Load word document content to PrintDocument - windows

I have a .doc or .dot file and I'd like to view it in PrintPreviewDialog. I heard that I only can view it if I can load the .doc content into PrintDocument object or atleast paint the content on.
Anyone know how to do it?
Thanks in advance

Microsoft Word is required to load the .doc and generate the preview image of document. Embedding Word in your own window used to be possible but support for this is rapidly disappearing. The old DsoFramer control used to be the standard solution but you can no longer download it. It got removed when the Office 2010 beta became available, an ominous sign. Embedding it in a WebBrowser might still be possible, not sure.
The long term solution is to use Word itself to generate the preview. Use the Document.PrintPreview() method.

How do you access content in a word document? (like Grammarly does)

I want to create a program that works like an autocomplete box for Microsoft Word. For that, I need some way of reading the contents of the page and getting the positions of words. I know that Microsoft has made a Javascript API for creating plugins in the form of side panes, but that's not what I'm after.
Grammarly manages to read the contents of the document and even underline specific words.
Maybe they have some agreement with Microsoft? Or could they be using some hacky solution? I did try to use win32api with both Python and C++ but didn't succeed.

Inserting image into PDF in xamarin forms

I am working on a project using images where the user gets to choose if they want to save in .jpg or .pdf format. So what I thought was either way save it in .jpg initially and then if they choose .pdf, just push the image into pdf. I read a lot of documentation like xfinium pdf and syncfusion pdf but sadly all those are licensed for commercial use. I was wondering if anybody could point me at the right direction so as to how to get this done without using paid licensing.
Thanks in advance.
Try to use: PdfSharpCore
is a partial port of PdfSharp.Xamarin for .NET Standard.

How to compare the layout of pdf files programmatically?

It is possible to rip the text from pdf and comapre it. And here i need to compare if the layout of the pdf with another pdf file. Is it possible programmatically? There are third party tools to do that, but is it available for testing using selenium or any programming language?
I have gone through google, but couldn't find a solid solution for this yet? Any help appreciated.
With PDF Box of apache you should be among other things be able to extract the text from existing PDF documents.
ps: you probably have to create a custom program in jave to extract and compare and invoke it from selinium.

Why do my images break in Visual Studio when they have the word "order" in them?

I've been banging my head trying to find the cause of why my images weren't loading, heres my basic work flow.
create image in Photoshop CS5
export for web/device (PNG/GIF/JPG)
save to images folder
drag the images into visual studio with the
rest of them
Now I've been using this method for a very long time, and after returning from holidays I couldn't figure out why this wasn't working any more. When the page loads it shows the missing image icon. Firebug couldn't locate the image, CSS was not reading it neither would an <img> tag.
A LONG time later it turns out I found the root cause, my image was named "order_header_bg.png" if I dropped the word "order" from the title it appeared!
I can't figure out why its doing it, I can't find any docs on image naming conventions, so the only work around is not to include the word. Its not a problem but I'm more curious as to why is doesn't behave as expected. Is this unique to my environment?
Do you have any ad-blocking software installed on your machine? They can be rather aggressive about what they block.
I had a client who had Norton Ad Blocker installed and was reporting that she could not see the navigation on her site. Her particular problem was that she was running an advertising agency, and thus all of her links were deemed as spam.
To answer my own question: Its goosed.

Using something like this? Unless you mean using code of course, in, you know, a programming language?
Adobe provide icons here, with appropriate licensing restrictions. I don't know if MS provide a similar thing for Word.
C:\Windows\Installer\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}\wordicon.exe
I found the icon in above file path in my computer.
