I haven't done it, but if you have Windows + Word on the server then you can take advantage of the native Word API using COM. Pseudocode would be something like this:
1. Handle uploading the file to a temporary directory 2. Create a COM object for Word 3. Use this COM object load the temporary file 4. Use the adobe/pdf distiller to convert the file to a pdf file.
I don't think you need steps 2 and 3. Just upload the file, then have a cron job (or Windows "at" job) distill the file. However, there might be some licensing issues -- you should probably look at the Adobe Distiller license.
Adobe sells a Distiller server for 100 users for $5000, unlimited users for (cough) $15,000. See their website for details.
