NAME
jodconverter - Office documents converter
SYNOPSIS
jodconverter input-document output-document
DESCRIPTION
jodconverter converts input-document into output-document by using the
OpenOffice import/export filters.
Before you can perform any conversions you need to start OpenOffice.org in listening mode on port 8100 as described in the JODConverter Guide.
As a quick start you can type from a command line
soffice -headless -accept="socket,port=8100;urp;"
BUGS
- Do not start concurrent executions of jodconverter, as OpenOffice.org
doesn't handle multi-threading reliably and would crash.
