C#/Creation of a PDF reader (with extra security features), a new custom file extension in C#.

Question
Hello Sara,
AS part of the final year engineering project, I am developing a PDF reader and there are some extra enhancements that I want to add to a normal PDF file. But to incorporate these, I want to create a document with a new, exclusive, custom filename extension (i.e. after making some security changes by using the application,s features, to the pdf document, save it as a new file "document.xyz"). Some of its features are self-destruction, encryption/decryption, password protection per page, disabling copy of document data to the clipboard, disabling printing and forwarding. Another feature is that the document can be viewed only the number of times instructed by the author.
I was debating on whether to use JAVA or C#.
What is your opinion? What language should I opt? Could I do it in C#? As in which would incorporate all these features easily? I am inclined towards C# because of the easy use of graphics, like in VB.NET.
I need your help on how to create this new filename extension. Is this possible in JAVA or C#? If yes, how?
And is the document destruction possible?
Please help me out as soon as possible.
Thank you so much,
Abhaya
Hello,
in C#.net there is a project for pdf creation
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsharp
it is open source project that you can download it and use it, it has samples too, you can easily convert your pdf to text and visa verse .
in Java I didn't recently use it to know it has this capability or not. since 9 years ago that I was started programming with java and the interface wasn't user friendly at all however I heard it is changed then I used vb6 then vb.net and at last I chose c#.net because I think c#.net compiler is faster than vb.net especially I can see this in web projects.when you compare the same website which is written in c# and vb.net you can see the performance. however some tells me it is incorrect but I tested it in the same situation.
