To get back on the topic: To be honest I don't really see a problem here - Word can handle PDF very easily, just drop a PDF file in a Word document - it works just fine (to make sure I'm talking about Office 2004 here). The fact that it does so in Microsoft-ish way, that is by converting it to a bitmap, is a technicality and given the overall quality of Word output it is neither surprising nor will a regular Word user notice this at all.
Unfortunately, it happens to convert it to a form of bitmap that is not visible on PC platforms unless they have Quicktime installed (as I rediscover every time I need to make a Word document... :-) )
