Use Apache POI & iText (very large job, will never be perfect).Using the available APIs script Open Office (90+% perfect).Using JNI/a C# web service/etc script MS Office (only option for 100% perfect results).


PDFs are created with font-based characters to enable high-quality printing, as opposed to just rendering image-based PDFs.This is quite a hard task, ever harder if you want perfect results (impossible without using Word) as such the number of APIs that just do it all for you in pure Java and are open source is zero I believe ( Update: I am wrong, see below). Fonts, paragraph formatting, embedded images, and charts are all preserved to produce a highly accurate representation of the original Word document. PrizmDoc converts Word documents with precision, retaining the same look and pagination as a document displayed or printed from Microsoft Word. Learn more about how the API can convert Excel to PDF, DWG to PDF, and more. You can also use PrizmDoc to convert other file formats within your application. While there are countless practical applications for our Word to PDF API, one primary use case is providing end users with the ability to securely share and distribute content-such as a business plan or contract-in an unalterable format. Secure output files with password protection.Resize pages when converting to raster formats.Apply custom header or footer text during conversion, including Bates numbering.Convert entire documents or only select pages.Combine multiple files into a single multi-page output or separate one document into multiple 1-page files.Whether you’re developing in JavaScript, C#, Python, or another language, you can customize the API’s conversion process to meet your application’s needs:
