custom-soffice-to-pdf

Inspired from @janek26's office-to-pdf package.

LibreOffice required and more specifically soffice. Test if the command soffice is available in your console or specify the command to run.

Example:

var toPdf = require("custom-soffice-to-pdf")
var fs = require("fs")
var wordBuffer = fs.readFileSync("./test.docx")

toPdf(wordBuffer).then(
  (pdfBuffer) => {
    fs.writeFileSync("./test.pdf", pdfBuffer)
  }, (err) => {
    console.log(err)
  }
)

in Node >v7 you can do (very pretty):

import toPdf from 'custom-soffice-to-pdf'

var pdfBuffer = await toPdf(wordBuffer)

as you see toPdf just returns a promise

Specify which command to use:

Just pass another argument with the command to run instead of soffice

import toPdf from 'custom-soffice-to-pdf'

var pdfBuffer = await toPdf(wordBuffer, '"C:\\Program Files\\LibreOffice\\program\\soffice"')
