I usually responded to such requirements by producing bitmap version of
the ps/pdf document in question and include them in an otherwise empty
.doc. This gives really ugly results, is pretty unusable, but conforms
to the rules. When I offered the original .pdf as alternative, guess
what suddenly became "acceptable"...

Lucky me does not have to produce paperwork anymore...

Following rules by the letter usually does not give the intended result.
