There will be any document similar to the 3.5 to Pf guide that convert adventure paths from pf1 to pf2? Or pf2 to pf1? I haven't seen any information from paizo in this way
Honestly, I'm interested in the new pathfinder but i have many of Adventure paths i haven't played yet and it will be great to get them in the new system

Let's assume for a moment that Paizo doesn't put this out.
I can pretty much guarantee that some fans will put together an excellent conversion guide, at least for PF1 to PF2.
I'm also expecting some of the GMs who run converted games to have their notes available.
In one of the twitch streams it was stated that a conversion file will probably be coming but not immediately at release of 2E.
Several of the developers have commented on how it was really easy to convert something from 1E to 2E, like they were able to do it on the fly during the adventure. This makes sense when you consider how monsters stat blocks are really stripped down to only what you need for the encounter.

Mostly. But the way DCs are calculated is pretty different now, not obvious.
Also enemy NPCs with class levels will not be very easy on the fly, but certainly doable with preparation and good guidelines.

The range of DCs used in PF1 adventures and the range of DCs that seems likely to be used in PF2 based on the playtest values and what we know about how the numbers scale are pretty similar, even if they are not reached through exactly the same means - I'm doubtful it would cause much of an issue to just use the exact ones from the source adventure in most cases, which is about as easy as it gets.
The main difference will be Paizo's occasional habit of including "this is a moon shot" DCs, like in Kingmaker the DC 40 knowledge check (at 8th level) to know about Vordekai. In PF1e, if your build happened to line up with the check, you were probably going to make that - it's certainly happened a few times in games I've run.
With the tighter math in PF2e, those DCs will probably be actually impossible except on a 20.

NPCs with class levels will be extremely easy to adjust, imo. Just change stuff to target numbers, pick some spells, and add an ability or two that seems thematically appropriate for the class.
Well, it seems no one from paizo has said anything in this way. i think the conversion document is a must, and they know.
we will be waiting for any notice, conversion "on the fly" sounds so good

Apparently you missed the quote above. Jason has said in several places there will be something. Just not what it is yet.
