Apryse’s 2025 Retrospective: A Year of Exponential Growth and Expansion

Summary: In 2025, the Apryse team carried out a vision defined by continuous product evolution and strategic expansion. As this year comes to an end, we’re proud to celebrate the exciting innovations our incredible team at Apryse has delivered to help developers create even better document processing experiences.

The year began with a sharp focus on bringing higher levels of control and automation to core document workflows.

We continued our strong focus on Smart Data Extraction in 2025 and added many great features and advancements to our products and solutions.

Smart Data Extraction handles layout, structure, labeling, and output to power search, model training, and automation workflows. It recognizes structure such as key-value pairs, tables, layout in complex documents and delivers machine-readable outputs like JSON, XML, and Excel.

Building on the groundwork of the Winter release, the Spring 2025 launch on April 16th dramatically expanded the scope of our SDKs by introducing a new support for a powerful document type and critical internationalization features.

Spring was also a time for growth. The Apryse family grew through the strategic acquisition of TallComponents which strengthened our .NET PDF SDK.

By integrating these technologies, we solidified our position as the most comprehensive document processing solution available.

The Summer 2025 release was our biggest of the year, focusing on meaningful developer and performance improvements. This release made our SDKs, especially WebViewer, a must-have for advanced in-app editing capabilities. Again, Apryse saw a period of growth with the acquisitions of Accusoft, and Scanbot SDK.

The Fall 2025 Release this October brought this year’s roadmap to a close, with the goal of cutting manual work and helping software developers address global markets.

We finished 2025 with exclusive data on enterprise AI maturity and document infrastructure trends in our report: AI Readiness 2025: Benchmarking Infrastructure, Strategy, and Scale. Learn how organizations are preparing their document infrastructure to support AI adoption at scale.

Now, let’s take a look at the updates and additions!
