You can get a similiar result exporting ms-word docs to html. Then using html2ps to convert the file to postscript. Convert the postscript to PDF using ps2pdf.
something like ...
- export file to html using MSWord/OO to say file.doc->file.html
- using cygwin on windows (or copy file to *nix sys)
- perl /usr/bin/html2ps file.html > file.ps
- ps2pdf file.ps
If you have cygwin on a MS system this works OK (especially if you dont have access to a *nix). The above suggestion works a treat if you have OO/*nix combo.
It works for text. But I have not tried text/graphics or plain graphics. Anyone had experience with graphics using this approach?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
