There is an article about bulk-converting Office to PDF on OONinja:

I made a script to convert stuff on the public Web to PDF. It relies on 
OOffice running on my server and may not be up, may be slow, and I get to 
see what you are reading :-7 But try if you like... Code available on 
request.

If you have plain text, there's a2ps and mpage then ps2pdf to make PDFs, 
which might be prettier .. I recall from LaTeX it's possible to make a 
PDF index and hyperlinks, too..
