There is also a set of MS-Word Macro's (Word2MediaWIki or something
quit close). Which does a reasonably decent job of converting from
Word straingt to Wiki text. It'll even convert images.

Have you tried simply saving .doc files in MS Word in the HTML Reduced
(!) format, then paste the code of the resulting page into the wiki's
edit window and upload?
As shocking as it may sound, I've managed to produce webpages that
validated OK in w3.org's validator (after 2 or 3 manual corrections)
after saving Word files using the HTML Reduced (!) output format.
It must be the HTML *Reduced* format, though, introduced in Office XP, I
think.
As to PDF files, I'd use FineReader to convert them to *.doc, then use
Word's HTML Reduced (!) format to save to html.
(Or FineReader's own simple HTML output format.)
(None of this may be "a good way to approach this"
but it's the only way I know right now.)
