I gave a presentation about OOoPDFConverter at the LinuxTag 2010 on last Saturday. The java application OOoPDFConverter creates PDF documents on the command line. It uses OpenOffice.org in a headless mode and is able to pass all available options to the PDF export filter of the office.

OpenOffice.org is able to export office files to the PDF file format. I created with Andre a new java project on Sourceforge.net that uses OpenOffice.org in the headless mode from the command line to convert files to the PDF file format. Therefor it uses the UNO framework of OpenOffice.org
You can create this PDF files with the options that are in OpenOffic.org available inside the PDF dialog, i.e. you can create PDF/A.
Our java application is able to work multiple files in one go.
