Save DOC

Save DOC is the file-writing end of WAS Node Suite's document story: it takes a DOC or plain text from any string output and writes it to disk, in whichever format you ask for. The file_format dropdown is the whole node - .wasdoc, .html, plain text, or a laid-out .docx, .odt or .pdf - so "what format does the world need this in" is a menu choice, not a pipeline redesign.

It pairs with the document side of the pack: Load Document brings a file in on a DOC wire, Rich Text Editor or Text to DOC produce one from nothing, and this node is where any of that ends up as a real file. The .wasdoc format is the suite's own container - the only format that keeps the metadata and embedded files intact for a later Load Document round trip. The rest are conversions for the outside world.

What each format actually is

• .wasdoc - the container itself. Loses nothing: markup, metadata, embedded files. Choose this for anything you'll read back into ComfyUI.
• .html - a whole page with the metadata in its head. The natural format for a document you're going to publish or email.
• .txt and friends - the text alone, tags removed.
• .docx, .odt, .pdf - the document laid out on a page. These are a conversion, not a copy, so some styling doesn't survive - that's the honest caveat baked into the tooltips.

The docx/odt/pdf trio is the one part of the pack that wants packages you don't have yet. Save DOC reads through python-docx, odfdo and xhtml2pdf, named in the error when any is missing, and the group sits behind document_export in config.yaml. The README's optional install, for a portable ComfyUI:

python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install -r ComfyUI\custom_nodes\was-node-suite-comfyui\requirements\document_export.txt

then set document_export: true under features: in config.yaml and restart. Everything else this node does needs nothing beyond the pack itself.

The filename machinery

Like the other save nodes it numbers files unless you stop it: filename_prefix (tokens expand here, so a date can go in), filename_delimiter, filename_number_padding (4 gives _0001; 0 drops the number entirely and the exact name is written). A filename_suffix of _draft lands after the number. For the page formats there's also page_size (A4 by default) and orientation. The single output, file_path, is the full path written - wire it into a log, a report, or a ZIP collection so the document doesn't vanish into the output folder unnoticed.

The containment rule

The file has to land somewhere the pack may write: ComfyUI's own output or temp, or a folder you've added under paths.allow_write in config.yaml. Outside those, the write is refused rather than silently dumping somewhere. That boundary is why root is a menu of permitted places rather than a free-text path box - it's a security feature wearing a UX hat.

Installing

Save DOC ships in WAS Node Suite v3 - ComfyUI Manager, search WAS Node Suite v3, or clone https://github.com/WASasquatch/was-node-suite-comfyui into custom_nodes and restart. Needs ComfyUI 0.14.0+ and Python 3.10+. The pack itself installs nothing; the only extra step is the optional document_export requirements above, if you want the three laid-out formats.

Worth knowing: .pdf is written, never read - the pack's Load Document explicitly refuses PDFs. Save DOC is an output node in the practical sense; if you need a PDF into a workflow, convert it first.
