Is there a common solution to generate msoffice, libreoffice and pdf documents on the fly?

I would like to generate office documents (msoffice, oo) and pdf on the fly from one source document. Currently i think about opendocument as templates files and libreoffice-headless as converter.

Does anybody have experience on this topic and is there a (commercial?) ready to use solution?

A commercial solution is Docmosis which has a downloadable and cloud-service solutions using MSWord/OpenOffice documents as templates and providing template-population features, load balancing, doc/docx/odt/pdf/rtf/html production and quite a few other features. One of it's key features is to generate point-in-time output in multiple formats (from the same template and data) as you mentioned. It has at least one Ruby example to show the population features. Please note I work for the company that created Docmosis.

Another option is the open source JOD Reports.

I hope that helps.
