Yes you can for example use the OpenOffice API:

With this Java API you can build documents from scratch or open a template file to merge data into specified fields.

An example of loading a template document and merge data into user specified fields: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Text/Example:_Fields_in_a_Template

And then you can save as different filetypes (.rtf, .doc, .pdf, ...)
