You would need to have components installed and accessible on the server to read those files. ITextSharp could used for the PDF files but you would need MS Word for the Word files, unless they where all 2007, or higher, versions (docx extension), in which case you could use any OpenXML reader.

Really, it's 2007 and up (not just 2010). Basically, if the extension has an "x" in it (.docx, .pptx), you should be able to use the OpenXml API.

Yes, correct. I had forgotten about 2007 after using 2010 for so long.
