A:
You will need some library that is capable of rending these.
PHP on its own will not know how to render these file types. You could try converting the Word document and PowerPoint files to HTML, then convert the HTML into an image, there is software that can this for you.
As for the EPS, isn't that an image anyway? So you need to use a library like GD or ImageMagick into a meaningful format that they can resize for you.

That makes no sense. There is no reason why you can't do this at runtime.
