I'm using officer to create a word document in an application deploy through shinyapps. That discards the use of libreoffice, the "install and define the path" thing.

So, is there a way to create pdf from docx without the need of libreoffice?

Thanks

To my knowledge, you can only create pdf from docx with libreoffice or with Word. It's implemented in package doconv (https://cran.r-project.org/package=doconv).

Maybe there are solutions with some external web services (but I think you will have to pay a license) but nothing implemented as FOSS.

With shinyapps, only the second one seems possible right now.
