The Office docs can be converted to PDF using Microsoft Office and its capacity to save a document as a PDF. You can find multiple samples on using the Office API to print as a PDF. For the pdf format you can use pdfbox and its feature to convert a pdf to an image and you can display the image of the first page as a preview.
Html and txt can be displayed directly or you can convert them to PDF as well.
