Hi Prgya,

 

You can generate pdf from page for that you have to set rendereas attribute as pdf,

you have word doc as attachment with custom object, is this as BLOB type?

if it is than you convert blob to string and then take content of string on page and than render content as pdf

 

this may helps you,
