If you are on Windows, COM package is the best option.

phpword does not converts to PDF, it only helps on creating word document and using variables replacement on it.

Open Office and This Code Helps me :)

<?php
    set_time_limit(0);
    function MakePropertyValue($name,$value,$osm){
    $oStruct = $osm->Bridge_GetStruct("com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue");
    $oStruct->Name = $name;
    $oStruct->Value = $value;
    return $oStruct;
    }
    function word2pdf($doc_url, $output_url){
    //echo $output_url;
    //Invoke the OpenOffice.org service manager
    $osm = new COM("com.sun.star.ServiceManager") or die ("Please be sure that OpenOffice.org is installed.\n");
    //Set the application to remain hidden to avoid flashing the document onscreen
    $args = array(MakePropertyValue("Hidden",true,$osm));
    //Launch the desktop
    $oDesktop = $osm->createInstance("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop");
    //Load the .doc file, and pass in the "Hidden" property from above
    $oWriterDoc = $oDesktop->loadComponentFromURL($doc_url,"_blank", 0, $args);
    //Set up the arguments for the PDF output
    $export_args = array(MakePropertyValue("FilterName","writer_pdf_Export",$osm));
    //print_r($export_args);
    //Write out the PDF
    $oWriterDoc->storeToURL($output_url,$export_args);
    $oWriterDoc->close(true);
    }
    $output_dir = "C:/wamp/www/vineesh/";
    $doc_file = "C:/wamp/www/vineesh/vineesh.docx";
    $pdf_file = "vineesh.pdf";
    $output_file = $output_dir . $pdf_file;
    $doc_file = "file:///" . $doc_file;
    $output_file = "file:///" . $output_file;
    word2pdf($doc_file,$output_file);

Do you mean PHP library ? Then phpdocx will work for you. Go through documentation on installation and generating pdf.
