Road Map for Essential Studio for WinForms

Road Map for Essential Studio® for WinForms

Excel Library

Autofill series

This feature allows users to fill a range of cells with sequential values based on an increment or a specified pattern, saving time and effort.

Word Library

Editable regions in protected documents

The .NET Word library allows users to set editable regions in protected documents, enabling specific parts to remain editable while the rest stay locked. This is useful for templates or forms like contracts, where users can update only designated parts of the Word document without altering the rest.

Word-to-PDF and image conversion enhancements

Advanced shape formatting

This feature includes gradient fill, transparency in fill, and pattern fill. It ensures that visually rich Word documents are accurately rendered in PDFs and images. 

Recolor pictures

This feature preserves recolor effects such as grayscale, sepia, and color tone adjustments applied to images in Word documents. This ensures consistent visual presentation in PDFs and images, especially for marketing materials and branded reports.

Improve symbol rendering

Fallback fonts will be used when a symbol’s glyph is missing in the specified font. This prevents missing characters and ensures the correct rendering of symbols in the converted PDF and image formats.

Crop to shape

This feature preserves images cropped to predefined shapes like ovals during Word to PDF and image conversions. This is especially useful in resumes, where profile pictures are often shaped for a clean and professional look.

Localized Date and Time fields

Date and Time fields will be rendered in the appropriate regional format during PDF and image conversions based on the language specified for each field in the Word document. This ensures culturally appropriate formatting for multilingual audiences.

Multilingual list numbering

List number formats such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and Thai will be preserved during Word to PDF and image conversions. This maintains the intended numbering style in multilingual documents for improved readability.

Page number styles

This feature supports advanced page number formatting in PDF and image conversions, including formats and separators like hyphens or colons. This is especially useful for technical manuals or academic documents that follow structured pagination for easy navigation and referencing.

Combining diacritical characters rendering

Combining diacritical characters will be accurately rendered during Word to PDF and image conversions. This ensures that scripts such as Hindi or Arabic are displayed accurately, maintaining text clarity and linguistic precision in multilingual documents.

PDF Library

Embed subset fonts in PDF to PDF/A conversion

This feature lets users embed subset fonts when converting PDF to PDF/A. Subsetting fonts helps reduce the final size of the document.

AES GSM encryption

This feature provides advanced security by enabling AES GSM encryption for PDF documents, ensuring that sensitive information is protected with robust encryption mechanisms.

Form fields grouping

This feature allows users to group form fields in a PDF document, enabling better organization and streamlined data management. Grouped fields can be manipulated together, improving efficiency in form processing.
