I am busy upgrading SMW 1.9.2 to version 2.2. How do I know which version to use of the accompanying extensions like Semantic Forms or Semantic Extra Special Properties?
As you can see at the SMW docs:
Various MediaWiki extensions are available for further extending
Semantic MediaWiki with additional functionality, and some basic
extensions of MediaWiki are generally useful for employing SMW.
Most extensions are not maintained by the SMW Project. Please see the
extension's main page and installation files to find out whom to
contact for support and where to report bugs. Questions related to
these extensions can be discussed on the mailing list or forum for the
extension (where specified), or on the Semantic MediaWiki user mailing
list.
So, in case that you don't find the relation between your SMW version and the version of each extension in the Semantic MediaWiki user mailing list or the forum for the extension, you should look at the official docs for every extension or contact the developers of each extension, as there is not official reference about the relation you're looking for.
I am working on a project, and I need something like office web app , I don't know if I can make it myself , how to read office file formats and convert it to html5.
It's a very significant project to convert arbitrary Office documents to HTML 5.
Office itself can generally save in HTML format. You can most likely use the Interop libraries provided by the various Office products to save as HTML. Look at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.excel._workbook.saveas(v=office.11).aspx
If you want to do this from scratch (without using an existing implementation or the Interop libraries), you can look at the Open XML format
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338205(v=office.12).aspx
Remember MS has developed solutions like Office 365 for Cloud. Also, you have Google Docs to "see" and (of course) edit documents online, but it has its limitations. For example, there may be problems with Excel macros and other advanced features.
What do you exactly want to? and What is the complexity level of your documents?
Is there a good hosted service out there that allows users to import either word docs or pdf's that can be converted into html5 forms. There are plenty of hosted html5 form builders out there, but I'm not having much luck finding anything that allows for a simple import of these standard formats. I have hundreds of pages to convert into digital forms, and would prefer to not have to rebuild each page from scratch.
I believe Crocodoc may be what you're looking for.
We have a intranet that we have lots of html pages and attachments (.doc, .xls, etc) and we are looking to migrating this to confluence WIKI. Doesn't anyone know of any script or anything that can be used to automate this process as we dont want to do it by hand ideally.
did you check How can I import HTML pages? in the confluence importing faq? there are some options, including a Data Conversion Service company specialised in converting large websites into Confluence. good luck!
This online tool knows a lot of wiki syntaxes.

We're developing software for both Linux and Windows that requires CVS files to be generated into PDF reports. I've written a program in C to turn the CVS files into HTML files (td, tr etc.) and am then converting the HTML into PS using html2ps and then ps2pdf under Linux.
However as mentioned above we're also developing for Windows and while I'm aware that html2ps and ps2pdf are available under Windows they have a few dependencies which are going to cause headaches for our clients (namely Perl and Ghostscript). Are there any native Windows console applications that will convert HTML into PDF that can be distributed as single executable files with no major dependencies?
I would like to add a new entry that I've used recently - wkhtmltopdf - it is an open source project that uses webkit to render, which means that it has all the latest and greatest available including CSS3, SVG, and can even let javascript run before creating the pdf. It doesn't have the same level of polish as princeXML, but its the best FOSS solution I've found.
I haven't used it for multi-page documents yet, but I believe it does have support for css page-breaks.
I've used Prince XML with Java and it is extremely powerful and easy to use, but it's also commercial.
I've used ExpertPDF's Html2Pdf converter component. Easy to make .NET app to convert.
Check Pisa. Its completely written in python so should work on Windows and Unix. The license is GPL but commercial license is also available.
We've used Apache FOP in the past to convert XML docs to PDF. perhaps not quite what you are looking for but It might be an option?
I had lots of luck with HTMLDOC. It is open source and available on many platforms and has a commercial version if you want to pay for it.
I've used Aspose which has both .NET and Java libraries to use for PDF conversion. I think it's great to use, but there's definitely a cost involved.
Since you're looking for something open source, I might suggest iText. I hear it's good, but haven't used it myself.
PDFLib could be bundled with a native application written by yourselves to create PDFs. It's a great library - used to be free but it looks you have to pay for it these days.
Another option, but it doesn't exactly fit your non-dependency requirement, is iTextSharp.
As Russell says wkhtmltopdf is probably the best bet. I've created a free online service to convert HTML to PDF files http://www.html2pdfrocket.com which uses wkhtmltopdf but makes the process easy and cross platform.
I've added examples on how to conversion HTML to PDF for PHP, C#, RUBY and HTML. You could trigger it in JavaScript if you wish.
It's being used by the heart foundation and others to create PDF files in real time, for example PDFs of recipes, invoices, receipts etc - although you can download and cache the PDF output if you wish.
Hope you find it helpful and please write to me there if you have feedback or if you need help getting kwhtmltopdf working in your own env.
