THIS IS DEPRECIATED
You may want to try the following instead:
http://convert.neevia.com/
This is a perl web script that given the url of a MS word file, it
converts it to a pdf file.
This depends on wget and an openoffice macro that can be found here:

Possible bugs:
- Trying to convert two files of the same name in the same second would
probably clobber the first one. I would just use pipes, but the open
office macro insists on a filename.
- Not sure what happens on error. I think I'll have a dialog box on my
local X-server.
- File names with spaces may be problematic. I'm too lazy to test.
TODO:
- Let the user upload a doc file.
