strings or only string which will be added to the field as content.\nAfter creating the DataSource object, the next step is to add DataSource to GroupDocs for the convertion to PDF. This trick can be done as follows: //Add Datasource to GroupDocs $addDataSource = $mergApi-\u0026gt;AddDataSource($clientId, $dataSource); In response to this we get the datasource ID by which we can both merge it and convert to PDF, thus killing two birds with one stone.\nTake the client ID, datasource ID, the original DOCX file GUID and put all of this into the MergeDatasource method. This request in code: $job = $mergApi-\u0026gt;MergeDatasource($clientId, $fileGuId, $addDataSource-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;datasource\\_id, \u0026#34;pdf\u0026#34;, null); As you see, one of the input parameters is a string with type of the result file. When the API gets this request, it creates a new PDF file with merged fields. Phew, we merged our fields to a new PDF file and now we can download it and see it in an iframe. The MergeDatasource method returns Job id using which in the GetJobDocuments method we get all the info about the new PDF file that we need, such is GUID and name.\nTo download it, create a FileStream which contains a local path for downloading the file: //Obtaining file stream of downloading file and definition of folder where to download file $outFileStream = FileStream::fromHttp($downloadFolder, $name); After that use the GetFile method to download it: $download = $apiStorage-\u0026gt;GetFile($clientId, $guid, $outFileStream); You already know how to generate an iframe. The only thing left is to call our function and return the new PDF file GUID to the template to show in the browser as an iframe. You already know how to do this too, if you\u0026rsquo;ve followed this article series. And we\u0026rsquo;re done!\nScreenshots Here are two screenshots that show the input form and the output file so you can see the process in action.\nThe input form\rThe output PDF\r","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/merger/how-to-merge-data-fields-from-a-docx-file-with-a-data-source-and-output-to-pdf/","summary":"This article explains how to get the fields from a template DOCX file, fill them with data and merge to new PDF file using GroupDocs.\nRequirements PHP 5.3 Apache ModRewrite PHP Curl extension PHP Sockets extension (php_sockets.dll) GroupDocs PHP SDK composer.phar (Download from http://getcomposer.org/download/ or use the included version.)

FatFree framework (https://github.com/bcosca/fatfree) We already know how to install the Fatfree framework and prepare for creating the sample from the previous article. So lets start with the magic.\nTheory Upload local file To upload a local file we need an actual file. You can view many types to word processing documents (DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, ODT), presentations (PPT, PPTX), spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX), portable files (PDF), and image files (JPG, BMP, GIF, TIFF). From GroupDocs PHP SDK we will need the following methods:\nUpload FileStream::fromFile The template is simply an HTML form of the \u0026ldquo;multipart/form-data\u0026rdquo; type. This form sends date entered by the user (the client ID, private key and local file data) to the controller. The controller, in turn, gets the data, prepares it for an API request, makes the API request and receives the upload results from the API with info about the uploaded file.\nUpload file from web If you think this is going to be complicated, I have to disappoint you. With GroupDocs PHP SDK it\u0026rsquo;s really simple than upload a local file. To upload a file from the web, we need a direct link to the file. Everything else is the same as when uploading a local file, with the exception of the upload method. To do this trick we need only one method: uploadWeb. The logic of web uploading is the same as for local file upload. Since the logic is the same we\u0026rsquo;ll use same template and controller.\nPractice As before, create a template file in the template folder and a controller file in the inc_samples folder.\nTemplate file code \u0026lt;!DOCTYPE html\u0026gt;

This is a simple HTML document with JavaScript. To select the file source (local or web) we\u0026rsquo;ve added a switch:\n\u0026lt;input type=\u0026#34;radio\u0026#34; name=\u0026#34;sourse\u0026#34; value=\u0026#34;local\u0026#34; id=\u0026#34;localField\u0026#34; onClick=\u0026#34;display(\u0026#39;local\u0026#39;);\u0026#34; \u0026gt;Upload local file \u0026lt;/input\u0026gt; This switch calls the JavaScript function display. This function receives one parameter which specifies the source of the file: local or web. Where local = upload local file and url = upload file from web. Toggling the switch displays the corresponding input field. OK, it\u0026rsquo;s clear how the template works - it\u0026rsquo;s simple enough. Let\u0026rsquo;s take a look at the controller.\nController code //###Set variables and get POST data F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); $clientId = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;client\\_id\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $privateKey = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;private\\_key\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $width = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;width\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $height = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;height\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); function upload($clientId, $privateKey, $width=\u0026#39;400\u0026#39;, $height=\u0026#39;650\u0026#39;) { //###Check fileGuId if (empty($clientId) || empty($privateKey)) { throw new Exception(\u0026#39;Please enter all required parameters\u0026#39;); } else { F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, $clientId); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, $privateKey); //Get base path $basePath = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;server\\_type\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); //Get entered by user data $fileGuId = \u0026#34;\u0026#34;; $url = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;url\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $file = $\\_FILES\\[\u0026#39;file\u0026#39;\\]; //###Create Signer, ApiClient and Storage Api objects //Create signer object $signer = new GroupDocsRequestSigner($privateKey); //Create apiClient object $apiClient = new APIClient($signer); //Create Storage Api object $api = new StorageApi($apiClient); //Check if user choose upload file from URL if ($url != \u0026#34;\u0026#34;) { //Upload file from URL $uploadResult = $api-\u0026gt;UploadWeb($clientId, $url); //Check is file uploaded if ($uploadResult-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //Get file GUID $fileGuId = $uploadResult-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;guid; //If it isn\u0026#39;t uploaded throw exception to template } else { throw new Exception($uploadResult-\u0026gt;error\\_message); } } //Check is user choose upload local file if ($\\_FILES\\[\u0026#39;file\u0026#39;\\]\\[\u0026#34;name\u0026#34;\\] != \u0026#34;\u0026#34;) { //Temp name of the file $tmp\\_name = $file\\[\u0026#39;tmp\\_name\u0026#39;\\]; //Original name of the file $name = $file\\[\u0026#39;name\u0026#39;\\]; //Creat file stream $fs = FileStream::fromFile($tmp\\_name); //###Make a request to Storage API using clientId //Upload file to current user storage $uploadResult = $api-\u0026gt;Upload($clientId, $name, \u0026#39;uploaded\u0026#39;, \u0026#34;\u0026#34;, $fs); //###Check if file uploaded successfully if ($uploadResult-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //Get file GUID $fileGuId = $uploadResult-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;guid; //If it isn\u0026#39;t uploaded throw exception to template } else { throw new Exception($uploadResult-\u0026gt;error\\_message); } } //Generation of iframe URL using fileGuId $iframe = \u0026#39;http://apps.groupdocs.com/document-viewer/embed/\u0026#39; . $fileGuId . \u0026#39;?frameborder=\u0026#34;0\u0026#34; width=\u0026#39; . $width . \u0026#39;height=\u0026#39; . $height; //If request was successfull - set url variable for template f3::set(\u0026#39;fileId\u0026#39;, $fileGuId); return f3::set(\u0026#39;url\u0026#39;, $iframe); } } try { upload($clientId, $privateKey, $width, $height); } catch(Exception $e) { $error = \u0026#39;ERROR: \u0026#39; . $e-\u0026gt;getMessage() . \u0026#34;\\\\n\u0026#34;; f3::set(\u0026#39;error\u0026#39;, $error); } //Process template F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, $clientId); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, $privateKey); F3::set(\u0026#39;width\u0026#39;, $width); F3::set(\u0026#39;height\u0026#39;, $height); echo Template::serve(\u0026#39;template.htm\u0026#39;); Now let\u0026rsquo;s analyze the blocks of code we have here.\nF3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); $clientId = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;client\\_id\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $privateKey = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;private\\_key\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $width = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;width\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $height = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;height\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); In this block we get the data from the form transfered by the POST method with the Fatfree method F3::get which gives access to the global arrays such as POST, GET, FILE and SERVER. When we have collected the entered data, we can create a function which will do the job and we will have the ability to check every steps and get errors if there are any. Our function will get four parameters: client ID, private key, width and height (we need width and height for the iframe that will show the uploaded file).\nfunction upload($clientId, $privateKey, $width=\u0026#39;400\u0026#39;, $height=\u0026#39;650\u0026#39;) First of all, we must check whether the client ID and private key are entered. Without this data we can\u0026rsquo;t do anything. Check it with this code:\nif (empty($clientId) || empty($privateKey)) { throw new Exception(\u0026#39;Please enter all required parameters\u0026#39;); If we have this data, we can proceed to the next code block:\nF3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, $clientId); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, $privateKey) //Get base path $basePath = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;server\\_type\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); //Get entered by user data $fileGuId = \u0026#34;\u0026#34;; $url = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;url\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $file = $\\_FILES\\[\u0026#39;file\u0026#39;\\]; //###Create Signer, ApiClient and Storage Api objects Here we set user data for template and get the rest of the entered data from the form, such as the URL of a web file and the location of the local file. Later, we will check which fields are chosen by this data. Now we must create objects which will set up the relationships with the GroupDocs API and user account. This code does that:\n//Create signer object $signer = new GroupDocsRequestSigner($privateKey); //Create apiClient object $apiClient = new APIClient($signer); //Create Storage Api object $api = new StorageApi($apiClient); So we can check from where we\u0026rsquo;re about to upload the file and then upload it. To check if the user choose to upload a file from the web, and to upload the file, use this code:\n//Check if user choose upload file from URL if ($url != \u0026#34;\u0026#34;) { //Upload file from URL $uploadResult = $api-\u0026gt;UploadWeb($clientId, $url); //Check is file uploaded if ($uploadResult-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //Get file GUID $fileGuId = $uploadResult-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;guid; //If it isn\u0026#39;t uploaded throw exception to template } else { throw new Exception($uploadResult-\u0026gt;error\\_message); } } This block does all the magic uploading a file from the web. As you can see we check whether $url is an empty string. If it is not empty, the user has selected to upload a file from the web and we use the URL. To upload the file, we make a request to the UploadWeb method with the client ID and the URL for the file:\n$uploadResult = $api-\u0026gt;UploadWeb($clientId, $url); Thats all for web uploading. Simple, yes? OK in response to this method we have an object with an array of all the info for this file such as the GUID, name, type and so on. To show this file in an iframe, we only need the GUID. We can get GUID easily:\n$fileGuId = $uploadResult-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;guid; If uploadWeb fails we get an error message:\n$uploadResult-\u0026gt;error\\_message But what if the user wants to upload a local file? We can check if they do, and if so upload the local file with this code:\n//Check is user choose upload local file if ($\\_FILES\\[\u0026#39;file\u0026#39;\\]\\[\u0026#34;name\u0026#34;\\] != \u0026#34;\u0026#34;) { //Temp name of the file $tmp\\_name = $file\\[\u0026#39;tmp\\_name\u0026#39;\\]; //Original name of the file $name = $file\\[\u0026#39;name\u0026#39;\\]; //Creat file stream $fs = FileStream::fromFile($tmp\\_name); //###Make a request to Storage API using clientId //Upload file to current user storage $uploadResult = $api-\u0026gt;Upload($clientId, $name, \u0026#39;uploaded\u0026#39;, \u0026#34;\u0026#34;, $fs); //###Check if file uploaded successfully if ($uploadResult-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //Get file GUID $fileGuId = $uploadResult-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;guid; //If it isn\u0026#39;t uploaded throw exception to template } else { throw new Exception($uploadResult-\u0026gt;error\\_message); } } To upload a local file we must get its name, assign it a temporary name and convert it to a FileStream. The first two we can get as usual for multipart/form-data:\n//Temp name of the file $tmp\\_name = $file\\[\u0026#39;tmp\\_name\u0026#39;\\]; //Original name of the file $name = $file\\[\u0026#39;name\u0026#39;\\]; And to convert the file to FileStream in the GroupDocs PHP SDK we have very cool thing: FileStream::fromFile. This function gets the file\u0026rsquo;s temp name and returns a FileStream. Now we can send request to the GroupDocs API to upload the local file. The Upload file method get such parameters as client ID, local file name, description(string), callback URL (in this sample we\u0026rsquo;ll use an empty string but if you want to, you can specify it) and FileStream. In the response object for the UploadWeb method we get info about the uploaded file. If the request failed, we get an error message.\nDisplaying the file We\u0026rsquo;ve finished the upload and now we have only to generate an iframe and call our function.\n//Generation of iframe URL using fileGuId $iframe = \u0026#39;http://apps.groupdocs.com/document-viewer/embed/\u0026#39; . $fileGuId . \u0026#39;?frameborder=\u0026#34;0\u0026#34; width=\u0026#39; . $width . \u0026#39;height=\u0026#39; . $height; //If request was successfull - set url variable for template f3::set(\u0026#39;fileId\u0026#39;, $fileGuId); return f3::set(\u0026#39;url\u0026#39;, $iframe); } } try { upload($clientId, $privateKey, $width, $height); } catch(Exception $e) { $error = \u0026#39;ERROR: \u0026#39; . $e-\u0026gt;getMessage() . \u0026#34;\\\\n\u0026#34;; f3::set(\u0026#39;error\u0026#39;, $error); } //Process template F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, $clientId); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, $privateKey); F3::set(\u0026#39;width\u0026#39;, $width); F3::set(\u0026#39;height\u0026#39;, $height); echo Template::serve(\u0026#39;template.htm\u0026#39;); The code in action Thats all.

