libreoffice-convert not working in nodejs

Question

So, I am using the libreoffice-convert, running in my nodejs application of course. My code as below

const file = fs.readFileSync(enterPath);
// Convert it to pdf format with undefined filter (see Libreoffice doc about filter)
libre.convert(file, extend, undefined, (err, done) => {
    if (err) {
      console.log(`Error converting file: ${err}`);
    }
    
    // Here in done you have pdf file which you can save or transfer in another stream
    fs.writeFileSync(outputPath, done);
});

The code above returns an error when it tries to open LibreOffice.

The application cannot be started. 
The configuration file "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\bootstrap.ini" is corrupt.

This is the content of my bootstrap.ini

[Bootstrap]
InstallMode=<installmode>
ProductKey=LibreOffice 7.0
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/LibreOffice/4

Really appreciate if anyone could help to solve this. Also not sure if it helps, but I am running it on Windows.

Answer 1

In case if someone is facing the same issue as I did, here's what I did to solve it.

1. Download and install the LibreOffice. You can download it here

2. After running npm i libreoffice-convert, go to your_project/node_modules/libreoffice-convert/index.js, find the code below.

/* your_project/node_modules/libreoffice-convert/index.js */

let command = `-env:UserInstallation=file://${installDir.name} --headless --convert-to ${format}`;

// change to 

let command = `${installDir.name} --headless --convert-to ${format}`;

3. Try your script now.
