I'm having issues converting a fairly basic word document as a proof of concept for a documentation system I'm working on.
I am using Gotenberg initially but like the feature set of Stirling and want to migrate.
The issue is the word document does not convert correctly (incorrect fonts/placement/size) especially the document property fields (such as title/subject) that are used, as well as some custom text boxes that are programmatically filled using openXML with signature information in.
I was having very similar issues in Gotenberg, but found that using the "exportformfields=false" as well as "flatten" and "allowDuplicateFieldNames" tidied it up..
I've attached the original docx (as sanitised as I can make it!), the gotenberg converted one and the 'converted' one from Stirling (Unraid container)..

BOB-33252001_v3a - Saturn - Mechanical Finish Specification (signed)_convertedToPDF (1).pdf
I can't see any options/API for passing the libreoffice conversion params which I think would alleviate the issues..
Its probably libreoffice that is the real root cause and having to use the options is probably a sticky plaster, but if I could at least use those it would give me some options to try to keep Stirling as the solution I can push forward with in the proposal.
