If a word 2007 is created and converted to pdf, can the pdf file be read on a
computer with word 2003 if file format converters are installed? If not..what
might my problem be or what can I do?

Yes, the PDF file can be read on any machine with any version of Word, as the
document is no longer associated with Word but the PDF Reader/Acrobat version.
So long as they receiver has PDF reader software equal of newer than the
created PDF version.
As Word 2003 and prior did not have any PDF capabilites built in you should
not have any problems.
Hope this helps

No version of Word has any facility to read PDF format. You need Adobe
Reader.
