Open Office Integration with Liferay

Open Office Integration with Liferay

Purpose of the Open Office integration is to convert one type of data format to another type

of data format. 

For example I have uploaded one word document into documentLibrary portlet. But I want to 

download the document as pdf. Here in this scenerio openoffice integration comes into the 

picture.

To integrate with Liferay Portal Server please follow the below steps : 

Step 1 :     Install openoffice software into your machine. We can install the software on any OS like windows, MAC, linux.

Step 2 :    Go to the folder where it was installed (for example, C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org\program) and start OpenOffice service with the following command:

        open cmd and run the below command under above specified path

        soffice -headless -accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" -nofirststartwizard 

        The above command will be executed irrespective of Operating Systems. 

Step 3 :    Goto Control panel --> Server Category --> Server Administration --> Open Office

Step 4 :     Select check box of Enableed and make sure that port number should be 8100

or

Step 5 :     We can enable the property from portal-ext.properties by providing the property as

        openoffice.server.enabled=true

        openoffice.server.host=//YourServerURL//

Step 6 :     Now you can upload the document into document library and try to download the document in another format.

I hope it will be helpful to  you.
