  How to search for a specific string in word and pdf file?

  Hi everyone,
  please suggest me how to search a specific string in a word and pdf file.
  I tried with the following code but it provides only for text files

  string fName = @"C:\file.txt ";
              StreamReader testTxt = new StreamReader(fName);
              string allRead = testTxt.ReadToEnd();
              testTxt.Close();
              string regMatch = "xxx";
