In 1st of all. Thank you guys for exellent system.

Version OpenKM 4.0

How to enable preview generation for preview tab for images?
Can i generate preview for PDF and DOC files with pdf2swf module and OpenOffice?

First of all, thanks!

For document preview you need to install the pdf2swf utility. In Ubuntu is as simple as installing the swftools package. And you have to start OpenOffice.org in server mode. Also you need to add these two entries in the OpenKM.cfg file:

Code: Select all

system.openoffice=on
system.pdf2swf=/usr/bin/pdf2swf

Remember after changing OpenKM.cfg, jboss must be restarted

thx for quick response.

I had installed OOo and swftools.

had started OOo in server mod by command

Code: Select all

soffice \"-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager\" -nologo -headless -nofirststartwizard

from Pavila's post http://forum.openkm.com/viewtopic.php?f ... fice#p1270

had added two entries in the OpenKM.cfg file:

Code: Select all

system.openoffice=on
system.pdf2swf=/usr/bin/pdf2swf

jBoss is restarted

Now I see label "There was problem with the preview generation..." in preview tab for .PDF and .DOC files and unavailable preview for images.

JBoss posted in log

Code: Select all

Error in application/msword to PDF conversion
java.net.ConnectException: connection failed: socket,host=localhost,port=8100,tcpNoDelay=1: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

I'm understand that my openOffece isn't respond to OpenKM, but maybe you know true way =)

I see similar situation in your demo.

The command to start OpenOffice.org as service is this (seems to be equals as you posted):

Code: Select all

soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager" -nologo -headless -nofirststartwizard

Preview only works with some type of documents like PDF, MS Office and OpenOffice.org. Currently does not work with images. Also you can try to stop JBoss, delete the $JBOSS_HOME/cache folder and start JBoss again.

The preview wasn't working in OpenKM because OpenOffice.org was down, thanks.
