Plutext Word to PDF Converter

Plutext's Word to PDF Converter is a on-premises server/service you can use in your application to programmatically convert or export Microsoft Word doc/docx files to PDF.

uses suitable fonts
produces PDF/A-2b compliant output (if set to do so)
is simple to install (especially compared to SharePoint, LibreOffice etc)
is fast (and multithreaded)
is frugal with resources
is secure (strict separation of conversion jobs)
runs as an operating system service (or via Docker).

This Word to PDF Converter is based on the Native Documents layout engine. If you are looking for PDF conversion in Javascript, client-side/in-browser, from node.js, on AWS Lambda or in an AWS Step Function, have a look at docx-wasm
