Let's take them one at a time:
Word->PS: you don't need Cygwin tools, just print to file on a portable
PostScript printer driver (Adobe LaserWriter is a good one that I usually
use -- make sure the PostScript driver options say "optimize for
portability"). Not Cygwin-specific (or -related) at all.
HTML->PS: same as above, but use your favorite browser to print.
PDF->PS: two ways: 1) Use Acrobat Reader to print to file (as above); or
2) (the Cygwin way) use the pdf2ps script that comes with ghostscript.
TeX->PS: need you ask? LaTeX! :-)
HTH,
Igor
