I need to convert PDF or HTML+CSS into DOC or DOCX under Linux, it can be from the command line or with a scripting language.
Any idea?

You might be able to do the latter using OpenOffice from the command line. There are also bridges for Scripting languages - find out more on OpenOffice's website. There is one for PHP called PUNO, however I have no personal experience with it yet. |

You can convert HTML into .doc using an OpenOffice macro, see this thread: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=44367#44367 converting pdf to .doc is much harder, due the multitude of different content that could be inside a PDF - quite often PDFs are used for things such as scanned text. |

You can use Word can open html files directly. |

I've just stumbled on this question and after a bit more googling, found pandoc: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html A simple command will create a docx or pdf (or rtf etc) file from html input like so: It can also write to stdout (with some formats) and read from stdin. Not sure if it's in the debian / ubuntu repos but it's in the epel 6 repo for Redhat / CentOS 6 ( Hope this helps someone :) |
