Answer 1

You can't solve your use case as easily as you think. iText does not support Word to PDF conversion, because this requires very good knowledge of the OOXML format.

I'm an employee at iText Software, and for the last few weeks I've been investigating XDocReport, a tool that lets users manipulate MS Word files (DOCX) and OpenOffice/LibreOffice files (ODF). They also have a plugin that converts DOCX or ODF to PDF, with iText. Users that want this functionality can choose whether to use iText 2 under the LGPL license or iText 5 under the AGPL license.

XDocReport has already done an excellent job creating their converter tool with the limited human resources they have, and I've also made some minor progress on the project with fixing bugs and layout problems. However, there are still a lot of things that need fixing in order to make the PDFs closely resemble the MS Word documents.

The XDocReport has documentation for using their plugins, but it is not an easy thing to do, and you need to know a lot about Maven and dependencies to make it work. I've created a plugin discovery project to make that easier, but we haven't released it yet: as of now it doesn't produce the quality in PDFs that we feel our customers would want. We have no timeline for availability of this plugin.
