Extract the ms office file: Apache POI ( http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/ )
Create PDF: PDFBox ( http://www.pdfbox.org/ ) or iText ( http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ )

The DOC part of POI hasn't been under develoment for a while. If it can't do what you need it to do, check out the OpenOffice Java API.

You could also look into itext if you want. I dont know if its very good for importing pdf..but is great for exporting
