Hi,

I am not aware of OpenOffice being able to open PDF documents. I might be wrong here, though. As a general rule, if the editors cannot import or export a format, then the soffice server won't be able to do it. Let me know if you are able to open the PDF in any of the editors. At any rate, the UnoContentTransformer does not have any such transformation enabled.

You have a case for transforming some other things to OpenOffice document formats. If you want a particular mimetype listed in the UI, check out the web-client-config.xml.


      <transformers>
         <transformer name="text/html"/>
         <transformer name="application/pdf"/>
         <transformer name="text/plain"/>
         <transformer name="text/xml"/>
         <transformer name="application/x-shockwave-flash"/>
         <transformer name="image/gif"/>
         <transformer name="image/jpeg"/>
      </transformers>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Having something in the list does not mean that the transformation will necessarily succeed. As I said, if you attempt a PDF to XML for instance then you will not have any luck. If the OpenOffice formats are interestring, then we can add them into the code as part of the build.
