Some arrows get reversed, text background transparency isn't ported and a few other conversion bugs are still there.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I looked at the supported platforms: </SPAN><A href="http://www.alfresco.com/services/subscription/supported-platforms" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.alfresco.com/services/subscription/supported-platforms</A><SPAN> to see if there were any alternatives to libreoffice converter but I can't even see libreoffice, just openoffice. So I guess no alternative Adobe or Microsoft solution are available.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is alfresco enterprise version handling those conversions in a more reliable way?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Did any of you had the same problem (which seems quite standard to me) and managed to find a workaround (export to another easily readable format, automated a successfull docx-&gt;odt transformation upfront, etc.) ?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks for your time.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:26:22 GMT scouil 2012-12-11T11:26:22Z docx to pdf: libreoffice improvements https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/docx-to-pdf-libreoffice-improvements/m-p/257475#M210605 Hello,We've got a lot of documents in doc/docx format that we'd like to automatically convert to pdf in order to version both the source editable document and expose a pdf to our users.I had alfresco 4.0a running on an ubuntu server machine.The pdf conversion of those documents into pdf was really b Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:26:22 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/docx-to-pdf-libreoffice-improvements/m-p/257475#M210605 scouil 2012-12-11T11:26:22Z Re: docx to pdf: libreoffice improvements https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/docx-to-pdf-libreoffice-improvements/m-p/257476#M210606 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>For Enterprise there's also the option of the&nbsp; Alfresco Transformation Server that uses Office for MS file conversion.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Not sure what's going on with the libra office / open office politics.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 11 Dec 2012 14:15:18 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/docx-to-pdf-libreoffice-improvements/m-p/257476#M210606 mrogers 2012-12-11T14:15:18Z Re: docx to pdf: libreoffice improvements https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/docx-to-pdf-libreoffice-improvements/m-p/257477#M210607 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks for your quick answer!</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I'll have a look at it.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 11 Dec 2012 15:09:59 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/docx-to-pdf-libreoffice-improvements/m-p/257477#M210607 scouil 2012-12-11T15:09:59Z Re: docx to pdf: libreoffice improvements https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/docx-to-pdf-libreoffice-improvements/m-p/257478#M210608 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><A href="http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/general/announcements/document-capture-alfresco-04162013-1311" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/general/announcements/document-capture-alfresco-04162013-1311</A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>We have a module that converts any document to PDF and then releases it to Alfresco. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>-Srikant</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 16 Apr 2013 08:17:37 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/docx-to-pdf-libreoffice-improvements/m-p/257478#M210608 stallapragada 2013-04-16T08:17:37Z
