Questions about installing/upgrading to Alfresco Community 7.0 and Alfresco Transform Service

I'm trying to install Alfresco Community 7.0 with the distribution zip. I can log in but can't preview or edit any documents within Share (and I see no errors in the logs). I did install the alfresco pdf renderer, libreoffice, and imagemagick.

Do I need to install Alfresco Transform Service rather than the individual components (libreoffice, imagemagick, etc)? If so, where can I download the Alfresco Transform Service package?

I have found a similar post, but its still unclear to me: https://hub.alfresco.com/t5/alfresco-content-services-forum/need-to-evaluate-acs7-but-wanted-to-install-using-distribution/m-p/306785#M24070

One of the responses to the post linked above suggests only the alfresco-transform-core-aio-boot jar needs to be ran as a service, but the Alfresco Transform Service install documentation suggests theres more to it than that.

Additionally, I could not find any information regarding Alfresco Transform Service in the Alfresco Community install documentation https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/community/install/zip/. The only detail of the Tranform Service I could find is on the overview component diagram.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Hello,

Yes for community edition you have to only run the jar as a service or using your command prompt and pass the arguments.

java -DPDFRENDERER_EXE="/alfresco7.0/alfresco-pdf-renderer/alfresco-pdf-renderer.exe" ^
 -DLIBREOFFICE_HOME="/alfresco7.0/libreoffice" ^
 -DIMAGEMAGICK_ROOT="/alfresco7.0/imagemagick" ^
 -DIMAGEMAGICK_DYN="/alfresco7.0/imagemagick" ^
 -DIMAGEMAGICK_EXE="/alfresco7.0/imagemagick/convert.exe" ^
 -DACTIVEMQ_URL=failover:(tcp://localhost:61616)?timeout=3000 ^
 -jar alfresco-transform-core-aio-boot-2.3.10.jar

Please check the enterprise transformation service updates here,
