How to convert Word DOCX to PDF in Java

This tutorial will save you a ton of time with document conversion. Without any further ado, let’s get to the step-by-step.

Let’s set up our Repository and Dependency references in Maven:

 
com.github.Cloudmersive 
Cloudmersive.APIClient.Java 
v2.32

Now we simply use the function convertDocumentDocToPdf:

// Import classes:
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiClient;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiException;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.Configuration;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.auth.*;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.ConvertDocumentApi;ApiClient defaultClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
ApiKeyAuth Apikey = (ApiKeyAuth) defaultClient.getAuthentication("Apikey");
Apikey.setApiKey("YOUR API KEY");
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//Apikey.setApiKeyPrefix("Token");ConvertDocumentApi apiInstance = new ConvertDocumentApi();
File inputFile = new File("/path/to/file"); // File | Input file to perform the operation on.
try byte[] result = apiInstance.convertDocumentDocToPdf(inputFile); 
System.out.println(result);
> catch (ApiException e) System.err.println("Exception when calling ConvertDocumentApi#convertDocumentDocToPdf"); 
e.printStackTrace();
>

And that is absolutely all there is to it. We offer a range of related APIs, covering other document format conversions as well as editing, so be sure to check out the rest of our documentation for more information.
