In my project I am using a lot of strings to create reports. Is there any library or API that can create stylish reports (in PDF) in Java? I tried with Jasper reports but it can only create reports from mySQL database.Regards.
iText (not free for commercial use) will let you do PDF programmatically (code your layout). JODReports (free) or Docmosis (free trials but not free) can do PDF and other formats and work from templates (DOC or ODT) mail-merge style. Please note I work for the company that created Docmosis.
Each of the technologies will let you create stylish reports, but working from templates is often faster than working in code if you are starting from scratch.
Hope that helps.
Apache has several
http://pdfbox.apache.org/
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/
Or you can use http://itextpdf.com/
Try iText. I used it in some of my projects, and it works like a charm.

I need an API java for convert a docx to pdf, I tested with XDocReport but I believe this doesn't convert the image of the head of the document.I need convert table,image and border in the pdf,the api can be paid or free.
Thanks in advance.
Few years ago I have successfully used JODConverter with Open Office running in the headless mode to convert all sorts of files.
To be honest I cannot remember the exact limitations of the software, but there is a version of what I did still running as a webservice here:
http://oxgarage.oucs.ox.ac.uk:8080/ege-webclient/
and here: http://www.tei-c.org/oxgarage/.
No idea about what is the current version of the converter they are using and it is possible that it is a bit outdated and at the moment it works a lot better, but you can try to convert your files and see how well they come up before you go head first into coding.
I also found this article and it looks like it might be quite helpful for you, have a look at it:
http://angelozerr.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/how-to-convert-docxodt-to-pdfhtml-with-java/.
Oh and by the way, that webservice is opensource:
https://github.com/sebastianrahtz/oxgarage
, so you can have a look at how it is implemented as well.
Why dont you try JODconverter

The project aims to analyzing the patients’ illness cells using Big Data technology to indicate which treatments could have the best outcomes and fewest side effects.
But I think using python or java library. I can't decide which language's library is more useful for my project. if you have any experience , could you help me. I do not know about anything about big data.
Check out Anaconda. It's got just about every library you'll need for big data analysis bundled into one installer.
The Anaconda distro also includes Disco MapReduce, so you have all the tools you need to set up a distributed file system MapReduce farm for really large analysis jobs.

but here i am again still looking for a good reporting tool that i can perfectly integrate to my swing application under the Eclipse IDE
Thanks in advance.

Basically, what i want to know is, is there any better open-source option other than JODConverter, Apache POI, docx4j to do a conversion of Office documents - docx,doc,xls,xlsx,odt.. in to a PDF format. I have tried all these options, its working fine for smaller and simpler files. If the documents contains fields, objects, tables etc. those are not properly converted. None of these tools forums are active too. If possible we need to do use Java only. Any one have any better suggestions?
We ship with both open-source and closed-source office document converters. Apache POI is the best open-source office document converter we've found. Apache POI is active too. We have had success in fixing bugs ourselves, getting attention from developers for well-documented test cases/failures, and on hiring committers to the project to fix/update things we needed quickly.
a commercial library to do this is http://www.aspose.com/java/total-component.aspx
it's reasonably good - i have used an old version (haven't checked out their latest updated version).
I've recently used XDocReport. They support converters from docx to pdf (explained here)

I'm looking for a good charting library for Java. It can be open source or not and I need it to work in a stand alone client application rather than web-based.
We do have some dynamic charts however which scroll across the screen as data are provided that were done in MS chart and will need to be redone so not sure if JChart will accomplish this in an acceptable manner.
Are there any java charting libraries right in the J2SE API? I've also run across Oracle Chart Builder, but can't seem to find any information on it other than this link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A96127_01/jcb_intro.htm Has anyone ever heard of it before?
JFreeChart is an excellent open source charting library for java.
The samples demo (Java Web Start version or in the distribution) contains a section under Miscellaneous called Dynamic Charts (in addition to lots of others). The source code for the demos is available via the official documentation (the purchase of which supports the project).
http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/ - I used it for small project. Rendering dynamic data was quite complex but possible.
It's open source but you probably will have to pay for doc if you would like to do something serious.
