B4J Question jPOI: from docx to PDF

[udg]

Hi all,
now that I can substitute runtime text in a docx "model" document, I'd like to output it as a PDF (rather than docx, or even in addition to the docx version)
I found a few references but I'm not sure whether they're still valid and how to convert them to B4J code.
Here's a link to StackOverflow
This one is very similar
Apache POI pages seems to suggest the use of FOP.

I'd like an all-POI solution (from doc assembling to PDF saving), but if it gets too complicated there are many alternatives, so I don't consider it critical.
It would be nice to learn how to drive the whole process in code.

If the app will run on Windows 10 and you can assume that Word is installed then you can probably do something similar to: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/xlutils-generate-pdf-reports.131119/#content

I can help you if it is relevant.

Thank you very much for your offer.
I don't think it is really a need (and at this time I don't know what's installed on my friend's PC).
I'll look at the solution in your link to have a better understanding of what is involved. What I hoped for was something already part of POI, able to output a PDF instead of a docx file. A simple method eventually named "writePDF" which assumed some standard config for the output. Surely they had good reasons to treat it as an export rather than a "standard" output format.
