We’re happy to announce the release of GroupDocs.Parser for .NET 25.12.1, available as of December 2025. This update focuses on improving resource handling for OCR operations and adds a simple way to configure where those resources are stored.

What’s new in this release

Category Issue Description
Enhancement PARSERNET‑2796 Embed the OCR resource file directly into the library, removing the need to distribute external assets.
Enhancement PARSERNET‑2797 Add a configurable storage path for resource files (including the embedded OCR files).

Embed the OCR resource file into the library (PARSERNET‑2796)

The OCR assets are now packaged inside the GroupDocs.Parser assembly. No API changes are required – simply reference the library as before and the OCR functionality will locate its resources internally.

Set a custom storage path for resource files (PARSERNET‑2797)

A new Resources class has been introduced in the GroupDocs.Parser namespace. It exposes a StoragePath property that lets you point the parser to a folder where unpacked resources (e.g., OCR dictionaries) can be read from at runtime.

Usage example

using GroupDocs.Parser;

// Set a custom storage path for resources
Resources.StoragePath = @"C:\MyApp\Resources";

using (Parser parser = new Parser(filePath))
{
    int pageIndex = 0;
    IEnumerable<PageTableArea> tables = parser.GetTables(pageIndex);
    // Process tables …
}

Fixes and other enhancements

This release does not contain bug fixes or breaking API changes. The focus is solely on enhancing resource management for OCR scenarios.
