Davisor Publisher is a Java API that can convert from a DOC, PPT or PDF to PDF, XHTML, PNG, JPEG, TXT or XML formats. I haven't actually used it before but it seems to be a good one.
There are no stupid questions, only those too stupid to ask for help.

Thx darkagn!
gonna check it it

Another solution:
import officetools.OfficeFile;
...
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("test.doc")); // works with xls also
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("test.pdf"));
OfficeFile f = new OfficeFile(fis,"localhost","8100", true);
f.convert(fos,"pdf");
All possible convertions:
html --> pdf
doc --> pdf, html, txt, rtf
xls --> pdf, html, csv
ppt --> pdf, swf
from dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/

iText is a free, open source Java to PDF converter and it offers much more.

Verruckt24, I guess the O.P. by now must have already figured out how to accomplish this task.

I did not look into iText for last 2 years. Did they extend the scope of documents that can be converted? As far I can remember it was only images gif, png, bmp, tiff, wmf and jpeg (there was problem with JPEG2000 - type of grey colour), html, txt, rtf, xml. Are you sure you can convert office formats like doc, ppt or xls to pdf?

Actually to convert from .doc to .pdf via Java I could not find a direct method, But I found a two step process,
- Access your Microsoft Format files using Apache POI, You can read more about it here.
- Next use iText to convert the data you have into a PDF.
