How to load a pdf from desktop to tab control using Aspose.pdf package?
I donot see any document load functions in the package. I am new to this.
I am using a tab control in a C# form to load the document and then search for words inside the pdf.
Aspose.Pdf is an API. Unfortunately, it does not have any UI control which you can place in tab or any other WinForms control.
One solution could be to convert each page to image and show the images in control.
But, if you want to search and highlight text within control and want the text and other objects selectable and scrollable, just like Adobe does, wait for any other member to suggest an alternate.

I'm writing a document view and I'd like to use the capabilities of the WebBrowser control for some file formats (pdf, e-mail).
Now I have the problem, that for every file format that is unknown to the WebBrowser control, it offers to download the file.
So the question is: How to find out what file formats (file extensions) can be displayed by the browser, so that I can display a message to the user that the current fileformat is not supported for displaying instead of getting a "Do you want to download" dialog box.
If I was you I wouldn't use a WebBrowser control for following reasons:
WebBrowser is just a wrapper around IE engine. It uses old version of IE by default, so it can have troubles displaying correctly HTML documents with basic CSS styling. It can be forced to use newer versions of IE or even other engines, but it takes some effort.
WebBrowser control purpose is to display and navigate throught web pages. And navigating is essentially downloading. I believe it's gonna be hard if not impossible to prevent WebBrowser from downloading files. I believe one way you can do it is by modifying html files like this: Remove hyperlink but keep text? Also you would probably want to prevent context menu from openning.
WebBrowser control is capable of displaying PDF as described here Displaying a PDF in a WPF Application Not Working - WebBrowser or Adobe Control But I have no idea how would you prevent following the links placed in pdf
Instead of using WebBrowser I suggest you to use one of many royalty-free PDF viewing controls and convert your html documents to PDF. I believe suggested approach will take you less time and will be more robust
I am creating a WPF application. I use MS Visual Studio 2010, C# and MVVM.
On a usercontrol, I have a gridview. That gridview is populated with data from another class, via binding and itemsourceing etc... No problems there. I see the data and everything. I also have a few labels and textboxes around the usercontrol. These will be used by the user to fill in random data. Stuff like name, address and the such. You could call it an order form. The list of products in the gridview with the details provided below.
Once the user clicks OK, the application should now create a PDF of the entire usercontrol. How do I do that?
I can export a gridview to Excel just fine. But now I want to basically recreate the usercontrol into a PDF file.
I have read online that I can create an image of the usercontrol and convert that image to PDF. Would that help? I know from screenshots that the textboxes still have the borders around them and such.
But for now, how do I create a PDF from the usercontrol, using the MVVM approach?
And a side question. If I can use a save to dialog box, where the user can select where to save the file, can I get that location in a string to use it to open the PDF document in a report viewer on a seperate usercontrol?
If there is a need for coding, images or anything else, please comment and I'll edit the question with the changes.
Generating a PDF from a UserControl is non-trivial in C#. I'd strongly recommend finding a 3rd party tool to create your report design and to use that to export to PDF.
If you decide not to stand on the shoulders of giants and want to roll your own, then you'll need to implement the following
Create a separate control that can use your ViewModel as it's DataContext but which has the controls coloured and shaded for printing
Export the control to XPS using the System.Windows.Xps namespace libraries.
Convert the XPS to PDF using a 3rd party tool.
It's a pain, I know, but I can't see a simpler route for you.
I am developing a C# WinForms application, and I would like to be able to "preview" various document types within it. That is, when a user selects a filename from a list, it shows below, within the same form, a preview of the selected file. It's a lot like they way Outlook allows you to preview a selected message without double-clicking.
Is there any way to take just a filename and create a control dynamically within my WinForms application that shows the contents of that file?
If you want to provide a preview/readonly version of the file types, an idea might be to implement PDF viewing first, this primarily involves converting PDF pages to images and then creating a view for those. Once you have that done (using GhostScript or other commercial components) you can then work on converting other formats to PDF, and use the PDF viewing option, you can probably do most office documents through word automation and text based files could be displayed directly (possibly using a rich text editor for formatted text)

i need to know the ways of embedding ms word with limited controls in winform . and also i want to insert some headers and footers in to the ms word. Found some articles which depicts only embedding the controls inside the winform . So my question is how to generate a document file and limit the controls of msword inside the winform . Anyone help me.
I don't believe this is possible.
What you could do however would be place a rich text field onto the screen and save the content into a .doc format - which you could make available for download or submission.
EDIT: question referrred to winforms. This can be done use standard rtf in the rich text box.

I need to render pdf file in a webbrowser then highlight some words on it.
How can i do it? any sure 3rd party dll that i can use for this?
Thank,

I am using "URL Parameters" as in PDF Open Parameters to get to a certain PDF Page or bookmark. There is something for highlighting too, but not searching and highlighting AFAIK. I also do have some issue (see Fragment lost ) using it with the WinForm WebBrowser control, nevertheless I find the approach useful.
