How to read a Doc or PDF file

Re: How to read a Doc or PDF file

Docs and pdfs have special layouts. You'll need specific readers for that.
You can open your Doc using word then selecting all text and copy it to your
richtextbox. For pdfs I never tried it but I guess there's something
similar.

First of all add a reference to the word library. It should be located under
'COM' under 'Microsoft Word x.xx Object Library' (with x.xx your version).

Then the following code should do the trick :

/*************** *************** *************** ****/

object filename = @"c:\test.do c";
object save = false;
object oMissing = System.Reflecti on.Missing.Valu e;

Word._Applicati on oWord;
Word._Document oDoc;
oWord = new Word.Applicatio n();
oWord.Visible = false;

// Open word document
// different versions of word may have more or less oMissings
oDoc = oWord.Documents .Open(ref filename, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

// Select everything
oDoc.Select();

// Copy everything
oWord.Selection .Copy();

// Clean up the RTB
richTextBox1.Te xt = "";
// Paste the entire text with format
richTextBox1.Pa ste();

// Close word
oDoc.Close(ref save, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
oWord.Quit(ref save, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

/*************** *************** *************** ****/

If the document is rather large you may think about opening it the same way
as above but saving it immediatly in rtf format. You can then open it
through your richtextbox. After you made the changes you can always use the
same way to overwrite the original doc if that's what you're planning.
