How to convert docx to pdf on server?

Question

linux

There is a debian 7 server and a site in php. There was a need to convert the downloaded docx to pdf. All google search results in libreoffice --headless. However, the libra installation itself pulls in X11 dependencies. How safe is it in general?
Is it possible that everyone who encounters this is pulling graphics to a web server?

Answer 1

Yes, libreoffice wants _libraries_ x11 for headless. And no, it's not graphics as such, if the dependencies are resolved correctly.
At the same time, under Linux, perhaps, only such a solution allows you to get the most accurate docx-pdf conversion.
As for security, I don’t see any special problems with X libraries, the main problems will still be with libreoffice.
