I have added all the necessary jar files including itextpdf-5.1.0.jar
but still it gives errors..
please refer below code.
I searched it on net but it's not working.
It gives error while importing
com.lowagie.text.Document;
com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;
com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
Don't understand what is going wrong. I added latest version of iText jar
file but not getting the solution.
please give me correct solution or code.
please mention it stepwise.
because I'm doing this first time...
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
public class Doc2Pdf2 {

You are using a version of iText that is higher than 5 (with packages com.itextpdf
), yet you are importing classes from packages com.lowagie
(yes, that's my name; I'm the original author of iText) that only exist in versions of iText predating iText 5. Hence it is normal that the classes you're using aren't found. You should replace com.lowagie
with com.itextpdf
.
By the way: the title of your question doesn't match the question because iText doesn't convert Word documents to PDF.
You need to add the latest jar in the java build path. Check your projects build path and make sure the jar is present there. Do a clean build and clean publish and it should work. If not then you can even try to directly paste the jar in your projects deployment location (LIB folder).
you can go through tutorials of how to write data into pdf
Generate Pdf
creating pdf
create pdf sample hello program
and to read doc file Apache Tika is best :
have a look to read doc file using apache tika in java:
i am reading content from doc file and writing into text file but after learn you can write data into pdf .
