Dear GroupDocs customers,
We are pleased to announce the release of GroupDocs.Merger for .NET v26.7 (GroupDocs.Merger for .NET 26.7 Release Notes). This update introduces GroupDocs.Merger.LowCode, a separate package built around single‑purpose merge and split products, and drops the Aspose.Drawing dependency from the main library.
Key New Features
-
GroupDocs.Merger.LowCode: A new NuGet package with seven focused products — JoinPdf, JoinDocx, JoinPptx, SplitPdf, SplitDocx, SplitPptx and RemovePagesPdf. Each one keeps the API to a minimum: construct the object with the source document and the operation inputs, then call Save.
new JoinPdf("source.pdf", new[] { "second.pdf" }, new JoinOptions()).Save("merged.pdf");new SplitPdf("source.pdf", new[] { 1, 3 }).Save("out\\page_{0}.pdf"); -
Per‑product licensing: Each of the seven products is licensed individually, and a family licence covers all of them. License.Set(path) accepts either a metered licence or a standard GroupDocs licence file, and a licence file placed in the application directory is applied automatically. The package targets .NET 6.0+, runs cross‑platform, and is versioned in step with GroupDocs.Merger for .NET.
Major Improvements & Fixes
- Improvement — Aspose.Drawing dependency removed: GroupDocs.Merger no longer references Aspose.Drawing. That means a smaller package and one less transitive dependency to collide with the rest of your project.

Final
If your application only needs one or two operations, such as joining PDFs or splitting a DOCX, the LowCode package gets you there in a single line. And if you have run into version conflicts around Aspose.Drawing, upgrading to v26.7 clears them up.
We’d love to hear your feedback! Happy Coding!
