Thanks for pointing out the confusing step 7 in the document-conversion-nodejs repo. That's not a valid step and I've submitted a pull request to remove it.

You should be able to change the sample files with your own, if this is what you are trying to do. I would need to see some of your code to maybe figure out what is going on with it.

There is an alternative repository [watson-developer-cloud/node-sdk] that you also can use to create your NodeJS application. It also has an example (examples/document_conversion.v1.js) on how to run the service.

Besides entering your service credentials, all you need to do is place the document you want to convert in the "resources" folder and point to it in this line:

fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/resources/YOUR_DOCUMENT')

The tutorial and the API documentation could also be of help.
