adobe acroread?
Doesn't acroread allow for all these things?
Look at "man convert" I thought it could handle some doc formats and convert to many other formats, including pdf

Open Office has the option to export most of its formats to pdf, including doc. As far as the other features go, dunno.

ooffice okay (mostly)
If you have nothing fancy in your Word docs, it can be handled by Open Office without too much mangling.

In my experience OpenOffice.org 1.1 screws it up. Missing spaces and indents and so on.

I think that Acrobat Reader can't convert files. It is only a reader. That's how Adobe spread PDF. They give the reader for free (so everyone can use their format) and they sell the writers.
And "man convert" tells me that I have no "convert" command in my shell.

No, acroread definitely can't convert files. That's what Adobe Acrobat Pro is for (not available for Linux and terribly overpriced for Windows). Have you tried it with OpenOffice yet? Like I said, it's made some conversion mistakes for me, but it does convert the files.

I just tried OO. The PDF exported looks great but I can't add bookmarks to it.
Any other suggestion?
