import java.io.*; import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.xwpfdocument; import org.apache.poi.xwpf.extractor.xwpfwordextractor; import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.pdfwriter; import com.itextpdf.text.document; import com.itextpdf.text.paragraph;  public class createpdffordocx {  public static void main(string[] args) { inputstream fs = null;       document document = new document();     xwpfwordextractor extractor = null ;  try {      fs = new fileinputstream("c:\\datastore\\test.docx");     //xwpfdocument hdoc=new xwpfdocument(fs);     xwpfdocument hdoc=new xwpfdocument(opcpackage.open(fs));     //xwpfdocument hdoc=new xwpfdocument(fs);     extractor = new xwpfwordextractor(hdoc);     outputstream fileoutput = new fileoutputstream(new       file("c:/datastore/test.pdf"));     pdfwriter.getinstance(document, fileoutput);     document.open();     string filedata=extractor.gettext();     system.out.println(filedata);     document.add(new paragraph(filedata));     system.out.println(" pdf document created");         } catch(ioexception e) {             system.out.println("io exception");              e.printstacktrace();           } catch(exception ex) {              ex.printstacktrace();            }finally {                   document.close();              }   }//end of main() }//end of class
