I'd be interested in anything you find out about LaTeX --> Interleaf v5,
since your situation sounds exactly like our situation.

If you're not interested in editing your files in Interleaf, then you can
use dvips to convert the dvi file to postscript and then the postscript
filter into Interleaf. It works fine except the file is converted to 
Interleaf graphics. Not a real acceptable solution.

Our documentation people told me that they normally scan the printed output
into tiff or gif format and use the supplied filter to import the document
into Interleaf.

I've been experimenting with ghostscript to see if I can use it to bypass
the physical scan, but haven't had much luck
