    Package Description
    DevExpress.Document.Processor Includes the following Office & PDF File API products:
    - Spreadsheet Document API
    - Word Processing Document API
    - PDF Document API
    DevExpress.Docs.Pdf Add this package to your project and use an object-oriented API model to create, load, modify, secure, and analyze PDF documents. DevExpress PDF Document API (New) and its strongly typed document object model (DOM) give you full access to the document structure: pages, content fragments (text, images, and shapes), annotations, form fields, metadata, attachments, and logical structure elements.
    DevExpress.Drawing Contains the basic drawing functionality for DevExpress components. This library ships with the DevExpress primitives, which serve as counterparts for the System.Drawing primitives (Font, Pen, Brush, and so on). See also: DevExpress.Drawing Graphics Library.
    DevExpress.Drawing.Skia Contains cross-platform drawing implementation based on the Skia Graphics Library.
    DevExpress.RichEdit.Core Contains runtime assemblies for the Word Processing Document API.
    DevExpress.Printing.Core Contains the Excel Export Library.
    DevExpress.Docs.Presentation Implements functionality specific to the DevExpress Presentation API Library. This non-visual library allows you to work with PowerPoint presentations in code: generate, modify, print, and export to various formats.
    DevExpress.Docs.Barcode Implements functionality specific to the DevExpress Barcode Generation API . This non-visual library allows you to create barcodes and then export them as images or PDFs for documents or UI workflows.

    Note: You need a license to the DevExpress Office & PDF File API Subscription or DevExpress Universal Subscription to use Office & PDF File API packages in production code.
