If you can get the SuperFonts-using AWP files printed to disk, you can just prepend the IWEM file with a few mods to it and run it through GhostScript (or Acrobat Distiller). An example is here:

For the non-SuperFonts AppleWorks files, you can use the DeskJet/LaserJet PCL printer driver, print the files to disk, and run them through the GhostScript product, GhostPCL.
