We’re looking for a plug-in that will generate PDF (.pdf) output from a Word (.docx) doc.
We checked out ‘Any document type To PDF conversion’ last updated ’25 Jul 2010’, and are currently using ‘Dynamic Document Generator’ last updated ‘29 Sep 2014’.
However, it does not support the following:
1.          Lines and borders
2.          Shading
3.          Input text font(s) – instead it appears to default all text to Times Roman, causing formatting/skewing issues.
Does anyone have a plug-in or a recommendation to fully convert a Word doc to a PDF, including support of the above features?

I don't think there's another plug-in out there for download but you can have a look at the source code to see if this is something you can enhance or do an online research on what other libraries (different from iText) you an use. You can use the current plug-in as an example on how to build yours but using other library.

The advantage of plug-ins of this type is that it's pure Java with 3rd party libraries meaning you should be able to find other libraries that can allow you convert to PDF if iText doesn't meet your look and feel requirements.
