Here we'll show you some examples of using PDF Focus .Net to:

1. Convert PDF file to Word file in C#:

            SautinSoft.PdfFocus f = new SautinSoft.PdfFocus();	    	
            f.OpenPdf(@"d:\History.pdf");

            if (f.PageCount > 0)
            {
                int result = f.ToWord(@"d:\History.rtf");
                
                //Open Word document
                if (result==0)
                {
                    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"d:\History.rtf");
                }
            }
      

            byte[] pdf = File.ReadAllBytes(@"c:\Book.pdf");

            SautinSoft.PdfFocus f = new SautinSoft.PdfFocus();
            f.OpenPdf(pdf);

            if (f.PageCount > 0)
            {
                f.WordOptions.Format = SautinSoft.PdfFocus.CWordOptions.eWordDocument.Rtf;
                string word = f.ToWord();
                //now the variable 'word' contains RTF document
            }

      

        Dim f As New SautinSoft.PdfFocus()
        f.OpenPdf("http://somesite.com/forprint.pdf")

        If f.PageCount > 2 Then
            'Convert only pages 2 - 3 to Word
            Dim result As Integer = f.ToWord("f:\foredit.doc", 2, 3)

            'Show Word document
            If result = 0 Then
                System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("f:\foredit.doc")
            End If
        End If

      

        SautinSoft.PdfFocus f = new SautinSoft.PdfFocus();
        f.OpenPdf(FileUpload1.FileBytes);

        if (f.PageCount > 0)
        {
            //Let's whole PDF document to Word (RTF)
            rtf = f.ToWord();
        }

        //show Word/rtf
        if (rtf != "")
        {
            Response.Buffer = true;
            Response.Clear();
            Response.ContentType = "application/msword";
            Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition:", "attachment; filename=Result.doc");
            Response.Write(rtf);
            Response.Flush();
            Response.End();
        }
      

        Dim f As New SautinSoft.PdfFocus()
        f.OpenPdf("c:\Simple Text.pdf")

        If f.PageCount > 0 Then
            Dim result As Integer = f.ToWord("c:\Result.doc")

            'Show Word document
            If result = 0 Then
                System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\Result.doc")
            End If
        End If
