const pdf_file = 'Aspose.pdf';
AsposePdf().then(AsposePdfModule => {
    /*Convert a PDF-file to DocX and save the "ResultPDFtoDocX.docx"*/
    const json = AsposePdfModule.AsposePdfToDocX(pdf_file, "ResultPDFtoDocX.docx");
    console.log("AsposePdfToDocX => %O", json.errorCode == 0 ? json.fileNameResult : json.errorText);
});
