Answer 2

You might be able to do the latter using OpenOffice from the command line. There are also bridges for Scripting languages - find out more on OpenOffice's website. There is one for PHP called PUNO, however I have no personal experience with it yet.

Answer 3

You can convert HTML into .doc using an OpenOffice macro, see this thread:

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=44367#44367

converting pdf to .doc is much harder, due the multitude of different content that could be inside a PDF - quite often PDFs are used for things such as scanned text.

Answer 4

You can use pdftohtml to make an html file from a pdf.

Word can open html files directly.
