There are numerous libraries in Java that enable working with document files. An extensive and well-liked Java library is XDocReport. 


A Java package called XDocReport enables you to create reports from documents in various formats, including Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, and others. It can be used to generate reports using information from many different sources, such as databases and XML files. The library enables the ability to add styles, graphics, and other formatting choices to the resultant reports. Popular Java frameworks like Apache POI, Freemarker, and Velocity can be coupled with XDocReport to offer a strong and adaptable solution for producing reports in your Java-based applications. 


Here is an example of how to convert a docx file to a pdf file using XDocReport in Java:

  String pdfPath = "./WordDocument.pdf";

  InputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(docPath));
  XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument(in);

  OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File(pdfPath));
  PdfConverter.getInstance().convert(document, out, options);

  document.close();
  out.close();

 }
}
  1. Copy the code using the "Copy" button above, and paste it in a Java file in your IDE.
  2. Add dependent library or download the dependent jar and add in your IDE class path.
  3. replace the file name in the variables- docPath and pdfPath
  4. Run the file to convert docx to pdf file.


I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.

                      Environment Tested


                      I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

                      1. The solution is created in open-jdk-11.0.8.
                      2. The solution is tested on XDocReport 2.0.4 version.


                      Using this solution, we are able to convert an file using the XDocReport library in Java with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy to use, hassle free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us convert docx to pdf file in Java.
