If you have OpenOffice and open the .doc file in it, it has an option called 'Export to PDF' (you can click on the pdf icon on the top menus).

OR try some thing like Cute Pdf Writer, pdf 999 etc., Searching in Google for these will give you the website links to download!

Sounds like more complicated a question than we usually see on beginners'. Moving.

Check out OpenOffice API . Provides nice API for everything OpenOffice application provides .
Now, in OpenOffice Writer you can open or create document and convert it to PDF. You can make it through this Java API respectively.
