Word doc to pdf conversion?

I am trying to find a way to convert a Word doc saved in the XML format to a PDF file (that looks like the original Word doc). Yes, there are all kinds of ways to do this interactively. What I need is something that can be run as a background process so that when XML files are placed in a certain directory a cron job can periodically convert them to a PDF file. I would assume there are some Windows libraries that have something like this, but I am trying to do this on UNIX. Without 1,000 hours of programming.

ppi::token::word

PPI::Token::Word(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     PPI::Token::Word(3pm)

NAME

       PPI::Token::Word - The generic "word" Token

INHERITANCE

	 PPI::Token::Word
	 isa PPI::Token
	     isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION

       A "PPI::Token::Word" object is a PPI-specific representation of several different types of word-like things, and is one of the most common
       Token classes found in typical documents.

       Specifically, it includes not only barewords, but also any other valid Perl identifier including non-operator keywords and core functions,
       and any include "::" separators inside it, as long as it fits the format of a class, function, etc.

METHODS

       There are no methods available for "PPI::Token::Word" beyond those provided by its PPI::Token and PPI::Element parent classes.

       We expect to add additional methods to help further resolve a Word as a function, method, etc over time.  If you need such a thing right
       now, look at Perl::Critic::Utils.

   literal
       Returns the value of the Word as a string.  This assumes (often incorrectly) that the Word is a bareword and not a function, method,
       keyword, etc.  This differs from "content" because "Foo'Bar" expands to "Foo::Bar".

   method_call
       Answers whether this is the name of a method in a method call. Returns true if yes, false if no, and nothing if unknown.

TO DO

       - Add "function", "method" etc detector methods
