Converting documents to PDF:

uses The ReportLab Toolkit:

with images also need the Python Imaging Library (PIL):

The problem is that you have to bring in the MS-Word document into python to process it. If you simply have to convert a MS-Word document, you can bring it into OpenOffice-Write (free from Sun) and export it from there to PDF.
