solution to convert PDFs, DOCs, DOCXs into a textual format with python
<p>I am developing a full text search engine for indexing popular binary formats. I know that there are hundereds of such questions (and solutions) already, but I found it tough to find one:</p>

<ul>
<li>cross platform</li>
<li>supports DOC, DOCX and PDF formats at once</li>
<li>easy to use with python</li>
<li>can be set up in a major shared host </li>
</ul>