Find information about other methods in the Swagger explorer.\nRequirements PHP 5.3 Apache ModRewrite PHP Curl extension PHP Sockets extension (php_sockets.dll) GroupDocs PHP SDK composer.phar (Download from http://getcomposer.org/download/ or use the included version) FatFree framework (https://github.com/bcosca/fatfree) We already know how to install the Fatfree framework and prepare for creating the sample from the previous article. So lets start with the magic.\nTheory First of all let\u0026rsquo;s familiarize ourselves with Callback and the logic we will implement.\nCallback A callback is something like \u0026ldquo;Action\u0026rdquo; in HTML forms, a URL that will be executed by the server when a job is done. In this article we will use the Convert API and Convert method to convert a file from DOC to PDF. One of parameters of this method is a callback URL.\nThe logic User enters data into the form. The data is transfered by POST to the controller. The controller processes the received data (converts the file) and writes the user ID and private key to the text file for the Callback handler. After that, the controller returns the converted file GUID to the template. After conversion, the server calls the callback handler. The callback handler reads the user ID and private key from text file and makes a request to the Storage API to download the converted file. At same time that the server calls the callback URL, the template file shows the conversion results in an iframe and sends an Ajax request to the Ajax handler. The Ajax handler checks the \u0026ldquo;downloads\u0026rdquo; folder for the downloaded file. If file is there, handler gets the file name and returns it to the template. If file was downloaded, Ajax also sends a request to the download file handler to generate the download file dialog. PracticeNow we must create our files: The first file is the template file in the template folder. The second file is the controller which is saved to the inc_samples folder. THe other two files live in the callbacks subfolder in the inc_samples folder. The structure looks like this: As you can see from screenshot we must create five files:\ntemplate.htm controller.php convert_callback.php check_file.php download_file.php So let\u0026rsquo;s start in stages.\ntemplate.html In the template folder, create the template.htm file. This file shows the page with the input form and performs an Ajax request. Now put in this code:\n\u0026lt;!DOCTYPE html\u0026gt; \u0026lt;html lang=\u0026#34;en\u0026#34;\u0026gt; \u0026lt;head\u0026gt; \u0026lt;meta http-equiv=\u0026#34;Content-Type\u0026#34; content=\u0026#34;text/html;

\u0026lt;/body\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/html\u0026gt; I will not explain the HTML part of this code since it is a usual HTML document. But we have a JavaScript so let\u0026rsquo;s take a look at that. First we must include a Jquery library for Ajax requests. This code in the \u0026ldquo;Head\u0026rdquo; is responsible for this:\n\u0026lt;script src=\u0026#34;//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js\u0026#34; \u0026gt;\u0026lt;/script\u0026gt; After that we can use Ajax. Now the Ajax code:\n\u0026lt;script type=\u0026#34;text/javascript\u0026#34;\u0026gt; $(document).ready(setTimeout(check, 5000)); //Wait 5 sec. after page loaded and run \u0026#34;check\u0026#34; function function check() { if (($(\u0026#34;input\\[name=callbackUrl\\]\u0026#34;).val() != \u0026#34;\u0026#34;) \u0026amp;\u0026amp; (document.getElementById(\u0026#34;result\u0026#34;) != null)) { //Check is this first time page loaded $(\u0026#39;#results\\_status\u0026#39;).fadeIn(\u0026#34;slow\u0026#34;); //Chow message //Ajax request $.ajax({ type: \u0026#39;POST\u0026#39;, //Set ajax request type to POST url: \u0026#39;/callbacks/check\\_file\u0026#39;, //Action to which send request success: function (data) { //If request success exeсute function $(\u0026#39;#results\\_status\u0026#39;).fadeOut(\u0026#34;slow\u0026#34;); //Show result status div = document.getElementById(\u0026#34;link\u0026#34;); //Get element with id \u0026#34;link\u0026#34; p = document.createElement(\u0026#34;p\u0026#34;); //Create new HTML element p.innerHTML = \u0026#34;\u0026lt;br /\u0026gt; File \u0026#34; + data + \u0026#34; was downloaded.\u0026#34;; //Set content for new HTML element div.appendChild(p); //Add new element to the element with id \u0026#34;link\u0026#34; $(\u0026#34;#downloadframe\u0026#34;).attr(\u0026#34;src\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;/callbacks/download\\_file?FileName=\u0026#34; + data); //Make request to download file\\_file controller }, dataType: \u0026#34;text\u0026#34; //Set data type which will get ajax request from controller }); } } \u0026lt;/script\u0026gt; As Jquery is a JavaScript library we must use the tag\u0026rsquo;s. This code starts work 5 sec. after the page is loaded. The delay is necessary in order that the iframe with results is loaded. First of all we must check if this is first time the page is loaded. For this reason we use this check:\nif (($(\u0026#34;input\\\\\\[name=callbackUrl\\\\\\]\u0026#34;).val() \\\\!= \u0026#34;\u0026#34;) \u0026amp;\u0026amp; (document.getElementById(\u0026#34;result\u0026#34;) \\\\!= null)) { After this check, the script shows message and receives all elements from the document. Then the script builds and sends an Ajax request to the check_file controller. When the controller returns the downloaded file name, Ajax sends it to the download_file controller.\ncontroller.php Now lets do the next step and see what our base controller looks like. In the inc_samples folder, create a file _controller.php file. This file gets form data from the template and makes requests to the Async API to convert the file. Also this controller creates a text file with the user ID and private key for the callback controllers because we can\u0026rsquo;t send this data any other way and the callback controller will be requested only by the server by the callback URL. Now I\u0026rsquo;ll show you the controller.php code. Put it in:\n\u0026lt;?php //### This sample will show how to insert Assembly questionnaire into webpage using PHP SDK //### Set variables and get POST data F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;fileId\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;convert\\_type\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); $clientId = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;client\\_id\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $privateKey = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;private\\_key\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $convert\\_type = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;convert\\_type\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $fileGuId = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;fileId\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); function Convert($clientId, $privateKey, $convert\\_type, $fileGuId) { if (empty($clientId)|| empty($privateKey) || empty($convert\\_type) || empty($fileGuId)) { throw new Exception(\u0026#39;Please enter all required parameters\u0026#39;); } else { //path to settings file - temporary save userId and apiKey like to property file $infoFile = fopen(\\_\\_DIR\\_\\_ . \u0026#39;/../user\\_info.txt\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;w\u0026#39;); fwrite($infoFile, $clientId . \u0026#34;\\\\r\\\\n\u0026#34; . $privateKey); fclose($infoFile); //check if Downloads folder exists and remove it to clean all old files if (file\\_exists(\\_\\_DIR\\_\\_ . \u0026#39;/../downloads\u0026#39;)) { delFolder(\\_\\_DIR\\_\\_ . \u0026#39;/../downloads/\u0026#39;); } //Set variables for Viewer F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, $clientId); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, $privateKey); //###Create Signer, ApiClient and Storage Api objects //Create signer object $signer = new GroupDocsRequestSigner($privateKey); //Create apiClient object $apiClient = new APIClient($signer); //Create AsyncApi object $api = new AsyncApi($apiClient); //Create Storage Api object $apiStorage = new StorageApi($apiClient); //Get entered callback url $callbackUrl = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;callbackUrl\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#34;callbackUrl\u0026#34;, $callbackUrl); //Make request to api for convert file $convert = $api-\u0026gt;Convert($clientId, $fileGuId, null, null, null, $callbackUrl, $convert\\_type); //Check request status if($convert-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //Delay necessary that the inquiry would manage to be processed sleep(5); //Make request to api for get document info by job id $jobInfo = $api-\u0026gt;GetJobDocuments($clientId, $convert-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_id, \u0026#34;\u0026#34;); if ($jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;inputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;outputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;guid != \u0026#34;\u0026#34;) { //Get file guid $guid = $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;inputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;outputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;guid; } else { throw new Exception(\u0026#39;File GuId is empty\u0026#39;); } //Generation of iframe URL using fileGuId $iframe = \u0026#39;http://apps.groupdocs.com/document-viewer/embed/\u0026#39; . $guid . \u0026#39;\u0026#34; frameborder=\u0026#34;0\u0026#34; width=\u0026#34;100%\u0026#34; height=\u0026#34;600\u0026#34;\u0026#39;; } else { $error\\_message = $convert-\u0026gt;error\\_message; return f3::set(\u0026#39;error\\_message\u0026#39;, $error\\_message); } //If request was successfull - set url variable for template F3::set(\u0026#39;fileId\u0026#39;, $fileId); return F3::set(\u0026#39;iframe\u0026#39;, $iframe); } } //### Delete downloads folder and all files in this folder function delFolder($path) { $item = array(); //Get all items fron folder $item = scandir($path); //Remove from array \u0026#34;.\u0026#34; and \u0026#34;..\u0026#34; $item = array\\_slice($item, 2); //Check is there was files if (count($item) \u0026gt; 0) { //Delete files from folder for ($i = 0; $i \u0026lt; count($item); $i++) { $next = $path . \u0026#34;\\\\\\\\\u0026#34; . $item\\[$i\\]; if (file\\_exists($next)) { unlink($next); } } } //Delete folder rmdir($path); } try { Convert($clientId, $privateKey, $convert\\_type, $fileGuId); } catch (Exception $e) { $error = \u0026#39;ERROR: \u0026#39; . $e-\u0026gt;getMessage() . \u0026#34;\\\\n\u0026#34;; f3::set(\u0026#39;error\u0026#39;, $error); } F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, $clientId); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, $privateKey); F3::set(\u0026#39;convert\\_type\u0026#39;, $convert\\_type); // Process template echo Template::serve(\u0026#39;template.htm\u0026#39;); I won\u0026rsquo;t go through the code in detail: each line is explained in the comments. But I\u0026rsquo;ll explain briefly what the code doing. We have two functions, Convert and delFolder, which do all the work. First of all, we receive POST data from the template and check if all the required fields are filled in. If they are, the controller creates a text file and writes the user ID and private key to it. After that follows the creation of the GroupDocsRequestSigner, APIClient and Async API objects so that we can send request to the API. So we have created all the objects and now we can convert the file. To do this we only need to call the convert method and transfer to it the:\nuser ID, GUID of the file in the GroupDocs account which will be converted callback URL format to convert the file to. Now we have converted the file but we need the GUID of the converted file and only the job ID is returned from the converted method. No problem, lets take 5 sec. to rest. The 5 sec. delay is necessary so that the inquiry can be be processed. After the delay, we take the returned job ID and make new request to the Async API but now with GetJobDocuments which returns all the info we need by job ID. Now we have the GUID for the converted file and can give this GUID to the iframe URL and return the URL to the template which will use it in the iframe source. The second function checks the downloads folder for old files and deletes them.\nconvert_callback.php Next, let\u0026rsquo;s take a look at the callback controller, convert_callback.php. This file gets the callback from server, takes the data the server sends and downloads the converted file.\n\u0026lt;?php //Local path to the text file with user data $userInfo = file(\\_\\_DIR\\_\\_ . \u0026#39;/../../user\\_info.txt\u0026#39;); //Get user data from text file $clientId = $userInfo\\[0\\]; $privateKey = $userInfo\\[1\\]; //Get raw data $json = file\\_get\\_contents(\u0026#34;php://input\u0026#34;); //Decode json with raw data to array $callBack\\_data = json\\_decode($json, true); //Get job id from array $jobId = $callBack\\_data\\[\u0026#34;SourceId\u0026#34;\\]; //Create signer object $signer = new GroupDocsRequestSigner(trim($privateKey)); //Create apiClient object $apiClient = new APIClient($signer); //Create AsyncApi object $api = new AsyncApi($apiClient); //Create Storage Api object $apiStorage = new StorageApi($apiClient); sleep(5); //Make request to Async API to get job info $jobInfo = $api-\u0026gt;GetJobDocuments(trim($clientId), $jobId, \u0026#34;\u0026#34;); if ($jobInfo-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //Get file guid $guid = $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;inputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;outputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;guid; //Get file name $name = $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;inputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;outputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;name; } //Local path to the downloads folder $downloadFolder = dirname(\\_\\_FILE\\_\\_). \u0026#39;/../../downloads\u0026#39;; //Check is folder exist if (!file\\_exists($downloadFolder)) { //If folder don\u0026#39;t exist create it mkdir($downloadFolder); } //Obtaining file stream of downloading file and definition of folder where to download file $outFileStream = FileStream::fromHttp($downloadFolder, $name); //Download file from GroupDocs. $download = $apiStorage-\u0026gt;GetFile(trim($clientId), $guid, $outFileStream); ?\u0026gt; This controller reads the user ID and private key from the text file. Then it gets the raw data from the server inquiry. In this raw data we have the job ID. Use this like in the previous controller to get the converted file. To do this we must create all the objects again: GroupDocsRequestSigner, APIClient and Async API. After that we can make a request using the GetJobDocuments method to get the file GUID and name. Use this data for the GetFile method to download the converted file to the downloads folder.\ncheck_file.php At the same time that the convert_callback controller is working, we see that the page is reloaded and shows the iframe with the converted file. When the iframe is loaded, Ajax sends its request to the check_file controller. The check_file controller looks like this:\n\u0026lt;?php $result = \u0026#34;\u0026#34;; //counter to not wait forever $counter = 0; //Local path to the downloads folder $downloadFolder = \\_\\_DIR\\_\\_ . \u0026#39;/../../downloads\u0026#39;; //Check folder for downloaded file do { //Set max. iterations if ($counter \u0026gt;= 10) { $result = \u0026#34;Error\u0026#34;; break; } sleep(5); //Check is downloads folder exist if (!file\\_exists($downloadFolder)) { //If folder don\u0026#39;t exist create it $di = mkdir($downloadFolder); } //Open downloads folder $filePaths = opendir($downloadFolder); //Get all elements from folder while (($file = readdir($filePaths)) !== false) { //Get downloaded file name if ($file != \u0026#34;.\u0026#34; \u0026amp;\u0026amp; $file != \u0026#34;..\u0026#34;) { $name = $file; } } //Close folder closedir($filePaths); //Check is file downloaded if ($name == \u0026#34;\u0026#34;) { //If file don\u0026#39;t downloaded yet do one mor itaretion $counter++; continue; //If file downloaded get file name and break. } else { $result = $name; //get the name of the fist file in the directory break; } } while (true); //Check result if ($result == \u0026#34;Error\u0026#34;) { return \u0026#34;File was not found. Looks like something went wrong.\u0026#34;; } //Return file name to the template for ajax echo $result; ?\u0026gt; This controller opens the downloads folder and gets all files from it. If there are no files, the controller waits for 5 sec. and checks again. When the file is downloaded and appear in the folder, the controller get the name and returns it to Ajax which sends the file name to the download_file controller.\ndownload_file.php The download_file generates the download dialog.\n\u0026lt;?php //Get downloaded file $file = (dirname(\\_\\_FILE\\_\\_) . \u0026#39;/../../downloads/\u0026#39; . $\\_GET\\[\u0026#34;FileName\u0026#34;\\]); //Set data for download dialog header (\u0026#34;Content-Type: application/octet-stream\u0026#34;); header (\u0026#34;Accept-Ranges: bytes\u0026#34;); header (\u0026#34;Content-Length: \u0026#34;.filesize($file)); header (\u0026#34;Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\u0026#34;.$\\_GET\\[\u0026#34;FileName\u0026#34;\\]); //Download file readfile($file); ?\u0026gt; Here we take full local path to the downloaded file and transfers it to the download dialog.\nProgram in action On that we are finished!

