alfresco - convert docx to pdf and create a new version

I' m trying to convert a docx document to pdf and store the newly created pdf file as a new version. This is the test code:

var document = search.findNode("workspace://SpacesStore/30f334f3-d357-4ea6-a09f-09eab2da7488");
var folder = document.parent

var pdf = document.transformDocument('application/pdf');
pdf.name = "tranformed-" + pdf.name;
pdf.save();

document.name = "new-" + document.name + ".pdf";
document.mimetype = "application/pdf";
document.content = pdf.content;
document.save();

The document ends up empty. Is this type of conversion possible with javaScript?

Thanks for your support.

The problem was assigning the pdf content.

The following code seems to work only with plain text content:

document.content = pdf.content;

Paradoxically, the following is needed when assigning pdf content to a document.

document.properties.content.write(pdf.properties.content);

Thanks.
