Is there a way to use the PDF backed to convert a docx file to pdf?

There's a commercial product:
https://converter-eval.plutext.com/

for which I tried the evaluiation version: it allows you to install it locally and run it as a daemon (it's a copiled binary so unfortunately it's not possible to decompile it and inspect the code), and let you to use it as a local endpoint to convert a docx file through an http post request.

In the converted PDF meta infomations (author) there's the string 'Skia'. I know that the meta information can be dited, but mayble someone here can tell me if there's a way to use skia as a conversion tool and point me to some example.

Thanks everyone

They might be using Skia to render the PDF, but they would still have
to take the .docx file and draw it; that's usually the hard part!

Thanks for the quick reply. 
Any chances to see a code example re how to do it (the drawing part)?
