I have a small Perl script that has been useful for the last 20 years. It uses OLE to open Word documents and print them to PDF. Nowadays Word has a save to pdf option, but initially the script would print to postscript and then convert to PDF with Ghost. It runs from IIS, but over the years it has been used as a CLI tool or with Apache. So far nothing has shown to be as reliable as this script at converting to PDF. It would be great not to depend on Word or even Windows, but there's nothing that can convert with the same level of fidelity.
