Hi,
is possible with PDFsharp click on a word in a pdf and return the word I clicked? I'm writing with C# VS2015 and my pdf is dislpayed with Adobe Reader tool into a winform. If it's possible, how can I do it?

I googled something but I wasn't very lucky..

I don't know what Adobe Reader can do for you.
The PDFsharp FAQ indicate that PDFsharp cannot do much in that direction.

I've found this ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2100 ... ng-c-sharp ) for itextpdf, that might be a solution for what I want to do. Pdfsharp can't do it?

PDFsharp can extract text from PDF files at a low level. There are libraries that use PDFsharp for that purpose:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/PdfTextract/

I never used that library and cannot say if you can get the word for a certain position using that library.
But PDF files can be very complicated and I cannot imagine that a library will handle all cases correctly.

And what if my pdf is displayed with a WebBrowser Control?
Can I do resolve my problem with pdfSharp now?

ps: I forgot to say that I can't use the library TextExtractor because the GPL license!
