Configuring LibreOffice

You can transform a document from one format to another using the OOoJodconverter subsystem. This feature requires you to install LibreOffice.
The Jodconverter integration is a library that improves the stability and performance of LibreOffice in Alfresco Community Edition. The Jodconverter runs on the same machine as the Alfresco Community Edition server and it supports:
  • a pool of separate LibreOffice processes
  • automatic restart of crashed LibreOffice processes
  • automatic termination of slow LibreOffice operations
  • automatic restart of any LibreOffice process after a number of operations (this is a workaround for LibreOffice memory leaks)

It is also possible to use OpenOffice instead of LibreOffice.

  • Changing the OOoJodconverter subsystems The default subsystem for LibreOffice transformations is OOoJodconverter.
  • Jodconverter configuration properties The OOoJodconverter subsystem uses LibreOffice. Configure the following properties for the OOoJodconverter subsystem using either the Admin Console, JMX, or the global properties file.
  • Configuring OpenOffice transformations in place of LibreOffice LibreOffice is used in preference to OpenOffice in Alfresco Community Edition. Use this information if you need to configure OpenOffice transformations specifically. Although unsupported, it should be possible to use OpenOffice in place of LibreOffice. This can be done by setting the jodconverter.officeHome property to the path of the OpenOffice installation in the global properties file.
