I just quickly modified code that I found on internet
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import org.apache.poi.hwpf.extractor.WordExtractor;
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
public class GeneratePDF {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String pdfPath = "C:/";
String pdfDocPath = null;
try {
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("C:/Test.doc"));
WordExtractor wd = new WordExtractor(is);
String text = wd.getText();
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(pdfPath + "viewDoc.pdf"));
document.open();
document.add(new Paragraph(text));
document.close();
pdfDocPath = pdfPath + "viewDoc.pdf";
System.out.println("Pdf document path is" + pdfDocPath);
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
System.out.println("File does not exist.");
}
catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("IO Exception");
}
catch (DocumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}Just keep in mind POI doesn't like "docx" format yet...
