Conversion to text for fulltext search
=======================================
text/plain
text/csv
application/csv
cat '%s'
application/pdf
pdftotext -q -nopgbrk %s - | sed -e 's/ [a-zA-Z0-9.]\{1\} / /g' -e 's/[0-9.]//g'
If pdftotext takes too long on large document you may want to pass parameter
-l to specify the last page to be converted. -q is for suppressing error/warnings
send to stderr
mutool draw -F txt -q -N -o - %s
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
docx2txt '%s' -
application/msword
catdoc %s
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
xlsx2csv -d tab %s
application/vnd.ms-excel
xls2csv -d tab %s
text/html
html2text %s
Many office formats
unoconv -d document -f txt --stdout '%s'
Apache Tika is another option for creating plain text from various document
types. Just use curl to send the document to your tika server and get the
plain text in return.
curl -s -T '%s' http://localhost:9998/tika --header 'Accept: text/plain'
Conversion to pdf for pdf preview

The emailconverter can be obtained from https://github.com/nickrussler/email-to-pdf-converter
It requires wkhtmltopdf which is part of debian.

Conversion to png for preview images
=====================================
If you have problems running convert on PDF documents then read this page
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1081895/trouble-with-batch-conversion-of-png-to-pdf-using-convert
It basically instructs you to comment out the line
<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />
in /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml
convert determines the format of the converted image from the extension of
the output filename. SeedDMS usually sets a propper extension when running
the command, but nevertheless it is good practice to explicitly set the output
format by prefixing the output filename with 'png:'. This is of course always
needed if the output goes to stdout.
image/jpg
image/jpeg
image/png
convert -resize %wx '%f' 'png:%o'
image/svg+xml
cairosvg -f png --output-width %w -o '%o' '%f'
text/plain
convert -density 100 -resize %wx 'text:%f[0]' 'png:%o'
application/pdf
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -dPDFFitPage -r72x72 -sOutputFile=- -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=1 -q '%f' | convert -resize %wx png:- '%o'
convert -density 100 -resize %wx '%f[0]' 'png:%o'
mutool draw -F png -w %w -q -N -o %o %f 1
application/postscript
convert -density 100 -resize %wx '%f[0]' 'png:%o'
text/plain
iconv -c -f utf-8 -t latin1 '%f' | a2ps -1 -q -a1 -R -B -o - - | gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=1 -dPDFFitPage -r72x72 -sOutputFile=- -q - | convert -resize %wx png:- 'png:%o'
On Linux systems you will have to set the desired value in /etc/papersize for a2ps
e.g. a4, or letter. Unfortunately, a2ps cannot process utf-8 encoded files. That's
why the input needs to be recoded with iconv or recode.

This will take 12th frame of a video and converts into a png. It requires
ffmpeg to be installed.
convert -resize %wx "%f[12]" "png:%o"
You may as well use ffmpeg right away
ffmpeg -i "%f" -ss 00:00:02 -frames:v 1 -loglevel quiet -vf scale=%w:-1 -f apng "%o"
audio/mpeg
sox "%f" -n spectrogram -x 600 -Y 550 -r -l -o - | convert -resize %wx png:- "png:%o"
