Thanks Paul. I added that and after it still didn't work I expanded on Chris' suggestion of dumping my scopes (which I should have done earlier) one by one to see where I was dying and it turned out the content variable was coming up empty plus there was an extra argument being passed to convertToPDF both of which were killing it.
After fixing the extra argument, I tried a text document instead of the Word file and it converted perfectly. I know the problem is with the Word file and I've tried different character sets but I get this error consistently: *struct* detail [empty string] errorcode errorCode.javaException extendedinfo [empty string] javaexception org.xml.sax.SAXParseException message Content is not allowed in prolog. tagcontext *array [empty]* type org.xml.sax.SAXParseException Anyone got any tricks for reading in Word files with the Flying Saucer code? Unfortunately that's the exact file I need to convert for this application. I'm going to research this on the Flying Saucer site as well but thought someone on this list may have already figured it out. Thanks for the help everyone!
