Convert docx to pdf

[KunalC]

We have situation where we need to convert docx to pdf. We are using
OOo 2.0.4 service, jodconverter 2.2.1. Thing is while trying to
convert a docx file to pdf its coming up with an
illegalArgumentException for the formed URL. We tried using
DocumentFormat for docx but this doesn't seems to be working.

Can I have some leads on this?

Thanks

Hi
I had a similar problem but was able to process docx files using latest version of OpenOffice 3.xx and JodConverter 3.0.beta
Hope it helps

That's right OOo 2.x can't open docx, you need OOo 3.x.

Try using OpenOfficeDocumentConverter instead of
StreamOpenOfficeDocumentConverter. It may be that OOo is not able to
detect the docx file type with streams.

The docx format in DefaultDocumentFormatRegistry is correct and
working. There's no setExportFilter() because OOo can't export to
docx, only import it. You must have had a different problem.

I can convert docx files just fine. Please attach/upload your document
somewhere.

If your document has linked images that are only available on your
machine, and you're converting on another machine, then of course
images will be missing.

Works fine here and online, the PDF includes images.

This works fine with the same document in ".doc" format, both Word for
Mac 2004 and Word for Mac 2008. This is jodconverter3-beta-3, with OO
3.0.1, on OS X 10.5.7. My code looks like:

openoffice = "/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents";
officeManager = new DefaultOfficeManagerConfiguration()
.setOfficeHome(openoffice)
.setTaskExecutionTimeout(30000L)
.buildOfficeManager();
officeManager.start();
(new OfficeDocumentConverter(officeManager)).convert(file,
tempfile);

I tried your web-based converter, and it converts there, just fine,
too. So it must be something in my code...

I installed OpenOffice 3.1, and my problem went away...

Yep installing the latest OOo version should always be the first thing
to try... I'll add a sticky message on top of this group.
