You can now convert any text file, image or a .doc document into the new Word 2007 .docx format using Zoho Writer. Just import your source file into Zoho and then export that document as a DOCX file.

And like Adobe Buzzword, Zoho Writer also lets you create docx files from scratch inside the browser without requiring Word 2007.

Currently, you cannot import docx files directly into Zoho Writer but that feature may be added soon.

Like Scibd and SlideShare, PDFMeNot is an online PDF to Flash converter that will instantly convert any Adobe PDF document into a Macromedia Flash (SWF) movie while preserving the original layout, image graphics and formatting.The PDF to SWF converter can very useful when you have to embed PDF files in web pages for inline viewing or you want to read PDF files on a computer that has no Acrobat Reader.

Here’s how to create Flash movies from PDF documents:

1. Go to PDFMeNot.com (Username: stateless Password: systems) and type the URL of the PDF file - you can use this PDF link as an example. Alternatively upload a PDF from the local hard drive.

2. In your Firefox menu bar, click Tools -> Page Info -> Media. Select the object that has an SWF extension (e.g. pdfmenot.com/store/f6a29535da98cd1.swf)  and save it to your disk. That’s the SWF file created from your PDF document. For IE, here’s the trick to save Flash locally.
