HOWEVER, there are quite a few RTF->PDF converters, several available at no
charge.
I guess you' re talking about tools and not APIs. I already have mentioned the
conversion has to be made programmaticaly. I also have mentioned my application
has to be portable and not coupled with a specific OS like Windows or Linux. If
you are talking about APIs at no charge that can make the conversion, please
name them I' d be very interested.
Are you making the point that your organization rejects an external executable,
but would be OK with a library?
Well, yes. With a library you just import it to your Project and use it. Then
it is compiled along with the rest of your project and delivered to your
customer with no extra actions. Whereas with the openOffice solution, our
customer will have to install openOffice.org as well in the same machine that
will host our application and make sure the openOffice.org service is always
running in order for our application to be functional (Right? Or, have I
misunderstood something here?).
Let aside the fact that having a whole project (openOffice.org) running just to
be able to use a small port of its capabilities (document conversion) doesn' t
exactly seem so good, at list to me.

Finally, openOffice is not an option at all. It turned out that we don' t want
to couple our application with another one (openOffice.org). Therefore, I am
lost. After searching everything that can be searched in the web I find no
solution. Is there really not a solution for my problem???
I think I saw somewhere talking about XSL-FO ... How could this help me, if it
could?

The suggestion to rely on XSL-FO I don't understand; I'll leave that to others.
"Is there really not a solution ..."? Yes and no; if you need it open-sourced
and coded in Java, well, no, I know of none. HOWEVER, there are quite a few
RTF->PDF converters, several available at no charge, that are available
specifically for Windows or Linux. If I understand your situation, therefore,
what's before you is to decide how you feel about "coupl[ing your] application"
with a combination of other ones.
How else *would* a solution look? Are you making the point that your
organization rejects an external executable, but would be OK with a library?
