can POI create a PDF from an XLS?

[Mark Meyer <MM...@TravelCLICK.net>]

hi everyone..

we are using POI/java to create .XLS files in a unix environment with good
success.

can we also use POI/java to generate a .PDF file from the .XLS file?

our preference is to remain in a unix environment.

if POI is not the answer - can someone point me to alternatives?  again our
preference is to work in java in a unix environment.

thank you for any help or suggestions in this regard.
