You did not explain where to import, so I'll leave it to you.

To read Word .docx document, you can use Microsoft Open XML SDK. Please see my past answers referenced in this one: How to add microsoft excel 15.0 object library from Add Reference in MS Visual Studio 2010[^].

To work with PDF, you can use, for example, https://pdfapi.codeplex.com[^] or http://itextpdf.com[^] or iTextSharp: http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp[^].

I want to import it into my windows form application(in rich text box)

You did not say "rich text box". I answered your original question, so please accept it formally.
But what's the problem? RTF is an open format. Not clear how it is related to your Forms application.

sorry but if you read my explanation I have explain in first line that there is one button and one rich text box

You are right, it's there. Then the answer may depend on what RichTextBox type you are using. Will you tell us the exact full type name? I can think about it, but it looks to me that you have to use raw RTF markup and use the RTF standard to parse it. This CodeProject article can give you the idea: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/11306/NRTFTree-A-class-library-for-RTF-processing-in-C.
