You've shot yourself in the foot because accurately converting Office documents requires Office. Which requires Mac or Windows (preferably Windows). Adobe's server solution is LiveCycle PDF Generator. Has a Java interface, but you'll need a Windows server for it.

Interestingly, I found that Adobe contradicted me.

LiveCycle PDF Generator is supported on certain Linux and Unix systems, and does integrate to OpenOffice. Suggesting Adobe have confidence in its abilities.

Described on Adobe LiveCycle ES4 supported platforms guide

Linux systems: RedHat Enterprise and SUSE.
