I know that I'm going to sound as if I'm evangelizing, and maybe I am, a
little. However, you might want to see how the word files look in
OpenOffice.org.
Assuming that there are no formatting problems (and there may very well be),
you can safely use the master document feature in OOo, and export directly to
PDF without using another program.
And, of course, the program is free for the downloading, and can be learned at
the basic word processing level that your maintainers are probably going to be
working at within a matter of minutes.
