PDF is supported. See transfer syntax 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.104.1,
Encapsulated PDF Storage. I do not know about Word, but I guess you
could change that to text file, and then check
1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.88.11, Basic Text SR Storage.

There is also a way to store XML document, but I never seen such
files.
