3 Essential XlsIO Sorting A given range of cells can now be sorted in an XlSIO worksheet. When applying the sort feature to a row or column, the corresponding data is changed in the rows or columns. This feature is supported in Excel 2007 and Excel Users are allowed to sort based on font color, cell color, and values. MS Excel moves the text that is applied with the selected color to the specified location (bottom or top) of the sorting range.

4 Encryption XlSIO already supports encryption and decryption for Excel 2007 and Excel 2003 files. Now, this feature enables encrypted files in Excel 2010 to be parsed and serialized using passwords. The type of encryption used in Excel 2010 is agile encryption, and MS Excel 2007 with Service Pack 2 can open MS Excel 2010 encrypted files. There will be no change in API, as we are already supporting Excel 2007 encrypted files. Encryption Using Excel 2010 Printing Titles After setting the titles for rows and columns to be printed in an Excel worksheet, the same will be reflected in its converted PDF. 4 P a g e

5 Essential DocIO Encryption Encryption is the process of transforming plain text to cipher text (encrypted text), and decryption is the process of transforming cipher text (encrypted text) to plain text. Encryption transforms a Word document into an unreadable state by using an encryption algorithm. The document remains unreadable until it is decrypted by using a password. Word 2007 and Word 2010 documents now support encryption and decryption. Encryption with Password in MS Word MS Word Requesting a Password for Encryption 5 P a g e

This style also defines the paragraph properties and character properties for the contents of the tables.

8 Essential PDF PDF Viewer The implementation of this feature is very important for several reasons. It forms the foundation for several other features that may be implemented in future. It can be used in both Windows Forms and WPF applications. This feature supports exporting PDF files to various image formats such as.bmp,.jpeg, and.png. Background Image Support Essential PDF provides options to customize the appearance of a PDF grid. The following customizations already exist for a PDF grid: Header, Column, Row, and Cell. Now, support is provided for positioning background images; that is, enabling background image alignment within a PDF grid cell. PDF Light Tables Support in Silverlight There are no real cells or rows in these tables and all data are taken from the data source (DataSource property). PDF light tables provide support for various events and properties that can be used to customize a table. Support for PDF Layers PDF layers provide support for creating unlimited levels of layers and sub-layers in a parent-child relationship. With this, users can define optional content that can be visible or hidden to other users. Essential Report Viewer PDF Export Report Writer is a class library that enables users to render reports defined in Microsoft s RDL format (2008 or 2008 R2) as a PDF document. Using Report Writer, you can convert a report that has tabular, graphical, or free-form reports, which make use of relational, multi-dimensional,.xml, and object data sources. 8 P a g e
