Assistance with how to setup and make this app work to convert office documents to PDF

greavette commented 4 years ago

Hello,

Adding my voice to this app where I can't get it to work for me?

I’m trying to automate the creation of PDF documents from the workflow in Nextcloud where certain .docx files have a special tag on them. I’ve installed libreoffice on my test nextcloud as per your suggestion. I confirmed the location of libreoffice using:

command -v libreoffice

being /usr/bin/libreoffice,

I updated my /usr/share/nextcloud/config/config.php file with the following line as per the PDF conversion documentation:

‘preview_libreoffice_path’ => ‘/usr/bin/libreoffice’,

To be safe I restarted my Nextcloud server.

I then configured a PDF Flow to look for Office Documents with my tag to create a PDF document.

I then went into a .docx document and made some changes to it and saved it. I expected the Flow to work but no PDF was created?

What am I missing in this setup? Any advice on what I’m missing to get this working for me?

Thank you.

Thanks for the reply, but this seems to be no solution for noobs. Maybe someone knows a other solution.

I am not aware of a way to set the cache dir as command line parameter. Otherwise the app cannot configure your system for you.
