You can drag a OpenFileDialog Component on your screen and set it up in code like this openFileDialog1.Filter = "PDF File (*.pdf)|*.pdf|All Files (*.*)|*.*"; you can get the filename after selecting a file like this OpenFileDialog.FileName As for manipulating the contents of a pdf you can try something like this Click Here You can use this to extract the contents of a pdf to a text file
