This repository is no longer maintained

Since the last commit was over 2 years ago. (see the last commit) By the way, there has only been one commit since the initial release. (see the commit history)

These two commits were done on the same day.

This repository will NOT be open-sourced

See the issue #4 in particular this comment.

In short: This repository will NOT be open-sourced.

And now ?

Now I open this issue to discuss alternatives and other solutions.

  1. Do you know of other ways to convert docx file to pdf client side?
  2. Do you know of an alternative library?

Open source and maintained solutions will be appreciated. However feel free to give any suitable solution.

Any help would be appreciated. This will help anyone in my case who will come across this repository.

Thank you in advance for your future contributions.

I second that question. NativeDocument's solution seemed the best and they suddenly disappeared.

This s#!7 projects pollutes google and all tutorial sites and stuff. I wasted days searching and finally found https://github.com/zVolodymyr/docxjs Now, it's not docx to pdf but i'm pretty sure there's a way to convert the HTML it outputs to canvas, then PDF. mammoth.js has terrible accuracy issues. https://github.com/zVolodymyr/docxjs is not perfect either but it's the best I saw, except for the "Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides" extension from the chrome web store (it has a minified JS that i'm not sure I'd be allowed to use even if I had the time to figure out its methods)
