Are you sure OpenOffice is actually running (and not just installed)..?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

I run OpenOffice in headless mode, I started it with "soffice.exe -headless" from the command line but I receive the folowing error:

Hi

Sorry - I'd misread what you are trying to do. OpenOffice can't import PDF files, so that transofrmation doesn't exist. In fact PDF tends to be a final step for all content transformations (other than to plain text).

In theory you could set-up a complex transformer to do PDF->txt->OpenOffice but this isn't configured OOTB. Please see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformations#ComplexContentTransformer for details.

Thanks,
Mike
