system.openoffice and previewer configuration for Windows

[sstrauss87]

Having some trouble getting the previewer to work right. Hoping someone can help me out.

I have attachments showing my settings and what my previewer is showing me, thanks for any tips!

The system.pdftools.pdf2swf property requires que path to the pdf2swf executable.

Thanks for the reply.
Whenever I try to direct them to the executable the configuration check says it cannot be read. When I send it to the folder the check goes fine. Neither way seems to work.

You should set something like this:

- system.swftools.pdf2swf=c:\SWFTools\pdf2swf.exe
- system.openoffice.path=c:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org

As is explained in migration guide http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Migrat ... 8_to_5.1.9 the pdf2swf needs some extra parameters for this version

Code: Select all

pdf2swf -T 9 -f ${fileIn} -o ${fileOut}

system.openoffice.server should not be set.

[sstrauss87]

Thanks guys. I wasn't sure if that applied to Windows, Everything in the Wiki looks like its written for the linux versions.

[jllort]

Our development environment and major customer server are linux, really that's the place where any application will get major performance. Althought it, we take in special consideration windows users too. Really openkm is platform independant. We test always in linux and windows environments, but obviously if our development environment and major customers uses linux servers, these has more deep present in wiki by default.

We try always explaining so deep as we can how doing configurations, but understanding - in linux world too - that depending your OS ( there're a lot of think that depending linux distribution debian, red hat, suse, etc... have some diferences how is described in wiki ). We suppose there're some administrator skills with theirs servers and OS, we indicate the way so good as we can, but we can not walk for you.

My problem is about previewing pdf file.

OpenKM Version 6.2.2
OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit

I have installed swftools version 0.9.0 into C:\SWFTools, downloaded from http://www.swftools.org/
I have update OpenKm.cfg file as "system.swftools.pdf2swf=c:/SWFTools/pdf2swf.exe "
I have changed the value in setting of Administration tab for the key system.swftools.pdf2swf as c:/SWFTools/pdf2swf.exe.

What could be the problem the error is as: Conversion:C:\tomcat\repository\datastore\ef\5e\.......(The system can not find the path specified)

Shall I have to do any other setting besides above mentioned?

[jllort]

Can you download the file that you try to convert ?
Try convert the file from command line.
If you take a look at wiki swftools configuration http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/SWFTools you'll see the parameter configuration should be something like

Code: Select all

system.swftools.pdf2swf=c:\\SWFTools\\pdf2swf.exe -T 9 -f ${fileIn} -o ${fileOut}

I think in your configuration have forgot the ends of the configuration parameter -T 9 -f ${fileIn} -o ${fileOut}

Thanks for reply jllort,

Though I have a problem of previewing all kind of files like image , MS-office files and pdf but first I want to solve the problem of pdf. A such I posted the issue for pdf only. I knew that for image file I have to install s/w imagemagick and for MS-office files I should install and configure for openOffice. That I will illustrate later.

For PDf files:

I have updated my OpenKM.cfg file as :

Code: Select all

system.swftools.pdf2swf=C:/tomcat/bin/swftools/pdf2swf.exe -T 9 -f -t -G -s storeallcharacters ${fileIn} -o ${fileOut}

or

Code: Select all

system.swftools.pdf2swf=C:\\tomcat\\bin\\swftools\\pdf2swf.exe -T 9 -f -t -G -s storeallcharacters ${fileIn} -o ${fileOut}

I have changed the value in setting of Administration tab for the key system.swftools.pdf2swf as C:/tomcat/bin/swftools/pdf2swf.exe . Also during the configuration checking everything is ok.

Hope to get a solution for it.

Now I able to download the file but still problem of pre-viewing. The error is as:

[jllort]

I suggest try pdf2swf.exe directly from your terminal to see if there's some error other side the both configuration seems right. Anyway is strange place to store swftools, is not necessary install into tomcat folder or subfolder can be outside without major problem.
