❔ Convert .docx to .pdf without restrictions
I need to make a .pdf from a .docx, but there is a problem I have been looking at libraries and they have limitations. I need to convert a document with up to 50 pages. Are there any libraries that do not have limitations or how to divide the .docx document itself. I have spent many hours but have not found any libraries or a way.

what do you define as a "limitation"?
LibreOffice/OpenOffice with CLI: LibreOffice and OpenOffice have command-line interfaces that can convert .docx to .pdf without limitations on the number of pages. You can automate the conversion process by using the soffice command.
Apache PDFBox: This is a Java library that can be used to create and manipulate PDF documents. You can use it in combination with Apache POI (which handles .docx files) to convert documents to PDF.
Alternatively, you can use the python-docx library to automate the splitting of the document, if you are at all familiar with that language.
Most of those libraries usually require licenses if you want to perform more than a certain limit, e.g., over X pages

I need to display Word .doc and .docx files in a browser. There's no real client-side way to do this and these documents can't be shared with Google docs or Microsoft Office 365 for legal reasons.
