Can we open .pdf or .doc from C++ using fstream?

Question

I am creating a project for an airline reservation using C++.

I created a function to print a passengers ticket, save it in a .txt or.htm file for viewing and change details later whenever needed...

But now, I thought It would be better to save such documents in a .doc or .pdf file...

So, can I open these files in the same way as the text files?

Are they accessible like normal .txt,.bin or .htm files?

Answer 1

No, C++ only allows .txt files to be opened.

Sorry for the late update...

Answer 3

Working with PDFs directly in C++ gets frustrating fast, so I eventually stopped trying to handle everything through fstream. After that, I leaned on external tools that process and summarize documents for me, like the one discussed here https://www.reddit.com/r/automation/comments/1mfjlhe/tried_pdf_gurus_ai_summarizer_heres_what_it_does/ . It saved me a ton of time and let me keep my C++ code focused on the core logic instead of fighting file formats.
