Tranformation problems with OpenOffice

refinety

Hi!

I'am new to Alfresco and OpenOffice so I am not sure if this is posted in the right forum.

My problem is that I can't get the transformation rules to work. I have installed Alfresco and OpenOffice regarding to the instructions but when I try to transform a PDF document to an OpenOffice text document I'll get Unknown Exception in Transaction error. When I try to transform a PDF to plain text it works find.

Hi,

You'll have to dig out some logs and post that information in order for somebody to help you.

Are you sure OpenOffice is actually running (and not just installed)..?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

I run OpenOffice in headless mode, I started it with "soffice.exe -headless" from the command line but I receive the folowing error:

Hi

Sorry - I'd misread what you are trying to do. OpenOffice can't import PDF files, so that transofrmation doesn't exist. In fact PDF tends to be a final step for all content transformations (other than to plain text).

In theory you could set-up a complex transformer to do PDF->txt->OpenOffice but this isn't configured OOTB. Please see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformations#ComplexContentTransformer for details.

Thanks,
Mike

Ok,
