docx4j contains org.docx4j.convert.in.Doc, which uses POI to read the .doc, but it is a proof of concept, not production ready code. Last I checked, there were limits to POI's HWPF parsing of a binary .doc.

Further to mqchen's comment, you can use LibreOffice or OpenOffice to convert doc to docx. But if you are going to use LibreOffice or OpenOffice, you may as well use it to convert both .doc and .docx directly to PDF. Google 'jodconverter'.
