I'm working on a project in which it is required to convert the reports being generated to PDF format. can anybody help me out in this regard?
Also, i need to know if there is any special class which converts the HTML reports being generated to b converted into XLS, DOC and RTF format.
Thanks in advance

I've not done anything specific in Java on this issue. However, i've done something in VC++. The clipboard concepts can almost copt anything to anything else, and do the format conversion for you automatically. If it is your own object, you need write your own code to do the conversion.
Hope this will give you a little direction to think.

I assume your output is an HTML stream. You can pipe this stream into a number of converters freely available on the Web (into PDF, DOC, RTF, not sure about XLS nor why would you want it anyway) to create the format you need.
Do some googling to find out how to download them. Once you have the converters use Java to sequence the appropriate system calls. This seems to me the most expeditious approach.
