This n8n workflow automates the process of downloading a Word document and converting it into a PDF, then saving the result to disk. It is designed for users who need to quickly convert documents without manual intervention.
The workflow starts with a manual trigger, allowing users to initiate the process on demand. Once triggered, it downloads a Word (.docx) file from a specified URL using an HTTP request node. The download node retrieves the file as binary data.
The downloaded file then passes to the ‘File conversion’ node, which makes a POST request to the ConvertAPI service, sending the docx file for conversion into PDF format. The request includes necessary authentication via a ConvertAPI secret, which must be set up beforehand.
After conversion, the resulting PDF file is written to disk under the specified filename (‘document.pdf’) by the ‘Write Result File to Disk’ node.
Additionally, a sticky note provides a reminder about authentication setup for ConvertAPI, emphasizing the need for an account and secret key.
This workflow can be useful in scenarios where automation of document conversions is needed, such as on content management systems, automated report generation, or batch processing of documents in a business environment.
