Do you have to write your own code from scratch, or can you use existing services? There are several web services that can do this, as well as other programs that you can use. google "java office pdf converter"

I wouldn磘 like to use third-party services. My system should assure high availability and I磀 prefer to do it by my own.Thanks,Jorge

There are open source projects that have been working on processing MS Word and MS Excel files for years and still are not finished. So, if you have 'years' available, then carry on.

Doesn't Adobe have something that'll do this?

Hi,

I think Adobe has a solution based on client-server architecture. I don磘 want my huge documents to be sent over the network.

I need something to be done programatically; using OpenOffice manually wouldn't help me.

iText could create PDF documents, but I need to create my own convertion engine Office-PDF. It doesn't support MS Office documents as input.

Thanks again for your help,

Jorge

OpenOffice is an Open Source project. Download the source code of this project and look there to find how it converts MS-Office documents to PDF.
