Unfortunately, we have Acrobat 4.0, so I think I'll have to manually create
all the bookmarks (please correct me if I'm wrong; I hope I'm wrong:). Also,
when the Word files are converted to PDF, the quality of the screen shots
significantly deteriorate.

You know, PDFs are a lot better than they used to be. I haven't seen
Acrobat 7 yet, but the search function in 6 is very good (even if it has
no thesaurus support), and with lots of bookmarks and hot links, I think
it can do enough.
Just be sure and review all the documentation about creating bookmarks and
links automatically.
Might make this a little less of a death march for you.
