    List sections = wordMLPackage.getDocumentModel().getSections();
    for (int i = 0; i < sections.size(); i++) {
        wordMLPackage.getDocumentModel().getSections().get(i)
                .getPageDimensions();
    }

Can't help you, but I love how your sample text is the English translation of the traditional Latin filler text "Lorem ipsum". :-) (sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum) – Papery

Why someone gave the negative vote for this question . – Philosophism

I don't know, you provided a clear code example, you show the problem with screenshots. People are people? – Papery

Use the below code for docx to pdf converstion.

import org.docx4j.Docx4J;
import org.docx4j.openpackaging.packages.WordprocessingMLPackage;
import org.docx4j.openpackaging.parts.WordprocessingML.MainDocumentPart;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;

public class DocToPDF {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        try {
            InputStream templateInputStream = new FileInputStream("D:\\\\Workspace\\\\New\\\\Sample.docx");
            WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(templateInputStream);
            MainDocumentPart documentPart = wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart();

            String outputfilepath = "D:\\\\Workspace\\\\New\\\\Sample.pdf";
            FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(outputfilepath);
            Docx4J.toPDF(wordMLPackage,os);
            os.flush();
            os.close();
        } catch (Throwable e) {