In the Fatfree framework, the form is creation using a simple HTML code which does not need explaining: everything is as usual. But in the value of the input\u0026rsquo;s we transfer the value of variables from the controller - \\{\\{@userId\\}\\} - in order that the user data stays in the values when the user clicks Make request. Also you can see here the input named CallbackURL. In this field, the user can enter a URL which will be executed by the server after the comparison is done. A callback is something like an action for a form. It can be a PHP file which is triggered by the server. All of these fields are required except for the callbackURL field.\nDisplaying the Comparison Results The next code block in the template file is:\n\u0026lt;div style=\u0026#34;padding:20px; border:1px solid black;\u0026#34;\u0026gt; Results: \u0026lt;font color=\u0026#34;red\u0026#34;\u0026gt;{{@error}}\u0026lt;/font\u0026gt; \u0026lt;iframe src={{@iframe}}\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/iframe\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/div\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br/\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/div\u0026gt; This div block shows the results of a comparison. As you can see, it\u0026rsquo;s simple HTML too but the iframe source and parameters we get from the controller. As part of the controller operation, we check that all the parameters have been entered. If a parameter doesn\u0026rsquo;t have a value, an error is returned. So, depending on what we receive from the server, we return either the iframe or an error message. The form looks like this: Sample Creation: Creating the Controller Go to the inc_samples folder and create controller file called Comparison.php.

In Fatfree framework we can do it with this code:\n$clientId = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;client\\_id\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $privateKey = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;private\\_key\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $sourceFileId = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;sourceFileId\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $targetFileId = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;targetFileId\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $callbackUrl = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;callbackUrl\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $basePath = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;server\\_type\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); F3::get is a framework method to call to the global associative array of variables passed to the current script via the HTTP POST method. Now we can declare empty variables for template.\nF3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); f3::set(\u0026#39;result\u0026#39;, \u0026#34;\u0026#34;); f3::set is one more framework method similar to f3::get but it transfers data to the template. The first parameter is a name of a variable in the template. The second parameter is the data that associated with this variable. Right now, it\u0026rsquo;s a empty string.\nCreating the Compare Function Let\u0026rsquo;s create a function named Compare which takes the entered data and runs a comparison. First, what this function does is to check that all data has been entered by the user:\nfunction Compare($clientId, $privateKey, $sourceFileId, $targetFileId, $callbackUrl, $basePath) { if (empty($clientId) || empty($privateKey) || empty($sourceFileId) || empty($targetFileId)) { throw new Exception(\u0026#39;Please enter all required parameters\u0026#39;); The checks are standard checks for empty values. If the user entered all the required data, the controller continues its operation:\n} else { //Set variables for Viewer F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, $clientId); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, $privateKey); //###Create Signer, ApiClient and Storage Api objects //Create signer object $signer = new GroupDocsRequestSigner($privateKey); //Create apiClient object $apiClient = new APIClient($signer); //Create ComparisonApi object $CompareApi = new ComparisonApi($apiClient); This block sets data to the template variables userId and privateKey, which was empty. After that they contain user entered data. Next create the Signer, ApiClient and Comparison API objects for making request to the server.\nThe ComparisonAnd now the comparison magic: //Comparison of documents where: $clientId - user GuId, $sourceFileId - source file Guid in which will be provided compare, //$targetFileId - file GuId with wich will compare sourceFile, $callbackUrl - Url which will be executed after compare, $info = $CompareApi-\u0026gt;Compare($clientId, $sourceFileId, $targetFileId, $callbackUrl); Expected the comparison segment to be bigger? Sorry if you\u0026rsquo;re disappointed. The document comparison is only one line of code: all you need to do is call the Compare method from the PHP SDK and transfer the proper data to it. Data such as the client ID (user id), the GUIDs for the two files that will be compared (the source and target file IDs) and, finally, the callback URL which can be an empty string. The next step is a check of the comparison results:\nif($info-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //Create AsyncApi object $asyncApi = new AsyncApi($apiClient); //### Check job status for ($i = 0; $i \u0026lt;= 5; $i++) { //Delay necessary that the inquiry would manage to be processed sleep(5); //Make request to api for get document info by job id $jobInfo = $asyncApi-\u0026gt;GetJobDocuments($clientId, $info-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_id); //Check job status, if status is Completed or Archived exit from cycle if ($jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_status == \u0026#34;Completed\u0026#34; || $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_status == \u0026#34;Archived\u0026#34;) { break; //If job status Postponed throw exception with error } elseif ($jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_status == \u0026#34;Postponed\u0026#34;) { throw new Exception(\u0026#39;Job is failure\u0026#39;); } } //Get file guid $guid = $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;outputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;guid; // Construct iframe using fileId $iframe = \u0026#39;https://apps.groupdocs.com/document-viewer/embed/\u0026#39; . $guid . \u0026#39; frameborder=\u0026#34;0\u0026#34; width=\u0026#34;800\u0026#34; height=\u0026#34;650\u0026#34;\u0026#39;; } Here we check what status of request was returned. If it\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;Ok\u0026rdquo;, we can continue and get all the necessary data for an iframe, such as result file GUID, from the returned job ID. In the server response of the Compare method, we have only the request status and job ID which is why we must create an AsyncApi object ($asyncApi = new AsyncApi($apiClient); and call the GetJobDocuments method from this object. This method uses the job ID to get all the info of this job. Now we must check the job status from $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result. If it is \u0026ldquo;Completed\u0026rdquo; or \u0026ldquo;Archived\u0026rdquo;, all is well and we continue. But before we do this check we must allow the server to fulfill the inquiry having established a delay in 5 sec: sleep(5);. After job status check, we can get the result file GUID. It will be in the outputs array: $guid = $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;outputs[0]-\u0026gt;guid;. So now we have real file GUID and we can generate an iframe: $iframe = \u0026lsquo;https:**//apps.groupdocs.com/document-viewer/embed/\u0026rsquo; . $guid . \u0026rsquo; frameborder=\u0026ldquo;0\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;800\u0026rdquo; height=\u0026ldquo;650\u0026rdquo;\u0026rsquo;;\nCalling the FunctionAnd one last code block: try { Compare($clientId, $privateKey, $sourceFileId, $targetFileId, $callbackUrl, $basePath); } catch(Exception $e) { $error = \u0026#39;ERROR: \u0026#39; . $e-\u0026gt;getMessage() . \u0026#34;\\\\n\u0026#34;; f3::set(\u0026#39;error\u0026#39;, $error); } //Process template f3::set(\u0026#39;sourceFileId\u0026#39;, $sourceFileId); f3::set(\u0026#39;targetFileId\u0026#39;, $targetFileId); f3::set(\u0026#39;callbackURL\u0026#39;, $callbackUrl); // f3::set(\u0026#39;result\u0026#39;, $result); echo Template::serve(\u0026#39;comparison.htm\u0026#39;); In this block we call our function with user data and a catch exception (in case there is an exception). The exception contains all possible errors. And we can set variables for the template and send them to it: f3::set(\u0026lsquo;sourceFileId\u0026rsquo;, $sourceFileId);. As I\u0026rsquo;ve already mentioned, this sets variables for the template and this line of code, echo Template::serve(\u0026lsquo;comparison.htm\u0026rsquo;); calls template and send data to it. The iframe, complete with results, looks like this: ","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/comparison/how-to-compare-files-with-groupdocs-php-sdk/","summary":"This article explains the basics of using PHP SDK classes and methods.

You can download the completed plugin from Contao.\nRequirements Contao CMS PHP 5.3 JavaScript PreparationTo create a GroupDocs Viewer plugin for Contao CMS: Install Contao CMS. The installation of this CMS is a simple. Allow GroupDocs to appear go to Admin \u0026gt; Setting \u0026gt; Security settings \u0026gt; Allowed HTML tags and just add at the end. Create a folder to hold future plugin files in the root/system/modules directory of the Contao CMS installation and name it groupdocs_viewer. Creating the Plugin This plugin adds a button to the Admin side of the CMS above the editing block of any article. When users click the button a dialog appears. Here, users enter the file GUID from their GroupDocs account to embed and iframe with this file. OK. Let\u0026rsquo;s start creating a Viewer plugin. All operations are in the groupdocs_viewer folder. First of all, create a ModuleGroupdocsViewer.php file. This file will contain the plugin\u0026rsquo;s installation and uninstallation logic. Enter this code into the file:\n\u0026lt;?php if (!defined(\u0026#39;TL\\_ROOT\u0026#39;)) die(\u0026#39;You can not access this file directly!\u0026#39;); /\\*\\* \\* GroupDocs \\* \\* This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or \\* modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public \\* License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either \\* version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. \\* \\* This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, \\* but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of \\* MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

