I have a Multimedia Component with a multimedia type .pdf. Is it possible to read the content of the PDF uploaded as binary file from the Multimedia Component?

EDIT Suppose we have to search for a word testparameter available in the PDF content. Then to achieve this we need to access to the PDF content, only then we can find out whether testparameter is matching in the PDF content or not.

CoreService provides client StreamDownloadClient to download files from Content Manager.

You can use following code to get the binary content as a stream, and once you have stream you can read the stream to find the text.

StreamDownloadClient streamDownloadClient = new StreamDownloadClient();

Stream tempStream = streamDownloadClient.DownloadBinaryContent(“TCM:X-Y-Z”);

Update: as suggested by Peter in comments, use proper endPointConfigurationName with StreamDownloadClient.

    Indeed. Note that this is a different client, which uses a different binding (due to the streaming nature of the functionality). So you need to make sure you have that binding available in your configuration file (or code if you are setting it up programmatically)
