could not load input document / URL seems to be an unsupported one.

[Joey Beninghove]

Hi folks,
I'm having some issues getting the JOD Converter working on a CentOS
box I'm being made to work with for this app. After jumping through
many hoops, I finally found the instructions here:
http://iwonderdesigns.posterous.com/how-to-run-jodconverteropenoffice-on-your-hos

After following those instructions and running the following against
an existing document in the working directory:

$ java -jar ~/lib/jod/jodconverter-2.2.2/lib/jodconverter-
cli-2.2.2.jar 337.doc 337.pdf

I get this:

Any ideas what could be happening here?

FWIW, I have all of this working just fine on an Ubuntu box I was
testing it out on. So I must've done something wrong in the setting
up of all of this on CentOS.

Thanks,
Joey
