Hi,

I have the same kind of requirement.

Warning! This project is now unmaintained. The latest version 2.0.0 was released back in September 2006. You may still find it useful, since it is open source you are free to get the code and modify it, but be aware that the original author is no longer developing it.

I know, I saw it, but still, I tried and it worked.
FYI, a part of the project JODREPORTS is already included in Alfresco : jodconverter.

Thank you anyway
