So, here is what you do.

You download the document library event handler toolkit:

Then you look at the code. You will find an excellent, fully debugged,
example of how to impersonate a user in code, and how to call Sharepoint to
get a file out. This will get you started. Then you google the SPFile
object and look for the method (whose name I forgot at the moment) that will
retrieve a document as a byte array.

This should move you further along.
