Hi all,

While I am reading the pdf file using below statement from physical path I am successfully able to read.

C#

PdfReader pdfFileReader = new PdfReader(@"D:\Test\MyPdftest.pdf")

The same thing while I am trying to read the sharepoint pdf file by passing the file url inside PdfReader, its not working. And if we pass the byte array its working. I don't want to pass as byte array I need to pass as string as I will read some specific text from the pdf.How can I do this?

Hi Rahul48,
This solution worked for me:

C#

private void processFile(SPItemEventProperties properties)
{
    SPFile file = properties.ListItem.File;
    if (file != null)
    {
        string filetype = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(file.Name);
        if (filetype == ".pdf")
        {
            string fileNameAndPath = file.Web.Url + @"/" + file.Url;
            using (PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(fileNameAndPath))
            {
                // Your code here...
            }
        }
    }
}
