Overview

This node allows you to convert Office documents (such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files) into PDF format using the 1001fx API. It is particularly useful in automation workflows where you need to standardize document formats, archive files, or share documents in a universally accessible format. For example, you might use this node to automatically convert uploaded resumes to PDF, generate reports from spreadsheets, or prepare presentations for distribution.

Properties

Name Meaning
Office file Office file to be converted to pdf. This should be provided as a binary input.
Binary Property Name of the binary property to which to write the data of the read file (default: "data")

Output

  • The output will contain a binary field with the name specified in Binary Property.
  • This binary field contains the resulting PDF file.
  • Any existing binary data on the item is preserved, and the new PDF is added under the specified property name.
  • The json part of the output remains unchanged unless an error occurs, in which case it may contain an error field with details.

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the 1001fx API.
  • API Key: You must configure the 1001fxApi credential in n8n.
  • n8n Configuration: Ensure that the workflow provides the Office file as binary data under the property specified by Binary Property.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Binary Data:
    If the input item does not have the expected binary property, the node will fail. Make sure the Office file is correctly attached as binary data.
  • Invalid File Format:
    If the file is not a supported Office document, the conversion may fail with an error message from the API.
  • API Authentication Errors:
    If your API key is missing or invalid, you may receive authentication errors. Check your 1001fxApi credentials.
  • Error Handling:
    If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an error field in the JSON with details about the failure.