The first line if (!defined(\u0026#39;TL\\_ROOT\u0026#39;)) die(\u0026#39;You can not access this file directly!\u0026#39;); says that if TL_ROOT has not been defined, the user can\u0026rsquo;t access the file. This line must be in all plugin files as first line. The next, commented, block contains information about the plugin. Now create a basic class of our plugin which will extend the Contao CMS\u0026rsquo;s Module class. This is necessary for Contao to understand that this is a module and give us access to the CMS\u0026rsquo;s functions.\nclass ModuleGroupdocsViewer extends Module That creates the class. Then we have the magic that installs and uninstalls the plugin. For this purpose we create some functions. All code explanations are on the same lines of the code in the section below.\nprotected $strTemplate = \u0026#39;mod\\_groupdocsviewer\u0026#39;; // Creation of the protected variable which declare a template with module name /\\*\\* \\* Display a wildcard in the back end \\* @return string \\*/ public function generate() //This function is describe an insertion of plugin info to the CMS. //For this purpose we use a variables of the basic Module class which we expanded by our class { if (TL\\_MODE == \u0026#39;BE\u0026#39;) { $objTemplate = new BackendTemplate(\u0026#39;be\\_wildcard\u0026#39;); $objTemplate-\u0026gt;wildcard = \u0026#39;### GROUPDOCS VIEWER LIST ###\u0026#39;; $objTemplate-\u0026gt;title = $this-\u0026gt;headline; $objTemplate-\u0026gt;id = $this-\u0026gt;id; $objTemplate-\u0026gt;link = $this-\u0026gt;name; $objTemplate-\u0026gt;href = \u0026#39;contao/main.php?do=themes\u0026amp;amp;table=tl\\_module\u0026amp;amp;act=edit\u0026amp;amp;id=\u0026#39; . $this-\u0026gt;id; return $objTemplate-\u0026gt;parse(); } return parent::generate(); } /\\*\\* \\* Generate module \\*/ protected function compile() //In this function we transfer our plugin data to the template such as button position and in which area to insert our button. { /\\* $this-\u0026gt;Template-\u0026gt;gdv = $arrGdv; $this-\u0026gt;Template-\u0026gt;width = $objCategory-\u0026gt;width; $this-\u0026gt;Template-\u0026gt;height = $objCategory-\u0026gt;height; $this-\u0026gt;Template-\u0026gt;categories = $arrCategories; \\*/ } So far, we\u0026rsquo;ve created the basic plugin file but the plugin doesn\u0026rsquo;t do anything yet. So let\u0026rsquo;s add some functionality.\nCompleting the Plugin DeclarationBefore adding functionality to the plugin, we need to set up some files and file structures. First, create a Template folder and add an empty template file to it. The Contao CMS will write data that we declare for the template to this file. The file name for is mod_groupdocsviewer - the same that we called our protected variable. Create a languages folder in the plugin\u0026rsquo;s root folder and, in this folder, create one an en folder. In the enfolder, create two files which will contain a string declaration of all titles and messages for our plugin.\rmodules.phpThe first file is named modules.php and contain basic data such as the plugin name: \u0026lt;?php if (!defined(\u0026#39;TL\\_ROOT\u0026#39;)) die(\u0026#39;You can not access this file directly!\u0026#39;); /\\*\\* \\* GroupDocs \\* \\* This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or \\* modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public \\* License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either \\* version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. \\* \\* This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, \\* but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of \\* MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Also I\u0026rsquo;ll show you how to create one using the GroupDocs Viewer extension as an example.\nGoogle Chrome extensionsIn contrast to developing extensions for FireFox, writing extensions for Google Chrome is a rather simple task. Chrome extensions are archives that contain the manifest file, called manifest.json and other resource files. The manifest file describes a extension\u0026rsquo;s general information: any pages and scripts it uses, and permissions. Together with the manifest, any files that the extension needs are packed into a *.crx file and a key file is saved in the *.pem format. { \u0026#34;name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;GroupDocs Viewer\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;version\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;1.3\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;manifest\\_version\u0026#34;: 2, \u0026#34;description\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;GroupDocs Viewer plugin for Google Chrome\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;icons\u0026#34;: { \u0026#34;16\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;./img/icon16.png\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;48\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;./img/icon48.png\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;128\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;./img/icon128.png\u0026#34; }, \u0026#34;browser\\_action\u0026#34;: { \u0026#34;default\\_title\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;GroupDocs Viewer\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;default\\_icon\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;./img/icon16.png\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;default\\_popup\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;popup.html\u0026#34; }, \u0026#34;permissions\u0026#34;: \\[ \u0026#34;https://api.groupdocs.com/\\*\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;https://dev-api.groupdocs.com/\\*\u0026#34; \\] } Manifest ComponentsThe main components of the GroupDocs extension manifest are: name - The extension name. version - The extension version. manifest_version - The manifest version. description - A extension description. icons - Any icons the extension uses. browser_action - A description of an icon on the toolbar and a pop-up window. default_title - The name displayed when hovering a cursor over a extension icon. default_icon - The extension\u0026rsquo;s main icon. default_popup - The HTML file loaded into a extension\u0026rsquo;s pop-up window. permissions - The extension\u0026rsquo;s permissions. These are sites to which the extension can run Ajax inquiries. GroupDocs Viewer ObjectsThe GroupDocs Viewer extension consists of the following objects: DirectoryChoicer - File browser dialog. Used to chose a folder when moving or copying files. StatusManager - An object of notices. Used to of the progress screen and various other messages. EmbedDialog - A dialog of control parameters for generating a embeddable frame. Used for parameters controlling a frame and its generation. GroupDocsManager - An object for working with the GroupDocs account. Superstructure to the GroupDocs JavaScript API. Used for all server operations with GroupDocs. GroupDocsPlugin - The extension object in which all the extension logic is realized. How it WorksBelow, I\u0026rsquo;ve described how the extension works in some detail. Initializing the extension The extension begins the work by calling the GroupDocsPlugin object\u0026rsquo;s initialize method. In this method, at first the _initializeEvents method is called and initializes event handlers for all elements for which it is necessary. After the handler initialization, the authSuccess method is called. This method keeps appCID and appKey as global variables for further use. After that the contentShowed method is called. First, this clears an area in which files will be displayed, and then it calls the showEntities method. The showEntities method first calls the StatusManager.showProgress method. This displays a progress bar. The GroupDocsManager.listEntities method is called with a parameter indicating a way to the folder which files need to be returned. When files are loaded from the server, it cycles through files and folders and creates an appropriately formatted element for each. For folders the GroupDocsPlugin.showEntities method which recursively receives the hierarchy of files and folders is called again. If there\u0026rsquo;s a mistake, the StatusManager.err method is called and displays an error message. When all files are displayed in the block of files, the StatusManager.hideProgress method is called and the progress bar hidden. Event HandlersWhen the extension is up and running, it reacts to user actions at which event handlers are called: Logging In and Out When a user fills in a login form and clicks the button to enter, the GroupDocsPlugin.onAuthevent runs. In an event at first the progress bar is displayed, using the StatusManager.showProgress method. The entered appCID and appKey are checked using the GroupDocsManager.isCorrectCredentials method. If the entered data is correct, the GroupDocsPlugin.authSuccess method is called and retains the login credentials. The data input form is hidden and the main extension window displayed. If the entered data not true, an error message is shown. At the end of the login process, whether successful or not, the StatusManager.hideProgress method hides the progress bar. If a user clicks Logout, the GroupDocsPlugin.onLogout event handler removes the global appCID and appKey variables and displays a form for input of new values (a new login form). If a user clicks the user tabs in a extension window, the GroupDocsPlugin.onTabSwitch event runs to open the corresponding tab. Working with FilesTo work with files, a user selects a file and can then take a variety of actions. The following event handlers controls those actions: If the user clicks Show, the GroupDocsPlugin.onShowDocument event creates a preview frame for the chosen file. The frame is displayed in the corresponding tab.\nWhen a user clicks Download, the GroupDocsPlugin.onDownloadDocument event comes into play. This downloads the selected file using the GroupDocs API.\nWhen a user clicks Rename, the GroupDocsPlugin.onRenameDocument event runs. This event asks the user to enter a new name directly into an element with an old name. When the user enters a name, the GroupDocsManager.getDocumentMetadata method gets the renamed file\u0026rsquo;s ID and then uses the GroupDocsManager.renameFile method to rename the file on the server.\nIf a user clicks Find, the GroupDocsPlugin.findDocument event runs and finds the selected file in the list of files based on the entered GUID. If the files is found, it is automatically allocated in the list.\nIf a user clicks Copy, the GroupDocsPlugin.copyDocumentevent kicks in.\nFirst, a folder browser window is launched using the DirectoryChoicer.show method. To the okButtonClick property of the DirectoryChoicer component, the file selection method handler is applied. This handler is called when users selects a folder appointment and clicks OK. In this case the folder browser is hidden by means of the DirectoryChoicer.hide method and the progress bar - the StatusManager.showProgress method - is displayed. By means of the GroupDocsManager.getDocumentMetadata method, it received the file from the server. The file is then moved to the chosen folder using the GroupDocsManager.copyFile method. The progress bar is hidden. If there\u0026rsquo;s a problem, an error message is displayed. If the file is copied successfully, the GroupDocsPlugin.contentShowed method loads the changed hierarchy of files from the server and displays it. Clicking Move initializes similar code: the GroupDocsManager.moveFile method moves the file instead of copying it.\nClicking Delete initializes the GroupDocsPlugin.deleteDocumentevent.\nThe user is asked to confirm the deletion. If they do, the file is removed using the GroupDocsManager.deleteFile method. The progress bar is hidden and the process of loading and displaying a hierarchy of classes from the server starts. The GroupDocsPlugin.contentShowed method is used for this purpose. When a user clicks Embed, the GroupDocsPlugin.embedDocument event runs. This calls the EmbedDialog.show method, which displays a dialog for controlling and generating a frame for the chosen file.\nWhen a user clicks Upload, the GroupDocsPlugin.uploadDocumentevent runs to load a file onto the server.\nThe progress bar is displayed. The selected file is sent to the server by the GroupDocsManager.uploadFile method. When the file is sent, the progress bar disappears and the GroupDocsPlugin.contentShowed method updates the list of files. If the user clicks the Update button to refresh the list, the GroupDocsPlugin.refreshDocumentList method is called, resetting the list of files by means of the GroupDocsPlugin.contentShowed method.\nI won\u0026rsquo;t describe the other objects, as they very simple. Generally, they generate various HTML elements, using a JQuery library, then adds the generated element is into the general DOM model and displays it on screen.\nSummaryTo develop a Google Chrome extension: Develop the logic and code using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Part 1, we created first test for GroupDocs API. This article describes in details how tests works, what expectation and matchers are, and how to test an API with the PULL method.\nExpectation and Matchers So what are expectation and matchers? Lets look at a small example:\nstring =\u0026#34;GroupDocs\u0026#34; string.should have(9).characters string.should\\_not have(5).characters Expectations are defined by should and the negative form should_not. Matchers are defined by have(9).characters and have(5).characters. I should also mention that spec (specification) is a description of how some part of your application should work (in our case, one of the GroupDocs API methods). Lets take the get_user_profile_spec.rb file that we created in the last article and describe what that code is doing.\nrequire \u0026#39;spec\\_helper\u0026#39; describe \u0026#39;User\u0026#39; do describe \u0026#39;GetUserProfile\u0026#39; do include\\_context :api\\_tests let(:request) do GroupDocs::Api::Request.new method: \u0026#39;GET\u0026#39;, path: \u0026#39;/mgmt/{{client\\_id}}/profile\u0026#39; end it \u0026#39;returns not empty user hash\u0026#39; do response\\[:user\\].should\\_not be\\_empty end it \u0026#39;returns user identifier\u0026#39; do response\\[:user\\]\\[:id\\].should be\\_a(Fixnum) end it \u0026#39;returns user primary email\u0026#39; do response\\[:user\\]\\[:primary\\_email\\].should == \u0026#34;\u0026#34; # your primary email here end it \u0026#39;returns user private key\u0026#39; do response\\[:user\\]\\[:pkey\\].should == \u0026#34;\u0026#34; # your private key here end end end We use require \u0026lsquo;spec_helper\u0026rsquo; to include some configuration and helper functions. The describe method creates a group. This method could be nested with others like in the code: we\u0026rsquo;re testing the GetUserProfile method, a part of User API. Sometimes you\u0026rsquo;ll see the context method. This is just an alias for describe. The two methods have no functional difference, instead the difference is contextual to make tests more understandable.\nExample of simple Group Create a file called sample_spec.rb with the following code:\ndescribe \u0026#34;something\u0026#34; do it \u0026#34;does something\u0026#34; do end end Run the following command in a console: rspec sample_spec.rb -fn You\u0026rsquo;ll get something like this: Different Types of Matchers Now lets find what kinds of matchers there are. In the get_user_profile_spec.rb, when we test a response from the server we use a separate it block for each parameter we want to check. We use only 3 of all possible matchers: be_empty, be_a(), == . For your tests you can use: Test validity and existance:\nbe\\_true - check is true (not nil or false) be\\_false - check is false (nil or false) be\\_nil - check is nil Test error raising:\nexpect { ... }.to raise\\_error expect { ... }.to raise\\_error(ErrorClass) expect { ... }.to raise\\_error(\u0026#34;message\u0026#34;) expect { ... }.to raise\\_error(ErrorClass, \u0026#34;message\u0026#34;) There are a lot of other built-in matchers in rspec. You can find a full list online. If you need some special functionality you can create you own matchers.\nAdding a Test Now lets add one more test for the UpdateUserProfile API method. We will use the PUT method and json file for parameters. In the user folder, create a file called update_user_profile_spec.rb with the following content:\nrequire \u0026#39;spec\\_helper\u0026#39; describe \u0026#39;User\u0026#39; do describe \u0026#39;UpdateUserProfile\u0026#39; do include\\_context :api\\_tests let(:payload) { payload\\_file(:update\\_user\\_profile) } let(:request) do GroupDocs::Api::Request.new method: \u0026#39;PUT\u0026#39;, path: \u0026#34;/mgmt/#{payload\\[:guid\\]}/profile\u0026#34;, request\\_body: payload end it \u0026#39;returns response array\u0026#39; do response.should\\_not be\\_empty end end end payload_file Here we use one new function, payload_file. We need to add it to our spec_helper.rb file where it will look like this:\nrequire \u0026#39;groupdocs\u0026#39; require \u0026#39;json\u0026#39; # # Parses payload JSON file. # # @param \\[String\\] filename # @return \\[Hash\\] # def payload\\_file(filename) file = File.read(\u0026#34;#{File.dirname(\\_\\_FILE\\_\\_)}/../payload/#{filename}.json\u0026#34;) JSON.parse(file, symbolize\\_names: true) end RSpec.configure do |spec| # configure API access GroupDocs.configure do |groupdocs| groupdocs.api\\_server = \u0026#34;https://api.groupdocs.com\u0026#34; groupdocs.api\\_version = \u0026#34;2.0\u0026#34; groupdocs.client\\_id = \u0026#39;\u0026#39; groupdocs.private\\_key = \u0026#39;\u0026#39; end # share API tests methods spec.shared\\_context :api\\_tests do let(:response) do |spec| response = request.execute! end end end update_user_profile.json Now all we need to do, is create a update_user_profile.json file in the paylod directory (/groupdocs_tests/paylod/update_user_profile.json):\n{ \u0026#34;nickname\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;someemail@groupdocs.com\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;firstname\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;firstname\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;lastname\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;lastname\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;pswd\\_salt\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;XWeSDIKH4vDc0StcdNhGCg==\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;signedupOn\u0026#34;: 1358920966590, \u0026#34;signedinOn\u0026#34;: 1358920786590, \u0026#34;signin\\_count\u0026#34;: 1, \u0026#34;roles\u0026#34;: \\[ { \u0026#34;id\u0026#34;: 2, \u0026#34;name\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;Admin\u0026#34; } \\], \u0026#34;id\u0026#34;: 452, \u0026#34;guid\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;6dac05617fbfwer\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;primary\\_email\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;someemail@groupdocs.com\u0026#34; } You need to provide your own parameters in the update_user_profile.json file.

