What is the use for the input file name?

Question

Some of Livecycle function need inputfilename besides the document object, such as following. The document object already give as a input parameter, why still need inputfilename? Actually I use some other dummy name that is different from the physical file name, it still works. So just do not get it why need input file name parameter in some Adobe LiveCycle class functions?
CreatePDFResult createPDF(Document inDoc, String inputFileName, String pdfSettings, String securitySettings, Document inSettingsDoc, Document inXMPDoc)
Thanks for your help,

Hi,
Please help me.
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 :
