the supported formats are documented here (this is for 1.8 because 1.7 didn't have this in docs, but I don't believe it changed between 1.7 and 1.8):</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.666666984558105px">

Excel), but not the Office Open XML (MS Office 2007+) formats (docx, xlsx, pptx). I'm not really sure about PDF/A since you're explicitly asking about it, but I don't think it would be any worse than the generic PDF support, i.e. IMHO it's supported. rtf doesn't seem to be supported.</div>
