Conversion using OpenOffice under SLES 10 / Alfresco 1.3

Hi all, I've been trying (and failing) to make the alfresco/OpenOffice pair to convert word documents into PDF using automatic rules. I'm aware that OO2.0.2 is bogus on this regard, so I tried both 2.0.0 and 2.0.3 with the same result:Error Please correct the errors below then click Finish.* A sys

The methodology is as follow :

Under root space, create a new space named "test"

In that space, create a subspace called "converted documents" and create a rule (in space "test") stating that

Name property matches '*.doc'
Copies content to 'converted documents' and transforms to 'Adobe PDF Document'

Then upload any word document to the "test" workspace and voil?, don't edit any properties and click OK. The error then appears after a few seconds.

BTW the OO process doesn't run as root, would that be an issue I wonder… :?:
