Need an open source Plugin to convert DOCX to PDF.

Question

Hi Team, 
 I need a plugin having capability to convert DOCX to PDF format. I tried below available plugins for my requirement but I am unable to get any OPEN-SOURCE available for this.

advanced-document-templating-1.0.12.jar (It is not converting complete data. It only shows only picture format data to convert DOCX to PDF not shape format)

dynamic-document-generator-2.0.4.jar (It is not converting complete data. It only shows picture format data to convert DOCX to PDF not shape format) 
 
 convert-docx-to-pdf-(aspose)-2.0.10.jar (It is a paid License) 
 
 Out of these plugins, convert-docx-to-pdf-(aspose)-2.0.10.jar this plugin have the capability to convert DOCX to PDF but paid license required. So if you can suggest any other plugin which is available on Appian AppMarket to use for converting DOCX into PDF. (That should be Open Source)

You mean you're trying to have the literal text "###variableName###" in a PDF, and then subsequently replace that text with a value, from within Appian? Because I don't believe any such functionality exists. The only thing I know of that Appian can do as far as procedurally filling PDFs, is Fillable PDF fields.

I've found that docx to pdf conversion rarely works well. 
 If you need PDF, often best to go directly to PDF via the PDF Tools plugin or PDF from HTML/PDF from XSL-FO provided by the Dynamic Document Generator plugin.