RSpec is a BDD (behavior driven development) framework. You can find more info about RSpec on its official site. There are a lot of different GroupDocs APIs that you can use. In this article we will test one of the User APIs: \u0026ldquo;Get user profile\u0026rdquo;.\nWhat You Need You need Ruby, Gem, Bundler, and RSpec (gem install rspec) installed on you computer. You also need a GroupDocs account and private and client keys. Find out how to get GroupDocs API keys.\nGetting Started First of all, create a folder for future tests (for example groupdocs_tests) and create file with the name Gemfile with the following content:\nsource \u0026#39;https://rubygems.org\u0026#39; gem \u0026#39;rake\u0026#39; gem \u0026#39;rspec\u0026#39; gem \u0026#39;ci\\_reporter\u0026#39; gem \u0026#39;groupdocs\u0026#39; Here we define all gems that we will need for API testing. The first line defines the source for gems. Then, we list the gems we\u0026rsquo;re using:\ngem \u0026lsquo;rake\u0026rsquo; - a build tool for Ruby. gem \u0026lsquo;rspec\u0026rsquo; - a BDD testing framework. gem \u0026lsquo;ci_reporter\u0026rsquo; - an add-on to Test::Unit and RSpec that allows you to generate XML reports of your test and/or spec runs. gem \u0026lsquo;groupdocs\u0026rsquo; - the GroupDocs Ruby SDK. After adding the Gemfile file, you need to use the bundle and install all required gems. We will install gems locally by commands in a terminal. Make sure that you are in the groupdocs_tests directory:\nbundle install --path vendor/bundle Creating Test Folders Now we will create additional folders for our test:\nIn the test\u0026rsquo;s root directory (groupdocs_tests), create a spec folder. All Ruby project tests should be in the spec folder. In the spec folder, create a user folder. As we will test the User API we will put all our User test in this folder Writing the Code Now let\u0026rsquo;s write some Ruby code.\nCreate a spec_helper.rb file in the spec/ folder. We will use this file to configure the GroupDocs SDK and for some helpers. Create a get_user_profile_spec.rb file in the user/ folder. Specs files name should ends with the \u0026ldquo;_spec\u0026rdquo; suffix. \u0026ldquo;get_user_profile\u0026rdquo; is the name of the API that we will test. /groupdocs_tests/spec/spec_helper.rb content require \u0026#39;groupdocs\u0026#39; RSpec.configure do |spec| # configure API access GroupDocs.configure do |groupdocs| groupdocs.api\\_server = \u0026#34;https://api.groupdocs.com\u0026#34; groupdocs.api\\_version = \u0026#34;2.0\u0026#34; groupdocs.client\\_id = \u0026#39;\u0026#39; #your Client ID here groupdocs.private\\_key = \u0026#39;\u0026#39; #your Private Key here end # share API tests methods spec.shared\\_context :api\\_tests do let(:response) do |spec| response = request.execute! end end end /groupdocs_tests/spec/user/get_user_profile_spec.rb content require \u0026#39;spec\\_helper\u0026#39; describe \u0026#39;User\u0026#39; do describe \u0026#39;GetUserProfile\u0026#39; do include\\_context :api\\_tests let(:request) do GroupDocs::Api::Request.new method: \u0026#39;GET\u0026#39;, path: \u0026#39;/mgmt/{{client\\_id}}/profile\u0026#39; end it \u0026#39;returns not empty user hash\u0026#39; do response\\[:user\\].should\\_not be\\_empty end it \u0026#39;returns user identifier\u0026#39; do response\\[:user\\]\\[:id\\].should be\\_a(Fixnum) end it \u0026#39;returns user primary email\u0026#39; do response\\[:user\\]\\[:primary\\_email\\].should == \u0026#34;\u0026#34; # your primary email here end it \u0026#39;returns user private key\u0026#39; do response\\[:user\\]\\[:pkey\\].should == \u0026#34;\u0026#34; # your private key here end end end Enter your keys and email where it needed.

Today let\u0026rsquo;s discuss a very useful function: file convertion. That way, I won\u0026rsquo;t hold up an explanation of structure of the project and other general moments. You probably think that file conversion is very difficult and that you must write a tonne of code, and study a lot of documentation about file formats and how to convert them. Luckily, you are wrong: everything is already done by the GroupDocs team. Everything you need to do is just create a form for entering a couple parameters and a few lines of code to take the parameters from the form and transfer them to the Convert method. Let\u0026rsquo;s look at the part of the sample that will be seen by the user, the form. The screenshot shows how many fields and what data we need. The Client ID and Private Key comes from the GroupDocs account, the file GUID from user storage in GroupDocs. Then chose which type to convert the document to from the list. To make this form, create a .htm file in the \u0026ldquo;templates\u0026rdquo; folder in the root folder of the project. Last time we called it Sample1 so lets call the new sample Sample2 Here is code of that file:\n\u0026lt;!DOCTYPE html\u0026gt; \u0026lt;html lang=\u0026#34;en\u0026#34;\u0026gt; \u0026lt;head\u0026gt; \u0026lt;meta http-equiv=\u0026#34;Content-Type\u0026#34; content=\u0026#34;text/html; charset=UTF-8\u0026#34;/\u0026gt; \u0026lt;title\u0026gt;Powered by {{ @VERSION }}\u0026lt;/title\u0026gt; \u0026lt;style type=\u0026#34;text/css\u0026#34;\u0026gt; {{ Web::minify(\u0026#39;templates/\u0026#39;,array(\u0026#39;style.css\u0026#39;),FALSE) }} \u0026lt;/style\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/head\u0026gt; \u0026lt;body\u0026gt; \u0026lt;h3 style=\u0026#34;text-align:center;\u0026#34;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;a href=\u0026#34;/index.php\u0026#34;\u0026gt;GroupDocs PHP SDK Samples\u0026lt;/a\u0026gt; - Sample2\u0026lt;/h3\u0026gt; \u0026lt;div class=\u0026#39;samplecontent\u0026#39; style=\u0026#34;padding:10px;\u0026#34;\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;This sample will show how to convert Doc to Docx, Docx to Doc, Docx to PDF and PPT to PDF using PHP SDK\u0026lt;/i\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br/\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br /\u0026gt; \u0026lt;font color=\u0026#34;green\u0026#34;\u0026gt;You entered: \u0026lt;/font\u0026gt; ClientID = {{@userId}} Private Key = {{@privateKey}} File Id = {{@fileId}} Convert type = {{@convert\\_type}} \u0026lt;br /\u0026gt; \u0026lt;font color=\u0026#34;red\u0026#34;\u0026gt;{{@error}}\u0026lt;/font\u0026gt; \u0026lt;div id=\u0026#34;requestForm\u0026#34; style=\u0026#34;padding:20px; border:1px solid black;\u0026#34;\u0026gt; Enter data for request and press \u0026#34;Make request\u0026#34; button \u0026lt;form action=\u0026#34;/sample2\u0026#34; method = \u0026#34;post\u0026#34; enctype = \u0026#39;multipart/form-data\u0026#39;\u0026gt; \u0026lt;label for=\u0026#39;client\\_id\u0026#39;\u0026gt;GroupDocs Client ID\u0026lt;/label\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br /\u0026gt; \u0026lt;input type=\u0026#39;text\u0026#39;, name=\u0026#39;client\\_id\u0026#39; value=\u0026#34;{{@userId}}\u0026#34; /\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br /\u0026gt; \u0026lt;label for=\u0026#39;private\\_key\u0026#39;\u0026gt;GroupDocs Private Key\u0026lt;/label\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br /\u0026gt; \u0026lt;input type=\u0026#39;text\u0026#39;, name=\u0026#39;private\\_key\u0026#39; value=\u0026#34;{{@privateKey}}\u0026#34; /\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br /\u0026gt; \u0026lt;label for=\u0026#39;fileId\u0026#39;\u0026gt;FileID\u0026lt;/label\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br /\u0026gt; \u0026lt;input type=\u0026#39;text\u0026#39;, name=\u0026#39;fileId\u0026#39; value=\u0026#34;{{@fileId}}\u0026#34; /\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br /\u0026gt; \u0026lt;input type=\u0026#39;submit\u0026#39; value=\u0026#39;Make Request\u0026#39;/\u0026gt; \u0026lt;select name=\u0026#34;convert\\_type\u0026#34; id=\u0026#34;convert\\_type\u0026#34;\u0026gt; \u0026lt;option value=\u0026#34;doc\u0026#34;\u0026gt;Doc\u0026lt;/option\u0026gt; \u0026lt;option value=\u0026#34;pdf\u0026#34;\u0026gt;PDF\u0026lt;/option\u0026gt; \u0026lt;option value=\u0026#34;docx\u0026#34;\u0026gt;Docx\u0026lt;/option\u0026gt; \u0026lt;option value=\u0026#34;ppt\u0026#34;\u0026gt;PPT\u0026lt;/option\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/select\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/form\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/div\u0026gt; \u0026lt;div style=\u0026#34;padding:20px; border:1px solid black;\u0026#34;\u0026gt; Results: {{ @iframe }} \u0026lt;/div\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/div\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/body\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/html\u0026gt; As you can see, this code is almost the same as in the previous sample. It differs only on that that here we have only one field for file GUID and we don\u0026rsquo;t have field for callback URL. Instead, we have a drop-down list with file types. If you need detailed description for the template file you can find it in the previous article. So lets take a look at a more interest part, at the controller were we have all the magic. Create a .php file in the inc_samples with same as the template file - \u0026ldquo;sample2\u0026rdquo;. Here the code of that file:\nIn the code you\u0026rsquo;ll find comments for each line of code and like the template file, the Controller is very similar to the previous sample. OK let\u0026rsquo;s look at key moments:\nHere is a declaration of main variables and getting entered data from the form:\nF3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;fileId\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;convert\\_type\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); $clientId = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;client\\_id\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $privateKey = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;private\\_key\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $fileId = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;fileId\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $convert\\_type = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;convert\\_type\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); After we get the entered data, we need to create an Async Api object so we can make request to the GroupDocs API. To create this object, we must create a GroupDocsRequestSigner object and transfer the Private Key to it. Then, that we must take this object and transfer it to the ApiClient object. The code for that looks like this:\n$signer = new GroupDocsRequestSigner($privateKey); //Create apiClient object $apiClient = new APIClient($signer); //Create AsyncApi object $api = new AsyncApi($apiClient); And here is the moment of conversion. To convert the file, we need to take the AsyncApi and use its Convertmethod with the data provided via the form:\n$convert = $api-\u0026gt;Convert($clientId, $fileId, $convert\\_type, null, null, null, null, null) As you can see, conversion is a one code line operation - all the dirty work has already done by GroupDocs team. After we convert the file, we\u0026rsquo;ll check the conversion results and obtaining conversion result info such as job_id and request status. But we can\u0026rsquo;t receive the new converted file GUID, name and so on at once. To obtain these data, we need to take the received job_id and transfer it to the GetJobDocuments method of our AsyncApi object. This method returns all the info we want. In this sample we generate an iframe which will show the converted file. For that reason we need the new file\u0026rsquo;s GUID. The code looks like so:\nif($convert-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //Delay necessary that the inquiry would manage to be processed sleep(5); //Make request to api for get document info by job id $jobInfo = $api-\u0026gt;GetJobDocuments($clientId, $convert-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_id); //Get file guid $guid = $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;inputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;outputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;guid; //Generating iframe $iframe = \u0026#39;\u0026lt;iframe src=\u0026#34;https://apps.groupdocs.com/document-viewer/embed/\u0026#39; . $guid . \u0026#39;\u0026#34; frameborder=\u0026#34;0\u0026#34; width=\u0026#34;100%\u0026#34; height=\u0026#34;600\u0026#34;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/iframe\u0026gt;\u0026#39;; } //If request was successfull - set url variable for template return F3::set(\u0026#39;iframe\u0026#39;, $iframe); Lastly, we only need to transfer data which we want to show to the template:\nF3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, $clientId); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, $privateKey); F3::set(\u0026#39;fileId\u0026#39;, $fileId); F3::set(\u0026#39;convert\\_type\u0026#39;, $convert\\_type); // Process template echo Template::serve(\u0026#39;sample2.htm\u0026#39;); ","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/conversion/how-to-convert-files-with-groupdocs-php-sdk/","summary":"This article explains the basics of using PHP SDK classes and methods.

Nowadays, everything is being digitalized, for instance, exams, home works, assignments, result sharing and so on. Suppose you\u0026rsquo;re a teacher. You\u0026rsquo;ll have different assignments, tests, home works, etc. for your students from time to time. The conventional methods are outdated, difficult to track and tedious to store \u0026amp; maintain. So, it\u0026rsquo;s high time to change to a dependable, innovative solution that saves time and effort.

Let\u0026rsquo;s discuss a common scenario where GroupDocs comes in handy. If you need to assign online tests to your students and collect responses, GroupDocs Assembly is the right choice. GroupDocs Assembly lets you and your students perform document automation and document assembly easily. The process is really simple:\nCreate a document template with merge fields Prepare a questionnaire with all types of questions (as required), for example, single choice, multiple choice, detailed answers, etc. Share it with your students to collect answers. The students answer the questionnaire and perform document assembly to create a new, unique document. All related parties are notified as soon as the document is assembled. You can then review these assembled documents and publish the results. To review the document, you can make use of GroupDocs\u0026rsquo; efficient online annotation software. Annotate or collaborate on the assembled documents to review it in real time. Once the review is over, you can upload the results using our efficient online document viewer. GroupDocs Viewer lets you upload the results online and share it with your students. The students can then download or print their result as required. Since GroupDocs Viewer supports all types of common as well as business file formats, you can use it as a PDF viewer, a Word viewer, or an Excel viewer, amongst many other things. In short, we\u0026rsquo;ve seen how our efficient document management apps suite can be used to perform document automation, document assembly, document annotation, and document viewing. There are other scenarios where we use some other GroupDocs apps as a combo pack to satisfy specific requirements.

Today, I\u0026rsquo;ll talk about GroupDocs PHP SDK and how to get started with it. Sometimes, developers ask us how to get our PHP SDK, how to use it with Composer, or how to include it into their project. As we all know, a good beginning is a half the job. So this is how to start developing with the PHP SDK more quickly and efficiently.\nGetting and Using the SDK There are different ways to get PHP SDK. I\u0026rsquo;ll show how to get it and then include it into a PHP application.\nManual Download from GitHub Clone our PHP SDK repo from GitHub (repository is here: https://github.com/groupdocs/groupdocs-php). Copy all files from the src folder (or the entire src folder with files) into the project. Include our main API file:require_once _DIR_.\u0026rsquo;/src/APIClient.php'; After this you can use classes. Code sample:\n\u0026lt;?php require\\_once \\_\\_DIR\\_\\_.\u0026#39;/src/APIClient.php\u0026#39;; $signer = new GroupDocsRequestSigner(12345); $apiClient = new APIClient($signer); echo var\\_dump($signer); echo var\\_dump($apiClient); Getting GroupDocs PHP SDK with Composer and using its Autoloader Composer is a great tool that helps you get and use PHP libraries easily. There is only one issue for developers that are not familiar with Composer: how to get and use it. But it\u0026rsquo;s very easy! There are tons of information about this on the Internet, so I\u0026rsquo;ll provide a sample for Linux users that shows how to:\nGet Composer, download GroupDocs PHP SDK with it, and, finally, use the autoloader generated by Composer. Downloading Composer and GroupDocs PHP SDK For example, to download Composer and the PHP SDK into the sdktest folder in the user\u0026rsquo;s folder (~):\ncd ~\nmkdir sdktest\ncd sdktest\ncurl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php\ngedit composer.json (This create the composer.json file, you should use your editor: vi for example.)\nSource for composer.json file:\n{ \u0026#34;require\u0026#34;: { \u0026#34;groupdocs/groupdocs-php\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;dev-master\u0026#34; } } php composer.phar install Composer downloads the last version of the GroupDocs PHP SDK and (very important!) creates an autoloader. You can find it in the vendor folder.\nCopy all the files in the vendor folder (or the folder itself) and include the autoload.php file into your web app script. (For example: require_once_DIR_.\u0026rsquo;/vendor/autoload.php\u0026rsquo;;).\nAfter this, all methods and classes are available to your script. Some frameworks can work with Composer and its autoloader and include it automatically. So now you know how to get GroupDocs PHP SDK and are ready to start coding your own web oriented Document Management solution with GroupDocs PHP SDK.

