DO you know any library to convert Microsoft Office documents like Word (.doc) or Excel (xlsx) into PDF using NodeJS? I have been looking around with no luck. Thanks

There is now https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nativedocuments/docx-wasm for doc/docx (not Excel files) – JasonPlutext Jan 22 '19 at 22:46

Well, I think the best possible converting option would be using the LibreOffice headless command line option.
libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf *.odt
So if you want to call from Node.js, you have to wrap the command line call into child process http://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html
