Hi,

Using the Alfresco OOTB Rendition Service, I'm able to convert a docx file with just the text content into PDF. But when trying to convert a docx (that has screenshot /images) into PDF, it throws the below error:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.rendition.RenditionServiceException: 11040055 Transformer for 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document' source mime type and 'application/pdf' target mime type was not found. Operation can't be performed

   at org.alfresco.repo.rendition.executer.AbstractTransformationRenderingEngine.render(AbstractTransformationRenderingEngine.java:112)
   at org.alfresco.repo.rendition.executer.AbstractRenderingEngine.executeRenditionImpl(AbstractRenderingEngine.java:504)

Also, below is a portion of the code that does the rendition:

RenditionDefinition renditionDef = registry.getRenditionService()
            .loadRenditionDefinition("pdfRendition");

ChildAssociationRef renditionAssoc = registry.getRenditionService()
                     .render(nodeRef, renditionDef);

Please let me know if you if there's a better way to do this.

Thanks,
Somu

This issue is now resolved(thanks to Alfreso Ent Support). The problem was that the "Open Office" server which is required to do the content transformation wasn't running in the background which is why the transformations were failing. Looks like with the OTB Alfresco Ent 4.0,2.9 Windows installer there's a problem that prevents/skips OO from being installed as a service(its called alfrescoOpenOffice on Windows services). The fix is to run the below script as Admin & the alfrescoOpenOffice service should get installed.

\alfresco\openoffice\scripts\openoffice_serviceinstall.bat

Once installed, make sure its always running if you'll be doing document transformations. Hope that helps!

Thanks,
Somu

Thanks to "valter_85" for extending his help. We learned from Alfresco support, that for best performance, its better to leave the following configs as such in tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco-global.properties

ooo.enabled=false
jodconverter.enabled=true

<a href="http://www.rasteredge.com/how-to/vb-net-imaging/word-convert-pdf/">Word to PDF</a> document conversion within vb.net application can be very easy that can be finished with following codes:

     Dim PDF As New RasterEdgeImaging()

     Public Sub WordConvertToPdf()
     If True Then
     WordInputFile = ("C:/1.docx")
     ImageOutputFile = ImageFormat.pdf
     End If
     End Sub
     doc.Save(@"C:/1.docx", 1, @"C:/1.pdf")