The index.php file is responsible for data transmission between a template and the controller. It also includes the FatFree engine, PHP SDK, templates and controllers. In it, you describe which template depends on what controller. For example, F3::route(\u0026lsquo;GET|POST /comparison\u0026rsquo;,\u0026lsquo;comparison.php\u0026rsquo;); means that the template comparison sends data to comparison.php, a file that processes received data and returns results to the template. (We will create this file later.)

In the template file, we will create a form that takes user input and shows the results of a comparison. In the controller, we get data entered by the user, and transfer it for processing. 1. Create two folders in the root folder: \u0026#34;templates\u0026#34; and \u0026#34;inc\\_samples\u0026#34;. 2. In the \u0026#34;templates\u0026#34; folder create the **sample01.htm** file and enter the code below. ``` \u0026lt;\\\\!DOCTYPE html\u0026gt; ``` ### [GroupDocs PHP SDK Samples](/index.php) - Sample19 _This sample will show how to Compare documents using PHP SDK_ You entered: ClientID = {{@userId}} PrivateKey = {{@privateKey}} Source file Id = {{@sourceFileId}} Target file Id = {{@targetFileId}} Call back url = {{@callbackURL}} {{@error}} Enter data for request and press \u0026#34;Make request\u0026#34; button GroupDocs ClientID GroupDocs PrivateKey sourceFileId targetFileId callbackUrl Results: {{@iframe}} #### Understanding sample01.htm This block declares the page styles, title and language: This block shows data entered by the user: {{@variable name}} is syntax for transferring a variable from the controller to a template. You entered:\nClientID = {{@userId}}\nPrivateKey = {{@privateKey}}\nSource file Id = {{@sourceFileId}}\nTarget file Id = {{@targetFileId}}\nCall back url = {{@callbackURL}}\nThis code creates a form with inputs. In the form Action we assign a controller name which we declare in the routes (don\u0026#39;t worry: we will create the controller file later). {{@error}} Enter data for request and press \u0026#34;Make request\u0026#34; button GroupDocs ClientID GroupDocs PrivateKey sourceFileId targetFileId callbackUrl And it\u0026#39;s time to show results.

In the inc\\_sample folder, create a **sample01.php**file containing the code below. ``` \u0026lt;?php //\u0026lt;i\u0026gt;This sample will show how to use \u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Compare\u0026lt;/b\u0026gt; method from ComparisonApi to return a URL representing a single page of a Document\u0026lt;/i\u0026gt; //###Set variables and get POST data F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); f3::set(\u0026#39;result\u0026#39;, \u0026#34;\u0026#34;); $clientId = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;client\\_id\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $privateKey = F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;private\\_key\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $sourceFileId = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;sourceFileId\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $targetFileId = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;targetFileId\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); $callbackUrl = f3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;callbackUrl\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;); function Compare($clientId, $privateKey, $sourceFileId, $targetFileId, $callbackUrl) { //### Check clientId, privateKey and fileGuId if (empty($clientId) || empty($privateKey) || empty($sourceFileId) || empty($targetFileId)) { throw new Exception(\u0026#39;Please enter all required parameters\u0026#39;); } else { //Set variables for Viewer F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, $clientId); F3::set(\u0026#39;privateKey\u0026#39;, $privateKey); //###Create Signer, ApiClient and Storage Api objects //Create signer object $signer = new GroupDocsRequestSigner($privateKey); //Create apiClient object $apiClient = new APIClient($signer); //Create ComparisonApi object $CompareApi = new ComparisonApi($apiClient); //###Make request to ComparisonApi using user id //Comparison of documents were: $clientId - user GuId, $sourceFileId - source file Guid in which will be provided compare, //$targetFileId - file GuId with wich will compare sourceFile, $callbackUrl - Url which will be executed after compare $info = $CompareApi-\u0026gt;Compare($clientId, $sourceFileId, $targetFileId, $callbackUrl); //Check request status if($info-\u0026gt;status == \u0026#34;Ok\u0026#34;) { //Create CAsyncApi object $asyncApi = new AsyncApi($apiClient); //Delay necessary that the inquiry would manage to be processed sleep(5); //Make request to api for get document info by job id $jobInfo = $asyncApi-\u0026gt;GetJobDocuments($clientId, $info-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_id); //Get file guid $guid = $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;outputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;guid; // Construct iframe using fileId $iframe = \u0026#39;\u0026lt;iframe src=\u0026#34;https://apps.groupdocs.com/document-viewer/embed/\u0026#39; . $guid . \u0026#39;\u0026#34; frameborder=\u0026#34;0\u0026#34; width=\u0026#34;100%\u0026#34; height=\u0026#34;600\u0026#34;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/iframe\u0026gt;\u0026#39;; } //If request was successfull - set url variable for template return F3::set(\u0026#39;iframe\u0026#39;, $iframe); } } try { Compare($clientId, $privateKey, $sourceFileId, $targetFileId, $callbackUrl); } catch(Exception $e) { $error = \u0026#39;ERROR: \u0026#39; . $e-\u0026gt;getMessage() . \u0026#34;\\\\n\u0026#34;; f3::set(\u0026#39;error\u0026#39;, $error); } //Process template f3::set(\u0026#39;sourceFileId\u0026#39;, $sourceFileId); f3::set(\u0026#39;targetFileId\u0026#39;, $targetFileId); f3::set(\u0026#39;callbackURL\u0026#39;, $callbackUrl); // f3::set(\u0026#39;result\u0026#39;, $result); echo Template::serve(\u0026#39;sample01.htm\u0026#39;); ``` In this code we have comments for each step but lets take a look at it block by bock. #### Understanding the Controler First, declare all necessary variables. For example, F3::set(\u0026#39;userId\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;\u0026#39;); declares the String variable userId, equal to an empty line. With syntax like F3::set you can declare variables for the template. If you take a look at template code, you\u0026#39;ll see this variable in the You entered block. After we set the template variables, set local variables which get the POST data from thetemplate. In FatFree, you can get POST data with F3::get(\u0026#39;POST\\[\u0026#34;client\\_id\u0026#34;\\]\u0026#39;);. Here, we get data entered by the user into the client\\_id field. F3::set(\u0026lsquo;userId\u0026rsquo;, \u0026lsquo;\u0026rsquo;); F3::set(\u0026lsquo;privateKey\u0026rsquo;, \u0026lsquo;\u0026rsquo;); f3::set(\u0026lsquo;result\u0026rsquo;, \u0026ldquo;\u0026rdquo;); $clientId = F3::get(\u0026lsquo;POST[\u0026ldquo;client_id\u0026rdquo;]\u0026rsquo;); $privateKey = F3::get(\u0026lsquo;POST[\u0026ldquo;private_key\u0026rdquo;]\u0026rsquo;); $sourceFileId = f3::get(\u0026lsquo;POST[\u0026ldquo;sourceFileId\u0026rdquo;]\u0026rsquo;); $targetFileId = f3::get(\u0026lsquo;POST[\u0026ldquo;targetFileId\u0026rdquo;]\u0026rsquo;); $callbackUrl = f3::get(\u0026lsquo;POST[\u0026ldquo;callbackUrl\u0026rdquo;]\u0026rsquo;);\nIn the next step we create a function in which we transfer all the entered data and check if the user filled in all the required fields. function Compare($clientId, $privateKey, $sourceFileId, $targetFileId, $callbackUrl) { //### Check clientId, privateKey and fileGuId if (empty($clientId) || empty($privateKey) || empty($sourceFileId) || empty($targetFileId)) { throw new Exception(\u0026lsquo;Please enter all required parameters\u0026rsquo;); } else {\nNext, create objects of different classes nedded to make a request to the Comparison API. Also, in the first two lines of this block, we set the template variables that do not change. We need these variables for authorization in the API. //Set variables for Viewer F3::set(\u0026lsquo;userId\u0026rsquo;, $clientId); F3::set(\u0026lsquo;privateKey\u0026rsquo;, $privateKey); //###Create Signer, ApiClient and Storage Api objects\n//Create signer object $signer = new GroupDocsRequestSigner($privateKey); //Create apiClient object $apiClient = new APIClient($signer); //Create ComparisonApi object $CompareApi = new ComparisonApi($apiClient); This is the major part of our code, where the magic happens. To compare two documents, simply trigger the necessary method from the Comparison API object. In this case, the method is Compare. This method sends a request to the Comparison API which then does the comparison and sends back an object with the results. The Compare method takes the parameters: * $clientId - user GUID. * $sourceFileId - source file GUID, in which the comparison content is provided. * $targetFileId - the file GUID of the file that will be compared to the source file. * $callbackUrl - URL which will be executed after the comparison. The results of this method is a job ID which we can get by this line: $info-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_id. To see it in a new iframe document generated by the comparison, create an AsyncApi object which has the GetJobDocuments method used to show compared file GUID by job ID. After that, we generate a URL for the iframe. At last we can transfer the generated iframe URL with the compared file GUID to the template. The callback URL is something like Action in the form. You can declare any URL for the handler that will send data to the API when the job is done. //###Make request to ComparisonApi using user id\n//Comparison of documents were: $clientId - user GuId, $sourceFileId - source file Guid in which will be provided compare, //$targetFileId - file GuId with wich will compare sourceFile, $callbackUrl - Url which will be executed after compare $info = $CompareApi-\u0026gt;Compare($clientId, $sourceFileId, $targetFileId, $callbackUrl); //Check request status if($info-\u0026gt;status == \u0026quot;Ok\u0026quot;) { //Create CAsyncApi object $asyncApi = new AsyncApi($apiClient); //Delay necessary that the inquiry would manage to be processed sleep(5); //Make request to api for get document info by job id $jobInfo = $asyncApi-\u0026gt;GetJobDocuments($clientId, $info-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;job\\_id); //Get file guid $guid = $jobInfo-\u0026gt;result-\u0026gt;outputs\\[0\\]-\u0026gt;guid; // Construct iframe using fileId $iframe = '\u0026lt;iframe src=\u0026quot;https://apps.groupdocs.com/document-viewer/embed/' . $guid . '\u0026quot; frameborder=\u0026quot;0\u0026quot; width=\u0026ldquo;100%\u0026rdquo; height=\u0026ldquo;600\u0026rdquo;\u0026gt;\u0026rsquo;;\n} //If request was successfull - set url variable for template return F3::set('iframe', $iframe); } } In the last block of controler code we execute the function. After succeful execution of the function, we can set others variables for the template, such as sourceFileId. try { Compare($clientId, $privateKey, $sourceFileId, $targetFileId, $callbackUrl);\n} catch(Exception $e) { $error = 'ERROR: ' . $e-\u0026gt;getMessage() . \u0026quot;\\\\n\u0026quot;; f3::set('error', $error); } //Process template f3::set('sourceFileId', $sourceFileId); f3::set('targetFileId', $targetFileId); f3::set('callbackURL', $callbackUrl); echo Template::serve('sample01.htm'); ### Run the CodeTo run the sample: 1. Open a browser and go to root/sample01. 2. Fill in a form. ### Summary This is how it works: the template sends data entered by a user to the controller which processes it, creating objects and triggering methods and transferring data to them. When a method is triggered, it sends a request to the API, which in turn processes the transferred data and sends a request to the GroupDocs account. In reply, GroupDocs sends the result of the processing which is transferred back on a chain that is processed graudually. ![Block Diagram](https://blog2.groupdocs.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2013/02/Block-Diagram1.png \u0026#34;Block Diagram\u0026#34;) ","permalink":"https://blog.groupdocs.com/comparison/implement-document-comparison-api-sample-with-php-sdk/","summary":"This article explains the basics of using PHP SDK classes and methods.

We will create a GroupDocs Signature envelope sample with the Sinatra framework. GroupDocs Signature envelopes are used to prepare documents for digital signature and managing the signature process.\nSetting Up First, create the application folders structure:\nyour_app/public – for CSS files. your_app/samples – for sample files. your_app/views – for view files, we will use Haml for these. Also we need to create a Gemfile in our project\u0026rsquo;s root directory with the following content: https://gist.github.com/averjr/4739176\nWriting the Application Lets start our application. Create app.rb file with following content: https://gist.github.com/averjr/4739208\nLines 1-3 requires the Sinatra framework, GroupDocs SDK and haml for our views. Lines 5-7 creates our first root with a view named index.haml. By default, Sinatra looks for view files in views directory. Line 13 includes all Ruby files from the samples directory. Now lets work on the views. Create a parent layout file called layout.haml. https://gist.github.com/averjr/a0313da572e3141811f3 It is really easy to work with HTML using Haml. Find out more about Haml. Here\u0026rsquo;s anonline tool for converting HTML to Haml. Note that in Haml, you don\u0026rsquo;t have to close tags and indents are very important! “= yield” is where child templates are included. In index.haml you\u0026rsquo;ll see an h1 header, div container and ul list with one list element that links to our envelope sample: https://gist.github.com/averjr/c23ab36e0b8e3415dc8e You can add any HTML attribute like this: {:your_attribute =\u0026gt; “your attribute value”}.\nThe Starting Point Before creating the envelope sample, lets look at what we have. To avoid problems with starting the application, use rvm. (This article explains how to install rvm.) Now install a local bundle by typing this command in a terminal, while in the app directory:\ngem install bundler If it is installed already, use this command:\nbundle install --path vendor/bundle And now you could start the application:\nbundle exec ruby app.rb In the terminal, you will see something like this: [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_1501\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;aligncenter\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;535\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;Terminal - Terminal massages after starting Sinatra server\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption] Open in you browser with the URL http://localhost:4567/ and you will see the following: [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_1502\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;aligncenter\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;409\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;Index page - Index page of our app without CSS\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption] Add a little CSS in public/css directory: https://gist.github.com/averjr/4752864 Re-load the page and you will see: [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_1503\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;aligncenter\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;705\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;Index page with CSS - After adding CSS the page looks like this\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption]\nCreating the Envelope Example Lets create envelope_sample.haml in your views directory with the following content:https://gist.github.com/averjr/4739266 We have created a form that sends the ClientID, PrivateKey and the file to be signed.

