Could you build this?
Partial A basic API wrapper can be vibe-coded, but reliably converting arbitrary formats (DOCX, PPTX, complex HTML/JS) to PDF at scale requires managing headless Chrome clusters and sandboxed LibreOffice instances.
What it would actually take: A reliable conversion service requires a pooled, autoscaling fleet of headless Chromium instances (via Puppeteer/Playwright) and sandboxed LibreOffice worker processes running inside ephemeral containers (Docker/Kubernetes). Handling concurrency, memory leaks, crashed browser instances, font embedding, and untrusted file execution requires robust infrastructure orchestration and security sandboxing. Specialized systems engineering is necessary to ensure consistent rendering fidelity and protect against SSRF/arbitrary file execution vulnerabilities.
