How to generate pdf from docx - NodeJS + TypeScript

I'm trying to generate a PDF from a previously generated DOCX file in NodeJS. I'm using NestJS and TypeScript. I have tried many ways, but everything fails:

  • @nativedocuments/docx-wasm: NativeDocuments isn't working anymore.
  • word2pdf: Is archived at github, and unavailable at npm.
  • docx-pdf: Generates an unstyled pdf. It removes my tables, indentation, justified text, etc.
  • libreoffice-convert: Throws a window error: The application cannot be started. The configuration file "C:/Program Files/LibreOffice/program/bootstrap.ini" is corrupt (But LibreOffice software is working with no problem).

Do you know some workaround to the problems I got with any of the previously mentioned docx to pdf alternatives? Or maybe some other alternative that I can use (For free, please)?

Thank you in advance!

The best I know about is using Libreoffice. You don't really need a wrapper library for that.

You can just execute libreoffice directly using exec:

const { exec } = require("child_process");

exec("libreoffice --headless file.xyz", (error, stdout, stderr) => {
    if (error) {
        console.log(`error: ${error.message}`);
        return;
    }
    if (stderr) {
        console.log(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
        return;
    }
    console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`);
});

You'll need to first write your DOCX to a file somewhere on the disk where Libreoffice would be able to open it, and the resulting PDF would be written on the disk as well - then you can load it into Node with fs.

I've had success using Puppeteer to render PDFs from HTML documents. If you could manage to transform your DOCX file into HTML, this might be a viable option. It looks like there are options available to do so, but I can't vouch for them.