Read more about them on the Mozilla website. As an example, I’ll use the GroupDocs add-on. (You can download the source code from Github.) It\u0026rsquo;s an advanced extension so I’ll focus on the basics and highlight a couple of interesting aspects communication between scripts. I\u0026rsquo;ll mainly look at the add-on folders data and lib in the /resources/groupdocsviewer/ folder.\nCreating an add-on: main.jsThe main.js file, located in the lib folder, is the entry point for the extension. It is executed when you install the add-on and then each time the browser is launched. At the top of the file is a ;ist of libraries linked in using the SDK command require(): The widget library is used to create the icon that users click to open the GroupDocs add-on’s main window. Object data from the library called self is used to access files in the data folder. This folder holds all the JavaScript files, libraries, pictures, text files, HTML files, styles and other resources that the add-on needs. The panel library creates the GroupDocs window that contains the add-on interface. The passwords library stores personal information in the FireFox Password Manager. [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_1460\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;aligncenter\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;393\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;Linking libraries, creating widget and panel\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption] After connecting to the required libraries, the script creates a panel. This loads HTML content from the data folder and sets the dimensions of the add-on window. As well as creating the panel, any JavaScripts that the add-on uses are loaded at this point. Note that the scripts attached to the panel do not have access to the main.js context, nor does main.js have access to the panel context. More about that later. Once the panel is created, the script creates a widget. The widget is a button that can be seen in FireFox’s add-ons panel. To create the widget, define an ID, a label and an image. The image is the icon that users click to start the GroupDocs extension. Lastly, define the panel that will be launched when the icon is clicked. The code that follows the widget definition consists of message handlers.\nCommunication between scriptsI mentioned that the scripts that run in the add-on interface do not have access to the main.js file\u0026rsquo;s context. They also can\u0026rsquo;t call the FireFox API: the FireFox API only works within the main.js context. This means that the add-on has two execution contexts: the main.js file, which as access to the FireFox API, and script files that work with the add-on window\u0026rsquo;s DOM model. Since main.js and the scripts that run in the panel don\u0026rsquo;t have direct access to each other\u0026rsquo;s content, we need to use messages to communicate between the two. To send a messages from main.js, use the panel object’s port.emit() method. It takes two parameters: the message, as a string, and the object the message is for. [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_1461\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;aligncenter\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;581\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;Use panel.port.emit function for sending message from main.js\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption] To receive messages from the main.js file, use the panel class’ port.on() method. This too takes two parameters: the message, as a string, and the parameter handling function. When a message arrives, this function can take the second parameter of the sent object – port.emit(). [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_1464\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;aligncenter\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;282\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;Use panel.on function for receiving message from main.js\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption] Credential managementGroupDocs defines a message handler for storing and removing credentials in FireFox’s Password Manager. This process illustrates how to pass messages between main.js and the GroupDocs window. The first message is received when a user logs in and has selected the Remember me option. The second message is received when a user clicks Logout. You\u0026rsquo;ll notice, in the main.js file, in the first function, that the script checks whether the user is already logged in. If they are, the panel sends a message containing the login data. This way, users do not have to log in every time they restart the browser. Messages to other ScriptsJavaScript files connected to the panel are executed within the panel in the order that they are listed. This is important because it allows you to load any number of libraries and then also files that use those libraries. One of the files called by the main.js file to create the main panel is popup.js. It initializes handlers for all the controls in the add-on window. This file also contains the all the extension\u0026rsquo;s logic. Sending and receiving messages here is a little more complicated. The methods port.on() and port.emit() are located within the object itself, and the object is available in the global context, that is, it\u0026rsquo;s not visible to other functions or objects. Keep a reference to the object so that you can use it when you run the file. It is worth noticing that to start carrying out any actions in the popup.js file follows not in the first line of the file, but in the method which has received the message from the main.js file. SummaryThis is how it works: widgets and panels are created in main.js. Then we have a message handler that ensures that a “show” message is generated when the panel is displayed. Code in main.js catches the message and sends a similar message to popup.js. Code in popup.js catches the message and initialises the extension. [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_1465\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;aligncenter\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;573\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;Transit of the message of \u0026lsquo;show\u0026rsquo;\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption] popup.js starts working as soon as the panel has been displayed and a DOM model add-on is ready to use. It functions as any site: JavaScripts respond, the DOM is modified as needed and AJAX requests are made. To interact with the FireFox API, send a message to main.js which, after working with the FireFox API, sends a message back to popup.js with the results.

This post looks at how to use Swagger to test the GroupDocs APIs. Before showing you how to run a test, it explains Swagger and REST, and why we use them.\nWhy we use Swagger and REST Swagger is a specification and a framework for building interactive API documentation and sandboxes, and to generate the code of an API client. Swagger (http://swagger.wordnik.com/) was developed by http://wordnik.com in the course of the development of their own API (http://developer.wordnik.com/docs). The Swagger specification itself does not depend on specific programming languages, instead Swagger implementations are available in Scala, Java and HTML5. The API code generators (https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen) are available in Scala, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, PHP, and Actionscript 3. Swagger can be found in github (https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core) as can its supporting documentation (https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/wiki). To develop your own API server, you may follow the tutorial (https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/wiki/tutorial). You\u0026rsquo;ll find project examples there too (https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/tree/master/samples). The main purpose of the Swagger project is to update documentation and API clients as fast as the service itself.\nSwagger UI The Swagger UI framework allows both developers and non-developers to interact with an API server in a simple and understandable way. While visualizing all the features of API the developer can test how the server responds to parameters and variables. The Swagger UI does not have any software dependencies and is very easy to use. Built with only HTML/CSS/JavaScript, it does not have very pleasant or intuitive interface yet. It may be run both locally and on the server. It may downloaded from Github (https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/downloads). A simple demo may be found on the Swagger developer\u0026rsquo;s website (http://petstore.swagger.wordnik.com/).\nREST REST is a style of software architecture for building distributed systems. The author of REST is Roy Fielding who is also one of the authors of the HTTP protocol. In REST, data is transferred with the help of a limited quantity of formats (HTML, XML, JSON) via HTTP. REST perfectly suits the development of extensible web-services.\nSwagger UI example - GroupDocs Swagger UI Groupdocs uses Swagger for its own purposes and seeks to help developers get familiarized with the features of our API in detaile. A Swagger UI for the GroupDocs API may be found at the following link: https://api.groupdocs.com/v2.0/spec/.. Alternatively, download your Swagger UI and acquire all the methods from this link: https://api.groupdocs.com/v2.0/spec/spec-files/resources.json. The easiest way to master an API is to follow an example. First off you need to know your API key and the client ID specific to your GroupDocs account. You can find them in GroupDocs:\nTo get the API key: Select the menu option My Account, then API and API Key. To get the client ID: Select My Account, then API and Client ID. Let us test an API on a simple example. Let\u0026rsquo;s say we need to acquire information on storage. Our actions:\nOpen https://api.groupdocs.com/v2.0/spec/ and specify your API Key in the top right corner. Open the Storage tab. We see a list with all possible actions. Select Get storage info. [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_1407\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;alignnone\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;802\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;Swagger UI home page with list of applications\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption] In the frame we can see the parameters required to compile and submit a request.

The value field indicates which type of value it should be and if it is necessary or not. In our case we need to specify only one required parameter: userId, also known as Client ID, acquired above. After completing all required fields, click Try it on! and wait for the server to respond. The response from the server consists of four pieces of information: Request URL, Response Code, Response Body and Response Headers.

In this post I\u0026rsquo;ll explain how to create an integration with the GroupDocs Storage API. Put simply the process of integration with Zapier is Read -\u0026gt; Process -\u0026gt; Write. The left side of the integration is called a trigger and the right side is an action. The central process simply converts your API response to a format suitable for the write action. We are going to create a trigger for new files. When you upload files to your GroupDocs account, a Zap (Zapier app) gets the file details and sends them (the write action) to one of the supported services. In this example, we\u0026rsquo;ll simply send an email using Gmail. Here is the brief overview of what needs to be done:\nCreate GroupDocs Storage service. Add Auth Fields to support GroupDocs URL Signing based authentication. Create a trigger for the Storage.ListEntities operation. Use Zapier\u0026rsquo;s Javascript API to implement GroupDocs URL Signing. Test. 1. Create GroupDocs Storage Service Go to https://zapier.com/developer/app/create/. Fill in the form with following information: Title: GroupDocs Storage Description: Create/Read/Update/Delete users\u0026rsquo; files and folders. Click Save. A new page is loaded, with the name of the app. 2. Add Auth Fields In Zapier, click Add a new auth field in the Auth Fields section. Fill in the form with the following information: Label: Client ID Key: client_id Type: Unicode Required: Yes Help text: Get it from https://apps.groupdocs.com/My/Manage Click Save button. Now repeat the same steps to add an Auth Field for the API key: Label: API Key Key: private_key Type: Password Required: Yes Help text: Get it from https://apps.groupdocs.com/My/Manage Click Save. 3. Create a Trigger The trigger recognizes that files have been uploaded and passes them to the process. Setting up a trigger involves several steps: adding a new trigger, adding polling info, adding a trigger field and, finally, adding sample results.\nStill in Zapier, click Add a new trigger. in the Triggers section. Fill in the form with following information: Label: New File Key: new_file Help text: New file uploaded to GroupDocs. Important: On Data Source: Polling Click Save. The Trigger page is updated so you can enter polling info. Paste the following into the Polling: URL Route field: client_id/folders/path?order_by=CreatedOn\u0026amp;order_asc=False Click Save. 3a. Add Trigger Field for the path Placeholder Click Add a new trigger field. .

Here at GroupDocs, we\u0026rsquo;re excited to announce the release of the long-awaited PDF viewer plugin for Joomla CMS. The plugin allows you to easily embed and host PDF documents (as well as Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents) on your Joomla website. We\u0026rsquo;ve been working hard to make the installation process and plugin deployment hassle-free for Joomla web-developers and website owners. At the same time, our aim was to make the document viewer interface convenient for the end users - your website visitors. We think we\u0026rsquo;ve achieved that task by 200%. Let\u0026rsquo;s now take a closer look at the key features and benefits of using our PDF viewer plugin on your Joomla website. Joomla PDF Viewer Plugin - Key Features \u0026amp; Benefits 1. No Flash or any web-browser plugins required. Our PDF viewer plugin doesn\u0026rsquo;t convert documents to images, and outperform all Flash-based viewers in both usability and reliability. Your website visitors don\u0026rsquo;t need to install any web-browser plugins or Flash to view embedded documents. Any document can be viewed in any modern web-browser. 2. Support for all common business document formats. With the GroupDocs Viewer plugin for Joomla, you can embed and host not only PDF files, but also all common Microsoft Office documents, including word-processing documents (DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, ODT, etc.), Excel spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX, CSV, etc.) and PowerPoint presentations (PPT, PPTX). 3. Real text documents, not images. GroupDocs Viewer renders both PDF and Microsoft Office files as real text documents. This allows visitors, for example, to select and copy text right from the embedded document. And if you don\u0026rsquo;t want users to copy text for some reason, you can easily restrict this feature. 4. High quality rendering. Thanks to native text rendering, hosted documents look just as the originals. Font styles, formatting and document layout always remain intact! 5. Convenient navigation. Apart from simple scrolling, users can turn pages with the Go Forward/Backward buttons, jump straight to a specified page and preview pages with thumbnails. We also supplied our document viewer with a search feature, which allows users to quickly find a text block in the document. 6. Many other handy features. There are many other features designed to make your website visitors delighted with the on-page document viewing experience. For example, users can zoom in to or out of documents for comfortable reading, use double-page flipping, download or print the original document right from a web-page, etc.\nInstalling the PDF Viewer Plugin on Your Joomla Website Our PDF viewer plugin has been recently tested and approved by Joomla admins and is now available for download from the official Joomla Extensions Directory. Please note: before installing the plugin, you need to register with us. We provide a free 14-day trial, so that you can test the viewer before committing. You can find a detailed instruction on how to install and use the Joomla PDF Viewer plugin in our documentation directory.

We\u0026rsquo;re excited that our first anniversary is on our door steps. GroupDocs started its operation in Jan 12th, 2012 as a one-stop shop for all your document management requirements. We aimed at bridging the gap between desktop and cloud computing. For that reason, we opted using Web 2.0 to bridge the platform gap. To serve you with a bunch of apps that are essential for your document management needs, we started off by providing your with the following apps, all under a single roof:\nGroupDocs Viewer GroupDocs Signature GroupDocs Annotation GroupDocs Assembly GroupDocs Comparison Within a year, we\u0026rsquo;ve introduced a new app, the GroupDocs Conversion, in addition to our legacy apps; enhanced our existing UIs to include efficient work flows and features; extended our plugin support to many different platforms and CMSs; integrated with multiple 3rd party storage providers; and enhanced our API SDKs; just to name a few. We\u0026rsquo;re happy that our document management solutions were successful in making your document management and document collaboration processes quicker and easier.

