PDF conversion for the password protected doc file

[krisalay]

Hello,

I am trying to convert the password protected .docx file to pdf using this nodejs package.
But I am not able to figure out the way to do so. Can you please let me know the best way to achieve this functionality?

Hey @krisalay!

I'm glad you found my package useful, but unfortunately, I haven't worked with password-protected files so can't advise you on this topic.

However, if you find a way to do this from LibreOffice CLI you can pass any arguments you want to execSync, as all it does is wrapping original LibreOffice CLI

@vladgolubev Thank you for your quick response. I will try to do it using the CLI.

@vladgolubev
I have another issue.
I am running my service in kubernetes with 32 replica sets. And I passes about 11k requests to the server for the conversion process.
For about 1.5k requests, I get the following error:

[Error: Command failed: /tmp/instdir/program/soffice --headless --invisible --nodefault --view --nolockcheck --nologo --norestore --convert-to pdf _local_bucket/ec805320-720d-4781-b74e-abfab751b5ed.docx --outdir _local_bucket
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::lang::WrappedTargetRuntimeException'

Can you please let me know what the issue is?

@krisalay I can't give any guarantees this package will work in Kubernetes

It was compiled to work in AWS Lambda, as the name of the package states aws-lambda-libreoffice

So, unfortunately, I can't tell what this issue is. You may find help on LibreOffice/StackOverflow/Kubernetes forums

@vladgolubev Thanks, I will look into it.

About that, @vladgolubev (this only working in AWS).

First of all, thanks for this package. Helped me tremendously.
I've been meaning to say this, and wasn't sure where.

I can report that this package works out-of-the-box in Google Cloud Functions (and I imagine Firebase), as long as I select the beta Node.js 8 runtime (because of #15).

I'm using a 2048MB/2.4GHz “VM”, but the 1024MB/1.4GHz would do as well.

Thanks for the info @ncruces! I'll add this to README

UPD: done

@ncruces I have just tested for Google Cloud Functions ... And out-of-the box (i take example from the readme.md), it's not working for me :( ... How did you make the plugin working so easily ?

Here is my error : "Cannot find LibreOffice. Document conversion cannot be used"

Thanks in advance,

[ncruces]

Package as changed since I've used it last. I don't use this out-of-the-box any more. I also don't recognize that error message.

Things to look for: are you using Node.js 8 Beta?
Do you have sufficient memory to deploy this (you need at least 1 GB)?

I'm using the same LibreOffice binaries compiled here (lo.tar.br), so I'm sure those work. But I'm using Go instead of Node.js. Cloud Functions Go is still a closed alpha and under NDA, so it doesn't make sense to contribute my solution. I'll revisit that decision in the future. Changes I made are "documented" here.

Thanks @ncruces for your answers !!!
I found my error ... I use a local LibreOffice on local env for testing and this awesome plugin in prod env ... Bad "if" implementation ...

And I can confirm ... the plugin is still working out-of-the-box on Cloud Functions !!! :)

Thanks to all !!!
