          Makes sense now. Very tall order and cannot really be done in a forum post. In short, you'll need code that handles rendering the various formats.

              You can assume that a client machine have installed Acrobat Reader or similar software and use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(string fileName) method to launch a PDF file. If you don't want to make such assumptions (and you should not), you can attach to the installator a light-weight PDF viewer like a Foxit Reader[^] (the best PDF viewer I've ever seen). On this[^] page you can also get a Foxit SDK which allows you to render pdfs into bitmaps and then use them in your app. Hope it helps.

                  No. I don't give out code, just suggestions on what to do.

                        If you can assume that the Adobe Reader is installed on the target machine, you could use a webbrowser-control to display the pdf, if I'm not mistaken. Michael.

                          It sounds like the OP wants to extract from PDF, and DOC files.

                            You'll need to look at third party controls, perhaps.
