Converting file to PDF

[ruds]

Hello,
I want to convert a file to PDF through PDF converter like pdf995 /
PDF4U using JSP/Servlet dynamically.
the file is passed to the driver of pdf converter, but it should not
show printer dialog box i.e. I want to print it silently.
Can this be done?How should I do this?

Thanks.

Have you looked at iText?

Yes, I Have. But it does not support document conversation as per my
knowledge.
The file is already present at a location.
When the administrator approves the conversion, the the file should be
read from that location and converted to PDF.

No Itext does what you need. I don't remember how this is done. Google should
help you there. ;-)

I googled for "converting .doc file to pdf using itext"
And got one in FAQ:
Q: Can I convert WORD doc-files or RTF to PDF using iText?

No, iText is only able to generate RTF. It doesn't do RTF or Word-doc
parsing.
Try Apache POI if you want to parse Word documents.

So, that not what I want.
Please suggest something else.

If Apache POI can parse .doc files, and iText can generate PDFs, can't the
combination parse .doc files and generate PDFs?

But I have other files types too, that need to be converted to PDF's
like excel,ppt, jpg,etc.
Cant I just use pdf995 or PDF4U free s/w to do the same?
Also I want to convert them in background.
