I have a business need to convert pdf file which has tabular data (which has table formatted data). is it possible to convert the pdf document to a single text file keeping tabular data context.

I do not need table/cell boundary and row but need the column, row in the correct context

ImageMagick is a raster image processor. So it can read a PDF and create raster images from it. If you want formatted text, IM is not the appropriate tool. Try something like pdftotext.

Is it possible to convert to PostScript file

I doubt, as postscript files has no raster images

With IM, you can: ... but that will rasterize the PDF and embed the raster image in the PS file. If you want the text to remain as editable text, IM is the wrong tool.
