docx-template-translator

To convert LaTeX or Markdown to a Word document matching your template, this Skill inspects the target DOCX, remaps styles, and patches a Python postprocessor to preserve headings, cover pages, and front matter. It outputs a finalized DOCX compliant with institutional formatting.

Yes, converting PDF to DOCX requires Microsoft Word installed for finalization. While Python libraries like PyMuPDF and python-docx handle inspection and patching, Word is needed to render the final PDF preview and validate formatting compliance.

The best way to automate institutional formatting is running a starter pipeline that inspects your DOCX template, remaps styles, and protects native front matter. It generates a final DOCX validated against a rendered PDF preview.

Yes, you can protect native front matter during conversion. The Skill uses a project-specific Python postprocessor that patches the generated body into the template while explicitly protecting native template sections like cover pages and TOCs.

Converted Word documents lose template styles when styles are not properly remapped. This Skill prevents mismatch by inspecting the template, remapping styles to preserve captions and headings, and validating a rendered PDF preview before finalization.

Yes, you need Python dependencies including python-docx, pywin32, PyMuPDF, and Pillow to automate DOCX template conversion. These libraries enable template inspection, style patching, and PDF preview rendering for QA validation.
