I'm wondering it's possible using PDF how data source in SSIS. I've tried converting to another flat file, but I haven't been able to. Please is someone have a script to convert PDF or something that might help me.
First, You have to specify if the .pdf file contains text, table or just images. If the pdf file can be parsed (not images / scanned documents), then you can use a Script Component as Source and write a C# code to convert the pdf content into rows.
You can refer to the following links for more details about parsing pdf and using Script Component as Source:

Using Drupal 7, I do an excel export of a webform report.
When I try to open the excel file, I get an error: "Excel cannot open the file myfile.xlsx because the file format of file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."
I open the file in an editor and I see an xml file which specifies the row data fine.
Can someone explain to me why Drupal is building excel files as xml as you can see in:
modules/contrib/webform/includes/exporters/webform_exporter_excel_xlsx.inc
and what's causing it not to load in excel?
MS Office docs are just zip files containing xml docs and resources like images. You can change the extension of an xlsx (or docx) file and open it to see what is inside. I'm assuming a simple xml file could define a simple Excel file.
I've had issues in the past opening xlsx files from Drupal modules (and other systems) and I found that I could almost always open them in LibreOffice. I don't know enough about the format of an Excel file to determine the reason, it just became my workaround.
This issue is related to overwriting existing temp zip files. You can update the webform module to the latest version or fix this single bug.
I am currently working on a request, through which I am trying to export an excel sheet from a div based structure. How can we add styles, so that that the div structure will fit the Excel table structure?
From another question
Depends if you want a CSV file or an XLS file. An XLS file can include formatting information for the cells, as well as row/column locking, protections and other features that are impossible in a CSV file. Also, keep in mind that Excel does not correctly support UTF-8 encoded content when opening CSV files.
This means you have to know the format XLS files are made of if you want to style them. Or use the standard CSV extension, without styling.
Is there any way it component to convert xml to excel format in Apache camel. I tried using xslt to convert the xml to workbook format which is the excel format but when I tried to write the output content using file component, I was able to see the xls file but there are no contents in it. Please help me here. Thanks.
I have an FDF format attachment which needs to be converted into PDF format attachment. I am facing issues while reading the FDF file content.
I believe FDF formatted files are not text files. While you can technically read any file in Apex, you will not be able to parse the file, since it's in a format designed to be ready by an Adobe product.
The only way to work with this from Apex would be to run the Acrobat Forms Data Format Toolkit on another server and then perform a callout from Apex to the other server. Apex itself will not be able to work with the format.
This concept of running a web service as a form of middleware is commonly used and Apex does make it very easy to perform callouts.
I need to convert infopath form to html form (Logic & visual)

The InfoPath File *.xsn is just a Zip file. You can change the extension to MyForm.zip and extract all the internal files. Most of the files will be xml for the data and xsl for the Views. You can use whatever scripting language you want that convert them to something else. The xsl is mostly HMTL with xsl added where the data is supposed to go.
