Question

I am writing a C# asp.net web application that receives CV’s in various formats i.e. doc, docx, pdf, text, etc.

I was wondering if there was a simple way I could remove certain information from the document not matter what file type it is and then pass on the edited file to the end user?

The information to be removed will be held in a string

Answer 1

You will need to parse each file type using separate APIs.

• .docx can be parsed using: http://docx.codeplex.com/
• .pdf can be parsed using: http://www.pdfsharp.net/
• etc.
