@hathemi, it seems to me that you have posted before on this general topic. I suggest you review the replies you received at [How can i append to PDF file in Node-Red?](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-can-i-append-to-pdf-file-in-node-red/5162) and [Store data in pdf file](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/store-data-in-pdf-file/5136). You may have exhausted all the help this group can offer.

My final suggestion is that you find a file translator or pipeline of translators that does the job for you and invoke it from an `exec` node. You can test it from the command line first. File permissions aside, anything you can do from the command line you can do from inside node-RED. (Apologies to @TotallyInformation. I posted before reading his comment.)
