When you embed the file, are you saving in database or cloud storage? I would recommend to revist your architecture and leverage cloud storage for files, so that you can leverage file storage tools and tools for creating, updating and storing documents.

You can use LEADTOOLS Edit SDK technology in your application. https://www.leadtools.com/sdk/products/edit You can leverage the DocumentEditor class which is an editor control that allows you to edit new or existing PDF, RTF/TXT, and DOC/DOCX files. Do note that at this time the Document Editor is only available in Node and ASP.NET applications. DISCLOSURE: I am an employee of the company offering this toolkit.

Thanks Jignesh Kumar but it will not work.The link you shared can create a doc file but not into window.I need to creat a word file into Window form and update that template too.You can see in my shared image the word template is showing into window form.
