Why Choose Doconut for .NET Document Solutions?

If you’ve ever struggled to stitch together a PDF viewer, an Office converter, and a CAD renderer in a single .NET project, you’ll appreciate what Doconut brings to the table. It’s the only universal .NET document viewer & converter that lets you embed PDFs, Office files, CAD drawings, images, and even email formats straight into ASP.NET, MVC, Core, WebForms, and Blazor apps—without any client‑side installations.

Enterprise Document Management with Doconut

Embedding the Doconut Viewer in ASP.NET Core

Getting started takes literally one line:

  • NuGet integration – Install-Package Doconut.Viewer
  • Responsive UI – works on desktops, tablets, and phones out of the box.
  • Multiple view modes – full‑screen, thumbnail strip, and two‑page book view keep your users in the flow.
  • Zero downloads – the viewer runs entirely inside your application, so users never leave the experience.

Converting CAD Files to PDF with Doconut

Source Format Target Formats Typical Use Cases
DWG / DXF PDF, PNG Engineering drawings, site plans
PDF DOCX, XLSX, PPTX Document archiving, reporting
Email (EML/MSG) PDF, HTML Legal discovery, CRM attachments

The Doconut Converter Plugin tackles batch jobs with a tiny memory footprint, making it a perfect fit for Docker containers or Azure Functions.

Server‑Side PDF Rendering with Doconut for Blazor Apps

  • Secure rendering – files never leave the server, keeping proprietary data under lock.
  • Stream‑based processing – reduces memory usage by up to 40 %.
  • High concurrency – a single instance can comfortably serve hundreds of simultaneous users.
  • Built‑in OCR – scanned PDFs become searchable in an instant.

Doconut Annotation and OCR Made Simple in .NET

Doconut’s annotation layer feels like a lightweight version of Adobe Acrobat, yet it’s fully programmable:

  • Highlight text, add comments, draw shapes, and place digital signatures.
  • Lock or burn annotations for immutable review cycles.
  • Instantly search keywords thanks to OCR‑generated text layers.

Every package ships with extensive documentation, ready‑to‑run code snippets, and a sandbox demo you can spin up locally.

Doconut Security and Scalability You Can Trust

  • Server‑side processing keeps source files hidden from the client.
  • Role‑based access control integrates seamlessly with ASP.NET Identity.
  • Audit logging records view, conversion, and annotation events for compliance.

Common Questions

Q: Can Doconut run completely offline?
A: Absolutely. All rendering and conversion happen on the server, so once you’ve deployed the service you don’t need any external internet connections.

Q: Is Doconut compatible with .NET 8 and later?
A: Yes. The NuGet packages target .NET Standard 2.1 and .NET 8, ensuring forward compatibility and future‑proofing your applications.

Q: How does Doconut handle large batch conversions?
A: Its stream‑based engine processes files in chunks, dramatically reducing memory load. You can queue thousands of conversions and let Doconut handle them concurrently without choking your server.
