Answer 1

Unfortunately PDFKit doesn't seem to support converting documents to PDF:

The documentation states nothing about converting. This module seems to be purely for creating the documents from scratch.

You'll have to find a module or create something that takes an MS Doc and converts it to text, store this in your node app, then pass it through to PDFKit via the methods shown in the documentation.

Mammoth seems to do this.

There's a bunch of docx modules that might do an even better job.

Hope this helps!