With GroupDocs Conversion, you can convert different types of word processing documents (DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, ODT), presentations (PPT, PPTX), spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX), portable files (PDF), and image files (JPG, BMP, GIF, TIFF) to other file formats. Following figure gives you an idea of the file formats supported by GroupDocs Conversion.

All of our apps have undergone substantial modifications to improve the user experience. Improvements include a new streamlined work flow that walks you through each and every step; various uploading options; thumbnail preview of the uploaded document; addition of new features and tools; new options to export, download, print the manipulated document; addition of tools tips and help link to provide you with additional help; support for all business and common file formats; and so on. Lately, we\u0026rsquo;ve rolled out the GroupDocs Annotation v2.0 beta and GroupDocs Assembly v2.0 beta with advanced features. Both these versions include enhanced, yet easy-to-follow workflows. Moreover, GroupDocs Annotation v2.0 beta consists of new Typewriter and Watermark features, which will take your annotation experience to new heights. The simple work flow for each application lets you complete the desired process quickly and easily. The UI improvements made the apps so intuitive that even a novice user can easily operate our apps without any additional help. We\u0026rsquo;re in the process of constantly improving the apps at GroupDocs, so you can expect more enhancements in 2013 also.\nIntegration with 3rd-Party Storage Solutions In addition to the default, stable storage option from GroupDocs, we offer you multiple storage options to make the storage options more flexible. We\u0026rsquo;ve joined hands with multiple 3rd party storage service providers so that you can now choose your default storage option from a variety of storage providers. You can now set up Windows Azure or Amazon S3 as your default storage service providers from within your GroupDocs account. Also, you can access your DropBox and Box.com files and folders from within GroupDocs.\nIntegration with Multiple Platforms and CMSs 2012 was a busy year for our developers. Apart from enhancing the existing apps, creating new versions, etc., our developers were busy designing efficient plugins for multiple platforms and CMSs. Last year, we were able to create plugins for three of our legacy apps, such as GroupDocs Viewer, GroupDocs Annotation and GroupDocs Assembly. We\u0026rsquo;ve created these plugins for many different platforms including .NET, Java, PHP, Pearl, Ruby, Python, JS, etc. On top of that, our developers made sure to extend our reach to almost all the available CMSs.

You’ve found your way to GroupDocs and the GroupDocs blog so chances are that you have an idea about document management. It’s simply the process of keeping track or and managing the various documents you use. Creating a professional-looking template, storing it online and sharing it with your colleagues so that they can all use it is all document management. So is customising contracts, sending them out for signing and archiving the signed documents. Document assembly allows you to automate document creation to save you time and effort.\nWhy Do I Need Document Assembly? What makes document assembly so useful is obvious from the other name for this function: document automation. It allows you to automate data collection and make it specific to a particular document. You can re-use the document again and again, creating a new, unique document each time. It’s commonly used to put together legal documents, contracts and letters, bringing together sections of text with data from other sources. Mail merging, for example, is a type of document assembly. [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_329\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;aligncenter\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;338\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;Document assembly: take a template, add data and create a new document.\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption]\nGive Me an Example! Imagine that you own a painter business. People call you to get their walls painted. Before you can give them a quote, there are certain things you need to know: the number of rooms or walls, whether they need the ceiling done too, or the woodwork, what the approximate square footage of the area you’ll paint will be, and if there are any special conditions (very dark or textured wall, for example, or if a room has unusually high ceilings). You can put all of these questions into a quote document and send it to the potential client. They fill it in and create a unique document from which you can quickly prepare a quote or visit to give the place a once-over before quoting.

We\u0026rsquo;re not stopping there. We\u0026rsquo;re also making changes to GroupDocs Assembly. GroupDocs Assembly is an app that lets you automate document assembly and automation. Think of your document as a form that you can use to create several new documents from. You start with a template document. In the template, there are a number of fields that will collect information, for example, name, address, date. (These are straightforward examples but you can use GroupDocs Assembly to create really sophisticated forms and collect all kinds of data.) In GroupDocs Assembly, associate questions with the different fields. We call this \u0026ldquo;creating a questionnaire\u0026rdquo;. When you send the document out, the recipient answer the questions. When all questions have been answered - when the questionnaire is complete - a new document is created. The new document looks like the template but contains all the information that the recipient provided. GroupDocs Assembly helps you set up documents that you can use again and again to collect information and generate unique documents. It\u0026rsquo;s convenient, safe and quick. To make it easier to use, we\u0026rsquo;re improving the interface and adding a workflow to help lead you through the assembly process.\nEasy-to-follow WorkflowThe assembly process follows the same path every time: Choose a template.

The whole online document signing process is pretty simple, but recently we\u0026rsquo;ve added several new features to make it even more convenient: Contacts - allows you to add and save signers\u0026rsquo; contact details. Signatures - lets you store your signature(s) in GroupDocs to make signing even faster. Templates - allows you to save common documents as templates and reuse them when needed.

Today, I\u0026rsquo;ll show you how to perform two tasks: first, how to convert the pages in a document to images and then how to convert an image from one format to another. Document conversion is one of the services that GroupDocs offers. You can convert documents you\u0026rsquo;ve uploaded to a number of different formats. Exactly which formats depends on the type of document. Microsoft Word files can be converted to all kinds of different formats, from plain text TXT files to HTML. You can also convert the pages in a document to images that you can then use in presentations, other documents or online. For example, you can convert from PDF to JPG, DOC to JPG and many other file formats. As well as document to image conversion, you can use GroupDocs to perform image to image conversion. Image files, for example PNGs, JPGs and so on, can be converted to other image files. You do image conversion from the GroupDocs dashboard.\nDocument conversion: converting a document to a series of images Navigate to a document in GroupDocs dashboard. Click Convert. Select a format from the list. Click Convert. Each page in the document is converted to an image and saved with the new file extension. For example, if you selected JPG, all pages as converted to JPG files. Images are saved to a ZIP file that you can download. The ZIP is also saved to the My Conversions folder.

There are lots of different reasons why this is such a big deal. If you\u0026rsquo;ve never been sent a file you couldn\u0026rsquo;t open, or had a file you sent somewhere returned to you because the recipient couldn\u0026rsquo;t open it - you\u0026rsquo;ve been lucky! It is becoming much easier to send documents from one application or operating system to another. In the mid-90s, a Word document created on a Mac, for example, could not easily be opened on a Windows PC. Now, what operating system you have isn\u0026rsquo;t a barrier to sharing documents. The problems now is mostly which programs, and which program versions, you have. Still, converting documents is still not always easy.\nConverting documents saves time and effort Below is a list of six different occasions when it is really handy to be able to convert documents between formats. Four of the examples start with a Microsoft Word file, DOC, and converts it to other formats: DOC to HTML, DOC to PDF, DOC to JPG and, finally, DOC to ODT. I also explain why you might want to convert between Word versions: DOCX to DOC. Not all documents are word documents so there\u0026rsquo;s also a scenario for when you might want to convert a PowerPoint presentation to image file: PPTX to JPG. At the end, you\u0026rsquo;ll hopefully have a good idea of why converting documents is useful and how GroupDocs can help you.\nYour brochure would work great as pages on your website - DOC to HTMLWhen you run a small company you often find yourself doing everything, from the core focus of your business to marketing, finance and administration. You put together presentation to sell your product or services to potential clients, you write brochure and do a lot of your own graphic design. It makes your life easier if you can re-use some of the materials that you create. With GroupDocs you can convert DOC and DOCX files to a whole host of other formats, including HTML. This means that you can easily turn your Word brochure into pages that you can include on your website.\nYou want to give someone a document that cannot be edited - DOC to PDFSometimes you don\u0026rsquo;t want people to be able to edit the documents you send them. Take the brochure we talked about earlier, for example. You don\u0026rsquo;t want to send the Word original to people but rather something they cannot edit. PDF files are perfect for this. With GroupDocs, you can convert almost any document to PDF. The great thing about PDFs is that most people can read them, they can\u0026rsquo;t be edited and they look like the original document. PDFs are common on the web: you can easily put a link to a PDF file on your website. But not all programs have features for converting documents to PDF, or saving documents to PDF. [caption id=\u0026ldquo;attachment_108\u0026rdquo; align=\u0026ldquo;aligncenter\u0026rdquo; width=\u0026ldquo;650\u0026rdquo; caption=\u0026ldquo;Converting a Word file to PDF.\u0026rdquo;]\r[/caption] There are many different uses for PDF files. PDF is also a handy format for archiving files once they are complete. For example, convert invoices to PDF files and upload them to your online accounting software to have copies that can be opened by anyone, anywhere but cannot be edited. You\u0026rsquo;ll find that there are lots of plugins and online applications for converting documents to PDF. GroupDocs makes sure that the converted document looks like the original and lets you convert to other formats too.\nA picture of a document would look good on your website - DOC to JPGSo, you have a website and you\u0026rsquo;ve created a brand new brochure. You want it on the website, but not as a set of pages, the way I descried in point 2 above. Instead, you want a picture of the attractive cover on your website. People can then click the image to download a PDF you prepared earlier. With GroupDocs, you can convert documents to a variety of different formats, including images. From DOC and DOCX you can convert to JPG, a popular online format. If you want to use a different image you can convert the JPG to PNG or GIF both popular internet image formats.\nA slide in one of your presentations would look good in another document - PPTX to JPGWhen you have worked hard to make a great presentation, you\u0026rsquo;ll want to re-use the information and graphics on the slides. As with Microsoft Word documents, you can convert the slides in a presentation to images which you can then use in other presentations, documents or websites.

Five years later, not everyone has a word processing program that can work with DOCX, but need DOC or other types of files. Someone who can save to DOCX can also save to DOC. But if you get a DOCX and you need DOC, what do you do? You can ask the originator to save the document in the right format and send it back to you. Or you can upload the file to GroupDocs and convert it to DOC - or any other format that you want.\nYou\u0026rsquo;re working with someone who doesn\u0026rsquo;t have Microsoft Office - DOC to ODTMicrosoft Office is almost - but not quite - everywhere. There\u0026rsquo;s a similar product called OpenOffice (LibreOffice is based on the same core) that is free and quite popular. The default format for OpenOffice\u0026rsquo;s word processing application is ODT (open document). GroupDocs can convert Word documents to a number of different formats, including ODT.

Saying that, we realize that one of the reasons that you\u0026rsquo;re interested in GroupDocs is the storage feature. So what\u0026rsquo;s document storage all about and what should you look for when choosing a online storage service?\n1. Storage Space The first thing to consider is what you want to store and how much space you\u0026rsquo;ll need. Documents differ in size and it can be difficult to estimate document sizes. For example, video and audio files are huge compared to text files. Look at War and Peace: as a simple TXT file is is 3.3MB in size. As an MP3 audio book, it is over 875MB. That\u0026rsquo;s 265 times the size. You probably already have documents of the type you want to store. Look at them and estimate:\nhow many files you already have, their average size, and how many similar files you accumulate in a given time. Many online document management contracts are for a year, so try to estimate the number of new files your create every month and multiply by 12. This gives you an idea of how your storage needs will grow and helps you decide how much space you need.\nThink about archiving documents Companies need to store a lot of files that would once have been saved on paper: contracts, invoices, letters and that kind of thing. Some of them have to be stored for a specific time. In the UK, companies have to save receipts, invoices and all other financial paper work for five years for tax reasons. In the US, it\u0026rsquo;s up to seven years, depending on a variety of factors. That doesn\u0026rsquo;t mean that you have to keep the documents on your document store for that time. Documents that you don\u0026rsquo;t need very often can be archived, that is removed from the online storage and saved to, for example, DVDs . It\u0026rsquo;s sensible to think about archiving when you\u0026rsquo;re calculating how much storage you need since a good archive strategy will periodically free up space.\n2. Document Storage Cost What are you willing to pay for online document storage? Does the file storage service you\u0026rsquo;re considering have a free account? Are there ways in which you can earn more free storage? Remember that archiving documents once you no longer need them is a good way of limiting the amount of file storage that you need to pay for.\n3. Document Security You need to know that your documents will be secure. That means that no one else should be able to access your documents unless you explicitly share them. It\u0026rsquo;s a good idea to do a web search for complaints about the storage platform you\u0026rsquo;re considering to see if there has been any security breaches recently.\n4. Online File Storage Features Is online file storage really all you want? Does the online storage you\u0026rsquo;re looking at offer any other features - integration with other services, conversion, easy sharing, signatures or assembly? Before picking a service, make sure that it offers all the features that you need. Changing platforms is not difficult but choosing an online storage solution is a little like buying a bookshelf. It\u0026rsquo;s not something you do every day so it is worth taking time to make the right decision. You want the service you chose to fit with the way you work now and in the future.\nGroupDocs GroupDocs offers a lot more than just file storage. The true value of GroupDocs is in the applications we offer:\nDocument Conversion: convert between file formats so that you and your colleagues can work in the format that suits you best. GroupDocs Viewer: view any document, regardless of the format, print and embed an image of a page on your website. GroupDocs Signature: collate documents and arrange for them to be digitally signed. GroupDocs Comparison: see the differences between two documents. GroupDocs Annotation: comment and collaborate on a document whether you have the software it was created in.

You can\u0026rsquo;t edit the document here, but you can search and copy text and print the document. Compare it to another document. Document comparison is really useful if you have two documents that might be the same, but have different names, or if you have several versions of a document and want to see what the difference between them is. GroupDocs Comparison lets you compare two documents and save a new document with Microsoft Word change tracking so that you can edit the document online.
