Could you use Jython (the Java port of Python) [http://www.jython.org]?
If that was an option, you could use Cocoon 
[http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/], which I *think* can convert to/from 
PDF.  I also *think* it can convert to DOC, and it can definitely 
convert to RTF.

Sorry to be so vague, not used Coccon in anger before, but looked at it 
in some depth a while back.

Hope this is some use,
Best wishes

John
