Hi
www.davisor.com/publishor can convert doc to pdf or images without MS Office (it is 100% Java).

there is also another solution that I have seen on a project:

Code:

import officetools.OfficeFile;
...
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("test.doc")); 
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("test.pdf"));
OfficeFile f = new OfficeFile(fis,"localhost","8100", true);
f.convert(fos,"pdf");

All possible conversions:

doc --> pdf, html, txt, rtf
xls --> pdf, html, csv
ppt --> pdf, swf
html --> pdf

More details about the library on this guy's website: dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/

Thanks Ozz. Really usefull for my project.

And it can do a lot of stuff - conversions:
doc --> pdf, html, txt, rtf
xls --> pdf, html, csv
ppt --> pdf, swf
as well as other operations:
- replace strings in DOC, ODT and SXW files - so use them as a kind of templating
- read/write Excel files using simplified API like: getCell(x,y) and setCell(x,y,string)
- hide Excel sheets(secondary calculations for example)
