First you have to read the data in PDF with a Framework iText Programmable PDF software .nOnce you are done with reading of data you can write it into the excel using Apache POI - the Java API for Microsoft Documents or JExcelApi . I would suggest you to use Apache POI as it supports 27 workbooks.

Very well possible given that likes of POI are written using Java(or can be). Basically xlsx files are zip files. If you change the extension to .zip file. You can view some bunch of xml files. Look at Office Open XML . Office Open XML (also informally known as OOXML or OpenXML ) is a zipped XML -based file format developed by Microsoft for representing spreadsheets charts presentations and word processing documents. The format was initially standardised by Ecma (as ECMA-376) and in later versions by ISO and IEC (as ISO 295). nYou may follow that standard to write your own library in java to extract the data from excel files and follow PDF standard to convert the same into PDF format without using any external libraries. If you mean if there are any inbuilt packages in JDK no. But if you mean if it can be done using Java yes. Because pretty much anything can be written from scratch. But it may not be a good idea to reinvent the wheel.
for Java API can convert your Microsoft Excel Auto Shapes into PDF on Server Side without any need to install or automate Microsoft Excel. In fact it can be used to convert all sorts of Microsoft Excel files and itsponents to PDF. In order to demonstrate it please see the following Sample Code and the Snapshot given below that shows the Sample Excel file containing various Auto Shapes italic and the Output PDF italic generated by for Java . Java Directory path for input and output files. code String dirPath = DDownload; code code Load sample Excel file into Workbook object. code wb = new Workbook(dirPath + ); code code Specify PDF save options - one page per sheet. code PDFSaveOptions opts = new PDFSaveOptions(); code (); code code Save Microsoft Excel Workbook containing AutoShapes to PDF. code (dirPath + opts); code Screenshot showing Sample Excel file containing AutoShapes and Output PDF file generated by API Hopefully it will be helpful for you. Thank you.
