I need a simple library or tool with which I can upload arbitrary files (other than the explicitly supported formats, like .doc, .docx, .xls, .pdf, .txt, .ppt etc.) to Google Docs. The Perl module WWW::Google::Docs::Upload doesn't work, I get an exception (Link not found at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/WWW/Google/Docs/Upload.pm line 39; it's from 2008). Any programming language which is easy to run on Linux should be fine.
The responses How to programatically upload document on Google Docs? suggest using the API directly. Is there a tool or library which is a convenient wrapper around the API?
You can upload arbitrary files by automating the Web UI.
See how to do this here: http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/googledocs-rse/wiki/UploadAnyFileToGoogleDocs
The project you want is called googlecl - see http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/Manual
The googlecl (google command line) tool allows you to upload docs.

I've tried react-native-file-picker, react-native-file-chooser, react-native-document-chooser etc, but none of them are working properly. Can anyone suggest me a good functional file picker for choosing files from device storage?
On a personal opinion, I use react-native-document-picker.
The installation and the usage is well mentioned in their docs
Right now it supports most general use cases required for file upload
All type of Files 'public.allFiles' or
DocumentPickerUtil.allFiles()
Only PDF 'public.pdf' or DocumentPickerUtil.pdf()
Audio 'public.audio' or DocumentPickerUtil.audio()
Plain Text 'public.plainText' or DocumentPickerUtil.plainText()
The rest of the restrictions can be modified based upon your file type option as it provides with the following file res options
res.uri,
res.type, // mime type
res.fileName,
res.fileSize
I use react-native-file-picker, because It can select all the files in the phone.
But react-native-document-picker has a very limited selection of files

I ve a Asp.Net core projet. This project reference another library in which I should extract informations from a pdf. I was using itextsharp, but it seems not compatible with .net core.
Any idea how I could extract Text from a pdf file ?
If you want to write your own pdf parser, you will need to read up on all the different versions of the pdf file format. They are all officially documented here.
Text extraction from PDF is a complex task. I would not recommend you to do this without a library.
For an Asp.Net Core library I can recommend you Docotic.Pdf library (I work for the vendor). The library supports .NET Standard and can be used to extract not only text but paths and images too.
Here are some samples / tutorials:
Extract text
Extract text by words
Extract text, paths and images

I'm currently trying to find a documentation (user guide) system that would have following features:
documentation files in text mode (so svn could diff/merge it)
possibility to use images, table, cross-references and table of
contents
export to pdf (or .doc/.odt) that would support cross-references
I tried markdown for documentation source files and pandoc for pdf export but markdown does not support tables.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
We use Sphinx for this scenario.
It can generate html, pdf and some other formats from reStructuredText Files.
And have a look at list-table when you want to add complex tables.
I use the TeX for electonic and printable documentation
https://tex.stackexchange.com/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX
Probably the most commonly used solution set for documentation is XML in Docbook or DITA. You can certainly manage those in SVN as well as perform diffs. They both provide processing toolchains with many output types include PDF through XSL FO.

i am a student and working on my college project. My problem is that i want to open documents like doc, docx, pdf, ppt, txt, xls and some office documents on the browser which are located at my server. it means I dont want to download the document first to see the matter in it. All these document should be opened inside my web browser directly.
I know about google document viewer which provides cloud services for that, but their are some limitations for their use. there are many other cloude services , but they are not fullfilling my need. Is there any api that can help me? By the way my project is in J2EE and server is tomcat, database is Mysql. and my plateform is Windows 7.
If i am able to edit those document from client side , then it will be an extra help to my project.
ViewerJS will solve your problem. It is the easiest way to use presentations, spreadsheets, PDF's and other documents on your website or blog without any external dependencies.
You just need to include the viewer.js plugin inside your project.
It is user friendly.
You can easily view your documents from server side to the browser.
Can support for .ppt files, .pdf files , .doc files and open office files.
Have a look at here http://viewerjs.org/

I want to write a tool that helps me search pdf/chm/djvu files in linux. Any pointers on how to go about it?
The major problem is reading/importing data from all these files. Can this be done with C and shell scripting?
Tracker ships with Ubuntu 8.04 -- it was a significant switch from Beagle which users believed was too resource (CPU) intensive and didn't yield good enough results. It indexes both pdf and chm and according to this bug report it also indexes djvu.
Note that djvu is an image compression format (optimized to compress 'pictures of text', typically the results of scanning). As such, you won't be able to search for text, except in the metadata -this is what the link sent by cdleary refers to-, or if you first use OCR on the document to convert it into text.
The same is true for PDFs which content are scanned articles/books.
How about a plugin for Beagle ?
It already searches PDFs but you can add other file types.
Here is the relevant wikipedia page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beagle_(software)
