How do you save the text in the terminal to various text formats?

I'm playing around a bit with OCR software, in particular I'm spending a bit of time with tesseract. I got it to where I can load an image and get tesseract to rip the text from the image, in Linux terminal. I'm now trying to figure out how I can automatically save that ripped text to pdf, odf, txt and word formats, from the terminal.
