Preview functions in Linux

[kerby]

I installed Alfresco in linux, but preview function are not available. That means  documents uploaded can't be previewed and thumbnails are not generated.
There is REST API:

http://<servername>:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/<id>/content/thumbnails/webpreview
‍‍

Preview functions works well on windows, I don't know how to make it work on linux. Someone can help me?

I noticed that in repository.properties :

# External executable locations
ooo.exe=soffice
ooo.user=${dir.root}/oouser
img.root=./ImageMagick
img.dyn=${img.root}/lib
img.exe=${img.root}/bin/convert
swf.exe=./bin/pdf2swf‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Shoud I install pdf2swf ? And how to config it to make preview functions work?

Search for ooo.exe

You should definitely install pdf2swf since webpreviews are Flash/FLEX components.

Thanks a lot!
I installed swftools, and ducuments with suffix .pdf .txt .jpg can be previewed. But *.doc and *.docx documents can not be previewed.
I haven't installed open office yet, is this the reason?

[jayjayecl]

absolutely.

Because of the "chain of transformations" :
Office document => OpenDocument (OpenOffice) document => PDF document => SWF document
