People,

DocBook XML from a web page, or use PHP's PDF functionality to do it
as well (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php).
If it's a requirement the end user use Word, I'm sure Adobe has

up X it told me there was a problem with the configuration.

I think you're going to be out-of-luck on this one. At least with MS Word as the
