For the convert to PDF functionality you need to have Libre Office installed on the server.
Operations
- Fill in placeholders of a DocX file.
- Convert to pdf with Libre office, keep in mind that Libre office should be installed on the server. When using Docker it needs to be installed inside the image.
Compatibility
Version 0.2.0 uses only public n8n node APIs and supports n8n 2.x.
| n8n version | Validation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0.3 | Compiled against its exact n8n-workflow@2.0.1 dependency |
Supported |
| 2.31.5 | Built and tested against n8n-workflow@2.31.3 |
Supported |
| Other stable 2.x releases | Covered by the >=2.0.1 <3.0.0 peer dependency and public API contract |

The node supports n8n's database, filesystem, memory, and external binary storage
through getBinaryDataBuffer() and prepareBinaryData(). The value in Template
Binary Field must match the incoming binary field name, such as data ortemplate.
PDF conversion additionally requires a working LibreOffice installation in the
same runtime or Docker image as n8n. DOCX generation does not require LibreOffice.
