Error - Conversion from .doc to pdf

Question

Hi,
I'm using Trail version of LiveCycle ES 8.0(Turnkey Installation).
I need to convert any native file format to PDF/A. In order to do that, I'm just trying to convert it(.doc) to PDF first. But I do end-up with the error that is given below:
ALC-PDG-1000-000: com.adobe.livecycle.generatepdf.client.ConversionException: ALC-PDG-001-000-Conversion failed because of an exception.
RuntimeException; CausedByException is:

I'm using Generate PDF Service API(Java) to convert a document(.doc) to PDF.
Can anyone please provide their inputs on the above issue. How it can be resolved?
or
Is there any API to convert any native file format to PDFA directly?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm facing a different problem. Please help.
My requirement is to develop a standalone java program to convert Word documents to PDFs using Adoble LC ES.
I found the code from the Adobe LC ES documentation. Please help me what's wrong in the code.
I don't understand what i'm missing in the code...The "test.doc" file
is there in the given location with proper data and Document object is not "NULL". Program is able to connect to Adobe LC Server. No issues with connection. But why the error ??
Code & exception are below :
