To complete this, I would recommend two libraries. The first (I have not used), as Word documents are not plaintext, you will need to be able to read the Word doc. For this, try PHPWord. This appears to have been used in other projects for the purpose of reading Word docs (and creating them).

Secondly, converting to PDF use FPDF, this library I have a lot of experience. It's been around a long time so there is some great examples and documentation. It doesn't take long to figure out but does require a bit of playing around to get the PDF doc looking exactly as you like. If you need any additional info using this library, give me a shout. But both of these should help you. FPDF can also be very easily converted to a Codeigniter library. I used it in a CiBonfire application before.
