Opening binary files is not difficult. If you <stdio.h> then you could use the "b" option with fopen.
to open for reading in binary mode.
With <fstream.h> you could use "ios::binary" option.
to open for reading in minary mode.
To convert from one format to another depends on what formats you want. PDF is a proprietary format owned by Adobe. You would need a library that can read this format. Other formats are easier such as reading a comma delimited file and converting to a columnar format. You can do this on your own. James P. Cottingham

I have done so much with so little
for so long that I am now qualified
to do anything with nothing.
