Many thanks for replying. I'm completely new to Alfresco so it took me a while to find the location of the content-services-context.xml file, but once I found it I can see that only a few, basic content transformers are built-in. When I create a content rule to convert PDF to TXT, that works, since there is a rule defined for that. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So my next question&nbsp; <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" />&nbsp; is: does anyone have working examples of other content transformers that I could take a look at? I don't really understand how to create one of my own. </SPAN><A href="http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformations" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformations</A><SPAN> provides a sample XML file for creating a custom transformer, but I don't understand which application I would call to (for example) convert a PDF to .rtf or .doc format. I'm guessing this is something Open Office can do, and since that's installed with Alfresco it seems like I should be able to get this to work without too much difficulty. But perhaps I'm being overly optimistic&nbsp; :wink:</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 20 May 2010 15:56:49 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/3-3-transformer-error-when-attempting-to-convert-pdf-to-rtf/m-p/229480#M182610 danggang 2010-05-20T15:56:49Z Re: 3.3 transformer error when attempting to convert PDF to RTF https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/3-3-transformer-error-when-attempting-to-convert-pdf-to-rtf/m-p/229481#M182611 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Yes, you can convert anything to pdf , all the stuff that open office does. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> you need to start OO in headless mode, and set up the paths for this.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 20 May 2010 16:18:12 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/3-3-transformer-error-when-attempting-to-convert-pdf-to-rtf/m-p/229481#M182611 savic_prvoslav 2010-05-20T16:18:12Z
