Writes binary right handed and hex left handed
Everything is possible as long as you know how to decode the file formats :-)

It's Science!
This will be somewhat a hacked together project as there are not really any standard PHP libraries for working with these formats. For most doc formats you can use a PHP class such as this , I had not tested it:
http://www.weberdev....ample-3211.html
For PDF there are quite a few PDF libraries out there, such as this
http://www.tcpdf.org/
http://www.fpdf.org/
For HTML this will be easy, in fact you can apply strip_tags() to the HTML document and get only text in return to get a valid quote
For Images I would of course quote by size, as it is impossible to get an OCR to work perfectly with every font/language in existance. 100x100 could be X dollars, 200x800 can be $20 etc. Image size can be found with getimagesize()
The most important thing would be to test these methods greatly, create many documents and images and thoroughly test each price to see if it what you would expect, you can create docx and doc files through OpenOffice (or microsoft office if you have it), this will be a hard project in itself.

hi,
The links you provided are classes for creating pdf file, and converting .doc file to other formats, which yet need word application in windows
