converting common files to svg

Hello,
I'm looking for a program/SDK/API that can convert common files(doc, xls, ppt, pdf, jpeg, bmp, gif etc) to SVG.
the program should run on Linux or UNIX (not windows!!!).

thanks

You could do a two-step process: distill a PDF from your source file (you'll need Acrobat), and then open the PDF in Illustrator and export it as a PDF. If you're using the latest versions of Acrobat and Illustrator, this should work fine. However, the only "UNIX" platform that'll let you do this seamlessly is Mac OSX.
