POI does not offer a simple, direct way of converting an Office document - Excel Workbook, Word Document - into a pdf. The best you could do would be to combine POI with something like iText and use the former to strip the information from the Office document and the latter to create then populate the new pdf document.
The only way I know of to convert directly from Office to pdf is to use either the relevant Office component (Word, Excel, etc) or OpenOffice. There is an api called JODConvertor - http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/jodconverter - that you may wish to take a look at. It removes the 'problem' of working directly with OpenOffice - no UNO code to write!
