Several ways, with several degrees of work involved.

- Use OSProcess et al. to start a perl program that use
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module to do the read write for example to excel
format.
- Use a internal webpage in PHP, Python, whatever that takes POST data
and writes it to a given file in the filesystem. Then your app just put
a link in seaside to download the file
- If you're in windows you can try the OLE perl module to write directly
to Office family of programs directly.

For PDF, you can:

- use some of the alternatives in the Seaside page (search the archives)
- generate html and use htmldoc program in a linux box to convert it on
the fly to pdf
