All,
Is there any tool to convert PDF to XLS on linux....
Thanks.
try
pdftotext -layout input_file.pdf output.txt
from then you could try pasting into a spread sheet and setting the correct diameter. All depends on the pdf in question.
If you know some python you can also check out pdfminer to get the formatting you need.
Convert pdf to txt, then convert txt to xls ;)
Maybe you wanted it the other way? xls to pdf?
Use Koffice. Koffice can import PDF files and save them as doc. Then you can convert DOC files to XLS... I tested this method ;)
If you can use java, maybe a combination of apache poi and itext.

I need an open source html that convert PDF to Flipbook and I want to use it in linux server.
I've searched but found .exe document that doesn't work on linux server.
Thanks if you can help me to find one
There are a number of different ways of doing this but from your question it looks like you want to convert your documents on your server? FlexPaper supplies sample scripts in PHP and Java for how you can convert PDF documents to HTML5 and Flash in both GPL and commercial versions. You can give it a try here:

Plain HTML can't convert pdf to flipbook.. Program called ghostscript can convert pdf to jpg/png in linux but the flipbook it self have to be maid/viewed usually with flash.
You can have a try with this two programs runing over linux, I hope its usefull for you

I am using Linux operating System. and my most of the application is in TCL. I am thinking of adding a module to it for creating xls file with multiple sheets and colored boxes as per requirement. Is there a way by which i can created xls file? csv will not help me for the task. Any Help/Suggestion/Keyword will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The excel formats are formidably tricky (only CSV is remotely easy to handle, and that's because it doesn't do much). I'd use Apache POI for this, even bearing in mind that it is Java code and so likely to be a bit awkward to integrate with your Tcl code.
If you were able to run on Windows instead, the TCOM package would let you talk to a running Excel instance to do the work more directly. That package is platform-specific though…
This i made it done by simple hit and trial of perl and half day learning of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~jmcnamara/perl/WriteExcel.html
Creating perl file using tcl data and at the end executing the perl script. Final output of xls file generated. Thanks everyone for your effort.

I am looking for a light solution in linux, to literally convert a *.txt file into pdf format. I hope the solution satisfies:
lightweight. I know renaming *.txt to *.odt and then use libreoffice is a pathway, but it will load the heavy libreoffice.
I know pr|groff -Tpdf is a solution, yet it does not work literally: it throws away my line-breaks, an may accidentally eat some special marks as escaped labels, making potential bugs. But I still hope to use these old tools as much as possible, because they are stable and fast.
Many thanks!
One way would be to use enscript followed by ps2pdf
enscript -p file.ps file.txt
ps2pdf file.ps file.pdf

I am using the microsoft.office.interop.excel msdn site to be able to learn how to manipulate excel using OLE. However it is very difficult to be able to navigate through these documentations. For a trivial example, the Application.LanguageSettings should have members of its own, but from the site it's impossible to be able to locate them (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.excel._application.languagesettings(v=office.14).ASPX).
Does anyone know of a better way to get this information? Is there another manual/reference? Or can one 'inspect' the object returned (for example Application.LanguageSettings returns an object, can we explore what its members are without actual documentation?). Thanks
and then you're sent to the Object iteself
theres nothing hard about it
There is an object browser that's built into VBA, under the View menu:

Given an excel file I want to generate a pivot table programmatically. I have heard of Aspose.Cells but it is paid version. Can someone suggest some open source libraries similar to Aspose.Cells or atleast any tutorial link where I can get some help to generate pivot table programmatically.
Please try https://github.com/jbaliuka/x4j-analytic, it is open source and it is designed for pivot reports with huge details sheet.
There are several other open source libraries to achieve the same thing but we developed this library to workaround performance issues, we use temp file to avoid unreasonable memory consumption and write XML to stream as raw bytes to avoid overhead caused by XML API.
See samples https://github.com/jbaliuka/x4j-analytic/blob/master/samples/src/test/java/x4j/samples/X4JEngineTest.java, it needs XLSX template, XML descriptor and several lines of code to implement basic pivot report.
