If you're really clever you can turn this into a printer share and let
people print to it from their Windows boxes and either (if
authenticated) have the pdf emailed to them or turn up in some shared
temporary directory a few moments later. After all, even Windows can
produce Postscript!
Someone mentioned this a while ago so I'm sure if you hunt around
there'll be a script somewhere.
(However have you ever looked at the Postscript that Word outputs?
Ergh!)
