Hi Appian Devs
I need a bit reference from you to use the right plugin to convert a docx file to pdf which can carry the correct formatting including font style, font family, special characters, ###tags### and text colors correctly during the conversion from docx to pdf.
Can you help me in picking out the right plugin?

The best one that I have personally used is Aspose. It is a paid one though, but it you want to test you sign up for a temporary 1 month trial.

I wasn't able to find a free plugin which saves all the formatting / headers / footers, etc except this one.

If you are using any special fonts which are not very common, you can even upload them

Also, did you try out Dynamic Document Generator, it does have a Word to PDF conversion smart service, however, it didnt retain  formatting in my scenario.

Aspose free trial is already installed in my app.
And there are alot of configurations for aspose.
Dynamic document generator is changing the formatiing in the output.
