I still haven't found a solution to work with Tiger (a requirement).
This script (below, from Michael Conner) doesn't address the "PDF"
popup menu in the print dialog, tho I did go down this road.
I'd much rather not depend on UI elements at all, and go straight to
the print services somehow.
Someone suggested Trapeze, which goes the other way (PDF -> Word)
Tried Strangelove, which does work, but not well enough. It loses a
LOT in translation. Headers, footers, embedded graphics all gone.
Donno how I'd script it, but perhaps a shell script would work. But
the results are not acceptable.
I'll report new stuff as I learn it.
I REALLY appreciate the response here!!

If you are losing a tug of war with a tiger, give him the rope before
he gets to your arm. You can always buy a new rope.
