I'm interested in converting TXTs into PDF, DOC, or maybe even PPT
Are there any APIs that make this possible?

DOC and PPT are supported by the Apache POI library, while for PDF there's iText. These are sizeable APIs, though - the code would have to deal with pages (or slides), paragraphs etc. See the iTextExample and CreateWordDocument samples in http://faq.javaranch.com/java/CodeBarnLibrariesAndFrameworks for an idea of how those libraries work.

Android apps – ImageJ plugins – Java web charts
 
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.
