Can someone provide me solution on java code how to merge two docx OR HOW TO CONVERT PDF TO DOCX.

Currently I have byte arrays of docx[coming from outside via soap service] and pdf [generated from pega side].

@MuthuvelkumaranK0859 Hi Muthuvel,

Create a java function for conversation from DOCx to PDF. only thing is we need to have all below jars in PEGA

  Apache POI 3.15
    org.apache.poi.xwpf.converter.core-1.0.6.jar
    org.apache.poi.xwpf.converter.pdf-1.0.6.jar
    fr.opensagres.xdocreport.itext.extension-2.0.0.jar
    itext-2.1.7.jar
    ooxml-schemas-1.3.jar

Note: Please cross verify whether this jar are already exist. if yes straight forward to build the fucntion

sample below :

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WordConvertPDF cwoWord = new WordConvertPDF();
        cwoWord.ConvertToPDF("D:/Test.docx", "D:/Test.pdf");
    }

    public void ConvertToPDF(String docPath, String pdfPath) {
        try {
            InputStream doc = new FileInputStream(new File(docPath));
            XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument(doc);
            PdfOptions options = PdfOptions.create();
            OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File(pdfPath));
            PdfConverter.getInstance().convert(document, out, options);

Thanks for the solution karthi, since we have already move on with another solution of using Qoppa for Conversion.
We need only one jar but we need to buy license keys from qoppa.

@karthickm2078 Hi, I am trying the same. I want to convert a generated Word File (.docx) from a Word-Template in a PDF File. I have already implemented and tested a simple Java Code with the POI Dependencies. My Java Code is a Maven Project. How can I integrate my written Java in Pega, so that I can use the Code to convert the docx in a step to a pdf. Thanks

@SinanH45 Hi, If your code already ready in JAVA, if it executable then it is simpler to make that to convert in java. Keep always this in mind

  1. Having all the libraries in PEGA ( Whatever library you are using in JAVA, same libraries should be imported in Pega)

  2. instead of creating direct JAVA code, check the Java API and make it convert your code in Function where u can pass simple param to convert

For example : File name and type

  1. then always to debug add a stack trace in code, since it is java we need to debug for long..

Another ways :

Adding simple code :

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;

import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;

import org.apache.poi.hwpf.usermodel.Range;
import org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSFileSystem;

public class TestCon {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        POIFSFileSystem fs = null;  
        Document document = new Document();

         try {  
             System.out.println("Starting the test");  
             fs = new POIFSFileSystem(new FileInputStream("D:/Resume.doc"));  

             HWPFDocument doc = new HWPFDocument(fs);  
             WordExtractor we = new WordExtractor(doc);  

             OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File("D:/test.pdf")); 

             PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, file);  

             Range range = doc.getRange();
             document.open();  
             writer.setPageEmpty(true);  
             document.newPage();  
             writer.setPageEmpty(true);  

             String[] paragraphs = we.getParagraphText();  
             for (int i = 0; i < paragraphs.length; i++) {  

                 org.apache.poi.hwpf.usermodel.Paragraph pr = range.getParagraph(i);
                // CharacterRun run = pr.getCharacterRun(i);
                // run.setBold(true);
                // run.setCapitalized(true);
                // run.setItalic(true);
                 paragraphs[i] = paragraphs[i].replaceAll("\\cM?\r?\n", "");  
             System.out.println("Length:" + paragraphs[i].length());  
             System.out.println("Paragraph" + i + ": " + paragraphs[i].toString());  

             // add the paragraph to the document  
             document.add(new Paragraph(paragraphs[i]));  
             }  

             System.out.println("Document testing completed");  
         } catch (Exception e) {  
             System.out.println("Exception during test");  
             e.printStackTrace();  
         } finally {  
                         // close the document  
            document.close();  
                     }  
         }  
    }
