Add docx to pdf converter #12

Closed conig closed 3 years ago

conig commented 3 years ago

To facilitate pdf page look-ups it would be useful to include a docx to PDF conversion function. Perhaps we could use pandoc?

Have added support for windows requiring a separate install of docto. Will also need a solution for mac users.

The current template can be knit to a word doc. We currently knit the template to html and pdf. @tarensanders should not be too hard to add knit to word doc in the yaml also?

Currently it's only possible to automatically detect page numbers for quotes if PDFs are provided. I was thinking having a function to convert word docs to pdf would help make workflows a bit easier, but as I can't support mac I've relegated it to be an internal function.
