—Dear GroupDocs customers,
We are pleased to announce the release of GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET v26.7 (GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET 26.7 Release Notes). This update adds Microsoft Publisher as a source format across most target families, introduces Windows‑specific builds that bring Windows ARM64 into the supported matrix, and removes the need for binding redirects on .NET Framework.
Key New Features
- Microsoft Publisher as a Source Format: Publisher documents now convert to spreadsheets, e‑books, presentations, images, web pages, Word documents and page description languages. There’s no new API to learn — point the converter at a .pub file and pick your target.
- Windows Target Frameworks and Runtime Packages: The library now ships net6.0-windows, net8.0-windows and net10.0-windows builds alongside the existing cross‑platform ones, with matching runtime packages. The cross‑platform builds keep the platform‑neutral presentation stack, the Windows builds use the Windows‑native one, and that’s what unlocks Windows ARM64. You still reference only GroupDocs.Conversion; the right assets are picked from your project’s target framework. Only Windows ARM64 users need to act, by retargeting to one of the net*-windows TFMs.
- Automatic Dependency Resolution on .NET Framework: GroupDocs.Conversion now resolves its own dependency assemblies from its folder, so binding redirects aren’t required for them anymore. This helps setups where redirects never get applied in the first place, such as COM and unmanaged hosts that create the object via CreateObject.
Major Improvements & Fixes
- Fix — EML to PDF table overflow: Wide table content no longer runs off the page; it’s paginated correctly in the resulting PDF. A new PageLayoutOptions property on EmailLoadOptions also lets you scale wide content to the page width:
EmailLoadOptions loadOptions = new EmailLoadOptions
{
ConvertOwned = false,
DisplayBccEmailAddress = true,
DisplayCcEmailAddress = true,
PreserveOriginalDate = true,
TimeZoneOffset = TimeSpan.FromHours(1),
DisplayAttachments = true,
PageLayoutOptions = PageLayoutOptions.ScaleToPageWidth,
};
- Fix — PDF to JPG conversion time: Processing has been optimized, so large PDFs convert to images noticeably faster.
Deprecation Reminder
- There are no breaking changes in v26.7. But as announced in v26.6, the legacy per‑result event properties, the fluent chain methods, ConverterSettings.Listener and IConverterListener remain obsolete and are scheduled for removal in v26.9. If you haven’t moved to ConversionEvents yet, this is a good release to do it in.
