How to Convert PPTX to PDF in Node.js

Not everyone can open PPTX files on their machine, so it’s a great idea to have PDF versions of your presentations handy. Thankfully, the below API will make that file conversion easy. Just follow instructions to copy & paste complementary Node.js examples, and you’ll be ready to convert your PDF files in minutes.

First, install the SDK by either running the following command:

npm install cloudmersive-convert-api-client --save

Or copying this snippet to your package.json instead:

  "dependencies": {
    "cloudmersive-convert-api-client": "^2.6.3"
  }

Next, call the function:

var CloudmersiveConvertApiClient = require('cloudmersive-convert-api-client');
var defaultClient = CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ApiClient.instance;

// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
var Apikey = defaultClient.authentications['Apikey'];
Apikey.apiKey = 'YOUR API KEY';



var apiInstance = new CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ConvertDocumentApi();

var inputFile = Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("C:\\temp\\inputfile").buffer); // File | Input file to perform the operation on.


var callback = function(error, data, response) {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);
  }
};
apiInstance.convertDocumentPptxToPdf(inputFile, callback);

To satisfy the API key field, simply register a free account on our website and copy & paste your free-tier API key where prompted. Free-tier API keys provide a limit of 800 API calls per month with zero additional commitments (the total will reset the following month).
