Hi,

I need to read .doc and write this file content into a .pdf file..
Do we have any java API for it?

Thanks in advance

Extract the ms office file: Apache POI ( http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/ )
Create PDF: PDFBox ( http://www.pdfbox.org/ ) or iText ( http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ )

The DOC part of POI hasn't been under develoment for a while. If it can't do what you need it to do, check out the OpenOffice Java API.

Android apps – ImageJ plugins – Java web charts

You could also look into itext if you want. I dont know if its very good for importing pdf..but is great for exporting
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
