What's new in the GroupDocs.Merger for .NET 24.8.0

The latest release of GroupDocs.Merger for .NET introduces a fluent syntax feature, enabling a more compact and intuitive approach to chaining method calls for document manipulation. This enhancement allows developers to efficiently perform a variety of operations, such as:

• Merging multiple documents or specific pages from different files.
• Splitting documents into multiple outputs or by specific page numbers.
• Reordering, removing, rotating, or swapping pages within a document.
• Changing page orientation or managing document passwords.

Here’s a quick example of how the fluent syntax simplifies the merging process:

using (Merger merger = new Merger(@"c:\document1.pdf"))
{
    merger
    .Join(@"c:\document2.docx")
    .Join(@"c:\document3.pptx")
    .Join(@"c:\document4.xlsx")
    .Save(@"c:\merged.pdf");
}
