PDF and DOCX searching

Post by Dynamis »

Anyone know of a good way to search for a string inside of a pdf or docx byte array. In other words, I'm pulling pdf and docx byte arrays from my DB and want to search in each byte array for a string. Considering both are encoded, I was hoping to find some function to encode the string, but have been unsuccessful at finding anything of this nature. If you know of a site that explains either encoding so I can encode the string manually or a simpler way of searching through, that would be greatly appreciated.
