```ruby
require 'libreconv'

# Converts document.docx to my_document_as.pdf
# This requires that the soffice binary is present in your PATH.
Libreconv.convert('document.docx', '/Users/ricn/pdf_documents/my_document_as.pdf')

# Converts document.docx to pdf and writes the output to the specified path
# This requires that the soffice binary is present in your PATH.
Libreconv.convert('document.docx', '/Users/ricn/pdf_documents')

# You can also convert a source file directly from an URL
Libreconv.convert('http://myserver.com/123/document.docx', '/Users/ricn/pdf_documents/doc.pdf')

# Converts document.docx to document.pdf
# If you for some reason can't have soffice in your PATH you can specifiy the file path to the soffice binary
Libreconv.convert('document.docx', '/Users/ricn/pdf_documents', '/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice')
