Subbu, It seems to me that the problem is that you're attempting to treat a Microsoft Word .doc file as if it were a text file - which it is not. I would think that you would have to convert it to some intermediate format before using itext to produce a .pdf.
I'm fairly new to itext myself, so I'm not familiar with all aspects of it, but I believe that itext handles rtf to pdf conversion. If that is so, you could look at OpenOffice as a way to convert .doc to .rtf Take a look at www.openoffice.org, in particular, look at the OpenOffice api. ======================================= Rich Freedman Senior Software Engineer Cross Current Corporation 100 Union Square Drive New Hope, PA 18938 Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.CrossCurrent.com ======================================= >Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 05:20:42 -0700 (PDT) >From: Mallela Siva Subrahmanyam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [iText-questions] How to Convert ".doc" to ".pdf" > >Hi, > >I am using the PDFWriter and Document classes of >iText.jar file and trying to convert a ".doc" file to >".pdf" format.
