Docx Template with handlebars to PDF

dannehhh

Hi, new user here.
We've started using JSReport as a docx-template filler in our system with handlebars, but sometimes we would like the output of this template to be a PDF.
What's the convention and best practice here?

jsreport.render({
        template: {
          engine: 'handlebars',
          recipe: 'docx',
          helpers: this.helpers,
          docx: {
            templateAsset: {
              content: content.toString('base64'),
              encoding: 'base64',
            },
          },
        },
        data: formattedData,
      });

You have two options.

Use unoconv extension which allows to convert docx to pdf
https://jsreport.net/learn/unoconv

Write two separate templates for docx and pdf. One using handlebars in docx template and second using html and chrome convert.

Thanks!
(For some reason, I hoped it will be easy as flipping the recipe switch)
