I've made it to work with PDFs but I can't get doc/docx previews working.

I have OO installed

Fixed, with the help of two recent posts in different thread (http://forum.openkm.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4227#p7688).
yfzhou72 wrote:Issue sovled.

Change the setting as following:

old: not work
system.openoffice=c:\\program files\\openoffice.org 3\\

new: workable
system.openoffice.path=c:\\program files\\openoffice.org 3\\
system.openoffice.port=8100

but the setting is different from the documents.

Still, DOCX is not working.. while XLSX are fine.
Also I JPEG images are not working while GIF & PNG do.

For DOCX I get: Document URL not provided or invalid
As for JPEG I get the swf with: There was a problem with the preview generation. Please, contact your OpenKM administrator.

I've not seen imagemagick and swftools in your OpenKM.cfg

Re: DOC/DOCX preview

 #7703  by andi.teodorescu
 
Not in the config I posted.

DOCX are fixed, I've removed openoffice given by CentOS repo and installed latest version from their site. The PDF generated was damaged.

ImageMagick and swftools are installed and configured but it works only for PNG&GIFs.

Try converting document directly with open office to see if it runs well there. With which ms office version have you generated docx ? 2010 is not good idea probably

Like I said, DOCX are working fine now with OO 3.2 and yes, I've been using Office 2010.

JPEG & TXT is still not working...

i've try to preview .docx files. some files are ok but errors "Documment URL is not provided or invalid" appears when trying preview with some others. I've also try with the Demo but got same errors (many .doc files on Demo are not be previewed).

Re: DOC/DOCX preview

 #7993  by jllort
 
For what appearing on server.log the problem is on doc to pdf conversion service by open office. Seems don't likes the document to be converted. Could you try with one of that documents opening directly with open office and covert to pdf. That documents are microsoft office 2010 no ? The problem could be is so newer format for open office ( could you try saving as 2007 version ).

Re: DOC/DOCX preview

I think DOCX support is only available from OpenOffice.org 3.2.x, but not in 3.1.x. Try to open this kind of file from OpenOffice. Also note that OpenKM 4.1 can't preview DOCX with independence of the OpenOffice version.

Could you try with one of that documents opening directly with open office and covert to pdf. That documents are microsoft office 2010 no ? The problem could be is so newer format for open office ( could you try saving as 2007 version ).
I am using office 2010. OpenOffice work well with this file.
i also save as it into previous Word version but nothing changed.
