our main task is to provide an option to the user to customize the format of his research paper.for example,converting the paper from ieee format to acm format.the user uploads his research paper,and enters the format he wants the paper to be in.the research paper is simple text that has been cut and paste into the word.while reading the doc file using hwpf,i want to know the font size of each paragraph so that i can know whether it is a heading or not.after reading the doc file we generate the pdf file using itext libraries in the format entered by the user.i am not limiter to use HWPF.this is a project set by a tutor.i have searched for libraries that can provide a platform to deal with doc files and i came to know about HWPF.i am using 2003 version of word file.as a research paper contains equations i have to read them.we haven't looked for any alternatives yet.
