Olusiji commented 6 years ago

Hi, I installed LibreOffice on my Linux Centos VM and installed office-converter. But when i try to convert a docx to Pdf I get the "Convertion Failure! Contact Server Admin." error.

Please what are the possible causes of this error

Same problem here.

@Olusiji not sure if it's still relevant to you, but in the end i only used this line:

"{$libreoffice} --headless --convert-to {$outputExtension} {$oriFile} --outdir {$outputDirectory}";

$libreoffice should be the path to the "soffice" file, inside the LibreOffice installation folder/program

Working converting docx to pdf. If you need any further help, let me know.

@RodrigoZanotta Thanks. It seems the command in the library was not matching my version of libreoffice installed, so I modified the class's construct to run the command as libreoffice6.0 as opposed to libreoffice public function __construct($filename, $tempPath = null, $bin = 'libreoffice6.0')

Please was this later solved?

For Windows, you have to change the source code, as said here Too bad you can't just add a parameter in the construct method (you can change the $bin parameter through the __construct, but you must edit manually the 'export' line 245, changing it to 'set')
