I have a list of user accounts with passwords in different formats (Binary 11, Binary 3, Binary 33). When I export as ldif, it has all encrypted passwords. I want all passwords as plain text. (As I can see in ldap). Can I have plain passwords in exported file?

I doub it. When you export as LDIF, it has all hashed passwords. Not encrypted. You can't decrypt a hash. You can't get the plaintext. You don't want the plaintext. See here for why not.
Review your requirement.

They aren't hashed, they are encrypted Base 64. I can even decrypt them. I can get plain password through ldap too. But in export, they are encrypted. I understand why should not I want plain text. But this is it. – Rohail Abbas Jun 15 '16 at 11:06
