Follow these links:
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/generate-pdfs-php : this is a commercial product. It uses the PDFLib, which needs to be installed.

No extra libs are required for this one, 2 part tutorial:

there's ways using COM+
You might want to look into PHP's COM Package

Unfortunately I can't test this at the moment...
Check this code out:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instanciate Word");

$word->Visible = 1;

$word->Documents->Open("one.html");

$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("test_one.doc",1);

$word->Quit();

$word->Release();

$word = null;

?>
