It is a .NET API that enhances your apps to perform document, spreadsheets, DSV & XML files editing operations for a wide range of file formats.

What's New in v.24.8.0

New Features and Enhancements:

• Refactored Document Format Class: Introduced improvements to the Formats.IDocumentFormat class to resolve issues encountered in Node.js environments. This refactor enhances compatibility and stability when using GroupDocs.Editor across different platforms, particularly in web-based applications (EDITORNET-2823).
• Flexible Editor Constructors: Added new constructors for the Editor class, providing developers with more options when initializing the Editor instance. These constructors allow for better customization and flexibility in document editing workflows:
  • Editor(DocumentFormatBase): Create a new empty document based on a specified format.
  • Editor(Stream): Initialize an Editor instance using a document from a stream.
  • Editor(Stream, ILoadOptions): Initialize an Editor instance with stream input and specific load options.
  • Editor(string, ILoadOptions): Initialize an Editor instance using a file path and load options.

Deprecation of Obsolete Constructors:

• The following constructors have been marked as obsolete and will be removed in future releases to streamline the API:
  • Editor(Func<Stream>)
  • Editor(Func<Stream>, Func<ILoadOptions>)
  • Editor(string, Func<ILoadOptions>)

Bug Fixes:

• HTML Document Background Color Issue: Fixed a critical bug where an exception was thrown when saving an edited HTML document that had a background color applied to the text. This fix ensures that HTML documents with customized styles are saved correctly without errors (EDITORNET-2819).

Public API Changes:

• The newly added constructors provide more robust options for document creation and editing, offering greater control over how documents are loaded and processed within the GroupDocs.Editor environment.

Load, Edit & Save Multi-tab Spreadsheet via C# Code

//1. Get a path to the input file (or stream with file content).
//In this case it is sample XLSX (OOXML) with two tabs.
string inputFilePath = Constants.SAMPLE_XLSX;

//2. Load it into Editor instance from stream
using(FileStream inputStream = File.OpenRead(inputFilePath)) {
    using(Editor editor = new Editor(delegate {
        return inputStream;
    }, delegate {
        return new SpreadsheetLoadOptions();
    })) {
//3. Let's create an intermediate EditableDocument from 1st tab
SpreadsheetEditOptions editOptions1 = new SpreadsheetEditOptions();
editOptions1.WorksheetIndex = 0; //index is 0-based
EditableDocument firstTabBeforeEdit = editor.Edit(editOptions1);

//4. Let's create an intermediate EditableDocument from 2nd tab
SpreadsheetEditOptions editOptions2 = new SpreadsheetEditOptions();
editOptions2.WorksheetIndex = 1; //index is 0-based
EditableDocument secondTabBeforeEdit = editor.Edit(editOptions2);

//5. Save first tab from EditableDocument #1 to separate document
SpreadsheetSaveOptions saveOptions1 = new SpreadsheetSaveOptions(SpreadsheetFormats.Xlsm);
string outputFilename1 = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(inputFilePath) + "_tab1.xlsm";
string outputPath1 = Path.Combine(Constants.GetOutputDirectoryPath(), outputFilename1);
editor.Save(firstTabBeforeEdit, outputPath1, saveOptions1);

//6. Save the second tab from EditableDocument #2 to separate document
SpreadsheetSaveOptions saveOptions2 = new SpreadsheetSaveOptions(SpreadsheetFormats.Xlsb);
string outputFilename2 = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(inputFilePath) + "_tab2.xlsb";
string outputPath2 = Path.Combine(Constants.GetOutputDirectoryPath(), outputFilename2);
editor.Save(secondTabBeforeEdit, outputPath2, saveOptions2);

//7. Dispose both EditableDocument instances
firstTabBeforeEdit.Dispose();
secondTabBeforeEdit.Dispose();
}
