Check out Open-XML-SDK. Specifically, carefully read the "How to install the NuGet package section"; you will need to add a custom package source.

Then you can write something like this:

using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing;
using System;
using System.Linq;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var doc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(@"d:\AustinWise\Documents\Turtles.docx", false))
            {
                foreach (var el in doc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.Elements().OfType<Paragraph>())
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(el.InnerText);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The API is not simple, so it might take a while to figure out how to get what you are looking for,

[neyromant]

For create, edit and read pdf docs you can use iTextSharp.
Package for .net core:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core/
