ReoGrid Web 1.5 Released — Find & Replace, Drag-to-Move, and CJK-Ready PDF Export

UNVELL Inc. released ReoGrid Web 1.5, the latest version of its Excel-like spreadsheet library for web applications, on August 8, 2026.

This release fills in the places where Excel does something the library did not yet do. There are no breaking changes to the public API.

■ Find & replace (Ctrl/Cmd+F, Ctrl/Cmd+H)

A built-in find bar opens over the grid and highlights every match on the canvas. Searches run over the sheet, the selection, or the whole workbook — workbook scope activates the sheet a match lands on. Match case, entire cell contents and regular expressions are supported, and a replace-all is undoable in a single step. Available in the free Lite edition.

■ Range, row and column drag-to-move

Drag the border of a selection to relocate a cell block; values, formulas, formatting, cell types, borders and comments travel together. Dragging a row or column header reorders whole lines as a cut-and-insert. A move that would tear a merged cell is refused, and a cancellable event lets the host substitute its own behaviour. Also available in Lite.

■ Page headers and footers (Pro)

Print and PDF output can place page numbers, dates and sheet names in the paper margins. Excel's format codes (&P, &N, &D and others) are stored verbatim, so a round-trip through xlsx keeps them intact in Excel.

■ PDF export by locale (Pro)

A font registry with ja, zh-CN, zh-TW and ko registered out of the box embeds the right CJK font from a locale name. Subsetted fonts are also published as npm packages (@reogrid/font-sc and others), removing the dependency on a public CDN and making PDF export work on offline intranets.

■ Other changes

Additions include instance.focus() to return keyboard focus to the grid, one-call outline clearing, and HiDPI re-scaling when a window moves between monitors. Numerous fixes ship as well, covering overflowing text rendering, dropdowns near the bottom of the window, the last row under a classic scrollbar, and B4/B5 paper sizes in PDF export.
