Any more updates on this project? - it looks awesome!
By the way:
If you use MS Word, try CutePDF..it is free.
http://www.cutepdf.com/
How it works:
Once installed, open up MS Word and the document you wish to convert to pdf. When ready to convert, click on PRINT. When the print window opens, switch the printer to CutePDF and click OK.
It will start to compile and when close to being done, will pop-up a save window - choose your destination (I sound like a travel agent), save and a few moments later. Voila!
Cheers,
