AFAICT when we get data from the pandoc process's stdout/stderr streams, node is giving us a Buffer, which isn't so readable when passed to console.log. Please see my comment on the line in question, 9464d99#commitcomment-19144267

It would be helpful if we converted it to a string before console.logging it

Let me know if you'd like a PR

I tried to build a lambda function to create a PDF from a tex template.

And this is the output I'm getting:

> executing /tmp/pandoc in .
> pandoc: ./tex2pdf.-6d47e0bd3f553783: createDirectory: permission denied (Read-only file system)                                                         

This is the relevant code from my lambda function:

const pandoc = require('pandoc-aws-lambda-binary');
exports.lambdaHandler = async (event, context) => {
  const result = await pandoc('test_input.tex', '/tmp/test_output.pdf');

The issue seems that anything but the /tmp folder inside the lambda container is read-only.

Is there a way to tell pandoc to create its temp directory in /tmp?
Or is there a way to execute pandoc from /tmp?

I'm getting this error:

`cabal: The following packages are likely to be broken by the reinstalls:
parsec-3.1.13.0
Cabal-2.2.0.1
Use --force-reinstalls if you want to install anyway.

make: *** [bin/pandoc] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2`

Do you know how to fix this?

Thank you so much for the Lambda Layer for pandoc! Great to see more amazing libraries ready for the serverless world. I am having an issue with trying to do a docx conversion. I am trying to convert to json, but tried others as well. I was able to convert a text file, so I know everything is installed properly. I also read the file before trying the convert in memory and all looks good.

This is a link to the docx file I am using as a test.

The error I am getting is...

I tried a docx created on OSX as well as one downloaded from Google Docs. Any ideas why docx is not working?
