Apache POI is a pretty well known library for creating .doc and .docx files. If you do a search for "doc to pdf java" you'll come across few open source libraries (not well known) which can do this.

Assuming you are not doing any fancy coloring/formatting, I would recommend writing out documents in a famous format like "markdown" and converting it later to PDF/DOCX.

iText and Jasperreports are the best for this. I have been using them for years and I could tell you they are the best.
