You will need to use a pre-compiled library of functions unless you want to take the time to write these functions yourself.

This is not easy stuff to code. You need to know file formats and to know how to convert from one file format to another. If you want the "quick and dirty" method of implementing a function without having to learn all of the stuff needed to write the code for the function, you'll need to make use of someone else's work.

Take a look at http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/; scroll down to the section about using the author's tool package in Java - import the package the same way that you import classes and packages from the JDK. Then you can call the functions supplied. With this one you need to have OpenOffice installed on your computer and you need to make calls to the operating system to connect to Open Office to supply you with the functionality you want to implement.

A very good library I've used is iText. You don't need other products installed or any interaction with the OS to write PDFs (except for another .jar library if you need to encrypt the PDFs). Check the tutorial.
