In the latest release of Apryse Web and Server SDKs, we’re introducing powerful new capabilities that enhance both front-end user interactions and back-end data processing, making it easier than ever for developers to integrate best-in-class document workflows into their applications.

Expanding Web SDK with Spreadsheet Access and Viewing

This release extends the Web SDK to include client-side spreadsheet viewing—laying the foundation for spreadsheet editing this summer. When editing becomes available in July, Apryse will be the only JavaScript SDK provider offering accessible viewing and editing for PDFs, DOCX, and spreadsheets in a single, unified interface—setting a new standard for inclusive document interaction.

With intuitive APIs and scalable components, our Web SDK enables developers to focus on delivering value without managing complexity. The spreadsheet capability provides a secure, view-only mode, preserving content, formatting, and formulas while allowing users to browse multiple sheets within the same application. Delivered through WebViewer as a brand new add on, it also ensures compliance with WCAG 2.1-AA and regional accessibility standards.

Next Up: Spreadsheet Editing in WebViewer

Web SDK customers can look forward to spreadsheet editing in our upcoming summer release. Users will be able to:

  • Add, edit, and delete rows and columns.
  • Apply formatting, create formulas, and merge cells.
  • Utilize various text formatting options, including text size, color, font, and backgrounds.
  • Implement robust formulas and functions for statistical and mathematical operations.
  • Export files in XLSX format.

By extending support to spreadsheets, Apryse is helping customers improve user experiences, enhance security, and centralize editing workflows.

Automate Complex Data Extraction with Key-Value Pairs

Recognizing that 80–90% of enterprise data is unstructured and only ~18% of organizations are effectively leveraging it, Apryse is investing heavily in Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) to help developers unlock the full potential of data for their organizations. In this release, we have added key-value pair extraction, enabling automatic identification and extraction of structured data from documents such as receipts and IDs. This new IDP feature, a valuable add on to Server SDK, eliminates the need for predefined templates, making high-volume data extraction more efficient and scalable—while ensuring your documents and data remain secure within your own infrastructure.

Solving the Challenge of Unstructured Data

Receipts, invoices, and other complex documents hold vital data embedded in scattered layouts, making manual extraction time-consuming and error prone. Key-value pair technology simplifies this process by automatically identifying and extracting structured data—like dates, amounts, and policy numbers—without requiring predefined templates. This is especially valuable for banks and insurers handling loan applications and claims, where accurate data extraction is critical. In healthcare, it streamlines patient intake, billing, and records management by ensuring key details—such as patient IDs, insurance information, and payment amounts—are captured and processed efficiently.

Translate PDFs Without Losing Formatting: XLIFF Reflow

For global organizations producing multilingual content, XLIFF Reflow preserves document integrity when translating to other languages. Extracting text into XLIFF format ensures precise reflow of the translated content, minimizing manual formatting adjustments. This feature reconstructs tables and document structures, reducing manual adjustments and ensuring high-quality translated outputs.

Addressing the Challenge of PDF Translation

Traditional PDF translation tools often fail to retain document formatting, requiring extensive post-translation adjustments. XLIFF Reflow streamlines this process by ensuring accurate reflow and layout retention. Developers who work for legal, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, e-commerce, and government, where businesses require accurate, multilingual document processing for compliance, operations, and customer engagement, will benefit from this improvement to the PDF Editing add-on to Server SDK.

Continuous Enhancements: Greater Flexibility for DOCX Editing

Apryse continues to refine existing features to support DOCX editing in WebViewer, including enhanced support for headers and footers. Users can now:

  • Customize headers and footers by page.
  • View non-printing characteristics of paragraph markers and section breaks.
  • Manipulate margin sizes in headers and footers for greater flexibility.

With every innovation and strategic expansion, Apryse is laser-focused on assembling the ultimate document processing toolkit—offering developers the best technologies in one powerful suite of SDKs. By combining industry-leading capabilities with continuous internal product development, we make it easier to build, scale, and optimize document workflows while seamlessly integrating new innovations to meet emerging needs with greater efficiency.
