The easiest way would be to use ps2pdf, part of the gs package. You
would create a postscript file from any of the packages you
mentioned, then ps2pdf would turn it into a PDF.
You wouldn't end up with the snazzy bookmarks and hyperlinks you
would in a LaTeX document converted with a working pdflatex, but
since you aren't authoring things in LaTeX and your pdflatex doesn't
appear to be working, you aren't really losing anything.
Woody has gs 6.53, which iirc does a pretty decent job at the
conversion. Newer versions will do better in certain cases, but I
think that 6.53 was pretty stable for anything except weird
cases/fonts/etc.
