| Hi HN, I wanted a way to convert .docx to .pdf without uploading my files to a random server or installing a 2GB LaTeX distribution. I built a simple tool that runs Pandoc and Typst entirely in the browser via WebAssembly. How it works: - Pandoc (WASM) parses the .docx file. - It outputs Typst markup. - Typst (WASM) compiles that markup into a PDF. Status: It's still a work in progress. It handles basic formatting, tables, and images well enough for daily use, though complex Word layouts might still be a bit wonky. Why this? - Privacy: Everything stays in your browser. - Speed: No server round-trips. - Lightweight: No need to install Pandoc or Typst locally. Check it out: https://toolkuai.com/word-to-pdf Feedback is welcome, especially on how to better map Word styles to Typst. |
