There is great .net library at http://docx.codeplex.com/ . It is a real good help for creating and manipulating word documents.

I am working on an application that has a requirement for me to create a document, populated with data captured in my WPF application, for attaching to an email and sending to insurance company.
My client has been performing this by sending an editable PDF document to clients then proof reading upon receipt of completed form and manually attaching to email.
I initially thought of creating a word document laid out same format as existing and automating word using find/replace on placeholders such as etc...
However it would be great if I could populate the existing PDF docs wouldn't it.... Anyone know if possible?
Thanks.
You can use PDFsharp/MigraDoc to edit pdf-files. Parsing the existing document and inserting text/images is simple enough, but I don't know if there is any support for actual placeholders.
EDIT: Found this approach, using iTextSharp and form fields: Using itextsharp (or any c# pdf library), how to open a PDF, replace some text, and save it again?
I have a .doc document. In this document i have some blanks for data. For example:
"car_id" is the best car in "car_country".
I need to open this doc file and change this blanks ("car_id", "car_country") to data from some object.
How to do this?
I would use DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll. You can find it here. OpenXMLSDKv2.msi will add assembly. You will just need to add reference to DocumentFormat.OpenXml. And the OpenXMLSDKTool.msi will install a usefull tool that will display xml structure of .docx (for example) document.
This web page has some very good samples of Word automation using C#. Specifically, look at section 6 in the web page for a Mail Merge example.

I have several Word templates and I wish to use these to dynamically create Word documents in my app. I wish to avoid using automation at all costs as this is no good. I know that I can use both HTML and XML to create word documents but I just don't know where to start with regards to using a template that may well have images in the footer or the header of a document.
I use the OpenXML SDK with Word 2007. After you get the hang of it, it's not so bad. I have several template docx files that I scan through to search and replace for placeholder strings with what I want, and then can stitch together multiple templates into one document if I want to. It's nice because I can start with docx files as the template and modify them while the whole time staying within the realm of the docx format. If an image is in the docx when you start modifying it, it'll be there after you re-save it after modification (provided you didn't programmatically remove it of course).
If you have more details with what you'll be doing, let us know.
You could use DocX. It's free, very easy to use, with nice tutorials and is feature reach. It works with only DOCX documents thou. Also development is currently on hold until the author will finish his semester. Here's detailed blog about it.
It has good example of using template in his Invoice Example.
MigraDoc http://www.pdfsharp.net/MigraDocOverview.ashx is a free utility for exporting PDF/Word/HTML files. I've not worked with it using templates as yet however, you could use the DDL files to persists a layout for your files to be re-used.

You want to look at the FlowDocument, which is meant for documents with pages.
You'll need to write code to extract the text from the word or pdf document.
You can get out the text from a Word document using Word automation.
For pdf files you can possibly use the iTextSharp library:
http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/
For other formats you might be able to use the source of FBReader as a sample:

Okay, here is what i want to do..
A user will run a query and return 3 pieces of data (really more but for this example lets say 3.. such as name, city, state).
The user will then be prompted with a list of 1 or more documents that are basically word merge documents. Does not have to be word but needs to be something standard.
Once they pic the document, we need to merge the data with the document and would then like to have a PDF displayed back to the user so they can print or save.
So, looking for ideas on what would be a suggested format to store the merge documents in as well as how to do the merge and create the PDF via ASP C#.
Thanks!
firstly ... stop thinking "doc" as standard cause .. it is not.
PDF is much more standard than doc and using any online viewer it is easy to provide access to it's content
now...
for manipulating PDF files fore free u have a very nice C# Library called iTextSharp
