Text extraction from docx, doc, excel, ppt, pdf, etc formats

[eluser]ethereal1m[/eluser]
Dear all,
is there any library that supports text extraction from docx,doc, excel, pdf, etc formats like Apache POI does on Java?

Or should I port Apache POI classes to Codeigniter code?

best regards,

@weboap,
unfortunately the app doesn't read docx format....

There's a docx library for zend framework, which you can use in CI.

it's not codeigniter itself, PHP can't read extensions such as .docx by default, you're always going to need some third party library or something.

@samus,
yes, I'm looking that 3rd party library that anybody could recommend one....
